General Rules (Game conduct)
Reporting
You MUST report your games within 1 HOUR of the games will void. This is so that the ratings are as true as possible
DoN
(Double or Nothing), is NOT allowed!
Lag-outs
If one player lags out during a match, and the remaining players on each team can come to an agreement as to how to replay the game or continue, they may do so. If the player who lagged out is not seen in AG during the 10 minutes following the lag-out, the opposing team is entitled to the win depending on the state of the game.
In the event of a lag-out in which one team is clearly going to win (as judged by the Staff), this team is entitled to the win. If the Staff finds it uncertain who the winner will be at the time immediately before the lag-out, the Staff will either issue a void game (probably to be replayed), or issue that the game be replayed with handicaps. Such handicaps would be decided entirely at the Staff’s discretion, based upon the health, strategic options, weapons, etc. available to each team before the lag-out occurred. They would NOT be issued based on the skill of either team.
If a player on one team lags out during the first game, and the game is replayed, but a player on the same team lags out during the replayed game as well, then the opponents receive an auto-win depending once again on the state of the game.
Quitting
If a player quits without finishing all of the agreed games, and has no valid reason as to why they’re quitting, the unplayed games are an auto-loss for the player’s team. Examples of invalid reasons include having to eat dinner, spilling water on your keyboard, falling asleep, going to the bathroom, etc.
Cheating
If anyone is caught aliasing in XTS/XTC, they will be banned for 1 month. If repeated the player could face a permanent ban.
If someone is caught cheating via a program such as Silkworm or x-Speed, they will have that particular game voided. Be banned from the current season and following season. If they carry on cheating they will face a permanent ban. This includes using "wiptistean" (wwp).
Glitches
Glitches are illegal and are viewed as cheating, and thus the Staff will rule the game as void or auto-loss at their discretion. More detail to follow.
Agreements
Any agreements supported or condoned by the rules must appear accepted by all parties involved within the game’s replay; otherwise the Staff will handle complaints in reference to such agreements as if played according to standard rules. At no time can a player intentionally break any rule. If it is flagrantly clear this has happened, the player in question will receive an auto-loss or voided game at the Staff’s discretion.
In-game conduct
Firstly, spamming is not allowed in-game. This means no rapidly typing garbage or pointless material. Likewise, insulting other players heinously and/or repeatedly is never allowed; do not get into flame wars. If arguments escalate, all players involved may be punished if they perpetuate the argument. For one player who verbally abuses another, that player may be penalized up to 2 points from their XTS standing if playing an XTS game, and their clan may be penalized up to 2 points if it is an XTC game.
