No offensive or disruptive behavior All support assets must be on call and TeamSpeak 3 You must play your role and cooperate with your team Specific definitions of ARMA 3 - Public Server Rules The following is a numbered list of all server rules that are in accordance to the list of section 2. Each rule will have a subsection explaining the intentions of the rule and specific cases of the rule. 1. No fratricide or destruction of friendly equipment Fratricide is the killing of one's own forces in war and is used to describe 'friendly fire', or commonly called 'TK’ing' or 'Team Killing'. This means the purposeful or accidental killing of another player or friendly equipment is not allowed. This also means that acts of “revenge killing” are against this rule. The only action a player needs to take against someone who killed them is reporting said team killer to our Military Police or a Game Admin. Spirit of the rule - This rule is a common rule for team-based First Person Shooter games. Team killing is universally considered in bad taste and bad form. The idea is to have fun and not to have to worry about a chaotic free for all. 2. No offensive or disruptive behavior. No racism nor sexism of any kind. Any racist or discriminating remarks or names will result in an instant ban. No political or religious discussions or references including names. No disrespect towards other players or admins. No disrespect towards the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. No disrespect towards deceased 7th Cavalry members. No disrespectful or offensive abbreviations. No elitist attitude towards others or taunting. No mic spamming. No trolling or griefing. Discharge or firing of any weapon on base is strictly prohibited. No vehicles parked on the runway or landing pads. Spirit of the rule - The 7th Cavalry tries to create a fun environment without drama where people can just get together, play, and have fun in a tactical environment. 3. All support assets must be on call and Teamspeak. This means the pilot/operator of any aircraft, artillery, mortars, or UAV. TeamSpeak 3 meaning 7th Cavalry's TeamSpeak 3 server. They must also have a working microphone, and be willing to coordinate over TeamSpeak. Support assets, except tanks, are not to engage the enemy on their own accord. Enemy air assets and enemy anti-air are the only exceptions to this rule. They are allowed to be engaged to make way for safe transport to the AO for friendly troops. All attack aircraft are to maintain a safe holding area, pattern, or stay on base until called in to maintain the longevity of the aircraft. Artillery, including mortars, must remain silent until called to fire by infantry. Assets in immediate danger that need to act against danger can defend themselves to preserve their lives or asset, but shall not provoke the engagement. Spirit of the rule - This rule is meant to help preserve some enemy for friendly infantry to still fight when there are powerful support assets like aircraft or artillery in play, as well as the coordination of those assets with ground forces to foster organized gameplay. Fire support and other force multipliers, unless specifically approved above, are on call until a call for fire is made. This is done to balance the power of support assets with the infantry. 4. You must play your role and cooperate with your team. “Lone wolfing” should be avoided whenever possible. Follow the instructions of your Squad Leader and/or mission commander. Play the role you’re slotted for. If you wish to change your role you must reslot. For example, if you were a pilot and wish to fight on the ground you must reslot as an infantryman. No AFK’ing in limited slots. Spirit of the rule - “Lone wolfing” can cause enemies to spawn in remote locations away from the main group and thus detract from server resources, as they are limited. “Lone wolfing” should be avoided when possible to ensure cohesion across all roles, to help foster tactical realism and organized gameplay, and to ensure the mission file is running as intended. Arma 3 - Training Server Rules The Training Server is first and foremost an area for 7th Cavalry members to practice skills that will be utilized in either operations or public spaces. There will always be a 7th Cavalry member responsible for the server. No public members. Specific definitions of ARMA 3 - Training Server Rules 1. The Training Server is first and foremost an area for 7th Cavalry members to practice skills that will be utilized in either operations or public spaces. Simply put: RTC > Unit Training > Fun-time. The above hierarchy of use shall always be observed, however, this does not mean that two groups can't be doing two things at once. Spirit of the rule - Simply as the hierarchy of use states, the training server is first and foremost the 7th Cavalry 1st Battalion training server; everything else comes secondary to this mission. RTC will always have priority of this server during the scheduled training times (check with RTC for currently scheduled bootcamps), as they are responsible for replenishing and growing the ranks of the 7th Cavalry, and they will not be hindered in this mission. 2. There will always be a 7th Cavalry member responsible for the server. Whenever the server is running, there will be at least one member that is in charge of the operations of all members in the server. Generally speaking, this member will be the operational admin or the training admin. This member is responsible for all conduct on the server. Spirit of the rule - Responsibility of use of 7th Cavalry assets always needs to fall on someone. As such, before entering the server as a group, either the ranking officer/NCO assumes this responsibility, or a pre-designated member of the group needs to be responsible (such as when there are NCOs running trainings for officers, etc). 3. No public members. No public members. Members of allied clans are allowed to attend events if first approved by the regimental commander. Spirit of the rule - Being as the servers are for 7th Cavalry members, as a matter of privilege for those of the yellow and black, public players are not welcome in these servers. Allied clans are allowed to visit the grounds if prior to the event the Regimental Commander provides written permission for them to attend.

Scope of the Rules of Engagement This document is a compendium of the rules of the Squad servers. If a rule is not listed in this document it does not exist and is not enforceable. Each rule will have specific definitions as well as an elaboration of its intent. By the end of this document, no question should remain as to what a rule means and how it applies to the player. Squad – Rules of Engagement (ROE) No team killing. Do not intentionally waste assets. No offensive behavior. No camping the main base. All Squad Leaders must have a microphone and utilize an SL kit and communicate in English. Do not play unassigned. No soloing vehicles Vehicle claims are by squad name No Squad baiting. No locked public infantry Squads Do not recruit for non-7Cav communities on our server (Perm Ban). Specific definitions of Squad Server Rules The following numbered list of all server rules are in accordance with the list of above. Each rule has a subsection explaining the intent of the rule. 1. No Team Killing.---- The purposeful killing of a teammate is not allowed on this server - Accidents should be avoided Intentionally Team Killing a 7th Cavalry Admin while actively engaged in admin duties will result in an instant ban from the server If you accidentally Team Kill or hurt a team member apologize immediately in All Chat (J by default) Spirit of the rule - Intentionally team killing other players is detrimental to the spirit of team play. While friendly fire is a reality on the battlefield, it is unacceptable and should be avoided. 2. Do not intentionally waste assets.---- This includes purposeful disregard and gross negligence. A purposeful disregard example: Using a logistics truck as a personal taxi to the front and dumping it. A Gross Negligence example: Flying a helicopter in a live match despite having no idea how to actually fly. Other examples at Admin discretion. Spirit of the rule - This rule is similar in spirit to the first rule. There's already enough concern with the enemy trying to destroy that armor or aviation asset. 3. No offensive behavior.---- No racism nor sexism of any kind. Any racist or discriminating remarks or names will result in an instant ban; No political or religious discussions or references including names; No disrespect towards other players or admins; No disrespect towards the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment; No disrespect towards the deceased; No disrespectful or offensive abbreviations; No elitist attitude towards others or taunting; No mic spamming, including music; No trolling; Spirit of the rule - The 7th Cavalry tries to create a fun environment without drama where people can just get together, play and have fun in a tactical environment. 4. No camping the Main Base---- Intentionally choking the Main Base, Main Roads or blocking all areas of egress from Main base is against the rules; There is no set distance, all Calls will be at admin discretion. If you are told to move away, you will be expected to move away as soon as possible; This rule does not apply to HAB’s/Rally points; Spirit of the rule - This rule is about fair competition. We want everyone to have fun, therefore everyone should get the opportunity to fight back. If you see that the enemy is unable to get out of their spawn area you need to fall back; if you don´t you are ruining their fun. 5. All Squad Leaders must have a microphone, utilize the SL kit and communicate in English.---- Squad Leaders must have a microphone to communicate with their squad and other Squad Leaders; Squad Leaders must utilize an SL kit in order to utilize all functions and assets of the position; Using text chat only is not acceptable; All communication must be in English; Failing to do so will result in being kicked from the squad; Spirit of the rule - It is too difficult to lead while using text chat only, voice communication must be used to be an effective leader. Not having an SL kit also prohibits the squad from placing down required assets for organized play. 6. Do not play unassigned.---- Commonly called "lone-wolfing". You must join a Squad, if they are full, wait for a new one or start a new one. Follow your Squad Leaders orders, they have the discretion to kick you from the squad for not following orders. All communication must be in English. Failing to do so will result in admin intervention Spirit of the rule -You need to be part of your squad and team to be able to contribute to the objectives, "lone-wolfing" does not contribute to that. This also helps us keep AFK players off the server. 7. No Soloing Vehicles---- Vehicles which require a Crewman slot to operate must have two persons crewing it. Any Light armored/Reconnaissance vehicle with an onboard weapon system may be subject to admin discretion. Helicopters and ALL logistical vehicles are excluded. Spirit of the rule - You should be trying to avoid the wastage of vehicle assets in Squad, if the vehicle has room for a driver and gunner, you’ll be most effective with a driver and gunner. 8. Vehicles must be claimed by Squad name.---- Vehicles are claimed by Squad name - first person to create a squad with the vehicle name, lays rightful claim to that vehicle. Naming conventions that are acceptable include - MBT, Heli, BMP. A generic name such as “Armour” is not acceptable. Spirit of the rule- First come first served is the fairest method for vehicle squads. If you want that vehicle make the squad name suit that. We can easily arbitrate this rule by looking at the squad number rather than who spawned and ran to the vehicle first. 9. No Squad baiting.---- Creating a squad and then leaving or promoting another player is not allowed. Spirit of the rule - Creating a squad out of frustration and then leaving the SL role is not acceptable. If you don't intend to lead a squad, wait until another squad opens. It wastes time and inevitably leads to a squad without an SL or just ends up being disbanded. 10. No locked public infantry Squads.---- The only squads that are allowed to Lock are: Any Vehicle Squad Admins on Duty Mortar/Logistics Squads must be named as such Any TAGGED community squad above 5 members Any squad during the staging phase waiting for friends (must be unlocked by Live) Spirit of the rule - We want to make sure that new players have a place to play on our server. Locked squads not only prevent that but team cohesion is damaged when there are 10+ 3-4 man locked squads. 11. Do not recruit for non-7Cav communities on our server (Perm Ban).---- Do not recruit for external communities on this server. This will be considered disrespect to the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment and punishable by permanent ban. Seeding Rules of Engagement (RoE) Until 20 v 20 players, the following rules apply. All Squad leaders must have a Microphone and use the SL role. Squad Leaders are to communicate and lead their section using tactical gameplay. Keep combat centered on the objectives. No building of Observation Towers during the seeding phase.
