Why is theft and insiding allowed?
Our consensus has been to allow theft and insiding, since we provide players with various protection systems like Towny permissions and locks to help keep their items and town areas safe. If a player breaks rules while conducting these activities, they're allowed to be reported for investigation and any unfairly taken items will be returned. However, we also embrace the element of geopolitical tension and player trust mattering, where alliances can be tested and betrayal becomes a part of the gameplay experience. So even in the safety of towns, there's a little bit to keep the players on their toes.
