Neutral Play refers to the rules instated during pre-game (the period of time before the 16th player joins a given ship and the 
Mush are selected), the general idea of which is to ensure that both teams (Human and Mush) begin the journey on balanced terms.
Due to the blurriness of the concept, the severity and resulting punishment of a rule violation are decided upon by the SDF judges on a case-to-case basis, and there is no exhaustive list of sanctionable offenses.
Before the game begins, players are expected not to stack the deck unfairly against either side of the upcoming conflict. It is very rare that ships take long enough to fill that this becomes an issue, but it's important to note that it is enforced by the SDF.
