- Fourth strike (50% spawner value decrease)
- Fifth strike (100% spawner value decrease)
Common Sense Rule:
- If you try to bypass the rules with small technicalities, you will most likely be punished. The rule broken is determined by the staff member and they have the last word.
- Any duping or use of serious glitches will result in automatic disqualification and disbanding.
- Using raid detectors/TNT detectors is prohibited and will result in a strike.
- Making alt factions in order to claim multiple FTop rewards is against the rules and will result in disqualification from FTOP rewards.
- ALT Factions or ALT accounts may not be used to evade any of these rules.
- You may not put ALT Accounts on your walls
- You are only allowed to merge factions if authorized by management.
- All FTop value is to be destroyed from the faction that is merging.
- If TNT gained illegally from the merging faction is used to raid a base/cannon a rollback may occur.
- If a faction has received a surplus amount of spawners from crates, they are allowed to take them with them, please ask a manager to validate this move.
- You are not allowed to hide value, all value must be placed when grace ends.
- You cannot claim many random chunks and place value in each of them in an attempt to spread out your f-top value all over the world. 85% of your faction wealth should be placed in one claimed base throughout the map. If you decide to change bases throughout the season, the previous base should be unclaimed.
- During SOTW a senior staff member (depending on the circumstances) may forcefully give a faction their rightful name if it's taken.
- A faction may only claim a single corner regardless of which world it is claimed in, extras will be removed and repeat offenses will result in the faction being punished.
- Bitch claiming is not allowed during the grace period.
- Useless claims will not be allowed during the entire map.
- For every blacklisted player in your faction or directly related to your faction, two faction strikes will be issued.

- When a player adds spawners or items to a base or faction claim they belong to the faction and not the player.
- When a faction raids a base all the spawners and wealth from the breached boxes belong to the faction. A faction member refusing to give to the faction will be considered insiding.
- The faction leader must reasonably decide whether a player is insiding before any action is taken.
- The senior staff team may consider other activities as insiding that are not listed here. As-well as deciding not to punish a player for taking very little wealth from a faction or having a reason to take it.
- Only actions done in-game can be considered insiding although evidence from discord or other places may be taken into consideration.
- If a faction is caught interfering with a raid or leeching a faction strike will be issued. A rollback may occur when necessary.
- If there is one or more unrelated faction members fighting/preventing you from raiding/defending the unrelated faction will be punished. The raid will be stopped and rolled back if a senior staff team determined that it had a significant impact and the unrelated faction was not teleported in by the raiding/defending faction.

- You cannot blow up any spawner(s) to hide value bypass mining cost or discourage the raiding faction.
