A Group for a More Civilized Rust

Modus Operandi

As a group, RST-NR aims to gently dominate any server its members happen to join. We will act as the stewards of the server and build a peaceful republic of Rust players. We will oversee the server(s) both by sheer numbers and the skill of our members. We will follow the steps in the creation of our nation and keep to the divisions of labor and code of ethics.

The Steps

1. When we first join a server, as a group our entire focus will be on resource gathering and building. We will not engage in combat with other groups and only do so defensively when absolutely necessary. We will gather and build relentlessly, ignoring all setbacks until we have a firm and entirely protected resource power-base. We will not engage in petty skirmishes at this point, for it will only serve to diminish our resource power base. We will also explore all of the procedurally generated land at this point

2. Once we have established our capital / base of operations, we will focus on expansion and domination. At this point, our strategy will be more offensive but not unnecessarily brutal. Our soldiers will scout out the land together or in large squads. Any group we encounter or base will be given a choice, they must pay us a tax and become a vassal or face the possibility of being raided. All vassals gain our protection from non-vassal states and along with paying tribute can benefit from our resources.

3. Step 3, KINGDOM. Once we have surveyed the land and dominated any formidable opposing forces, our next step is stewardship and continual development. Here we manage the conflicts between the vassal states of our nation. We allow in state fighting, yet make sure that the fighting between bases is organized. We continue to build towns and gather resources as well as look out for any opposing forces.

Divisions of Labor:

Commanders/ Organizers:

Commanders and organizers lead others and develop strategy. They are not above anyone else or better than any other group members, it is simply their responsibility to maintain the integrity and order of the group.

Soldiers:

Soldiers are the group members that are selected for their combat abilities. They are the best shots and field strategists of the group. They are essential for defense. Soldiers may also establish hamlets (small communities) that hold some of our resources and hire mercenaries from vassal states.

Miners/ farmers/ Gatherers:
Gatherers are the bedrock of our nation. Combat wise, their orientation is purely defensive. In the beginning we are all gatherers. Gatherers collect resources constantly and assist in the construction of our bases.
