1st Recon Battalion
1stRB is dedicated to ensuring an enjoyable experience to all members, visitors, and players.
As a part of this we ask to to obey the following rules both in our Discord, as well as in game.
1stRB Server Rules
Section 1, General Rules
3.1 Behavior
a. Treat everyone with respect. No harassment or hate speech (Sexism, Racism, Homophobia, personal attacks, etc.) will be tolerated. This includes squad names, player names, clan tags, and the use of soundboards.
b. Baiting (Race Bating, homophobic baiting, etc.). Anyone trying to "get close" to breaking 3.1 will be treated as if breaking 3.1.
c. No malicious or toxic behavior is allowed on the server, in the community, or directed towards our player base. This includes abuse towards admins. The word "retard" falls within this area.
3.2 Unauthorized Promotion & Content
a. No unauthorized promotion of other communities, websites, or products without approval.
b. No “not safe for work” (NSFW) or “not safe for life” (NSFL) content allowed.
3.3 Impersonation
a. Impersonation of 1stRB staff or OWI staff is prohibited.
b. Impersonating a 1stRB member will fall under 3.1c malicious behavior, possibly giving the server and group a bad name. This will result in a warning, then a kick, then a ban if still repeating the same mistake.
Section 4, Gameplay Rules
4.1 Game Exploitation
4.2 Ghosting
4.3 Main Camping
No cheating, glitching, or using exploits to gain an advantage (This includes incorrect use of admin cam and any external programs not authorized by OWI).
4.4 Teamkilling
a. Intentional Team Killing is prohibited, including revenge killing. (Intentional team killing is dealt with as follows: 1 TK = 1 day ban per kill / 4+ in succession = 30-day ban).
b. Team Killing and Disconnecting is unauthorized. Doing so may result in a ban.
Ghosting, defined as providing/gaining information in-game that you would not otherwise have, is not authorized in the 1stRB server.
4.5 Vehicle Rules
a. Main camping is defined as engaging assets within a 300m radius or within direct line of sight of the enemy main. This rule becomes void when a main base is located within the 300m radius of a capture point on certain maps. If your actions can reasonably be considered main camping by the admins, you're considered main camping and expected to comply with their instructions.
b. Players are encouraged to contribute to the main objective. Not doing so may result in a kick. The active objective is considered as the current capture point.
a. Vehicles are claimed by naming your squad after the vehicle. Claim priority goes to the Squad with the more specific name, e.g., M1A1 would have priority over a squad named tank, and tank would have priority over a squad named armor. Only vehicles that require crewmen or pilot kits can be claimed. If two squads have the same priority, the vehicle is on a first-come, first-served basis. The order the squads are created in is irrelevant.
b. Squads may only claim one asset at a time, however, they may be used if no other squads are using it.
c. One manning vehicles that require a crewman kit is prohibited. This does not apply to helicopters. Stealing vehicles by attempting to claim a vehicle that has already left main is not allowed. Even if you have priority. You must claim it before it has left the main.
4.6 Communications
a. No arguing in voice or text chat.
b. No chat or microphone spam, especially during staging.
c. No debating the rules in-game.
4.7 Squad Rules
a. Squad Leaders must have an SL kit, a microphone, and be able to speak English.
b. Making a Squad and leaving it, or giving another player SL to get a desired kit, is not allowed.
c. No offensive, derogatory, inappropriate squad names. This includes any that may violate Rule 3.2 or 3.1.
d. One-man locked squads are only allowed for helicopters and vehicles that do not require a crewman kit.
e. Unarmed kits are not allowed and may result in a kick and/or ban. Squad leads reserve the right to kick from their squad as they choose.
4.8 Asset Wasting & Sabotage
No Asset Wasting and/or Sabotage.
a. Intentionally damaging or destroying friendly vehicles is not allowed.
b. The abandonment of vehicles that require crewmen is not allowed.
c. Damaging or destroying friendly radios to sabotage your team is not allowed.
This does not include the strategic importance of digging down friendly radios to prevent ticket loss.
