]3AC[ CLANS RULES OF COMBAT

“In-House” Ranked Server Rules, Public Ranked Servers and Private Rented Clan Servers may introduce custom rules that apply only to their servers and which result in minor changes to game play. These “In-House” rules are allowed as long as they do not violate the conditions of a ranked server as determined by the GAME COMPANY and as long as they are explicitly announced in the server description or on the loading screen, so that players joining the server are aware of them before they start playing.

 

The Following Is A List Of Our “In-House” Ranked Server Rules:

• Players may not prevent any other player from using certain vehicles.
• Players may not prevent any other player from using any assets.

• Players may not deliberately perform actions that hinder their own team such as last-minute team-swapping to increase scores or statistics, excessive team-killing (if turned on), destroying friendly vehicles or assets, attacking team-mates, deliberately placing themselves in a situation so they cause another player to team-kill them.
• Players may not ignore requests from server administrators. Via Team Speak or in game text (server messages).

• When an administrator talks on Team Speak as an administrators --- When an administrators has to jump on the Team Speak channel and tell members about an issue, DO NOT interrupt them to tell someone something about the game. They are doing it for a reason or else they wouldn't be doing it in the first place.
• Complaining over Team Speak --- You will eventually run into players that are very good at the game. Please do not complain about these players more then to point out their game play may be questionable and needs investigation. Keep in mind your level of play in the game.

• When a new person applies the application will be reviewed and approved or disapproved by Command & Staff after player history and back ground checks are established.
• When an applicant receives an email outlining final requirements for membership, once completed the new recruit is on probationary period for 14-35 days depending on activity. At this time the applicant is still in the evaluation period and is to wear ]3AC[r] clan tags at all times and remember this is still our trial period for applicants before moving to the next step of full member ship status.

At the end of the recruit period the new recruit will be either:

• (1) Approved.
• (2) Disapproved.
• (3) Held over for an additional 7-28 days additional evaluation.
   If the recruit is approved they will be considered a Full Clan Member.

 

Authorized Clan Tags and Placement
Full Member Clan Tag:   In Game Tag ]3AC[ PlayerName   Team Speak Clan Tag ]3AC[X] PlayerName
Recruit Clan Tag:   In Game Tag ]3AC[r] PlayerName   Team Speak Clan Tag ]3AC[r] PlayerName
Probationary Clan Tag:  In Game Tag ]3AC[p] PlayerName   Team Speak Clan Tag ]3AC[p] PlayerName

  

In game clan tags do not show troop assignments, unlike the Team Speak clan tags do and  will always show your assigned troop letter (X is used here as an example).

While in recruit status you must use the [r] in your clan tags both on team speak and while in game at all times till full membership is granted and at that time a troop letter will be assigned to you.

Probation tag means some one got into some trouble with the rules set forth and a hearing was held and that member was set to a probationary status for a set amount of time deemed by Command and Staff. At all times any member placed on probation must wear the letter [p] as shown above for the duration of said set time.
