Hi and welcome to Equestrian Frontier!

This server offers quite a different experience from most other servers, and this guide will hopefully help you understand what ponies do around here.

There are no weapons or player versus player combat available. It is recommended to stay out of character (OOC) until understanding the guidelines for RP found further down this guide.
Disruption of roleplay is a severe offense, but staff will go easy on newcomers due to our rules being quite different from most other servers.


Stuck:

Type /stuck to attempt to unstuck yourself, if the spawn location is prop blocked you can type /spawn to go to a random one; do not use @ regarding being stuck.


Unique server features:

We have attempted to gather all the custom options of the gamemode in the context menu. The default bind to access this menu is C.

The mPlayer found in the context menu can be used for enjoying synced YouTube playback with friends. Mouse over the ? in the mPlayer for more info.

You can spawn a piano by going to Entities->Fun + Games->Playable piano. Please do not do this in the RP area unless you actually performing as a pianist in-character.

Type roll in console to roll a random number between 0 and 100.

You can spawn cars from the Spawn Menu like you would do in Sandbox.

Once you have 24 hours played on the server, you will automatically be promoted to rank of regular. This will increase how many props and vehicles you can spawn along with unlocking most of the tools.

You can see your energy in the lower left in the HUD. Spawning things such as vehicles and props costs energy. Claiming doors also costs energy. The more time you spend on the server, the more energy you'll have available for these actions.


Roleplay guidelines:

While roleplaying you are expected to stay in-character, and to interact with other players as such. However, there are no forced roleplays on this server unlike what you'd find on a DarkRP server, which leaves you free to get out of roleplays you do not wish to participate in. If another player acts in an unrealistic or immersive breaking manner, tag your local chat with -- to indicate it being OOC, or pm the player to inform them of this. If they do not leave you alone after you ask them to do so, do not hesitate to call a staff member using @.


Roleplay terms:

Metagaming is a term that describes when a roleplayer uses out of character knowledge in-character. Some examples of this would be knowing a character's name without them telling you in-character, "listening" to conversations through walls or using the list above chat to see who is near you without visually seeing them. Any kind of metagaming is strongly discouraged, as it will usually result in the other roleplayer not wanting to roleplay with you.

Godmodding/powerplaying describes the action of one roleplayer taking the control of another roleplayer's character. In most roleplays this is frowned upon and you should never do it unless you are absolutely certain the other roleplayer is okay with it. An example of this would be emoting "/me shoots you" which would imply an action that would assume the other character has no means to counter the action. The correct way of doing such an emote would be "/me aims their gun at you and pulls the trigger", leaving the other roleplayer with ways to counter it.
