Bosco,
You may not see the need to follow our rules during an event but every CM will say they are there for a reason, and always a good reason. Any event, from KOTH to FSO to SnapShots to Racing, has them and participants should respect them. They may not completely understand the purpose of the rules but that doesnt really matter. When rules are stated its up to each and every participant to know them and follow them. Personally I know I bore everyone at KOTHs when I go over the rules for 15 minutes, but it is important everyone is clear on the rules.
It comes down to this:
1) you defefinately broke at least 1 koth rule.
2) you got your squaddie involved, forcing him to break a rule.
We were initially thinking of just an event mute as puinshment but we decided your cavalier attitude required a bit more.
For breaking the rule yourself you will not be allowed to fly in KOTHs for the next two months.
You got your squad involved and they didnt try to stop you so JG-5 'Eismeer' is also banned from KOTHs next month. That means 69bee, BAAADMAN, Bosco123, Hawk13, michael4, Rad54, soaB1, and wazinya also will not be alloweed to participate in KOTHs for one month.
CMs do communicate with each other and I have spoken to them regarding this incident and you most likely will be under the microscope in the near future in any events you participate in.
Regarding future KOTHs, you can pretty much guarentee having to film and send it in to make sure you are playing by the rules. NO films = no fly.
CMs run events but some, including KOTH, are self policing. If people see someone not following rules they let the CMs know. Honesty and integrity come into play regarding some rules and you seem to be lacking to some extent.
So consider yourself and your squad banned from KOTH for February, and also March for you. You will not even be allowed in the arena to watch. If you do you'll be ejected quickly with no warning or explanation.
