 +
 +
*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.

: ''Spirit of the rule'' - This rule is a pretty run-of-the-mill for team-based FPS ( First Person Shooter ) games. It's universally considered in bad taste and bad form. It makes the game not fun to be shot in the back. The idea is to have fun, not have to worry about a chaotic free for all.

''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.

''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.
−
*Caveat being that the aircraft is in immediate danger and needs to act against that danger;
 
−
: ''Spirit of the rule'' - Issues have come up before where the infantry elements would come into a town only to find burning heaps of stone and metal and be forced into a kind of bug-hunt for that last soldier who's running around and generally waste time. While the aircraft are indeed powerful and useful, they can be used in such a way to remove all of the fun of engagement from ground elements. To this end, aircraft and artillery may only engage when called on.

−
*Drive around runways and landing pads;

*No vehicles are allowed in the Spawn Area;
 
−
*Use the heavy Lift area for lifting, NOT the landing pad area
 
−
*Do not Leave any vehicles on runways or landing pads;
 
−
: ''Spirit of the rule'' - There should never be vehicle traffic on an active runway. it causes dangerous situations in which friendly air and ground assets can be damaged. the exception being a supply vehicle being used for that purpose, in which case the driver should make his intentions clear and be wary of all air assets taking off and landing and give them the right of way
