The Sever Rules Explained - ***Read this now***

[SniperNoSniping]

I want everyone to read this.

I don't care if you think you know the rulesn read these. I am sure some of you will go "Oh, I know the server rules I don't need to read this" Tough shit, do it anyway. I know some of you will go "Oh, wow I didn't know that" when done reading them.

A week from now if I see anyone telling someone else how a rule is enforced different from how you're about to read, I will ban you and you'll have to deal with Chick. We have noticed alot of mis-interpretation of the rules from the admins, how can we expect the people to play by the rules if we do not understand them fully either.
THIS IS THE LIST OF EXACTLY WHAT THE RULES MEAN, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.


1. DO NOT ATTACK UNCAPS WITH ATTACK AIRCRAFT! RUNWAY SCRAPING IS NOT ALLOWED!
This rule is pretty obvious. Under no circumstances can you attack the uncap base with an attack aircraft. Attack aircraft means Jets and the Attack Helicopters. Black hawks are not attack choppers. And you cannot attack Infantry or ground units that are attacking you if you're stealing their aircraft. It’s your fault they're shooting at you. DO NOT KILL THEM. Killing people with Black Hawks or the China transport chopper is legal.

2. DO NO ARTY UNCAPS!
Don’t drop artillery on the uncap base. For the China team that means no dropping it on the carrier. For USMC team that means no dropping it inside the fence that surrounds the China uncap.

3. NO AIR-TO-GROUND RAMMING IN THE UNCAP!
This means no bailing out of aircrafts and letting them crash into people in the uncap. It also means no staying in it and just ramming someone. THIS INCLUDES ALL AIRCRAFT! JETS, CHOPPERS AND TRANSPORT HELIOS, ALLAIRCRAFT!

4. UNCAP AA MAY BE ATTACKED - NO BOMBS!
You are allowed to shoot the AA in the uncap ONLY IF SOMEONE IS IN IT. This includes the Essex AA gun and the Stinger sites inside the China uncap. Some people blow up the Essex AA without someone in it. That is perfectly legal. Accidentally killing someone while they're climbing up the ladder to get on the carrier deck is also legal and the attacker should not be warned or kicked for it. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU DROP BOMBS TO TAKE OUT THE AA'S IN THE UNCAP!

5. GROUND VEHICLES, INFANTRY AND TRANSPORT CHOPPER MAY ATTACK UNCAPS AT ALL TIMES!
Pretty self explanatory. Transport choppers are Blackhawks and the china equivalent of the black hawk. It is legal if you're on china to get in a Blackhawk and rape the spawning USMC people. It is also legal to fly a Blackhawk over to the china side and take them out as they're spawning.

6. STEALING VEHICLES FROM UNCAP IS ALLOWED!
Self explanatory, with the exception of killing people in the uncap with that vehicle is not allowed.

7. NO AIR-TO-AIR RAMMING, EVEN IF YOU BAIL OUT FIRST!
Pretty self explanatory. If you're in an aircraft (Jet, Attack Chopper, Blackhawk) do not ram it or purposely crash it into other Aircraft.

8. AIRCRAFT MAY ONLY ATTACK BOATS AND TRANSPORT HELOS WHEN OTHER TEAM HAS AT LEAST ONE FLAG AFTER CAP OUT!!!
Here's where people get confused. When one side has all the flags, the opposing team with no flags are guaranteed safe passage from enemy aircraft if they're in a boat or black hawk until they step foot on the ground or land the chopper. Neutral (white) flags do not count and you can still not attack the blackhawks or boats. If you're in a Blackhawk and you're hovering over the ground/flag you're safe from being attacked by enemy aircraft. If you land the Blackhawk wether you're still in it or not you're free game and can be blown up. If you get fustrated, don’t land the Blackhawk just hover. The China equivalent of the Blackhawk also applies here. If USMC has all the flags and China is trying to get out in their transport helio you can’t shoot them down.

9. NO REDLINING OR GET KICKED, 2ND OFFENSE = BAN!
Redlining is when you're in a helio or a car or something and drive/fly yourself to the out of bounds marks on the flag and let the time run out for your co-pilot or passengers and it kills them. This is against the rules indefinitely.

10. CHOPPER-TO-CHOPPER PADRAPING IS NOT ALLOWED! JET-TO-CHOPPER IS ALLOWED!
You cannot kill a chopper sitting on the pad. Wether they've taken off or not. Wether there’s someone in it or not. If it’s on the pad, it’s safe. No TV missile, no hydro's, no nothing. Ground vehicles, Infantry and Jets can attack the chopper at any time.

If you've previously taken off and come back the the uncap for repairs as long as you're inside that 'repair zone' you're safe. 50 Meters and up is attackable.

11. FIRING TV MISSLES FROM THE PAD AT ANOTHER CHOPPER IS NOT ALLOWED!
You cannot lift half way off the pad and fire a TV missile at enemy choppers, if you're single seating or with two people in the chopper. It’s simply not allowed.

12. COMMANDERS MAY NOT FLY ATTACK AIRCRAFT!
Self explanatory, Wether they're doing their job or not, they cannot fly Attack Helios or Jets. They can however fly Blackhawks.

13. DO NOT DISRESPECT R|A MEMBERS OR ADMINS! NO WHINERZ!
I don’t need to explain this. This is common sense. But instigating a fight, or allowing one to go on is not allowed, you are the admin tell them to take it to the forums and end it. If they continue then follow normal warn, kick, ban procedures.

14. Macros are NOT ALLOWED! Turn them OFF!!!! HACKERZ WILL BE BANNED!

People caught using a macro will be banned from the server. People caught hacking will be banned as well. Not sure if you're using a macro? If you use a program that auto-clicks for you and you just have to hold the mouse button down once and it simulates you clicking a bunch of times, you're using a macro.

15. USING RACIST, FOUL OR DISRUPTIVE LANGUAGE IS AN IMMEDIATE BAN!
This is common sense. I don’t need to explain it.

::This server is First-Come-First-Serve. NO LINES! Do Not Tell Players to Get Out Of Vehicles!
This is common sense as well. There are no lines to get to vehicles. If you're waiting and someone steals it, do not TK them or force tk them. Get in something else and keep fighting. And DO NOT tell people to get out of your vehicle no matter how noobish they are. End of Story.


If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, and post in here. But these are the rules and this is how they're meant. Start explaining them this way or face the consequences.

If you cant remember the rules, do like Chick did and print them out and refer back to them later. Its not difficult guys.

Thank you Charles, I was trying to accomplish this with my cartoon, but fenix never finished it....LOL

As mentioned. This is how the rules are to be interpreted, and unless changed here does not apply. I do not want to hear excuses like "In that one post a while back" Tweeking of the interpretation to make the game more to your favor will no longer be tolerated. So learn them, read them or face the consequences of them.

very good tips!!

only one little problem with rules #10 and #11

Rule #10
it is still not very clear to me, once taken off even just a few meter then it is allowed to be killed?

Rule #11
what happened when the US team tries to cap Main entrance ( where the second chinese spawns) and the chopper is just sitting there empty and someone from the US jumps in and doesn't take off and is just spawn raping.
my scenario:
the US players is taking the advantage of not getting kill by anything but infy and armor, me coming from the uncap in a chopper see this, should i shoot or not?
please make it clear because what you have posted is what i already knew.

First, Very nice job charles/....


I also have a question, i believe it was fenix posted that empty choppers were allowed to be shot but if you killed some1 on the pad it was padrape, i always had played as any shooting the heli on the pad with an attack heli was padrape but stopped warning when he had posted that

Are we now changing back to no padraping helis when empty either again?

If so im cool with that

stop looking for loop-holes piki, if it is on the ground it is safe from choppers. There is no rule against spawn rapping so they are doing nothing wrong. The guys on the ground should try to prevent him from getting off the pad though, that is what I would do.

The reason why I included that was people bitch because people shoot TV missiles too close when someone is about to get in the chopper and it kills them and they cry pad rape. If we get rid of shooting it completely there wont be any problems.

People need to look this over and make sure they are used as our rule guide lines going forward. All previous debates and posts should no longer be referred to.

Also, 2 warnings before a kick had best be followed for most situations or peoples admin privs will be suspended.

Keeb.

how about something like this
" we dont warn/kick/ban by hearsay, if we dont see it, it might not happened"

people thinks because they complain about a player breaking the rules they should instantly be warn/kick/ban, and it is not like that.
