Multiplayer

NOTE: Multiplayer, in it's current state, has little to do with the rest of the project. Right now, we're not entirely happy with it. In the future, it will be adjusted to align more closely with the rest of the project.

Connecting

To connect to the server, you must log in with a Discord account. You aren't required to join our Discord server though.
You can only connect with the latest stable or prerelease build of the game.

You can connect to the server with the /connect command.
You can disconnect from the server with the /disconnect command.
More information on how to use commands may be found here.

Only the most recent Giftscop build may connect to multiplayer. The most recent build may be found here.
There are not multiple servers.

Rules

When you play on our multiplayer server, you must follow the rules, otherwise you will be risking a permanent ban.

The multiplayer server operates under rules which are similar to those in our Discord server. The multiplayer rules are as follows:

1. Be respectful; Don't be rude, mean, exclusionary, or discriminatory.
• Discrimination towards things such as race, gender (+identities), sexuality, etc. is NOT tolerated.
• Slurs are NOT tolerated (from anyone, no exceptions).
• Be patient if the server is full: Don't ask people to leave in order to make room.
2. Keep discussion appropriate; No adult content, inflammatory/controversial chatting or advertising.
• NSFW is NOT allowed (sexual content, heavy gore) - you will be banned. Includes custom spritesheets.
• Do not pressure people into sharing personal information.
3. No impersonation; Do not pretend to be anyone else.
4. No spamming; Keep things in single messages within chat, don't be bothersome, don't spam needles piano inputs.
5. No brigading; Do not target people, groups, etc. or bring drama into Multiplayer.
6. Follow the Discord ToS; Since Multiplayer requires a Discord account, we expect you to follow its Terms of Service.
• A noteworthy detail about Discord's ToS is that users must be at least 13 years of age.
• Discord requires server operators to enforce this aggressively for legal reasons -- accounts will be banned even for joking about being underage.
7. No advertising; Do not use multiplayer to direct people to join a separate Discord server, or anything similar.

• Rules apply to all forms of ingame communication, and custom characters.
• Do not attempt to find loopholes - this will be treated as an admission of intentionally violating rules.
• Attempting to evade a ban will result in the new account being permanently banned, and will revoke any possibility of ever appealing the previous ban.
• Breaking the rules "as a joke" is still punishable. If you break a rule as a joke, expect to be banned as a joke.
• There is no tolerance for breaking major rules within the server.
• Even if no staff are online at the time a rule is broken, you may still be banned after the fact. Staff may view chat logs.

Moderators can kick or ban players from multiplayer who violate these rules.
If you see a problem in multiplayer, you can join our Discord server to report it.

If you've used a custom sheet in multiplayer, but no longer have access to it, you can download every sheet you've uploaded on multiplayer HERE (requires authorization).
NOTE: This only works for original sheets which you uploaded before anyone else. If someone else uploaded the sheet before you did, it won't be included here.

User Data

This section lists the data we store on our systems when you access Multiplayer, and how they are used. Those are:

• The Discord ID and username of the account used for authorization, and a hardware identifier
• Used for user identification.
• All messages sent through text chat or P2 to Talk
• Stored indefinitely for moderation purposes.
• All custom spritesheets used while connected, their filenames, and who first uploaded them
• Stored indefinitely for caching (so they don't need to be uploaded each time they are reused).
• If a sheet is removed for a content violation, a hash of its contents will remain to prevent future uploads.
