[1.0 | Introduction]
This thread lists off all the currently active rules that are enforced at the Original Capital. Players from all sides must abide to these rules regardless of their position in their team. Rule breakers must be reported to admins that are present in the server immediately so that they may be dealt with accordingly. Small offenses normally result in warnings (such as offensive remarks) but other offenses can lead straight to kicks or bans depending on the severity and intention behind the action committed by the rule breaker. Either way, enjoy the read!
[2.0 | Celvestian Philosophy]
“Even the darkest of warriors have a heart of gold.”
“We’re a family. We’re a game studio. We’re war enthusiasts. We’re a role play group. We’re a community. We’re a hangout. We’re everything. We’re Celvestia.”
[3.0 | Rules]
Here are the rules both the Celvestians and Collective shall acknowledge in order to have a legitimate and decent raid/defense.
Only CCL Verified can host defenses. Here’s the official list of CCL Verified members.
No server hopping. Don’t be annoying.
1 hour raid limit (4200 seconds total which is 1 hour and 10 minutes. The 10 minutes is for Celvestia to rally up for the defense).
No alternate accounts allowed to raid.
Message a CCL Verified member 10 minutes before you raid.
To win for the Collective: You must capture the terminal and hold it for 1,200 seconds to win.
Celvestians win when there’s less than 5 Collective left or when the server raid limit has been reached or when they hold the term till 1200 seconds. Three different ways for us to win. So even if Celvestia has the term at 450/1200 and the server time has been reached, Celvestia wins anyways. If Retruvians have the term in overtime and Celvestia recaptures it, then it’s a Celvestian victory.
If the raid limit reaches 1 hour and the Collective still hold the terminal then we will go into overtime. If the Celvestians recapture the terminal in overtime then Celvestia wins.
No Glitching of ANY sort, there are no loopholes here. NO GLITCHING.
Do not camp teleporters and do not kill people as soon as they spawn in from a teleporter. Let them walk out of the teleporter first. Repeat offense will result in a ban.
If there’s a server that is official and active and multiple servers are formed following the first servers creation, Celvestia has the right to shut down the other servers if deemed unofficial for over 3 minutes considering the first server (the official one) is what the Celvestians will be aiming for. Here’s an Example: Vaktovia raided Celvestia in a 28 player server, JC and VE (whom didn’t warn us at all) invaded, forming a second server. They broke three rules automatically: No pre-flooding, no ESR, and they did NOT warn a CCL Verified host 10 minutes beforehand. Since Celvestia/Vaktovia were aiming for the first server, no one went to the second one because the first server was the agreed upon one. So basically what I am saying is: We have the right to shutdown unofficial servers.
Do not flood the server right after you message a CCL Verified host (with them NOT approving the raid/defense). What I’m saying is don’t message the CCL Verified host and then raid a few minutes after where the Celvestians are not present still (you need the CCL Verified host to validate the raid/defense), you must message them back saying, “Where are you? We are waiting at your base, it’s been 10 minutes. Are you able to defend?” If they don’t reply then they’ve most likely gone offline or are busy in-game. If they reply saying “We can’t defend.” Please ask them “How come?”, usually it’s because of timezone difficulties.
Exploiting and hacking deems the raid invalid and the server will be immediately shutdown.
No uniform raiding, example: don’t raid Celvestia while wearing a Celvestian uniform. Wear your clans uniform with pride!
Keep flaming minimum, you have 2 chances. Repeat offense will result in a ban.
NO PROFANITY. I am very strict with this rule. No warnings.
No spamming. If the same person repeats a specific phrase over 3 times they will be kicked.
You are not allowed to help the Collective raid OFFICIALY (Meaning if a clan is raiding Celvestia, not the actual Collective group itself) while you are a Celvestian unless permitted by the CCL Verified host, otherwise you can’t raid with them. Punishment is severe due to this being considered betrayal.
Raid cool down is 30 minutes. After 30 minutes you may raid again. Just be sure to warn the CCL Verified host 10 minutes beforehand. This differs during wartime.
No Auto-wins. I can’t stress how important this rule is. How you win: Capture and hold the terminal for 1,200 seconds till the victory message shows up.
Harassment and abuse is NOT allowed at all. Usually 2 warnings given.
For an official raid there must be 10 Celvestians present to defend.
For an official raid there must be 5 Collective present to raid.
When the raid begins, PLEASE present a valid picture/video with 10+ Celvestians and 5+ Collective present, otherwise your victory is invalid and ignored.
Your victory picture MUST include the leader-board with the Celvestian team shown fully, otherwise it will be ignored.
For an official victory, PLEASE take a picture/video of both the points at 100% and the victory message.
Spawn camping is allowed.
No spawn killing. If you are caught inside the spawning area you will be warned once then kicked. Repeat offense results in a ban.
Do not kill Civilians! If you do so you will be kicked without hesitation, unless the civilian is attacking you, in that case, defend yourself. Send a video/screenshot to a Kernalvus+ or the CCL Verified host so that person may be removed from the server.
No Civilian raiding. First offense is a kick, second offense is a ban. If a whole clan Civilian raids or asks allies to Civilian raid, that clan will be kicked from the base, repeat offense is a permanent ban.
No Pre-flooding!
No Empty Server Raiding!
[DIRECTED TO CELVESTIA ONLY]
High ranks, do not admin abuse! You will be severely punished if you do so.
CCL Verified Celvestians can host defenses/raids. No one else.
Do not kill Civilians or you will be kicked. Repeat offense results in a ban.
Do not raid the Capital unless a Practice Raid is taking place. If caught breaking this rule you will be demoted and kicked. Repeat offense is a second demotion and ban.
Do not threaten your fellow Celvestians, allies, or even Collective. This applies to the no flaming or harassment/abuse rule.
We expect all of you to follow our rules. Failing to do so will result in consequence.
[4.0 | Conclusion]
This list will be updated continuously so that it promotes a fair and safe atmosphere for both sides to enjoy. We encourage Celvestians to enforce these rules on their own time as well and not depend on admins to save the day. The same goes for outsiders who wish to take part in raiding activities. But sometimes outsiders just don’t listen. It’s the circle of the ban hammer life cycle. Anyways, stay true to your heart of gold Celvestian.
