Terms of Service

General Behavior

Isle of Sagittari is a welcoming and inclusive game. Therefore, we aim to make this community a pleasant and comfortable place to be. Any kind of discrimination is strictly prohibited, and there is absolute zero tolerance towards bullying and excessive passive aggressive behavior. Violation of these terms of play may result in disciplinary action by the group.

The rules presented apply to admins as well. Be considerate and patient towards admins, as they are humans just as you, and work voluntarily to make Isle of Sagittari rolling forward smoothly.   

The above rules apply to the DeviantArt platform, as well as the associated member Discord server. Please be advised that we cannot monitor how our members or admins behave on other platforms, as well as their behavior outside of Isle of Sagittari.

If you have encountered inappropriate or foul behavior towards yourself by a game member or an admin, reach out to founder (RoutArt / Routahine) with proof. Please remember that reporting to the founder is for serious matters only.
Please don't send admins or founder Discord dm's or DeviantArt notes regarding game issues without permissions. Not all admins are comfortable with members reaching out to them personally. Please send a note to SagittariAdmin deviantart user instead. 

Please remember that this ARPG is meant to be a hobby and not taken too seriously. Don't let this ARPG influence your real life structure or your well-being. This reaches member behaviour towards staff as well, remember that this is a hobby and volunteer job for staff members as well, so don't purposefully make staffs work harder with your behaviour.

Discord DM's or other direct messages on other platform related to game businesses to our admins is prohibited. Always first and foremost note the group. You can however contact founder (Routa) in Discord dm's in cases of: some sort of emergency inside the group, concern towards staff member behavior, or otherwise sensitive or urgent issues.  

Your discord account needs to be at least 3 month old to be acceptable to join our discord server. 

Minimodding isn't allowed. Mini-modding, the act of pointing out rules and regulations as if you were part of the admin team when you are not. Also known as a rules lawyer in other games. It is over stepping the boundary between friendly helping based on readily available information and dictating how that information should be interpreted and followed. Example of this may include but not be limited to calling out members on incorrectly posting something before admins can even look at the situation. Or spreading information that goes against rulings of appointed admins. 

Game art & Game mechanics

Every ARPG is different in their own right. We have our own ways and systems and wish not to be compared to other groups systems and "standards". This is highly discouraged and generally not accepted. While comparisons happen all around us, be it in real life or online, we ask to keep it at a minimum in our server. Sagittari is an independent ARPG crafted by its founder and admins, however, it wants to grow on its own terms without much influence to other ARPGs and we do not strive to copy others.

Isle of Sagittari holds the rights for all the art and written text presented in the games platforms, be it commissioned, founder or admin made. Game graphics, such as import templates, are not allowed to be copied, traced, or posted anywhere without the founder's written permission.
Members are responsible for their personal art, their use, and rights, and hold the responsibility to follow all terms of service on each respective platform. Isle of Sagittari does not take responsibility for member's art that is not related to game play.

Please do not delete any comments in the group's threads or any personal ones that have been replied to by the admin account, unless you are fixing a piece for rolling. We need these comments for tracking and for communication purposes. If you do it once, you will receive a warning. If more instances happen, more serious steps will be taken. 

General maximum wait time in game processing queues is about 2 weeks. But this wait time might be crossed from time to time if some areas of the game have long queues, or staff is otherwise busy.

For an entry to be okay to be processed at any game queues, it must have been accepted into the correct DeviantArt group gallery first. 

Entry skipping system
To make staffmembers job bit easier and to keep queues from clogging, a working staffmember can skip an entry to move forward on the queue. Member will get a "On hold" comment if their entry is skipped to let them know. Most often these skips happen if the working staffmember wants for more opinions from other staff members. Staff has it's own discord channel for skipped works, so skipped entries won't be forgotten or ignored. Staff team reserves rights to not disclose reason why your entry was put on hold, but a reason may be provided if we deem it to be useful info for the member.

Designs

Designing your centaur as a copy, reference, or a lookalike to a copyrighted character is strictly prohibited. This includes game, comic, TV-series, movie, book, and anime characters. Copying another ARPG creature's design by another artist is strictly prohibited. You may, however, recreate an ARPG character design that you own.
As the admins cannot be aware of all mainstream media and arpg creatures of the world, some copies might get through. If copied design is pointed out later and evidence presented, proving the centaurs design was an intended copy, the owner of the design will get a warning.  

Real life religious symbols cannot be displayed in centaur designs. Not through markings or customizations. 

Warnings and penalties

Every case is evaluated individually. If a member breaks the terms of services in any way, they can receive a warning. 
After 3 warnings this member will receive a 12 month ban from the game. They will be removed from the official member discord server, and they cannot take part in the game in any way; their entries won't get rolled and requests will be denied. Banned member can still sell or donate their centaurs and get art made of them, but they won't be rolled for exp or benefits before the ban is lifted. 

Isle of Sagittaris member discord server has it's own rules to follow. If you fail to follow the rules there and behave improperly, same warning and ban rules comply there.
