Rule Re-wording / Changes

[Unpoke]

Welcome to Forerunner Gaming!

Before playing on our servers you must read and understand the rules below.

In-Game Rules

Code:

» 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. This includes purposely losing a minigame under any circumstance.

» Do not delay.
Letting the timer run out as a traitor can be considered delaying under most circumstances. Camping a t-room or refusing to attempt to kill innocents are examples of these and will get you slain. You can not delay as an innocent or detective.

» Ghosting is not tolerated.
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.

» No RDMing.
Killing somebody based on suspicion, location, skin, weapon, or any other questionable means are not allowed on this server. You must have proof based on viable evidence. You can use logic as long as it's built on in-game facts, not observations or drawn conclusions. This means you can KOS off of being one of only two people alive, or if only one person is not proven. Attempting to RDM by dealing damage to a player is classified and treated as RDM. Leaving after committing an act of RDM is bannable. Completing any sort of map objective as an innocent that causes traitors to win is treated as mass-RDM as well as meta-gaming. As a traitor, you must warn t-buddies of any quick actions that may endanger them. This includes remote bombs, discombobs, incendiaries, traitor traps, etc. This does NOT include C4's - those have a neat display showing a time limit for them to get away.

» Do not traitor bait/karma bait
Shooting around somebody, attempting to prop-kill, or pushing/discombobulating players in a hazardous area is classified as traitor baiting. Consequences are worse when it's for the reason of hurting somebody's karma. Shooting directly into the sky is not traitor baiting, but anywhere else around a player is. Destroying a health station without permission from the detective is traitor bait and is KOSable.

» Claiming is allowed.
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. Opening doors is KOSable regardless of it being mentioned. You may NOT claim an entire hallway leading to your room or entire ladders.

» Detectives have no authority.
Detectives cannot force anybody to test or do anything. Detectives cannot claim until overtime either. Only detectives can force you to drop a body to find DNA/evidence on.

» Do not kill AFKs.
Our AFK system or a staff member will take care of that. If you believe someone is farming please inform staff.

General Rules

Code:

» No exploiting/hacking.
Getting into unreachable areas is not allowed. Any area that allows you to see through walls is an exploit. Door blocking classifies as exploiting. No hacking is self-explanatory. If you believe somebody is hacking/exploiting, contact a staff member.

» No advertising.
You may not advertise in your name, text chat, or mic chat. This includes posting any sort of link in chat whether its yours or not.

» No NSFW sprays.
Everything on your spray must follow the respect rule and it cannot be porn. Softcore porn is still porn.

» Show respect.
Racism, arguing, sexism, or any other sort of disrespect is never allowed. Names should not include curse words, terms that affect gameplay or any other inappropriate content.

» No spamming.
Consistent talking, making comprehensible noises into your microphone or singing are examples of mic-spam. Chat spamming is not allowed either.

» Server/Player threats are not tolerated.
Threatening to hack, DDOS, crash, or put the server or a player at risk in any way is an INSTANT permanent ban. This includes doxxing.

» Make your name pronounceable.
Do not use unrecognizable characters. It has to be pronounceable to all players.

» Do not argue with staff.
Staff are chosen because they're believed to have an understanding of rules and are trusted. If you believe they're doing something wrong, make a player complaint.

Inventory Rules

Code:

» Only use provided trading methods.
Third-party trading is NOT allowed. Do not attempt to trade any sort of non-tradeable items. This includes using a non-tradeable item and giving the result of it to the buyer.

» No scamming/sharking.
Trying to persuade someone a trade is fair when it's not, trying to take advantage of newcomers, or anything else along these lines are not allowed.

» No farming.
This means going AFK to collect end of round drops or lengthen your time played on the servers. This also forbids use of click-bots or using exploits to avoid cooldowns.
