~SBW~ Server Rules

If you were kicked or banned from one of our servers it was most likely you broke one of our server rules. Rules are
put into place so all may enjoy the benefits from a smooth running server. If this is not the case feel free to post a
message In our forums and I will follow up with you within 24 hours. Please enjoy our servers and respect the rules so
that all may enjoy their time spent there. Thanks! STING

Rules of Engagement
As ~SBW~ members, we pride ourselves in fair & honorable play. And as such, we expect no different from our visitors.
To meet those standards, one must abide by The Rules of Engagement. . .

1. Camping
• Base Camping – We will allow up to 2 base campers at any one time
• Portal Camping - Standing next to a portal & waiting for people to come through.
• Non-Camping - It is not considered camping if you stop in an area to wait for a person to fall into your ambush and
then moving on. (Ex. In Sidewinder, if you see someone on the other side of the portals about to come through, it is
perfectly acceptable to ambush them. Just don’t continue to sit there.) Stopping or hiding to reload is also fine.

2. Changing Teams
• Changing teams is only allowed if a member of the clan tells you to or if you are doing so to help even out the teams.
• Changing teams well not be allowed if you are doing it just to be on the winning team.
• ~SBW~ will always play as a team when possible. So when you see a member of the clan come in & they switch
teams, don’t complain. We well do everything in our power to create a fair level of game play. If teams are uneven &
there’s nobody willing to even them, we well kick the lowest scoring players until the game is even again.

3. General Conduct
• Do not attempt to Team Kill. We are here to play, not to play around.
• Do not nade your team’s empty vehicles.
• If game type has infinite nades, you are not allowed to nade camp.
• Parking a tank on the flag is not allowed, tanks are not allowed on the flag platform.
• Hogs and vehicles are not allowed in tunnels, and cannot be used as tunnel blockades.
• Do not use wall glitches or map glitches, it is cheating and you will be banned.
• Do not use any hacks, including aimbots, wireframing, etc. It is cheating and you will be banned.

4. Chatting
The following will not be acceptable on our servers. (Applies to clan as well)
• WE PROTECT THESE SERVERS AND OUR VISITORS FROM ABUSIVE AND FOUL LANGUAGE. Depending on the violation
we will generally give you grace of two warnings and then a ban. But our admins may ban at their discretion based
upon foul or abusive language.
• Racist or sexist comments (or names)
IF YOU HAVE A RACIST NAME, YOU MAY BE BANNED ON SIGHT. WE ARE ALL RED AND BLUE, AND A FEW OTHER
COLORS IN HALO.
• Excessive pissing & moaning
• Spamming
• This isn’t a chat room, if your not here to play, then its best to go chat elsewhere.
• Overall – Respect our clan & all players on our server.

5. PING
• Any ping considered to be high may be kicked without warning.
• Too many random ping spikes by any one player may also result in being kicked

6. AFK
• DO NOT sit in our server while you go out or to eat dinner or anything else that would take longer then 5 minutes.
IF AN ADMIN MUST KICK YOU FOR AFK SEVERAL TIMES, YOU MAY BE BANNED FROM THE SERVER FOR 1 DAY TO 2
WEEKS. UNLESS IT IS STING.

7. Stunts
• Stunting = Instant Ban
• Stunting is not allowed at all on our server. If you want to stunt, go find a stunt server.

The following is the most important rule of all.

8. Have Fun
• Be competitive, but remember that it’s just a game.
• Keep a friendly environment


Failure to comply with the Rules of Engagement may result in immediate discharge. (Kicked or banned)
For the most part, we are very lenient and well give a verbal warning for first offenses.
Thank You for your cooperation & enjoy our server!!!
