-=RuleZ=- Free for All #PR (Europe)

[Captain Chaos]

Hello,

We started with RuleZ as a family only clan. Some well known players joined us in the past, and some left. To keep the server up we started a donation initiative as well as a Server Patrol team of admins (=RSP=) to help. The spirit of RuleZ is maximum fun for maximum players. Our servers are a place where fair play and fun are maxed out to their limits. All of our rules exist to make this possible. We try to keep admin interference as low as possible but we are very serious when it comes to keeping our server clean. For example, we have zero tolerance when it comes to intentional team killers and they will be permanently banned if caught. There is no reason that can justify an intentional teamkill. We try to keep an as ''clean'' as possible player base.

In a perfect world and on a perfect server people would recognize this on their own, but this is not a perfect world nor is RuleZ a perfect server, even though we are always working to get as close to this goal as possible. This motto has brought us that we are now one of the best ranked vanilla Battlefield 2 servers out there... and since 2009 we have moved to PR territory.

Some minor information regarding admins. Admins are tagged both as -=RuleZ=- and =RSP=. RSP stands for RuleZ Server Patrol and are minor admins (server moderators) that keep the game on the right path. Any questions can be directed at them. If you think something went wrong, or you feel like you were somehow mistreated then feel free to post your problems on our website, so we can handle it.

Have fun on our server!

Map Rotation:

• No fixed rotation. We start out with skirmish maps until there are enough people in the server to run AAS or Insurgency maps. We do not run CnC or Vehicle Warfare maps.

Only in extreme cases where there is a huge difference between players on both sides then a switch will be done when a player is critically wounded or alive. Lonewolfs will always be switched first before people who are in squads.
  
  NEW: Whenever a clan with 5 or more players joins the server, they will automatically be excluded from auto balance during that round. More info in post #12.

Very unfair admin,

Today: 08/02/2011 23:50

Was on Karbala map on Insurgents side.

I just killed 2 american soldiers as they was about to blow up the cache, As I was getting more ammo for my RPG a CIVI thought it would be funny to throw rocks at me and kill me and then revive me again. So when he revived me I shot the **** back.
Then it went on to the next round Fallujah West, The Teamkiller then reported me to an admin saying I tk purpose so I tell the teamkiller to stfu because he tk me first and then bye bye me.

TeamKiller: HeroS ToOMOo00
Admin That Banned: =RSP= GranatenEddie

Dont normaly have any problems with Rulez clan , play on there server most days.
HeroS clan are normaly good to squad up with but ToOMOo needs maturing up!

PS, Would of reported it on Rulez website but its in a different language from English.

[Captain Chaos]

I'm sad to hear you had such a negative expierence on RuleZ... and with one of the HeroS members for that matter, they are nice guys as far as I know them.

First of all: This is you?
If yes, it seems you recieved a 20 minute kick for your chat and not the teamkill. 20 minutes is not that long but I will check out what is exactly said and by who.

Anyway, I do have to say that we technically don't tolerate any kind of teamkill, whether that is an intentional teamkill or a revenge teamkill so we will certainly dig deeper in this issue. I can understand that you find it unfair that the guy who threw rocks and killed you (IF that's how things went) got away with it. I won't draw any solid conclusions right now as I wasn't there but I will contact Eddie and see what I can find out.

I do have to say that you can use English on our website. That is no problem at all. It's kind of a mix between German and English all the time.

I will reply to your PM when I know more.

Hi,

Sorry for our Toomoo, who sometimes forgets not everybody is in the same funny & childish mood as he sometimes might be.
He shouldn't have teamkilled you (with rocks:mrgreen , and you should'nt have teamkilled him after revive.

Sorry for the inconvenience on your great server.

As for RuleZ, HeroS' french forum is in french but you can post in any language (just prefer french or english, then german, spanish, italian... at least russian would be a real problem for now... ).
I strongly encourage anyone who experience problems with us to come post in our dedicated section to solve them : A problem with us / our servers ?. We're always open to any feel or critic about us and we do our best to be fair with people involved (HeroS' members as foreigns). We just expect in return the messages to be honnest, respectful and polite, so we can answer the same way.

Please don't throw the rock to TooMoo (just an historical joke ) as he's a great teammate and (at least usually) a very fair teamworker.

Thanks for the reply, Yes that is me, my ingame name is Mad-Mike-2[UK]
Yes the admin only banned me after ToOMOo reported me because I told ToOMOo to stfu because he teamkilled me be very stupid.
Eddie should of digged deeper before kicking me, even though it was only 20 minutes.
The wrong person got kicked, And nothing happend to ToOMOo.(stressful)

Thanks

Mike

No matter what mood he is in, he should'nt go around teamkilling people, Perfetic trouble maker.

I didnt have the problem on the HeroS server, I had the problem on RuleZ server.
So there for Iam reporting it to a RuleZ admin where he then can deal with it fairly, because ToOMOo is ur clan member and ur bound to stick up for him.

[Mad-Mike]

Admin has dealt with this incident over PM, Captain Chaos is a good admin and knows what he is doing.

Yes it was on RuleZ's server, it also was a player of my clan, understand my intervention was an invitation to solve a problem you had with someone, it's up to you to use it or remain on an incident. Our section is called "Problem with us/our server" as it's not only for problems on the server, but any sort of.

because ToOMOo is ur clan member and ur bound to stick up for him.

WhiteMoon;1546087']We're always open to any feel or critic about us and we do our best to be fair with people involved (HeroS' members as foreigns).

Please understand the sentence and notice we are able to apologize for our own mistakes when we do so, as well as we expect the same from others, this is the meaning of being fair. So thanks not to assert we don't act fair because of one incident when you didn't even tryed to come deal it with us

At least know that the general rule of PR servers is to report problems to admins, not players to make justice by themselves, even if in this case I understand you defended yourself (according to your point of view). Also insulting a player who's playing wrong doesn't encourage him to act a better way and put yourself in the position of someone breaking rules. Always be respectful and polite, and again always report to admins as soon as possible will always ensure you the best issue.

I'm glad everything is clear with RuleZ server. Again you're welcome if you want to also do so with TooMoo and his clan.

Reporting a very bad TKer who TKs on purpose. Today on Karbala on the US team, player S3arg3nt.Gunn3r started TKing ppl with nades at the main base because I didnt let him in my CROWS humvee cuz I was waiting for my gunner to come back who DC'd earlier. Then he finished me off with a LAT, destroying the CROWS, all this happened at the main US army base. Please ban this piece of shit, thanks. This happened at about like 9:00-10:30pm European time February 20th.

[Captain Chaos]

Thanks. Unfortunately we had no admins online yesterday. I will most certainly check him out and he won't be playing here again if your story is right. Thanks for the report.

EDIT: http://www.rulez-server.de/modules.php? ... ic&t=46800

[TheComedian]

! command is finally running on the server and its great.

[Captain Chaos]

We made and installed a new script which will make life easier for clans who want to play together on our server. Whenever a clan with 5 or more players joins the server will automaticly excluded them from autobalance. This will automaticly kick in whenever the 5th player of a clan joins.

When the script activates, everybody will see a message in the top left corner. Example for clan SRF:

Autobalance for Clan SRF is switched off for this round

When the next round loads, the list will be cleared and on round start the script will check if there are still clans with more then 5 players in the server. If that's the case, then it will automaticly disable autobalance for that clan again for that round.

ABUSE WILL RESULT IN A BAN SO BE WARNED.

Hope this will make life easier for any clans who play on our server.

Would you mind sharing that to afterdune so he can implement that in his AD scripts?

Its bad that no admins are on at this time on a friday... Many players and some rulebreakers.

Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, we only have two active admins (maybe 3 in the near future) on our PR server. It's just: we rather have two good admins then 20 crappy ones. This comes at a price: there are moments when we have no admins and that is of course a shame, especially when I hear that there are rule breakers who might get away with their actions. That said, we have some users who are trusted and fit a wide variety of criteria who can use warning commands so things won't fall in complete chaos.

See here which players have those warning rights.
