Server Rules - Jake1o - 11-21-2014
Welcome to Forerunner Gaming!
Before playing on our servers you must read and understand the rules below.
1.)NO META GAMING!
Meta gaming is any strategy, action or method used in a game going against the game objective. Meta gaming is most simply defined as helping an innocent as a T or helping a T as an innocent.
2.)DELAY IS A SLAY!
Letting the timer run out as a T can be considered delaying, if you are camping in a T room that will get you slain. If you are the last T it is up to you to try and make a move. Camping as an innocent is not delaying.
3.)NO RDM!
Killing someone based on suspicion, location, gun, player model, or any other questionable means are not allowed on this server ever. You must have proof! Logical killing is not RDM. (For example, there are 3 players left alive, 1 is proven, all others have been identified. It is logical for the last non-proven innocent to kill the last traitor being the only two “unproven” left.) If you see someone look at an unidentified body and ignore it you may kill them. However, if they simply walk near it and may not have specifically aimed at it you have to ask them to identify it before killing them.
4.)NO TRAITOR BAITING!
Shooting near someone, trying to prop kill, pushing someone near a ledge or any other dangerous area, hitting someone with your melee or doing anything else traitorous is considered traitor baiting. If you are proven and have acquired a traitor weapon you MUST state so in either text chat or voice chat. It is preferred you state so in both to avoid confusion but one or the other is fine. If you are killed for any of these reasons it IS NOT RDM. ATTEMPTED RDM is still punishable.
5.)NO SPAMMING!
This includes both text and voice chat, as well as anything on the map that can make global sounds, or annoy the hell out of people.
6.)BE RESPECTFUL!
Racism, childish arguing, sexism, and any other disrespect are NEVER okay. Names should not include curse words, terms that affect gameplay or any other inappropriate content. You will be asked to change your name and then kicked!
7.)NO FARMING/BOOSTING!
Such as, but not limited to:going AFK to collect end of round drops, or lengthen your time played on the servers. This is a permanent ban. This also applies to giving free kills for challenge scrolls/quests/dailies, etc.
This includes leeching in events. Leeching can be defined as (but not limited to) : Going AFK, dying intentionally, 'faking gameplay', etc, all with the intent of allowing teammates to do all of the work, so you can get loot with minimal effort. This should be a PER CASE basis, and drop bans will be the main source of punishment. Doing it often can lead to server bans, so DON'T DO IT!
8.)NO SELLING UN-TRADEABLE ITEMS!
This can apply to a lot of things, but mainly it applies to cases/crates. You are not allowed to ask for payment to use or open an untradeable item that the buyer is unable to obtain otherwise.
9.)DO NOT KILL AFKS!
Our AFK system or a staff member will take care of that. If you believe someone is farming please make a player complaint on the forums.
10.)CLAIMING IS ALLOWED DURING OVERTIME!
Claiming is allowed ONLY during overtime. You may claim single rooms and they must not be a crucial part of the map. You MUST claim in text chat AND voice chat IF a microphone is present.
You do not need to state 'open door = kos'. This is implied by the original claim.
11.)NO SCAMMING OR SHARKING!
Trying to persuade someone a trade is fair when it is not, trying to take advantage of newcomers, or anything else along these lines may lead to a ban or inventory wipe. This also applies to something like: Saying you'll give an item right back and running off with it is also scammed and will get you punished.
12.)NO EXPLOITING!
Getting under maps or in an area that is normally unreachable is not allowed! If you can see through a wall it is an exploit. Do not hack, glitch, or exploit in any way. This includes prop pushing, prop surfing to get to exploit spots, and door blocking. If you discover an exploit or bug please report it on our forums.
13.)NO GHOSTING!
Being in a third party program with friends is okay as long as you aren't affecting gameplay. This includes giving away player locations or saying who the traitors are. If you are caught ghosting you will be permanently banned.
14.)NO THIRD PARTY TRADING!
Trading items from our servers for IRL money or items outside the server is NOT supported OR allowed in any way, shape or form. Anything that happens in 3rd party trades is 100% on you, and we are not liable for any losses that may happen from it. Anyone caught promoting or doing 3rd party trading may be susceptible to punishments, at Brassx's Discretion.
15.)NO ADVERTISING!
This is a video game. We don't want to hear about your website or what kind of deals McDonalds is having for the day and certainly not about another TTT server.
16.)NO HARASSMENT!
Following someone every round just because you don't like them is annoying and not allowed. If someone is following you and you don't want them to be, you may use the 3 warning rule. The 3 warning rule is when you type in chat or say aloud, "Stop following me, warning 1." You must wait 5 seconds and then say, "Stop following me, warning 2." 5 more seconds and then, "Stop following me, final warning!" After 5 more seconds if that person is still following you, you are allowed to kill them. The 3 warning rule can also be used for door blocking, prop blocking or anything else that may restrict your movement.
17.)NO SERVER THREATS!
Threatening to hack, DDOS, crash, or put the server at risk in any way is an INSTANT permanent ban.
18.)SPECIAL RULES!
Detectives can only claim in overtime just like everyone else. Detectives have no special privileges on this server because they already have tons of cool gadgets to play with. NOBODY can force you to be tested or kill you if you refuse EVER. Some maps, such as whitehouse, have special items that are KOSable for playing with. We simply cannot list them all here so if a staff member warns you about something, LISTEN TO THEM. Turning off the lights in different maps is NEVER KOSable.
Detectives can NOT claim health stations or KOS people for using them.
19.)AVOID ARGUING WITH STAFF!
Always listen to staff members. They have been approved as a TRUSTED staff member for a reason. Not every rule is stated in the rules so always listen to the trusted staff member. If you believe they are telling you to do something that is wrong you are encouraged to make a player complaint on the forums.
20.)NAME MUST BE PRONOUNCEABLE!
A players name should be pronounceable. In addition, the first 3 characters of a players name MUST be type-able letters or numbers.
21.)Destroying health stations is traitorous!
You can only destroy health stations if the detectives are dead OR you have direct permission to do so. Destroying them without that can be considered traitorous.
22.)You must warn T buddies of any quick-actions* you may make that may endanger them!
*quick meaning anything that could kill/harm them within a few seconds. (Incens, remote bombs, jihads, discombobs, use your brains.)
THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO C4! There's a display for C4's on every traitors screen if one is placed. If they die to one, it's their fault. This is literally even stated in the base code of TTT. It disabled losing karma to T buddies that die from your C4.

"SPECIAL RULES! Detectives can only claim in overtime just like everyone else."
This should be more prominent, some members from NTG may not expect this. Good rule though.

They will learn. Theres a few other rules differences from NTG as well.
RE: Server Rules - Bottle4 - 11-21-2014
Hmm, maybe we should change the prop-surfing rule?
What if prop-surfing is NOT KOSable, but exploiting with it - getting out of the map, etc - will get you punished?
I'm on another server and there's a rule that partially allows prop-surfing - not to exit the map, getting to glitched spots, etc., but still able to climb on there. There's only one problem - this rule will most likely feature many zoning for forbidden zones & allowed - the roofs in cs_assault aren't an exploit place, BUT the cliff on Desperado is, and etc. On other maps - the twin towers on rooftops aren't an exploit zone, but cluedo's outside-fence area is, etc.
It's kind of a quirky rule, but also an interesting gameplay changer - like the detective rule!
RE: Server Rules - Brassx - 11-21-2014
I changed a few, we haven't talked about the rules yet together so we weren't on the same page about everything just yet.

Nah - on my server, it's not a problem at all - it has gotten a bit annoying for me sometimes, but it isn't really a problem - just get used to it.

No, if someone tries to argue you just say go read the rules. End of argument.
RE: Server Rules - ShortFuße - 09-29-2015
I think that we should talk about claiming, and more specifically if opening the doors to a claimed room is a kos. Because, well, there has been some debate on that.
