 ===== BRAVE Alliance Rules =====
-<callout type="info">
+<lead>Brave makes every effort to keep its rules as straightforward as possible, so that we can provide an experience that's easygoing and fun for all our members. Every rule here exists as either part of our Core Tenets, or out of necessity.</lead>
-==== Brave Collective Rules ====
+<grid><col md="4">
+{{INLINETOC 3-4}}
+</col></grid>
+==== Core Rules ====
+<lead>These rules represent the standards that define us as members of Brave. Those who have an interest in law may recognize the phrase //Malum in se// ; //Wrong in itself//.</lead>
+<well>
+=== (§1) Stay Classy ===
 -----
-=== §1 - Stay Classy ===
-**Staying Classy can be broadly thought of as "not doing something which would get you punched by your mate at a pub." For social disputes, this is the standard that will be applied.**
-The Brave Collective does not permit discrimination or harassment by any user of our alliance-level services. Political discussion which unfortunately spawns this type of behavior is not welcome on our services. \\
+<TEXT type="success">
-Pornographic, gore or similar content is also not welcome on our services.
+**"The model BNI pilot is a fearless, bloodthirsty savage in ship combat and a perfect gentleman in the chat window." — Matias Otero**
-Stay Classy also includes not gloating or mocking our vanquished foes, basically don't be a dick just because you won a fight.
+**Our first and most important rule, Stay Classy defines our conduct as members of Brave. You can learn more about what that means in the fine print below.**
+</TEXT>
-=== §2 - Do Not Shoot Blues ===
+-----
-Members of the Brave Collective are not allowed to shoot blues without their consent. In cases where you are being shot at without your consent (if there is any way of getting out without shooting back, pick that way) report the person who shot at you to our [[public:alliance:diplomacy:start|diplo team]].
-=== §3 - Scams and Ransoms ===
+**Source:** Brave Collective
-Scams of non-blues are fine, but recruiting scams are strictly prohibited.
-All ransoms must be honored if the demands are met.
+**The Fine Print:** <btn size="xs" type="primary" modal="stay-classy">Click Here</btn>
-=== §4 - Market PVP ===
+**Additional Reading:** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Bravenewbies/comments/1c2vw4/on_the_subject_of_manners_and_other_thoughts/|The Reddit Post Where It All Began]]
-Please read [[public:alliance:industry:marketrules|this article]] for a clarification about rules for the markets.
-=== §5 - Looting and MTUs ===
+</well>
-All NPC wrecks in Cosmic Anomalies and Signatures belong to the player running the site. If you are running/mining anomalies as group, the loot is free for all.
-Loot from player controlled ships belongs to whoever is the first to grab it.  However if someone has put in the effort to get you and other people a shiny kill and they die or sacrifice in the process, sharing the enemy's loot or at the least giving them their dropped loot back, or giving new and struggling players priority on loot would be the classy thing to do, this isn't hard to work out, don't be a dick, look after and help your alliance mates.
+<modal size="lg" id="stay-classy" title="Stay Classy - The Fine Print">
-**The exception to this is capital loot from friendly capitals. Please send this back to the victim, or if you're not sure who the owner was, please contract to ''Brave Holdings'' (the Corp).** If it's a stratop or our cap fleet kills something - you'd be helping us out enormously to contract the hostile loot to ''Shattered Armer'', who will use the loot to help fund SRP.
+== A Deeper Explanation ==
-Brave MTUs are free to be shot //during fleet ops//. Brave members are expressively allowed to loot the field however. Orphaned MTUs in unfinished anomalies or belts in our systems are free to be shot if attempts to contact the owner have failed (give them a few minutes in case they DC'd).
+Staying classy means remaining civil even in the face of hostility, calm even in the face of destruction, and humble in victory.
-=== §6 - Bubbles ===
+These principles should guide your conduct whenever you are acting as a member of Brave; whether on our alliance services or in space, in public or private, talking to friend or foe.
-**Blue Bubbles are free to shoot if they are unattended.
-**
-If you put up bubbles, take them down before going AFK or logging off, if a blue ship dies in your unattended bubble, you will have to srp it because that's the classy thing to do.  Keep it classy! If your bubble is abandoned it can be shot and destroyed by blues.
-Do not anchor bubbles on gates in GE- or any to GE- leading gates except for V-3 GE- gate.  The V-3 GE- gate is a high traffic gate so remind yourself that if a blue ship dies in an unattended bubble you deployed you're expected to take personal responsibility and compensate the newbro who lost their stuff.  If there's a dispute about this, bring to HR for resolution.  If you anchor a bubble here, announce it in Catch Standing Fleet as well as Int.Catch so folks can be aware a camp has gone up.
+== On Discrimination and Harassment ==
-Guide:
+Brave does not permit discrimination or harassment of any kind by any user of our alliance-level services.
-  *    Be reasonable with it
+== On Social Disputes ==
-  *    Anchor a mobile jump drive unit so blues can get OUT.  If you can't scram the bad guy, you can't hold the bubble, let them MJD away if they get there.  This is a service for blues who get stuck.
-  *    Never. EVER. On the gate.  Always at least 100 off in a catch or drag deployment.
-  * Post an update in Int.Catch and Catch Standing Fleet that a V-3 bubble is up.
-  *    Leave the bubble? NO! BAD NEWBIE! Take it down!
-=== §7 - Capital ships ===
+Staying Classy can be broadly thought of as showing more grace, patience, and understanding to one another than you would to random strangers on the Internet. This might mean having to do more work, but putting in the work of care makes this a community.
-== Yolocaps ==
-Dropping capitals outside of pinged stratops is permitted, however the following rules are employed by the Yolocaps sig in order to avoid causing unnecessary drama. Read and be aware if those rules, located [[member:alliance:military:capitals:yolo:start|here]]
-== Rorquals ==
+== On Banned Content ==
-You must ensure you meet the minimum skill requirements in order to Rorqual mine in Brave space, and be a member of the Rorqual sig. Find out more about this [[member:alliance:industry:rorquals:start|here.]]

+<modal size="lg" id="market" title="Market Policies - The Fine Print">
+== A Detailed Definition of Relisting at a Profit ==
+You may not buy up items from any Imperium market for the purpose of selling on another market. That includes other Imperium markets and Trade Hubs. You also may not buy up low-priced orders to put your existing orders at the top of the list, even if the items you bought were not directly relisted.
+This rule refers to action taken in Brave and Imperium markets via the 'Regional Market' window, and is directed specifically towards clearing market orders of available stock for the purpose of raising those items' prices. It also applies to the sale of supercapital ships.
+Contracts, firesales, trades, or any other private arrangements between individuals are, generally speaking, not covered by this rule. As such, it is strongly advised that you exercise discretion when dealing privately with anyone.
+== Supercapital Sales Policy ==
+Supercapitals may not be sold to or built for any non-Imperium player. **All** supercapital transactions must be conducted via the [[https://goonfleet.com/index.php/forum/218-super-s-mart/|Super S-Mart Forum]].
+Access to post on the Super S-Mart Forum may be gained by applying to the [[https://esi.goonfleet.com/Group/1332|[SIG] Supercapital Market Access]] group on the Imperium Auth site. To apply, you MUST have completed the full set of required skills for either TitanSwarm, or Fight Club, as well as one of the ships contained within. These plans can be found on the [[https://skills.apps.gnf.lt/|Imperium Skill Checker]].
+If you don't have the skills required to gain posting access, you can still sell ships by contacting one of our Brokers: **Yondu Quill**, **Locke Beulve**, or if they can't be reached **Jinx De'Caire**.
+== Capital Sales Policy ==
+Capitals may not be sold to neutrals or hostiles in any region that has at least one Imperium or ally controlled system. Capitals may not be sold in the regions of Kador, Kor-Azor, Khanid, Aridia, or Tash-Murkon. Freighters, Jump Freighters, and Rorquals are exempt from this rule.
+== Pricing Your Items ==
+**There are no set minimum or maximum price rules for listing items on the market.** With the exception of situations that rise to the level of scamming we do not enforce any sort of limitations on how you price your orders provided you follow the rest of the rules in this section.
