The Faction Flag Rules
The general structure of a territory claim is as follows:
1. A player uses a flagpole, thereby beginning a claim attempt.
2. That player must stand their ground for a pre-determined set of
time.
3. At the end of the time period, if that player is still alive and
in the room then the claim attempt is a success and the flagpole changes
to display that player's faction's flag (or no flag at all for an unfactioned
player).
4. If that player dies, leaves the area, or loses possession of the
flag they are using to claim the pole, then the attempt is a failure.
A player who uses the flagpole object must satisfy the following conditions
(in sequence) to begin a claim attempt:
1. Must be a player.
2. Must not be a Bard/Guide.
3. Must be eligible to participate in the faction events. This
currently means 40+ hp.
4. Must follow a different faction from the flagpole's current status.
5. There must not be another attempt already in progress (an attempt
in progress will show up in the flagpole's description).
6. There must be a flagpole of the claimant faction (the person trying
to take the flagpoles faction) in an adjacent territory (where 'adjacent'
means one exit away).
7. The last claim attempt (whether it succeeded or failed) must not
have been too recent (where 'too recent' is currently set to a pre-determined
time).
8. There must be at least 20 users logged on.
9. The claimant must possess a flag of their faction's colors (unfactioned
players excepted).
10. There must be at least 5 players of the same faction as the claimant
in the room.
The players on the server are made aware when the following happens:
1. Claim attempt.
2. Claim success.
3. Claim failure:
· claimant killed.
· claimant left the room.
· claimant dropped the flag.
· claimant loses faction status.
