ground vehicles
at any time. This means no attacking UCB with TANKS, ARTY, APC or other
ground-based vehicles. ^
No excessive spawn camping. (Mass killing but not taking the flag, this
includes attacks on main
bases (UCB's) where the intent appears to be for killing spawners and
not for destroying vehicles ^)
No excessive intentional Teamkilling.
No excessive destroying Good team vehicles.
No excessive Vulgar or profane language.
No Chat Spamming.
No using any map glitch, game exploit, game hack or cheat.
No Team stacking, it is not tolerated, you must change teams when asked.#*
Clarification and explanation of the rules:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arguing about rules with an admin will get you nowhere but warned,
kicked
or banned.
Anyone using ASCII code in their name that interferes with normal game
or server
manager operations can be kicked/banned without warning.
You cannot drive a tank or any attack vehicle into a UCB and blast away,
that will
get you warned, then kicked if you stay. Just don't do it.
That includes the Airfield on all maps that have an airfield next to
the main UCB like
Bocage, El Al, Gazala, Guadalcanal, Khurkov and others. The reason
is because when
a player chooses to spawn at those UCB he can be spawned at the airfield.
If the airfield is connected to the UCB do not drive any tanks or artillery
into it.
That is the number One rule not to break, everything else is somewhat
tolerated.
You cannot sit inside or outside a UCB and shoot repeatedly as enemy
players
spawn just to kill for score. It does not matter by what ground vehicle,
it is not
allowed. That is spawn camping and will get you warned and then kicked.
Even if all
flags are taken you are not allowed to attack the UCBs with tanks,
arty or armor.*
Excessive spawn killing the bases is NOT ok.
If anyone complains of spawn killing you will be warned,
if you do not stop you will be kicked !!!
It is okay to steal vehicles or mine the enemy base vehicles but you
must leave the
UCB immediately after. No staying and shooting up the enemies’ tanks,
planes or troops.
If you steal a tank or any vehicle and shoot ANY enemy inside the UCB
while vehicle is
on the ground you can get kicked, do not shoot as you leave the UCB*.
You can fly over any UCB and bomb vehicles and AA guns.
Sniping into a UCB is allowed but only as a sniper/scout class.
Ships are NOT considered UCB's and you can attack them anyway you want.
You can sit on enemy ships and shoot or detpack anyone you can.
If you destroy AA in a UCB and kill the gunner while blowing the AA
you will not be kicked,
that is allowed by air anytime. You can also do it by tank, artillery
or on foot BUT do not
enter the UCB to kill others*.
Plane and vehicle camping (waiting for them to spawn) is allowed but
is heavily
discouraged, you will not be kicked for it.
You will not be kicked if anyone on your team drives over a mine OR
gets grenaded or
detpacked by accident. Try to avoid destroying your own team’s mines
and keep an eye
out for your team players in mini-map to avoid excessive teamkills.
If you get a -6 score you will be kicked automatically (see Auto-kick below)
Auto-Kick is set to -6 score, if you exceed that you will automatically
be kicked by
the server. You can rejoin the game after an Auto-kick.
If you shoot a few rounds into a Good team vehicle you will not be kicked
but if you
DESTROY ANY you may be kicked. If any player is caught shooting up
multiple team vehicles
they may be kicked for disruptive gameplay, specially if any teammates
die because of it*.
You can destroy a badly damaged team vehicle or AA so that they will
respawn
new and fixed.
Admins have full discretion on kicking for vulgar or offensive language.
A few swear words
are acceptable but as a player do not get carried away or else you
get warned and
then possibly kicked. All language problems will be warned first then
kicked*.
Chat spamming is when you repeatedly, and annoyingly, use the function
keys F1 – F7,
to send audible messages to your teammates. No one wants to hear “Requesting
a pick-up” over and over. Over and over means more than 3 times in
a row.
Chat spamming is a kickable offence and violators who chat spam can
expect to warned,
if they continue they will be kicked*. Misusing the in-game chat to
talk about non-game
related topics is also considered chat spamming.
The use of any map or game exploit (like hiding under floors, in walls,
in barrels, in spools, etc)
or any type of game hack or cheat can get you kicked or banned with
out warning if caught.
An admin can choose to ban on first offense for map glitching/cheating
*^.
The Auto-kick name list will kick for certain names. If anyone complains
about your game
name being offensive you may be kicked after warning.
Team Balance: Please keep teams balanced by either skill or by number.
In general try and
keep teams balanced within 2 or 3 players but if a team of 12 are crushing
a team of 16 then
no need to balance by number of course.
NOTE: It is best to always stay away from the enemy UCB (UnCappable
or UnCapturable Base)
if at all possible. These are labeled in the Map and Mini map as a
Flag with slashed circle
over it. Not all maps have them but most do.
#Added 8/3/04:
Visiting Clan members breaking the rules or not splitting up when asked
can
be kicked with least of warning. All clans should know better than
to not read the
rules or ask about them when they visit someone else’s servers ^.
