CODE of CONDUCT

DISRESPECT

Intentional demeaning actions, words or typing to ANY player on the server will NOT be tolerated. 

 

There is a fine line between “Disrespect” and “Friendly Game Banter”.  We request every one exhibit some degree of tolerance and restraint concerning possible violations.  If you feel you have witnessed, or are the recipient of, intentional harassment, please contact an S.A..  If one is not available, note the time, what occurred and involved parties (include IP Address if possible) and report to an S.A. as soon as possible.

 

Punishment

Disrespect will result in “Kicking” the offending party for 1 day.  It is hoped this will provide a “Cooling Off” period and enforce the realization that “Disrespect” is NOT acceptable behavior.      

    

Continued occurrence

Will result in Banning the offending party.

 

CHEATING

On our Servers, ANYTHING that provides an unfair advantage over the majority of the other players is considered a “CHEAT”.  Obviously Sharking, Wall-Hacks & Aim-Bots are common cheats, but what about using a “glitch” in the map?  Even if the information about the “glitch” is available to all players, is it a cheat?  A “for instance” is the Axis side Pill Box that allows a player to fire through the wall but can’t be killed unless from behind.  It is UNETHICAL, but is it a Cheat? At present, by the above definition, it IS considered a “CHEAT.  However, when a player is first caught using a “GLITCH” in the software for unfair advantage, they will NOT be permanently BANNED.  They will be told it is considered a cheat and made aware of the consequences.  If they are caught a second time using any software “Glitches”, they will be permanently Banned from our servers.

 

If you suspect someone of Cheating, inform an S.A.  If one is not presently available, try to get their name and IP address.  A Screen Shot of the Cheater in action would prove very handy if you can get it. 

 

But lets all remember, there are some EXCELLENT players out there and it is all too easy to say “Hey, That guy must be cheating because I couldn’t kill him” or “because he keeps killing me”.  I’m also sure most of the members in our clan have been accused of Cheating simply because they are better players than those they were playing against.  The point is, NO ONE likes being accused of cheating, so let’s ALL make sure we don’t become the “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.

 

UNSPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVOUR

Basically any activity that could have been accomplished in war is considered acceptable with the exceptions of the afore mentioned items.  However, there are a few considered to be UNSPORTSMANLIKE.  Spawn-killing is probably the most despised aspect of the game next to the player that runs around with a grenade in their hand and blows themselves up along with one or more enemies.  Also certain aspects of Bashing are frowned upon (See additional explanations below).  

SPAWN-KILLING

While it is tactically advantageous to prevent your opponents re-entering the game, it IS considered in poor taste to annihilate them before they have the opportunity to defend themselves.  Consequently, there is a 3 second delay between the time of their spawn and the time they will suffer damage.  All players of the game would appreciate a “Fighting” chance, even you.

SUICIDE NADERS

I'm sure there were some instances where a soldier intentionally killed several of the enemy along with themselves, but I can guarantee it didn't happen very frequently.  As Gen, Patton is quoted as saying,  "Now I want you to remember that no ******* ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb ******* die for his country." (June, 1944)). 

Basically, running around with a nade in your hand in the hopes of finding a couple of the opposite team in NOT considered very imaginative.  In fact, it indicates  they are a poor player.  The use of a grenade to clear a room or  take out an embedded enemy is what they were designed for.  There are those that are VERY inventive in the use of grenades and to have such a person on your team is a definite plus.

 

BASHING

Bashing is definitely a part of fighting.  It was probably one of, in not the, first form of killing an enemy either by rock or club.  A player that knows how to bash is a asset to any team.  

However, bashing can also be considered the ultimate insult.  Especially where your enemy is in a defensive position and you have to go out of your way to sneak up on them to administer the bash.   Actually, that is kind of a dumb move, as the recipient of the intended bash have been known to turn and kill you.  I don't think anyone would take that kind of chance in real life.  At least not very often.
