Rhode Island LAN Center Rules

Rhode Island LAN Center Rules:

Our gaming atmosphere has a mix of both genre, gender and ages. We ask that all players present themselves appropriately. We're all here to have fun, this is the rule!

  1. Racism, discrimination, sexual harassment of any kind will not be tolerated anywhere inside Rhode Island LAN Center (RILC). Be it verbal or written, on the website, server, or any service provided by RILC. There's no excuse for it.
  2. Respect other players. This, is required. Unwarrantedly accusing other players of cheating, excess whining about b.s. shots and the like are looked down upon. Try to treat your fellow gamers as you would like to be treated yourself. Take fights outside the network, along with your bad attitude.
  3. You are responsible for any damages incurred on RILC property.
  4. No, you missed, they killed you, get over it.

Game Server Rules:

To keep the gaming experience great, we must include some general gameplay rules to ensure all players enjoy their gaming with us. These simple, common sense rules are:

  1. Racism, discrimination, sexual harassment of any kind will not be tolerated anywhere inside the Rhode Island LAN Center (RILC) network. Be it verbal or written, on the website, server, or any service provided by RILC. There's no excuse for it.
  2. Respect other players. This, is required. Unwarrantedly accusing other players of cheating, excess whining about b.s. shots and the like are looked down upon. Try to treat your fellow gamers as you would like to be treated yourself. Take fights outside the network, along with your bad attitude.
  3. Cheating in any way, shape and form, in all the broadness, is NOT TOLERATED. This includes but is not limited to installing hacks or abusing known exploits in the game for any reason whatsoever. The game was designed to be played a certain way, this is how we play.
  4. Possibly the most unusual rule, HAVE FUN! RILC is geared around interactivity. Jump in the forums and chat with everyone on irc.gamesnet.net #rilancenter. Talk to the locals in our CS server at cs1.rigamers.com:27015. You might find the same value we did. It's more fun when you KNOW who you own!

Should you violate a rule (respective of offense):

  1. You will be warned. Most players respect that they're doing something against the good of gameplay and leave it at that. When you break rules 1 or 2, you will be warned about what you're doing and asked to stop. We have bad days just like everyone else. So do us a favor and just stop doing whatever you're warned not to do and enjoy the game.
  2. Still doing it after being warned? This time you're publicly warned, and booted from the server. Most players realize we're serious about our rules and decide not to come back.
  3. Should a player return again after being publicly warned, and kicked, and still continues to disrupt gameplay, this player is now banned until a determinable period is over. Depending on the offense, you can then be banned for 1 minute, up to banned indefinitely. Perm bans are decided upon by the RILC staff and network admins. No player will be permanently banned without the consent of the staff admins. This will ensure every player gets a fair chance.

Cheaters are banned on the spot with disclosed evidence from the banning admin. This can be in the form of logs with verified accusations of multiple people, detailed screenshots of the offense in action, or game demos of the offending players cheating. Cheaters will be banned permanently.

These rules are subject to change without notice. Our rules will always be in line with the spirit of the game. The rules are broad on the basis that RILC will host a range of gaming servers, on a range of games. The rules are simple, and apply universally. Occurrences of actions that deem admin intervention that are not outlined in these rules will be dealt with on the fly.
