Dalk Rules & Other Information

This thread is the general information center of Dalk. Everything you need to know is here. Only reply to this thread to discuss rule changes/clarification, please.​

Rules

Spoiler

For these rules, Comayor = Mayor.


General

1. Griefing=ban. Modifying the surrounding landscape is considered grief.
2. Only build on your plot.
3. No mining. There's a whole world for that!
4. After 2 weeks of absence, you will be removed from the town.
5. The mayor has the right to enter your house at any time.
6. Enter no one's property without permission.

Plots

1. If you want to add multiple players to your plot, there is a 50% fee taken from the cost of the previous player, down to a minimum of $250. Ex: The initial price is 1k, and 4 players want to share it. The total cost is 1000+500+250+250 = $2000, but the initial price is still $1000. The plot is still considered owned by the one paying, so only the payer needs to be offline for 2 weeks to have all players removed. More leniency is typically given in this situation, however.
2. If you want, the mayor will buy back your plot for half the initial price at any time.
3. You may not sell back combined plots. They must be returned to their original state. The mayor can help with this.
4. Alternatively, you may sell or rent a plot to another player. The mayor must be present, and taxes will apply. There is a 25% tax on players not in the town and a 10% tax on those who are already members.
5. You may trade in an old plot for 75% of its initial price as credit for a more expensive plot.

Industrial

1. Griefing=ban.
2. There is no height/depth limit. Go as high and low as you want, but DO NOT build or dig outside of your plot.
3. Plots are combineable.

Prebuilt

1. Griefing=ban.
2. You may make minor modifications to the house, such as moving windows or adding interior walls. You can do almost anything you want except significantly alter the outside appearance. And even though you own the plot, destroying everything inside is still griefing the town.
3. You may not dig below your house.
4. Plots are not combineable.

Neighborhood Leader Information

Spoiler

Neighborhood leaders are like demi-comayors. They are appointed by the mayor to head and speak for a neighborhood once 75% of the plots are occupied. They can add and remove members. They are allowed to sell plots in their neighborhoods. When something comes up, such as grief or selling back a plot to the town, town members are to go to their Leader first. If it is urgent, the mayor is always available when online.
_
Leaders have their own office in their neighborhoods. When a Leader sells/refunds a plot, it is considered done by that "office." Leaders inherit sold plots from previous Leaders. (It'll make sense in a second... maybe)
_
When a plot is sold back to the town, the office that pays the refund will be the same office that sold the plot to the player, even if it is a different Leader. If the seller is not online, any office may make the refund and be reimbursed later.
_
Leaders must pay a 30% fee to the mayor on whatever revenue they make from plot sales/taxes. However, there is also a 30% reimbursement for town refunds.
