Rules

# **DDCS Server Rules:**

## **Please read the below and ensure you accept and understand them fully:**

* Posts that aren't allowed anywhere are ones that reinforce social structures of domination related to race, age, religion, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or body size.
* Take heated discussions to PM's or another discord.
* Conduct on DDCS Discord and also communities outside of DDCS is required to play on the DDCS network. Defamation/hijacking of other peoples servers & threads are grounds for dismissal.
* Ramming on purpose is grounds for dismissal. Just don't do it.
* Please try to be respectful and mindful of the work undertaken by others to provide you with this free experience/content.
* No Cheating, if you see something let a community moderator or admin know, don't start a flame war in chat, let us resolve the situation discreetly.
* Behave and Be Respectful, this community is made up of many different types/walks of people.
* Be constructive, give us suggestions on how to make something better, we want to hear why you don't like it but need the solution that goes with it.
* Try to balance the teams when you can, there is only so much we can do server wise.
* Understand that this system is constantly getting worked on and being always being balanced.
* If you want to control a combat arms vehicle, ask for permission first from the owner! It is up to him to allow you or not, if he says no, sling load your own or ask politely if someone will, usually someone will step up. People work VERY hard building convoys,. hours at a time!
* Anyone with a 300 ping or higher will be subject to a checks, if I deem'd too laggy you will be kick off until you fix your connection, this is to prevent people's aircraft from "JUMPING" out of the way of incoming missiles!

## **The following is forbidden and could result in a ban:**

***Intentionally ramming ground units or crates with an air vehicle:***

* We are all guilty sometimes of over-committing to a gun run, however, if it becomes a regular occurrence we will not hesitate to remove your server access privileges. Conversely ramming air units with ground units is allowed and very entertaining.

***Ramming Aircraft with other Aircraft:***

* While you might mistake the Mig-21bis for looking like a surface to air missile it is not, and while you may spent your nights out chasing something you will never catch, you are not a seeker.

***Hiding units inside buildings:***

* Do not do this, you will be banned if you are caught. Path-finding, lag and syncs can cause issues but if you find a unit in a build please drive it out of it.

***Shooting through or out of buildings you are inside with ground units:***

* It's an exploit, don't do it.

***Driving or setting way-points to a location that the vehicle cannot fit such as narrow towns:***

* Doing so will cause path finding issues and eventually kill the server requiring a reboot, be careful with way-points and set them around these dense area's not through them.

***Sending ground units through deep thick forests is forbidden:***

* It creates path-finding issues, turns units into bay-blades. Edges and think thickets are okay but apply some common sense and don't be surprised if the trees start speaking Vietnamese and they randomly "explode".

***Anything else that we deem to be an exploit, such as disabling tree's, buildings or other unsportsmanlike conduct:***

* Don't play the victim if you get banned for quite clearly exploiting something significant and ruining the experience for others.

***It is forbidden to bomb runways, taxi ways and parking spots with smart weapons, these include any weapon with GPS or INS guidance:***

* Just a simple request which stops airbases being covered with more craters than a teenagers face.

***Do not be a vigilante, tell a community moderator or admin!***

* If you have an issue with someone, collect evidence and write a PM to a community moderator or admin, do not take it to general, start venting in game chat or voice comm's. At all times be civil, mature and respectful. Sarcasm and tone do not convey appropriately in the written form. If it's a private issue with their general character, we are not your mother, ignore them or take it to a private chat.

## ***Win Conditions:***

```
All main airbases (ones that have fighters) must be captured. Due to some potent ideological difference between the Blue & Red coalitions surrender is not acceptable, this is an absolute fight to the death. The absolute destruction of your enemies and their assets is demanded of you, deserters will be shot, survivors will be shot again, and again, and again..
