City of BugsVille
Municipal Code
of Conduct
Bureau of Civic Order & Community Standards
“Play fair, be respectful, and keep BugsVille a place worth calling home.”
The Bureau of Civic Order has issued the following ordinances to ensure BugsVille remains a city worth living in. Compliance is expected. Enthusiasm is optional but encouraged.
City Ordinances
Ratified by the BugsVille City Council — effective immediately and until further notice
Ordinance §1
Anti-Spam Decree
Pinging staff or fellow citizens repeatedly constitutes a municipal nuisance. If it can wait, it can wait. For urgent matters, file a ticket with the appropriate department — that’s what the paperwork is for.
Ordinance §2
Mutual Respect Act
Hate speech, harassment, slurs, and targeted hostility are grounds for immediate deportation proceedings. The city encourages humor — it does not encourage being a jerk. There’s a difference. You know which one you are.
Ordinance §3
Promotional Licensing Requirement
All external promotions — servers, projects, videos, side hustles — require prior clearance from the Overwatch Team. Unlicensed advertising will be treated as municipal littering.
Ordinance §4
Public Disturbance Prevention
Arguments, personal grievances, and interpersonal disputes shall be conducted in private channels or DMs. Public channels are designated chill zones. The city does not provide popcorn for spectators.
Ordinance §5
Decency & Content Standards
No NSFW, illegal, or shock content — in Discord, in-game liveries, or anywhere within city limits. The Department of Public Decency reviews all complaints personally and does not enjoy it.
Ordinance §6
Respect for Municipal Authority
When a moderator issues a directive, the appropriate response is compliance — not a public debate. Overwatch isn’t perfect, but they’re the government you’ve got. Appeals can be filed through proper channels.
Ordinance §7
Contraband & Unauthorized Modifications
No modded vehicles, visual modifications, automation scripts, or external tools of any kind are permitted within BugsVille city limits. All vehicles and equipment must remain factory stock. The Motor Division conducts random inspections.
Ordinance §8
Official Language Policy
English is the designated language of all public municipal channels. Regional and alternative-language conversations are welcome in DMs or designated side channels. The city’s translators are on permanent vacation.
Ordinance §9
Voice Channel Noise Abatement
Soundboards at full volume, sustained screaming, and unsolicited DJ sets constitute noise violations. Unless the entire room is into it — in which case, carry on. The city respects a good vibe when it hears one.
Ordinance §10
Impersonation of Government Officials
Posing as staff, developers, or municipal employees — or spreading fabricated government communications — is a serious offense. Identity fraud is not a personality trait.
Ordinance §11
The Vibe Preservation Act
If your behavior consistently generates citizen complaints, the Bureau of Civic Order reserves the right to intervene. Read the room. If you can’t find the room, ask a mod — they’ll point you to it.
Ordinance §12
Right to Opt Out
Every citizen has the right to disengage from any conversation, joke, or bit without explanation. "No" is a complete sentence, even in memes. The Bureau of Civic Order enforces this with great seriousness.
Ordinance §13
Municipal Neutrality Ordinance
Real-world political commentary, social activism, and culture-war rhetoric have no place within city limits. This includes company names, vehicle liveries, player names, slogans, and references to real-world political figures, movements, parties, or current events. BugsVille is built for trucks, deliveries, racing, and good vibes — not a campaign trail. This ordinance applies evenly across all viewpoints. Content that introduces politically or socially divisive messaging may be removed, and citizens may be asked to rename or modify offending content. The Bureau of Civic Order doesn’t care who you vote for — just don’t bring it here.
Ordinance §14
Citizen Wellbeing & Roleplay Boundaries
Roleplay is the lifeblood of BugsVille, but certain real-world topics are off-limits in all RP scenarios. Suicide, self-harm, domestic abuse, sexual assault, and similarly distressing themes must not be incorporated into violations, court cases, dispatch calls, or any other roleplay interaction. This city runs on good vibes — not trauma. If you’re unsure whether a scenario crosses the line, it probably does. The Bureau of Civic Order takes citizen wellbeing seriously.
Ordinance §15
Overwatch Supremacy Clause
Overwatch has final say on all matters within city limits — full stop. Do not attempt to circumvent their rulings by lobbying the Mayor’s office, sliding into City Hall DMs, or sending a strongly-worded letter to the top floor. The Mayor has better things to do (mostly golf). If Overwatch made the call, that’s the call. Disagreements can be filed through proper ticket channels, where they will be reviewed with the gravity they deserve.
Ordinance §16
High-Value Asset Protection Act
BugsVille’s high-value assets are municipal property. Transferring high-value items from BugsVille to another server will result in a permanent ban — no exceptions. Additionally, certain community-built assets (such as the Terra) require proof of contribution before purchase. Attempting to buy a Terra without having contributed to its construction may result in a temporary ban. The Bureau of Commerce keeps receipts.
End of Municipal Code. These ordinances aren't about heavy-handed governance — they're about keeping BugsVille a place people actually want to be. When in doubt, consult Overwatch. They've read the whole handbook. Probably.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Executive directive from the Office of the Mayor
BugsVille's systems — violations, court, dispatch, kudos, citizen ratings, and everything else — exist for roleplay and fun. If you don't want to participate, that's completely fine. Nobody is required to engage with any of it.
But if you abuse or spam these systems, or if you are banned from the game server, you will be permanently removed from everything — the server, the website, Discord, all of it. No warnings, no second chances, no appeals.
This is non-negotiable. We built these systems for the community to enjoy, and we will protect them accordingly. Abuse them and you're out — permanently, without recourse.
