 === Why does it say the server is whitelisted? ===
 Occasionally we may need to enable a temporary whitelist to ensure games are able to run smoothly. We try to minimise these periods and will always aim to disable the whitelist as soon as possible. If you try to join and the server says it's whitelisted, we're sorry for the inconvenience and would ask you to try again another day. The whitelist is based on a regularly-updated list of active players; please note that we can't manually whitelist players, so please don't pester staff with requests.

 === How can I report rulebreaking? ===
 If you think someone's breaking the [https://coathar.com/rules rules], please use the in-game report command: '''/report [player] [reason]'''. If you can't give a player name, for example because you aren't sure which player is responsible, you can use '''?''' in place of the player name, for example /report ? flying golem. Before reporting, please take note of the following points:
-* Don't discuss the issue in chat or attempt to bait the player; just /report and move on. Calling out rulebreaking in chat is against the server rules.
+* Don't discuss the issue in chat or attempt to bait the player; just /report and move on. Calling out rulebreaking in chat is against the server rules because it makes issues harder for us to deal with.
 * Be as descriptive as possible, to help moderators deal with the issue quickly. For example, don't just write 'hacking' if you can be more descriptive.
 * Don't ask other people to report. We only require one report to investigate an issue, and reports based on hearsay create more work as they aren't reliable. Don't assume your report isn't being dealt with simply because the player's still in the game - sometimes it can take time to investigate an issue properly. Reporting alerts moderators even if they're not in the game.

 === Why is my hero toggle locked? ===
-Admins may sometimes lock players' hero toggle, preventing them from being selected as a hero, as punishment for certain bad behavior. The most common reason for this is being rude about other players who have been selected as hero - if you can't be respectful towards other players when it's their turn to be hero, you don't get a turn. Other punishments may apply alongside this depending on the situation.

The most common reason for this is being rude about other players who have been selected as hero - if you can't be respectful towards other players when it's their turn to be hero, you don't get a turn.

 If you have been hero locked, this will be shown in the DvZ options menu when trying to toggle hero opt-in. If the hero toggle option doesn't say it's locked, your hero is not locked. Remember that heroes are selected using random number generation each game, and this means that sometimes you will naturally go several games without being selected - this is ''not'' being hero locked.

+Cake is a fun item that is a holdover from back when dwarves needed to eat so they didn't starve and could sprint. Because eating is no longer required, cakes are no longer important to gameplay, although you can use them to restore a very small amount of health.

−	~~=== Why do my arrows fly in random directions? ===~~
−
−	Due to a Minecraft bug, sometimes an individual in game will have their arrows randomly fire in different directions than where they are aiming. Leaving the game and rejoining will fix this bug. Dwarves have unlimited relogs before plague and can relog once after plague, but should not relog to fix this during the plague as this will instantly kill them upon logging back in.

 === Why do I sometimes earn more monster mana? ===
-Monsters earn extra mana if they died to the plague, and also earn bonus mana while standing in a shrine region. Additionally, in small games (20 players or less) all monsters earn more mana. If more players join later so that the game is no longer considered small, this extra mana is disabled.
