The BlackDog Rules

Have fun

Please enjoy your time here.

Behave respectfully

Exercise common courtesy. Among other things, that means no trolls.
No griefing, directly or indirectly. Unless you have permission from the owner of a player-constructed game feature, leave it alone.

Behave ethically

Exercise your own skills, not hacks. Exploits are unethical, and will lead to sanctions. Examples include:
- client-side farming or mining machines
- flight and speed boosters
- gamma/brightness boosters, night vision
- radar, x-ray, or other ore finders
Non-AFK farming and mining machines, built in-game, are encouraged. Show your creativity. However, any machine that creates excessive lag will be removed.
We use software to detect and block exploits, but in the end it's really up to you to do the right thing.
We encourage you to report suspected exploits. We will investigate and take appropriate action.

Exercise common sense

If you think anything you're about to do might be against the rules, don't do it.
If you think we would consider it wrong, don't do it.
If you're not sure, ask an admin or op.

Help

Ask questions in chat. Admin and ops and other players will answer as they can.
Use the /ticket system in-game to report issues or bugs, or ask questions. Staff will respond to open tickets as quickly as possible.

BlackDog respects your privacy. Our own software captures no personally-identifying information about our players. Having said that, the Minecraft server logs contain player IP addresses which are linked to player userids. The logs also contain operational information that is useful to us for game-play issue resolution and debugging. These data are accessible only to our computer operations staff. The data are not accessible to other players or to in-game admins or ops.

Server logs are deleted on a rotating basis, after seven days. So IP data in server logs are retained for no more than seven days.

The logs are also included in server backups. Server backups are deleted on a rotating basis, after two days. So IP data in server logs contained in backups are retained for no more than two additional days, for a total of nine days.

THE CITY is a HARD SURVIVAL world, a procedurally-generated cityscape designed by DaddyChurchill. You will see black dogs, black chickens, cows, horses, pigs, rabbits, and some black-and-white horses and rabbits. In daytime, explore the world, gather resources, and build a suitable home to wait out the nights. Hostile mobs attack when it's dark, so stay inside, or be armed and ready to fight.

Access is by invitation only. Ask an admin for an invitation, when you have acquired 25000 bonus points.

Protected zones

The spawn area is a small safe zone. Players cannot build in the safe zone, and hostile mobs cannot spawn there. The dogs will take care of hostile mobs that wander in. The safe zone is surrounded by a larger buffer zone. Players cannot build in the buffer zone, but mobs can spawn and attack there. Outside the buffer zone is wilderness. Pretty much anything goes out there.

Home

Outside the protected zones, you can make a land claim anywhere you like as your home. Use the claim-marker tool to define your claim. Use the navigation menu red bed to mark your home, and the pink bed to return to it.

Hunger and hydration

As in any survival environment, you will become hungry and thirsty as you expend energy. Running and fighting increase the level of energy expenditure. Eat occasionally to maintain health. Hydration (thirst) is displayed in the tablist; 100 is full hydration. Drink water, or wade in water when you get thirsty.

Special features

There are a few pre-built special features in THE CITY.

The buildings and infrastructure are procedurally (and randomly) generated.
You will encounter random inhabitants of the world (villagers). Some of them have special qualities and clues to mysteries. It's random.
Chests with random contents are scattered throughout the world. Find them in buildings, underground; really everywhere.
Visit BlackDog headquarters, the highrise east of the park. The building is a protected area.
Visit Chez Hélène, a restaurant on the first floor of BlackDog headquarters. You can buy food there. The menu changes occasionally. The restaurant is a protected area.
Try the maze, across the street from the spawn area. The maze is a protected safe zone.
The Nether and The End are different in CityWorld, based on DaddyChurchill's building technologies.
