Intro: Land claiming has always been a grey area in the past SMP's. People have gotten angry over certain clans claiming huge chunks of land from day 1, claiming land that they have done absolutely nothing with, and walling off land that ends up blank. We've revised these rules to make them set for the server, and not following them will result in opening the land and a possible warning.
To claim land, you must place a sign (or a few signs) down at the spot of the claim. The sign must have the following info;
1. Something denoting that the land is claimed.
2. Your in-game name and/or clan name
3. The date of the claim. Please signify what kind of dating you are using. Either Month/Day/Year, or Day/Month/Year.
4. (OPTIONAL) How big the claim will be, or any extra info about how much land you will use
The sign, or multiple signs you place down may look like this:
If you spot a land claim that has had nothing done with it for 2 weeks from the supplied date, you may destroy the sign and claim the land for yourself. Do not lie about the date, as the date is provable from Prism logs - and if you lie, you will not only lose the claim but will be definitely warned.
Also do not claim lots of land for the sake of doing it, or put signs everywhere to claim a ton of land. Make reasonable claims, nobody is going to move that close to you if they know you will be a big clan or will use the space, as there is a chance they will be murdered / forced to move. Chances are, the land will still be waiting for you, and you can always discuss it before anything is done with the land.
You are NOT allowed to claim a whole biome. Also, avoid terrain griefing biomes for the sake of resources. If you do take a lot of resources, please make an effort to make it look somewhat good.
You're free to remove the land claim sign once you've done something with the land, but keep it out or we won't be doing anything if the land is taken and you were the one who took down the sign, or never placed one in the first place.
If you have any questions, please do ask. Hopefully this new system will work out better than ones in the past!
