Server Rules: Please read all rules below!

As most of you know, we are a no BS server with solid teamwork and exciting game play. With our PunkBuster ban list full of hackers and team killers, you can rest assured we value fair play and player's time on the battlefield. While we are not perfect, we strive to insure our server has an admin on at all peak times to late into the night, and to solidify this, we have enlisted admins from not only our clan, but with =BST= and [508th]. The admin team is large to ensure complete coverage our our servers.

Our rules are firm and ignorance of them is not an excuse. Most are common sense.

*****SERVER RULES FOR ALL ]TAR[ CLAN SERVERS*****
Ignorance is no excuse!

1. Admins have the last word. If you are asked to do anything, do it or risk removal from our server.

2. Do not make squads until the timer has reached 2:00.

3. Use the @r command (@r name reason) to report a player. It is sent straight to all admins on the server. Joke or false reports are grounds for removal from the server. The admins have enough to do without players making extra work for them.

4. Feedback on admin decisions, including unban requests are to be posted in our forums. We have rules and a format for posting in this section so make sure you read them. Complaints about, or continued discussion of, admin decisions in server will result in the complaining/discussing player's removal. Talk on the forums, play on the server.

5. Disrespect of your fellow gamers will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, excessive profanity, excessive vulgarity, racist and other inflammatory language, and offensive account names. If you are concerned about your account name, change it. Violation of this rule can result in a permanent ban from our server.

6. Do not punish for accidental team-kills, including marked mines. Shit happens in war. Excessive team-kills will be dealt with.

7. Do not fly on our server unless you know how, this is not a training server.

8. Do not leave transport vehicles in the field, they are not one way transportation.

9. Do not place mines or explosives within 2 grids (6 keypads) of any main base, friendly or enemy.

10. Do not fire into or out of any dome of death protected area, especially main bases, at any time. These areas are not combat zones. Keep the combat away from them.

11. In AAS mode with capturable main bases, do not fire into or out of any main base unless that main base is currently in play (marked with an orange or purple objective marker) and you are actively attacking or defending that objective.

12. If you are in an aircraft and have an AA lock-on or are being attacked from another aircraft, do not attempt to land. You can and will be shot down.

13. Do not team-kill, this includes killing for a kit or someone that team killed you whether it was intentional or not.

14. Do not act like an asshat. This includes, but is not limited to, firing weapons in main, throwing smoke grenades at spawn points, harassing teammates by throwing rocks at or punching them, or other activities to make an *** of yourself. In general, if you are told to stop what you are doing, stop or risk removal from the server.

15. Do not capture the last 2 flags, including main, or destroy the last two caches until a minimum of 20v20 players in the server.

16. No suicide assets or assets from the Reserved List may be used prior to 10v10, with the exception of transport helicopters and the Sniper kit.

17. All assets covered by the reserved asset rule must be properly crewed prior to leaving main. Soloing to pick up a crewmember IS NOT acceptable. In the case of a crewmember leaving or disconnecting, the vehicle must return to the nearest spawn point or main to retrieve a full crew. Properly crewed means that all ground vehicles and attack choppers have a driver and a gunner. Transport and scout choppers can be properly crewed by a single player. In the case of the Sniper kit, properly crewed means a Sniper and a Spotter operating together at all times. Lone wolf snipers will be kicked.

18. Assets are reserved by the following outline.

*******************************************************************************
Reserving an asset for your squad!

Assets are reserved by naming your squad after the desired asset. Permission to take a reserved asset must be granted by reserved squad before that vehicle is entered. If you take a reserved asset and are asked to return it, do so immediately or you will be removed.

1. Sniper = This reserves 1 sniper kit for that squad. A second sniper squad can be made.
2. CAS = Jets.
3. Apache/Cobra/Havoc = Attack Choppers.
4. LB = Little-birds (Scout Choppers).
5. Trans/BH = Troop carrier choppers only.
6. Tanks/Armor = Tanks only. **This does not include LAV, BTR, Warrior, etc**
7. LAV/APC/Stryker = Light Armored Vehicle or Armored Personnel Carrier or OPFOR equal.
8. TOW/CROW= TOW or CROW vehicles like TOW or CROW HMMWV or OPFOR equal.

***These vehicles and kits will not be covered by asset naming***

Troop Trucks, Logistic Trucks, Troop HMMWV (armed or unarmed), RPG kits, HAT kits, LAT kits, AA kits,
Marksman kits

Kicks and bans will be handled on a case by case basis at the discretion of the admin on duty. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to register on our forums and express them.

If I may add, attack main bases is not allowed in Insurgency, but Suicide Vehicles are a exception.

%&!&... I hate big red... or Gary for that matter... I'll add it in, reluctantly.

Remind me not to come. A single garry/big red can take up to 1/3 of all your tickets =)

I know!!! I hate this rule!!!

But, we do defend the main at most times during insurgency maps.

[snooggums]

It's really easy on Fallujah to hit the US main at the round start and destroy every one of their vehicles if they don't hurry out since it can be detonated outside the walls. I don't mind the little cars but Big Red nd Gary are ridiculous. I'd suggest still prohibiting bomb cars in the main like we do at TG as they are used for actual cache defense instead of being wasted trying to him main every time they spawn and BluFor actually has time to organize.

Worth trying for a couple of weeks at some point.

[corp_calqluslethal]

Harrison is a good admin keep him. Also a serious and straight up player. Seen some others can't remember names good as well.

Well, we do our best and cry when we fail.

[Incursore22]

here too, too many children admins and too much power abuse... shitty server

[corp_calqluslethal]

I agree man, most of them cool. Only one thats childish is rebiv. For example he always talks shit every round and if you say something back he bans you seen it a few times. Look at what he put when sever loads. The ORIGINAL Virginia server. Show how childish he thinks. Today he thought his server was so good he was talking **** then thought he ought to say their sever was better than chicago hardcore. Lol, Just like a little kid. But i hear he's grown. We'll brother im a man first. I'd never let you disrepect me like you do those kids and have me suck up over a server. I'd go ape @#!$ bananas on you man, lol. Its like he's the only one who gets to speak and he tries to belittle people if you say anything back he bans.

Example last week. He called some dude a moron and was talking ban cuz they suspected him of cheating. He said you sir are a moron. Dude said "I'm sure" and "kiddo" nothing disrespectful like he was acting. Then he banned the man.



He comes across like a mature person on the forums, but in his server he thinks he's God lol. A video game god wow man. For real don't try it with me cuz.

Aside from him most act mature at least from what i've seen. I play there a lot. Only time the childish stuff starts is when he gets on. I don't know why, but he thinks he's video game king almighty. For real man nobody likes hearing your mouth every game.

[Coolio]

Haha nice post corp_calqluslethal

[Doedel]

Seemed like a very crappy-run server. Admins were whiny douchebags who banned on a whim and bend the rules to suit them.

Example: Earlier today on Kashan I was on MEC. One of our squads in AA vehicles decided to AA net area around South Outpost to catch unwary jets and helos trying to sneak around southern corner of map. One of them shot down a BH or some such and then spotted a US FOB along the eastern mountain ridge south of their main (about 1km away) in the middle of nowhere, so he went to investigate. Got there, found out it was still occupied so he turned around and ran off -- moving no closer than 4 grids from US main.

So TAR admin guys got in a tiffy asking "who was at US main in AA?!" claiming that whoever it was had gone within 200m of their main base (which is actually impossible due to "area of death" surrounding the main bases).

Then less than 5 minutes later as I'm heading back to MEC main to resupply I run into two Bradleys moving between South Village and MEC main. I politely bring up the fact that the US bradleys are a lot closer to our main than our AA was to theirs -- then found out it was TAR guys in the Bradleys. Got killed, respawned and Bradleys remained -- long enough for me to hop in TOW at MEC main and kill one (thats how close they were). Of course there were excuses "oh, they're just passing by". So it's OK if they're TAR.

Then a few minutes later one of the TAR guys (they were all stacking US team) switched to MEC and joined the AA squad. Apparently he was sent to "investigate" whether we were camping US main. I was sat in G6 literally about 1.9km away from US main (I checked) in SA-6 and managed to kill an A-10 after it passed over me 5 times (it didn't seem to be trying to land or anything but circling overhead, maybe trying to figure out where I was so I could be banned for "baseraping"). TAR guy who joined our squad started asking me where I was, what I was doing, not doing a very good attempt to hide the fact he's trying to "catch me red handed". So then he hops in a BTR from MEC main and one-mans it to me to see exactly where I am, which is as I said 2km away from US main. His mission a failure he decides to take the vehicle to North Village (where we have nobody) and then hop out and switch back to US team. Completely just wasted an asset, teamswitched to scope out enemy positions and abandoned asset in enemy territory.

tl;dr Shitty Admin Checklist:

1) Teamstacking -- Check
2) Liberal use of banhammer that seems more guided by who doesn't show the proper "respect" -- Check
3) Bending server rules for own clan members (you're baseraping if you kill a TAR 2km from his main, but not if you're a TAR killing someone else 800m from their main) -- Check
4) Outright breaking server rules (teamswitching to scout enemy, stealing and abandoning vehicle asserts) -- Check
5) Doing the above just to see who killed you so you can ban them -- Check
6) "Use teamwork or we'll ban you" and other ridiculous threats and statements -- Check
7) Banning an entire clan because they didn't like what one member did ("we hold you all responsible, *ban*") -- Check

[joethepro36]

"Use teamwork or we'll ban you"
Banning an entire clan because they didn't like what one member did ("we hold you all responsible, *ban*")

I was there during this round and observed both of these particulary the ban since the guy tk'ed me and my squad.

I generally find TAR to be okay, shaky admins and occasional team stacking but decent enough players there. Often the negatives outweigh the positives, it really depends on how many admins are on and what ones are there. Rebiv is decent, seems the most consistent of the lot, yet to see him screw around (not surprising when it's his server.)

My own experiences have been mixed. I have had a lot of good rounds but only it seems when the TAR members arn't there en masse. On the other hand I have had some disturbing things happen to me:

Getting tk'ed twice by an admin without a "sorry" and when punishing on the second time I was told I'd get banned if I did it again which goes against "Do not punish for accidental teamkills. Wait for an apology."

A guy not dropping a repair crate and getting told he'd get banned for not doing it in a similar situation in future. (could sympathise with the admin but it's still too overboard)

Having 4 caches go down on ramiel in 20 minutes and told I'd be banned if I carried on "accusing the other team of cheating", I said it was "suspicious that they found those caches so quickly".


But at the end of the day a good round is a good round and I've had many on the TAR server so it mostly makes up for it. Even with all the perceived negative feedback the admins reply very quickly to smacktards, there is always two sides to a coin.

[Drunkenup]

I agree man, most of them cool. Only one thats childish is rebiv. For example he always talks shit every round and if you say something back he bans you seen it a few times. Look at what he put when sever loads. The ORIGINAL Virginia server. Show how childish he thinks. Today he thought his server was so good he was talking **** then thought he ought to say their sever was better than chicago hardcore. Lol, Just like a little kid. But i hear he's grown. We'll brother im a man first. I'd never let you disrepect me like you do those kids and have me suck up over a server. I'd go ape @#!$ bananas on you man, lol. Its like he's the only one who gets to speak and he tries to belittle people if you say anything back he bans.

Example last week. He called some dude a moron and was talking ban cuz they suspected him of cheating. He said you sir are a moron. Dude said "I'm sure" and "kiddo" nothing disrespectful like he was acting. Then he banned the man.

Until what you see what hes done for the damn server, which is pay for it for weeks on end without anybodies help, then you would consider our whole clan shitty. Nobody in TAR is better than anyone else, hes not the childish one, and for you to say that most of us are "cool" compared to him is simply atrocious. I would step infront of you in person just to say that hes a better person than me. Its his server, his payments, so leave him alone. I ain't crying for anyone except you immature ***.

[corp_calqluslethal]

Just cause he pays for a sever doesn't give him a right to disrespect people. I'm not tryna beef with you dudes, just giving constructive critism. Dude is 21, we all would agree the most mature person in the world isn't 21. Power always corrupts, even the most mature ones if you not careful. Just try to be cool with people in the sever as you would with your own clan. Just try to respect others basically is all i want to say to you man. You guys are good players no doubt. I enjoy the sever, just never really can settle for anyone disrespecting me.

And um drunkenup since im immature ***. Quote. If you were a transformer you would be a deceptcon cause you always lose. So take your anger on me out in the field, lol if you can. Some more immature stuff about me to put in your book.

Seriously I hope you can take constructive critism. If it wasn't for bad luck drunk... You'd have no luck at all.
Not a whole lot to it. But talking shit then hiding behind a ban isn't cool.

[Jevski]

I can only agree with the criticism above. Its simpler just not to play there.

[PaveHawk]

I do my best to avoid this server. I have personally not had an issue. But I have seen ]TAR[ Rebiv4 in action and it's like trying to play with a 10 year old. I was in a squad that didn't want a ride in the APC he was driving. What does he tell us. We either get in or we are cut off the rest of the game. He will instruct his APC squad to not transport our squad. Now mind you he was not the commander or my SL, he wasn't even in our squad. So I recommend that if he is playing you play else were. The rest of the TAR people seem ok. But ]TAR[ Rebiv4 is another story.

[HARRISON1973]

This is the kind of stuff we need to know about but remember to include names, times, and dates so I can go back through the server logs and find the admins involved. Also, we are in the process of revamping our entire admin structure as far as responsibilities go to try and curb negative impact on the server.

We also need people to visit our site to view the Practice Schedule because some of the instances may be attributed to that. We do not lock our server, and do not intend to, for practice because we like to get the public involved as well. And most do a great job but some that have no idea whats going on may think we're stacking teams ect... Some of the admins may forget that a few public players are clueless about our server schedule.

While we are not perfect, we are (Rebiv included) trying to make changes that will better our server as a whole for both us and public players and strive to include non-clan members into our mix. And while I understand the nature of some of the posts bashing members of the clan, I ask that you add suggestions, and keep it positive, if possible.
