**BandidosRP** is a collaborative storytelling server built around immersive roleplay and mutual respect. While rules provide structure, **all rules, policies, and enforcement procedures may be modified at the discretion of staff** through established internal procedures. Staff will always prioritize **intent and spirit over strict interpretation**. Actions taken to deliberately undermine rules—even if technically within the letter—may result in disciplinary action. **Changes to rules or policies** will be announced through official channels, primarily the **BandidosRP Community Discord**. Staff will make every reasonable effort to inform and guide the community when updates are made. All players must follow the terms and guidelines of the platforms we use: - [Twitch Terms of Service](https://www.twitch.tv/p/en/legal/terms-of-service/) - [Twitch Community Guidelines](https://safety.twitch.tv/s/article/Community-Guidelines?language=en_US) - [Discord Terms of Service](https://discord.com/terms/) ## Prohibited Behavior The following actions are strictly forbidden, whether in voice, text, or roleplay: - **Racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, hate speech**, or any other **derogatory, abusive, or inflammatory language** - **Harassment or personal attacks** against other community members (outside of consensual roleplay) - Any behavior that reasonably makes others feel **unsafe, excluded, or targeted** ## Setting Expectations **BandidosRP** is set in an alternate universe version of the American West in 1890. Players find themselves in a newly formed territory known as **Horizon** — a land free from the conflicts and injustices of the Old World. While the surrounding world reflects real-world 19th-century America, **Horizon** has no history of slavery or systemic oppression**, and such themes **must not be included in roleplay**—especially in a derogatory or harmful context. Conflicts in BandidosRP should be driven by **power, control, and ambition**, not prejudice. --- This community thrives when players **respect one another**, **collaborate creatively**, and bring the world of **BandidosRP** to life through **professional and thoughtful storytelling**.
