Garry's Mod Meta

The Garry's Mod Meta is a general term used to describe the collective all factions or individuals who take place in some form of organized combat and the generally agreed upon conventions among them. This page attempts to document some of the past and present conventions.
==Regulation==
For years now, factions have been using scummy (more often, called illegal) methods to try winning against others. Several groups have attempted to mitigate this problem by creating some kind of regulating body. The most notable attempts were the G10 International Summit and Faction Debate & Vote.
So far, these have yet to mitigate these issues. As they're usually ran by factions, people eventually lose confidence in them, due to feeling there is bias in their rule making. While there were attempts to create a neutral regulator, there has yet to be one truly ran by a neutral party.
==Continental Claim System==
Previously, for role play and organizational reasons, claims in Garry's Mod were broken down by gamemodes, then servers. Since factions and territory changed so often, the only feasible system was drawing faction neutral territories and laying claim to servers rather than landmass. This was mostly maintained by the New Ares Treaty Organization and the G10 International Summit, and was called the "Continental Claim System", It has fallen out of favor, partially due to NATO's departure and G10 shutting down, although it was poorly maintained even before these events took place.
In the modern day, a majority of servers that see combat are owned by faction leaders or faction-aligned people, with a few neutral servers occasionally having fights break out.
