SECTION 1. GENERAL CONDUCT

Roleplay Etiquette

All residents must adhere to the Gorean theme at all times while within the sim. This includes appropriate attire, language, behavior, and general conduct.

Play Gor.

Respect for Others

All players and roleplay styles deserve respect.

Harassment, griefing, OOC attacks, metagaming, or abusive behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstance.

Community Participation

Residents are encouraged to take part in city events, gatherings, and roleplay scenes to help build and maintain the roleplay environment Port Talis strives for.

Doors & Lockpicking 

Understand that in Second Life, any door can be lockpicked whether you are inside or not. This cannot be controlled by the sim. IC consequences apply if lockpicking is used as part of RP.

SECTION 2 - RENTAL AGREEMENT

Payment Terms

Rent is due on a weekly basis. Payment must be made in full to maintain residency. Payments not received within 5 days of when it is due can result in eviction if prior arrangements with sim staff are not made. 

Rental Duration

The minimum rental period is one week. Continued residency is contingent on adherence to these and other sim rules. 

Refund Policy

Refunds will be permitted if requested and there is time left on a rental. Once refund has been given any items left will be returned and the rental will open for new renters.

Authority of Sim Management

Sim Owners and Management have the final word in all matters concerning

housing, rentals, and conduct. Non-compliance with rules or management decisions may result in eviction and/or removal from the sim.

Script Limits

Residents should use low-lag, low-script furnishings whenever possible.

Excessive script usage may result in requests to reduce load.

If you are using older furniture with pose balls, you MUST stop all pose ball animations before leaving the sim. This helps maintain performance for all residents.

Rule Changes

Sim Management reserves the right to update, amend, or expand these rules

as required. Residents will be notified of changes, but it is each resident’s

responsibility to remain informed.

Return of Prims & Lost Items

Port Talis is not responsible for any lost items if your objects

are returned due to:

• non-payment of rent

• eviction

• parcel reassignment

• rule violations

Returned items in SL can break or vanish. This is beyond our control.

Agreement to All Rules

By renting a house or shop in Port Talis, you automatically agree to

all Sim Rules and Rental Rules, whether you have read them or not.

Reading the rules is your responsibility— not the responsibility of Port Talis.

SECTION 3 - GENERAL RENTAL RULES

Group to Rez

You must have the MMD Estate Group to rez or rent. Obtain it from the Sim Bot or request it from Staff. If someone is rezzing items in your house ensure they are listed on your rental. 

Furnishings

Homes must remain Gorean appropriate. No modern décor, neon, electronics, or futuristic items. Furnishings should reflect your caste, status, and role.

Scripts and prims

No excessive scripts. Items that lag the region may be returned.

Prims must remain within parcel boundaries. Do not encroach on public walkways, docks, roads, or waterways.

Final notes

Rentals must appear lived-in. Vacant or empty homes may be reclaimed for active citizens.

Sub-renting is not allowed. Sharing your home with a non-citizen requires admin approval.

If absent for 10+ days, notify Staff or your home may be reclaimed.

The City may reclaim parcels for:

– rule violations

– abandoned rentals

– excessive lag

– OOC misuse of property
