SQUAD RULES – COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

This forum has been created as a template for suggested rules that’ll likely be implmented within the Squad Server. This forum is to gain community input whether new rules need to be added, adjusted or removed completely and to give further clarity on what each rule stands for and how admin’s will deal with these.

 

GENERAL RULES

Follow all PowerBits Gameteam Rules of Conduct. Admin discretion is used on all cases. Microphone-Spamming is allowed, if a player asks you to stop, you must abide by this. Any loud music, background noise, etc is prohibited and not allowed. English is the official language of our community, and as such all communication both VOIP and TEXT chat must be in English. You are permitted to speak in native language within Squads as long as it is stated within the Squad Name (i.e. INF Squad (RUS)). Advertising and recruiting of any kind is not allowed. Streamers are required to use an overlay hiding all team specific information to prevent stream-sniping. Streamers can be removed from the server if this isn’t followed. All users are encouraged to actively help balance the teams, and must do so if asked by an admin. PBS members are further encouraged to balance teams before members of the public.

 

GAMEPLAY RULES

Squad Leaders must use a Squad Leader Kit, have a working microphone and communicate with it. Basic English is a REQUIREMENT to be a Squad Leader. Squad Leaders are able to change kits temporarily for repairing, building, etc but MUST change back to a Squad Leader role as soon as it is possible. You may be required to notify Command or an Admin of this if this becomes an issue from other Squads. Do not create a squad without the intention to lead it. Squad-Baiting is not permitted. If the Squad Leader leaves, or passes on the Squad Leader role, take the Lead and grab a Squad Leader kit, or if you are not comfortable with this, try to find someone in your squad or text chat who is willing to lead the Squad. If no one is willing to lead the squad, this must be disbanded. Squads are unable to locked with less than 4 members, unless you are a specialised squad (MBT, IFV, LOGI, HELI, etc). Soft Locking (Kicking members constantly) is not allowed. Teamwork is a requirement. If you are obstructing gameplay, failing to communicate, you may be removed from the server. Players must join a Squad, any player who is unassigned will be considered AFK and automatically kicked from the server. You are welcome to rejoin. Asset wasting is prohibited. This includes, but not limited to, abandoning vehicles, driving vehicles into deep water, intentionally crashing/destroying friendly vehicles, digging down friendly assets, etc. Main camping is permitted, as long as it is outside of a 200m radius. This means, any vehicle inside a 200m radius of spawn, is not to be engaged, unless you are engaged first by that vehicle or Soldier. (This doesn’t mean that you are able to engage everything you see. Once the threat is down, cease fire until they are outside the 200m radius) (size of a FOB Creation Marker. This marker MUST be placed on the Enemy forces main base flag). Malicious teamkilling is not permitted. If there is a dispute, notify the admins. Appologise for all accidental teamkills in all chat.

 

SQUADS AND VEHICLES

Commander – Commander is ONLY available to Infantry Squads. Infantry Squads – Squad Leaders must use any Squad Leader kit available. Able to lock with 4+ members. May take any vehicle not claimed by another squad and cannot claim any vehicles directly or indirectly. Vehicle Squads – Squad Leaders must use any Squad Leader kit available. Able to lock with 2+ members with a maximum of 4 members ONLY. May take a vehicle that they have claim over. MBT, IFV Squads – Squad Leaders must use Lead Crewman. Additionally they must have at least one Crewman along with the Lead Crewman. Able to lock with 2 members and have a maximum of 4 members in total. Squads can claim intended vehicles by using a Squad named “MBT” for Main Battle Tanks, “IFV” for any vehicle which requires crewman kits, “MGS” for Mobile Gun Systems (Sprut, ZTD05, etc). Squads named MBT, MGS, etc must not use specialist kits (MG, HAT, CE, Sapper, etc.), IFV’s are exempt from this. Logistic Squads – Squad Leaders must use a Squad Leader kit. Able to lock with 1 member and have a maximum of 3 members in total. May only take logistics vehicles and transport trucks. Have no valid claim over any other vehicles. Helicopter Squads – Squad Leaders must use Lead Pilot. Able to lock with 1 member and have a maximum of 4 members in total. May only take helicopters. Squads can claim a helicopter by using a Squad named “HELI” for Helicopter, or specific name for said helicopter. Vehicle claim is fIrst come, first served. If you have a valid claim and another squad has a valid claim. It is the Squad who is at that vehicle first who gets the claim. Light Vehicles – These are vehicles that don’t require creman kits, such as MATV, TIGR, etc. These CANNOT be name-claimed. These can be used by Infantry, MBT, MGS, IFV Squads. Vehicle name claim – Multiple vehicle names cannot be made by a single Squad name (i.e Squad 3 (IFV, MBT), etc). Squads with multiple vehicle names have no claim on any vehicles. One-Manning – One-manning crewman vehicles is not permitted. This is reviewed on a case by case situation and users are permitted to RETURN a crewman ONLY vehicle back to MAIN BASE. They are prohibited from engaging the enemy.

 

SEEDING RULES

HAB emplacements are prohibited until LIVE All emplacements are prohibited (Mortars, HMGs, etc) Only LOGISTICS and TRANSPORT vehicles are permitted. Both teams must fight over the MIDDLE flag and cannot progress further until seeding has finished. Admins can request any structures are dug down if they are harming the seeding process. Additionally, admins can require users to stop using a vehicle.

Vehicle claims – “In the event of multiple vehicles variations, the more specific claim takes priority. For example, “PARS MK19” takes priority over “PARS” if there is more than 1 type of Pars.”

We might need to readdress the main camping rule, it can cause a lot of players to leave the server if they can’t get vehicles out of main. So I suggest we see how this goes, and admins can step in if its getting too difficult.

 

For seeding, I think a “Do not build HABs until the round is live” is also a good rule to have, stops people HAB spamming.

 

I also think a “All rules are at admins discretion” is good to add too.

 

Otherwise, I think the rules look good.

Looks more or less good, we can adapt as we go. Also on admin meetings

Some good suggestions have been made here and I have updated the list to have the following;

 

• Admin discretion is used on all cases.
• HAB emplacements are prohibited until LIVE

 

Additionally, a rulepage will be created as well to signify what the rules are for the Squad community server and will be available via discord and through the dropdown menu
