	As long as you are online, on the server, you are always considered In-Character. If you’re yet required to AFK, you’re recommended to log off so that you won’t be interacted with as there’s the risk of you being Attacked on Sight (AOS) even while you’re AFK.

			'''Out-Of-Character chatter in the local channel should be kept to a minimum.''' Local is intended first and foremost for in-character communication and roleplay. Any necessary out-of-character messages should be brief and clearly marked with brackets or parentheses. Local is not to be used for arguments, passive comments, or ongoing OOC discussions. Concerns regarding rule-breaks should be addressed in a ticket, not argued amongst players. Repeatedly disrupting roleplay flow with excessive OOC in Local may result in staff action.

	* Players may temporarily enable PvP intent through in-game mechanics (~~such as~~ bribing guards). When enabled, PvP is only allowed within the ~~'''~~specified timeframe and conditions~~'''~~ provided by the mechanic.		* By default, PvP actions and attack-on-sight behavior are not permitted inside admin-controlled towns/hubs, or in the space between the caravan and the hub.
	* ~~Players~~ who ~~initiate or engage in PvP~~ outside ~~of Town are~~ not ~~permitted~~ to ~~flee into Town for assistance~~ or ~~protection~~. ~~A one-time caravan escape from~~ the island ~~may be used. Town guards will not permit active fighting to enter or continue within Town limits~~.		* Players may temporarily enable PvP intent through in-game mechanics (e.g., bribing guards). When enabled, PvP is only allowed within the specified timeframe and under the conditions provided by the mechanic.
	* Players assigned to ~~Guard~~ duty ~~remain~~ subject to ~~these PvP~~ rules. They ~~are required to join any PvP instance as defenders but~~ are not permitted to initiate combat. Players may not bribe ~~Guard~~-duty players; only NPC guards may be bribed.		* A notification will be sent to all players within range when PvP is enabled.
	* ~~NPC guards may offer a bribery option, allowing players to use gold coins to bribe them, which will establish a limited time window in which PvP may be declared~~. ~~This can only occur if~~ the ~~players~~ who ~~are intended~~ PvP ~~participants~~ are ~~within message (shout) range of~~ the ~~guard. Once~~ the ~~intent period expires~~, the ~~guard will automatically emit another message~~.		* Anyone who sees the notification may join the fight.
			* If the defender moves the fight outside the hub walls, they may not return to the hub or use warps. Their options are to fight it out or flee and try to hide somewhere on the island.

			====== Guard Duty Rules ======
			Players assigned to guard duty are subject to the following rules:
			* If they join, they must join the defending side.
			* They are not permitted to initiate combat.
			* Players may not bribe guard-duty players; only NPC guards may be bribed.

			====== Consequences ======
			* Cons: Only minor cons are allowed. Aftermath RP is mandatory.

			===== Outside the Hub / Caravan Trail =====
			* Players who initiate or engage in PvP on Sapphire Island outside the hub, or outside the road between the hub and the caravan, may do so, but warps are still not allowed.
			* If the defender reaches inside the hub walls, the PvP ends. The defender is then considered saved by the guards.
