BOA AvA Player Conduct expectations

[Mister Fork]

During the BOA, we expect all conduct to be fair, respectful, and reasonable.

5 Fair Play Rules
1. We ask that all players be respectful to one another in the Arena.
2. There is 0-Tolerance to any kind of smack-talk or taunting on any open channel.
3. There is 0-Tolerance to complaints about HO's, vulching, or 'unfair gameplay' that is disrespectful to other players on any open channel.
4. Three-strike offense system. First offense is a warn. Second is a mute. Third we ask you to leave. If player refuses, we eject.
5. Any player(s) found to be using an empty arena to advance their war effort without opposition is an offense - see rule 4.

Our intent is to trust everyone to be reasonable and respectful to one another.  Break that trust, you will be asked to leave the arena.  Any player that has an issue, please use the built-in .complain feature to report it to HTC support.

Questions for number 5.

Is this meant to squash large off peak hour raids, or knock out the more casual off peak players.

Personally I am often on at off peak hours. I'll come into the Ava and find maybe 2-3 people in there. Usually 2-3v1-s for one side or the other.

If one side launches a mission and the other side logs off, does that mission then have to turn around and land?

Noted, and a step in the right direction IMO.

Good question Damionte.  Rule 5 is meant to stop 5-10 players coordinating and sticking to one side to pummel their vacant opponent in an organized fashion - what we consider unreasonable player conduct. 2-3 players,  is reasonable.  Conversely, side CO are expected to defend their territories - war doesn't sleep and if they have players from a variety of time zones, the could coordinate their times in the arena.  It all goes down to what is reasonable. 

If a side logs as you're in the middle of a coordinated attack, the attack continues.  It again goes back to what is reasonable.  Sized are expected to defend their resources. 

Hope this answers your question.

Understood.

Rules seem fair to me.

So are these rules going to be enforced only against JG54, say like the forums violation 1 week time out, or will they be enforced for everyone? Just seeking clarification...

Yes 

[oakranger]

Hey, lets not target just JG 54. It goes for everybody.  Allies do have a few bad apples too.  and i do expet them to follow the rules too.  If not, Mister Fork will get you. 

[VWE]

Thanks for the clarification, its 'official' all of JG54 are considered bad apples.

[Chilli]

  Okay, can we move on?  Seems pretty much well understood by all, break rules and have consequences.

We do not have any control over the BBS forum and we do not issue "time outs". You can take that up with Skuzzy.

Ummm, i never say that all JG54 are bad apples

i think the rules are great!! i think it will work out nicely. what id really like to know, is why, when i suggested rules of that nature, i was considered somewhat of a radical. i faced a barage of critisizm and now look, we have rules. imagine that. well i for one am all for them. just wish i hadnt been left to hang out to dry.
