📜 Rules of Engagement

1️⃣ Treat Others Today How You Want to Be Treated Tomorrow

Respect your fellow players. Whether ally or adversary, maintain good sportsmanship and foster an immersive experience for everyone.

2️⃣ General Conduct

• 🚫 Flaming, insults, reproaches, and mockery are prohibited.
• 🚫 Slander and spreading rumors are prohibited.
• 🚫 Advertising of any kind is prohibited.
• 🚫 Spam is prohibited, including excessive messages, emojis, or pings.
• 🚫 Off-topic discussions are not allowed in thematic channels. Special channels have been created for unrelated discussions.

3️⃣ Respect Staff

👨‍✈️ The staff is here to help and keep the game running smoothly. Follow their instructions and be civil, even if there’s a disagreement. If you have a complaint or concern, raise it politely through the proper channels.

4️⃣ Communication Rules

💬 Text Communication: Engage in discussions, plan missions, and share stories. Leave the game in the game—avoid "meta-gaming" (using out-of-game knowledge to affect in-game decisions).

🛑 NSFW Content: Limit explicit content and keep discussions appropriate for all players.

🔇 Profanity: While some language is acceptable for immersion, excessive or targeted profanity will not be tolerated.

🎧 In-Game Voice Comms: Do not use third-party voice apps (e.g., Discord Voice Chat) to coordinate in-game actions. Use only in-game tools like radios and hand signals for communication. Adapt with what you have in-game for a true Cold War experience.

5️⃣ No Cheating, Hacking, or Exploiting

🛡️ Prohibited Actions: No hacks, cheats, or scripts for unfair advantages. Avoid exploiting bugs (e.g., peeking through walls, glitching items).

📨 Bug Reports: If you encounter a bug, open a support ticket rather than exploiting it.

6️⃣ Combat Logging

❌ Combat Logging is Prohibited: Do not log out during combat or under threat of combat. Leave only after the engagement is over. If you experience combat logging from another player, submit a report.

7️⃣ Roleplay at Your Comfort Level

🎭 Immerse Yourself: RP as much or as little as you like. Whether you’re a soldier, Soviet operative, or civilian survivor—tell your story your way.

🤔 Need Help? If you want to enhance your experience or have questions, contact staff for support.

8️⃣ Banning Policy

🚫 Zero Tolerance for Serious Offenses: Cheating, hacking, or exploiting bugs for an unfair advantage will result in a permanent ban with no warnings. Team Killing: Intentional team killing (friendly fire) will result in a ban after investigation.

⚠️ Strike System for Minor Offenses:

• First offense: Warning
• Second offense: Temporary ban
• Third offense: Permanent ban

📹 Evidence Requirement for Permanent Bans and Appeals: A video recording is required to issue a permanent ban or overturn a ban appeal. Appeals without sufficient video proof may be denied to maintain fairness.

🛡️ Appeals: If you believe you’ve been banned unfairly, you may submit an appeal through the official website or ticket system. Frivolous or disrespectful appeals will be denied immediately.
