The Warden must not make his speech hard to understand. Defined as;
The Warden must speak with a clear voice.
The Warden must not speak extremely fast on purpose.
It is the Warden's responsibility to make sure his microphone does not make it impossible to understand him. If it does and he kills a prisoner that couldn't understand his orders, he could be punished.
The Warden may not try to trick prisoners through speech alterations. (by altering the way words sound (were/where/we're/diamond says/etc.), mumbling on purpose, talking too fast on purpose, etc.)
The Warden may not try to trick prisoners by giving orders that could have two meanings.
For example; "All prisoners jump when I say the magic word go." Should they jump when the warden says "the magic word go" or when he says "go"?
Guards and prisoners may not try to trick other prisoners with orders. Only the warden can.
Guards must obey the Warden.
The Warden must be reasonable with the orders he gives to the guards and make sure they can participate. "Reasonable with the orders" is up to EVIP/Staff discretion but in general, means not intentionally excluding a guard from the gameplay. (Making them stay in a room the whole round, making them go against the wall and face it for the whole round, etc.)
Excepted: guards can refuse to follow an order that will inevitably kill them.
Excepted: guards can refuse to participate in the Warden's current game if the game may result in their death.

F1 > Glossary.

Luck-based games may not result in the death of more than half the prisoners participating in that game.
Expected: Accidents can happen. But doing it on purpose can result in punishment.
The Warden may not arrange a game in a way that it will intentionally kill over 3/4th of the prisoners left alive with a single "order".
e.g; at the very beginning of the round, "first prisoner to type 2 is the only one not to die".
This rule is not applied to situations where the majority of the prisoners happen to lose or get tricked at a game that didn't necessarily intend to kill them all.
Games where the amount of health or speed a player has (buffs for instance) at the beginning of the game could affect the outcome of the game can not be played if one of the participants has more health or speed than others. For example, races with a prisoner that has a speed buff.
Favoritism towards certain prisoners is forbidden. Favoritism defined as;
Giving certain prisoners more chances of winning.
Giving certain prisoners less chances of winning.

Expected: This is unless a special day has been used
This includes a "free period", "hide and seek", "zombie" day or any event of the sort where the prisoners will very probably end up escaping, getting guns and the whole day ends up as a warday where the guards fight the prisoners. If you do give a game like that and the prisoners do end up getting guns and killing all the guards, you will be punished. If you can not make 100% sure the prisoners won't escape, do not make them play a game like that.
The first non-warmup round of every new map change may be made a freeday/warday or any other "day" by the warden. Other rules still apply. This is the only exception. Long live the tradition.
First Reaction/Last Reaction/Simon Says/etc. can't purposely kill more than 1/2 of the prisoners in a single day
Expected: If less than 1 minute remains (Doing this purposely will result in punishment)
If the Warden dies, the rest of the round is a freeday.
If the cell doors are opened before a valid order is given to the prisoners by the Warden, the rest of the round is a freeday.
The prisoners must be let out of the cells by 6:30. Once the prisoners are out, they can not be returned to the cells.
Being left in your cells past this time results in a freeday.

Asking them to stop blocking a passage.
Asking them to freeze for 10 seconds for a weapon check.
The Warden may not restrict typing in chat.

Guards/Warden may not cheat during last request.
Healing during a last request is forbidden if it gives either player an advantage in the current last request.
Guards may refuse to participate in a custom last request if it gives them no chance at all to win the last request. (e.g; all guards suicide)
Guards and the Warden may not interfere in a last request they are not part of unless the prisoner is a rebel, then they may kill him. For example;
Blocking/bumping/distracting the participants.
Generally disrupting the area the participants are last requesting in.
Giving orders to the prisoner that has earned his last request.
Prisoners may not try to pick a new last request if they lose against the last guard alive.
During and after Gun Toss, the prisoner must throw first and decides the throw spot and direction. He must share the throw spot and direction upon request from any guard alive. Once both throws are completed, it is forbidden to lie about who threw the farthest and won. Losing guards must suicide immediately. Losing prisoners may suicide or rebel.
No one is obliged to do any variant of the gun toss such as "360", "no jumping", "no throwing", etc. Running, jumping and throwing from the same spot the prisoner threw or jumped from before landing is sufficient.
Prisoners may not pick a location that is difficult to reach to throw from. (e.g; in a bhop course)
