The Olympus strives to be a center for free trade that is open to any and all willing to share her rules.

Weapons
Ranged Weapons
Ranged weapons are allowed in all areas of the Olympus. Ammunition is not. Ammunition will be stored at the security checkpoint in the Docking Bay if a person attempts to bring into the ship proper. A smuggling role may be tried in advance to sneak ammunition in at the risk of grievous bodily harm and/or confiscation of weapons. If this is not done in advance, it will be assumed that you are without ammunition.
Melee Weapons
Visible melee weapons will be peace-bonded with wax or plastic, and breaking the peace bond except in cases of demonstrated self-defense may lead to grievous bodily harm and/or confiscation of weapons. Hidden weapons, such as knives, will be stored at the security checkpoint in the Docking Bay. A smuggling role may be attempted in advance to sneak hidden weapons into the ship at the risk of grievous bodily harm and/or confiscation of weapons. If this is not done in advance, it will be assumed you are without hidden weapons regardless of their presence in the +inv.
Violations
Violations will generally be an eye for an eye with melee weapons, as well as confiscation of weapons. Smuggling in of melee weapons will have similar consequences, but is more likely to result in an upset security team with worse results for the offender. Repeat or serious offenders may be banned from future entry. Smuggling in ammunition and the use of ranged weapons will be dealt with violently, and will likely result in an extended hospital visit and confiscation of whatever we feel like. Bringing in hidden weapons or ranged ammunition without a smuggling roll will result in an OOC warning and an offer to repose, especially if one had not yet read this. Multiple offenses, or individuals who proceed regardless, will be killed. We have Killing Blow cards specifically for this purpose.
Security
Security will arm themselves as they see fit, with an emphasis on non-lethal ranged weapons and whatever melee weapons they decide to carry. They can hide weapons as they desire, and do not need to peace-bond melee weapons. Deadly force will not be tolerated except in situations where it is merited (ie another individual using deadly force, or a violation of smuggling in ammunition)
Violence
Brawls
Actions in self-defense are allowed. Individuals instigating brawls will be warned, and security reserves the right to beat them somewhat. Multiple offenders may be fined or banned from entry for a set period of time or permanently.
Melee Weapons
Melee weapons may be used in self-defense. It is advised to inform security immediately so as to avoid misunderstandings. Use of melee weapons not in self-defense may result in a combination of: bodily harm, confiscations, fines, and banning.
Ranged Weapons
Ranged weapons are not allowed to be used by anyone besides Olympus personnel. Violation of this may result anything up to and including player death. Extreme circumstances and dispensations may allow for their use in the future, but individuals will like be informed and armed at the time of that happening. Do not be caught using a gun without written, explicit permission - it will be very bad.
Contraband
Slaves
No slaves. Period. Slaves will be freed and slavers will regret showing up.
Drugs
Recreational drugs are allowed, but making a mess or being obnoxious will likely result in security intervening. Forcing drugs on an individual is not allowed, and will result in intervention by security.
Ammunition
Any and all ammunition brought into the Olympus must be in a form that cannot be immediately placed into a weapon. Failure to comply will result in forceful confiscation and other consequences (see above).
Psionics
Communication
Communication via psionics is allowed if no other forms of communication are easily available. Otherwise, it is frowned upon.
Other forms
Other forms of psionics are largely banned or looked down upon. As a general rule of thumb, do not use any psionics that are not necessary. If you do, try to avoid notice. They are allowed in self-defense. Malicious use of psionics may result in any punishment up to character death. Be forewarned, we are quite prejudiced against it.
