PLAY FAIR, HAVE FUN, AND MAKE FRIENDS.
1.) Play Fair,
|33rd| Clan members do not cheat. We do not attempt to circumvent rules or use bugs that are construed as cheats in the communities where we represent the |33rd| as a clan member. WE PLAY FAIR.We play with stock MOH:AA and stock MOH:AA only.
2.) Have Fun,
Do not intentionally create or pursue actions that can be perceived to be derogatory or demeaning to a player or group of players. We all have our political, religious and moral beliefs as a gaming community. Lets keep our conversations PG-13 and family orientated. This includes using excessive use of foul language, both in Vent and in game, a Raw channel was created and if you have to swear please go there or you will be moved there[/b]. Calling anyone cheaters (in any form), harassment, racial terms, cursing at, bigotry, this includes calling ANYONE a HACK in fun or otherwise, etc, is NOT tolerated and could be subject too disciplinary action by |HQ|. The word HACK is not in the |33rd| vocabulary. If you have an issue with any player, players, or clans then use your chain of command and give them the opportunity to mediate the issue.
3.) PLAY FOR ONE CLAN,
If you play for the |33rd|, you only play for the |33rd|.
The exception is if the |33rd| does not support/participate in the game you wish to play. If this is the case then please ask HQ if you can lead or help create this new gaming community for |33rd| expansion.
If |33rd| |HQ| decides against expansion then playing the specific game under/for a 2nd clan is acceptable.
4.) WEAR the |33rd| Clan tags with pride.
This means we wear them on all servers/game environments |33rd| and non-|33rd|.
Example of proper Tags:
[33rd]Pvt.Joe|PD|
|33rd|Maj.Woody|AD|CO|
|33rd|Dusty|PD|
5.) ONE NAME, DO NOT SMURF,
Establish and maintain your identity.
If a |33rd| members wish to change their name. The name change must be authorized by Commanding Officer |C.O| and |HQ| members before it can take effect. Continuous name changing will not be allowed or authorized.
|SP| and |HQ| administrators are the exception, they may smurf strictly for the purpose of administration.
6.) INITIATE OR PERPETUATE ARGUMENTS/FIGHTS,
This does not happen on game servers, Vent servers, or forum boards, etc... We maintain world class professionalism in everything we do and everywhere we do it. Once again if there are problems contact a |SP| or |HQ| member so they can have the opportunity to mediate and fix the issue.
7.) ACCUSATIONS OF CHEATING,
We DO NOT accuse other players of being hackers, cheaters, or any other accusations of non-fair play. We inform administrators (|HQ| or |SP| officers) of the problem and let them handle it. Use community administrators and/or your chain of command.
8.) CLAN SECURITY (a),
All topics and information posted in the CLAN MEMBER (passworded) areas are to be and will be treated as private information, DO NOT share this information with non-clan members. This is a security issue. As they say: Loose Lips Sink Ships....
9.) CLAN SECURITY (b),
Members are NEVER to give forum passwords out to non-members (including recruits). Vent passwords may only be given to members in private and in writing only. Vocal communication of any passwords is not allowed, you can never be too sure who is listening.
10.) IMAGES/SIGNATURES AND CONDUCT PG-13,
|33rd| signatures must maintain the same level of professionalism as all other aspects of a |33rd|. Please help keep our community content at a PG-13 level. Thank you!
11.) ATTITUDE, (in game and out)
|33rd| Clan members are to maintain a positive atmosphere in all communities. Do not detract from others gaming experience by using derogatory remarks etc.. Use intelligent constructive communication if the situation calls for it.. or better yet get a |SP| or |HQ| member to mediate and help you.
12) STOCK MOH:AA,
The |33rd| encourages its members to play stock MOH:AA.
Members can use mods such as custom skins/scopes, etc.. but
this is a use at their own risk. If a member uses a mod that is
not in the spirit of fun and fair play then said player may be subject to |HQ| disciplinary actions.
13) |33rd|Leave and return policy,
this rule is effective 2/19/2007
|Ret| Retired members.
Clan members who are granted |Ret| Tags will be allowed to return to the clan with the rank they retired at.
|Ret| members who return to the clan will be considered |Members| upon return and will need to re-apply for |Ret| Status if they decide to leave again.
No HQ or SP duties will be assigned to any returnees for 5 months.
|Ret| members will lose their |Ret| status if any of the following occur.
1.) Join another clan.
2.) Break the |33rd| code of ethics/rule that apply. (i.e. cheating, treating people with disrespect, etc..)
3.) Actions against or detrimental to the |33rd| gaming community or its members.
4.) |33rd| |HQ| can revoke |Ret| at anytime if deemed appropriate.
|Ret| members who have their |Ret| status revoked will be considered as |members| in the event they request to return to the |33rd|.
|Members|
|Members| who voluntarily leave the |33rd| will receive a 1 month grace period in which they can return to the clan with out loss of rank.
For every month that |Members| are away from the |33rd| they will lose one rank. (Example: A CSgt. leaves the clan, 3 months pass. He/she wishes to be a |33rd| again. Following an affirmative vote by HQ the player could return as a Cpl.)
|Members| who have been away for so long that all rank would be lost, Will be able to return at the rank of Cpl. following an affirmative vote by |HQ|.
|Members| who leave for another clan may be allowed to return to the |33rd| at the rank of LCpl. following an affirmative vote by |HQ|.(Regardless of time away or rank at leaving)
When |Members| or |Ret| request to return to the |33rd|.
|33rd|HQ| will have a vote to accept or deny the request.
The |33rd| recruitment Chief will notify said player of acceptance, denial, and rank on return.
NAME CHANGE CHALLENGES,
These can be fun for all. But the following guidelines need to be followed when participating in challenges.
1.) Name changes do not last more then 1 week.
2.) Name changes are for use on 33rd servers only.
3.) * When playing in a scrim against other clans. Members are too use their common (regularly used) |33rd| name.
4.) * When playing on non-33rd servers please revert back to your common (regularly used) |33rd| name.
5.) Use of the name change on |33rd| servers during |33rd| practices or inter |33rd| scrims is allowed.
*The reason for using your regular name during the times listed above is for administrators of non-33rd servers, or other clans leadership to be able to identify who you actually are. If other Clan leadership comes to us about |33rd|Sgt.Banana Man|PD| it makes it that much more difficult to quickly identify and solve the issue.
