Banter is fine. I'm pretty sure he means no spamming music/shouting "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER" etc.

Well these rules are more for randoms who might join Mumble than us, I see it.Spl1nter said:No music on mumble

Sometimes a sing-a-long etc is great fun, I admit. Thing is - we all know each other and will get to know each other better as we play. We'll know how to have fun, what good banter is, etc etc. We just want a rule that can stop someone joining our Mumble channel and blasting Slipknot without a care in the world.

If you want to throw up some smooth jazz between rounds, I'm down. I don't want to hear any got'damn death metal though.
I have no idea what sets "smooth" jazz apart from regular jazz. For that matter, the only thing I know about jazz is that it involves saxophones.

I really think we should make this the message that plays for kicks due to sexist/racist behavior.

these are not final, this is a draft mockup:

Bagged milk. It's an atrocity.
Cuban Legend said:
Kicked:
1. *line limited to one person per vehicle
5. Not sure squad locking is in
6. People can't choose to be squad leader, so we can't really punish them for not having a mic. Not having a mic in general would be kind of an impossible thing to punish for (most don't have them)
Banned:
5. Stat padding? Meaning getting kills without trying to capture flags? Hard to police 64 people to make sure they are all contributing to flag capping in some way.
Rules look good otherwise.

thx for the feedback

- downgraded Squad-Leading with a mic to a suggestion.
TO DO: Add a note for where to appeal bans (probably shorten the #6 under bans)
edit:
ah thanks. so whats the consensus on this. we dont want 2 guys going into a squad and locking it just so they can fly a chopper together alone or ride a tank alone, its a waste of the limited number of empty squad slots that we want to be filled, right?Menelaus said:squad lock = private? if so, it's in.
also, regarding the aircraft line thing, what is the point of restricting the line to just 1 person , why not let people get in line if they want to and are obeying the line system?
Menelaus said:
I meant for the single seaters. Do you really want more than two people standing in the base doing nothing, waiting for the jet? If that's both teams, we're talking at least six, maybe more people (out of 64) that aren't contributing constantly. If not a limit of one per single-seat vehicle, then a limit of two?
For multi-seat vehicles, more than one person should be able to camp them.
(Oh stat padding meaning cheating, okay. Definitely out.)
As for squad locking, I'd have to think about what that would mean for gameplay.
scogoth said:
We'd force spawns. No one could just sit dead waiting for a jet. What happened in the beta was that the pilot of a jet would die, then sit dead until the jet respawned, and jump in it in front of people that were waiting on the ground. I did this myself plenty.
We couldn't keep people from spawning into a jet within the window they are alloted to remain dead, but the line would just have to wait until that jet crashed. The person spawning into the jet wouldn't be penalized.
Menelaus said:
One per jet. There are usually pretty clearly defined runways, with two lanes in them. One person in one lane, one in the other, back where the jets spawn. Those two would get the jet, and then someone would replace them in line on the runway while they flew around.
@Cuban - I was thinking of just having people e-mail for ban resolution. I'm not sure if we'll be able to host a forum on whatever "hosting" is provided to us by Multiplay, but I can set one up if need be via a third party site, and embed it into a page on our blog.
LordCanti said:
The line idea is not good. I've seen it and BF2 and it leads to half the team sitting at base being useless. Jets are spawn anyway so I really wouldn't worry about this. Just don't implement a line because it's idiotic in practice even though the idea sounds like it works.
Enforcing this is even harder, no admin is going to sit staring at the runway to see whos breaking the rules like a school teacher.

I love the fact there's an in-depth debate on the etiquette of waiting for vehicles.
This is why I'm an infantry man. I run and gun, dude. Might hop in a tank if it's sat there.

It would actually be pretty easy!
Just ferry the troops back and front and request transport via in-game chat.
Pilots would have to be pretty good with the maps' flanking routes and places with no direct AA fire.
From there, the pilots just need to stay alive and ferry back and forth troops!
If you guys want to actually set this up with some serious thought, then the people who have the most unlocks or experience in the jet should be the ones flying. There is no point in waiting in line when someone with heatseekers and laser guided missiles is not getting the jet while a guy with no unlocks is.
This would be fine because jets aren't even that good anymore. They've been nerfed so badly that a good group of stingers can pretty much render the entire team's air power useless.

This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.Spl1nter said:

If we are coordinating like a clan, then some people are obviously going to have better flying skills then others. I'm not sure how competitive you want this server to be, but generally in BF2142 clan matches we would have designated fliers among our team which worked out perfectly.
Just saying that the unlock system pretty much makes guys without unlocks useless. I don't think it's good game design but that's what the devs chose.
