Common sense applies to all rules and trying to find loopholes or grey areas will lead to punishment

Rules for Combat
- THERE IS NO BODY DOWN RULE! We have a body tether rule. During a fight if a body drops you may continue the fight until one party leaves the area of the body. DO NOT move away from where your bodies are. You may defend your body if anyone comes in the range of the body you have or tries to eat from bodies that are yours.
- If you kill member(s) of a pack that is hunting you, 4 calling does not mean that they need to stop
- You may not enter water or lava or use cliffs to avoid player confrontation or cause your body to be inedible to others. This includes bleeding out while swimming or purposefully drowning. Suchomimus and Baryonyx may sit or swim in the water but they may not enter the water if they are bleeding. If bitten in water, Suchos/Baryonyx do not have to leave the water. Water is still not a safe zone for Suchos or Baryonyx. if you are NOT a sucho/bary you MUST be fully visible if you decide to sit in water. You MUST leave the water if a player comes into the area.
- No interfering with active fights and people in active fights can not attack dinos who are not part of the initial battle. You may join a new group or herd at anytime, even during a fight, as long as you would not cause that group to be over-packing. (Pack mates that die during the fight would still be counted towards pack limits until the fight is over.)
- If no body is down, and the fight has ended, should one party be sitting, or has left the area, both parties become ‘fair game’. Even should one, or both parties be injured/bleeding
- After combat ends, you stay in the area at your own risk. This includes when healing off bleed or broken legs
- Carnivores are NOT allowed to mixpack with other carnivores of different species. THIS INCLUDES warning players not in your pack/herd of danger or giving out player locations in global
- Scavenger dinosaurs(Austroraptor and Herrera) may follow and stay with Tier 4 or higher or above dinosaurs but MAY NOT engage in fights or help the pack. This includes not being able to scout ahead for the tier 4+ they are following. Only ONE species of scavenger may follow the same tier 4+
Rules for Herbivore Aggression
- Herbivores may not attack unless provoked. Examples of provocation include entering ambush stance while facing herbivores, following herbivores, 3 calling herbivores, mock biting at herbivores, and/or coming into their immediate vicinity.
- Herbivores must give warning before initiating a fight. They may 3 call to warn the carnivore to leave. They must allow them time to 4 call and leave the area. If the carnivore fails to do so, the herbivore may attack.
- Herbivores may contest other herbivores for land. They may only contest for the major landmarks for herbivores. (Ex. Paradise, baybrook, lighthouse, etc.) The opposing herd must give a warning in global chat before they attack. You must 3 call multiple times and give the other herd a chance to 4 call and leave the area if they wish to forfeit the land. You cannot chase those that wish to forfeit the land. If you contest for an area you MUST stay in that area. You MAY NOT contest the same herd multiple times
- Herbivores do not have to allow another herbivore in their herd. They may 3 call to warn the other herbi to leave. They must allow them time to 4 call and leave the area or they may be attacked
- Herbivores are not allowed to corpse guard unless the body is near their nest or if the herd has been attacked twice by the same carnivore or pack
- If a carnivore or pack enters two engagements with the same herbivore or herd, the herd may fight them to the death. The herbivores do not have to stop the fight due to the carnivores having a body or leaving the area.
Rules for Bodies and Contesting
- If you a carnivore, YOU MUST STAY WITH THE BODIES OF WHAT YOU KILL even in self-defense. Once you kill a player, you cannot leave the body until you have finished eating, it has despawned, you are contested, OR if the body is inedible due to being in water or is otherwise unreachable
- When you 3 call to contest a body, if the other party 4 calls and is moving away you must let them leave. If you 4 call you must continue actively leaving the area around the body or they may attack you. This includes if you are bleeding or have a broken leg (ai and Pue corpses and Pue gore are NOT contestable bodies)
- If a body turns to gore you are no longer tethered to that body UNLESS it is an apex gore. If it is an apex gore you are still required to follow tether/contesting rules. No gore, besides apex gore, is contestable.
- You CANNOT ask someone to 3 call you off a body
- Scavenger dinosaurs CANNOT contest a body away from tier 4+ dinosaurs
- If your packmate(s) are in a fight, and you cannot reach them before they die, you must treat their dead body as a contestable body to re-engage the fight. (3 and 4 call rules still apply) You CANNOT run back to the same on-going fight after you died and rejoin the fight.
- The entire pack must stay with the body if you kill a player (even if you didn’t kill them but your pack did you must stay with the corpse)
- You must 3 call when entering the area to contest a body.
- You must 4 call and completely leave the area when contested to forfeit the body
- You are not allowed to share bodies. If there is a body you wish to eat from you must contest it (does not include scavengers)
Nesting Rules
- Non-Survival dinosaurs are only allowed to nest 1 hatchling in their entire lifetime and it must be male unless told otherwise(Herreras, Austros, and Baryonyx may nest freely)
- There are no nesting limits for survival dinosaurs, however when they become an adult, they count towards your herd/pack limit
