RULES

If you have never played before or are new to the server, please join as a civilian. This role requires the least amount of knowledge regarding the mission and all of its particular rules. ---------------------------------Know the difference between laws and server rules. Break a law: Go to jail in Takistan. Break a server rule: Once: Verbal Warning Twice: Kick Repeated: Temporary Ban / Permanent Ban ----------------------------------

Class Overview
Civilians: Civilians are the citizens of Takistan. They must follow all of the laws that the Takistan government has in place, break them and you risk getting a fine or doing time in jail! United nations: The UN is a peace organisation and therefore they do not commit crimes nor start wars, you're here to keep the peace in Takistan. Cops: Cops enforce the laws in Takistan and can ticket OR arrest people who do not follow them. Any cop who breaks a cop rule will be asked to go civilian until an admin feels that the player is able to play cop well again. Being a cop requires more involved role playing and how the game plays out depends on your best judgment. For example, a cop shouldnt arrest someone who was speeding for 25 minutes (max jail time, reserved only for the worst crimes), because that would never happen in real life.

General Server Rules

1.) No cheating, glitching, or hacking; doing so will result in an instant ban. 2.) No spamming global chat; this includes complaining about other players. 3.) Cops and UN's must be in teamspeak. However, its recommended all players join it. TS3 can be downloaded here: http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads 4.) Players must follow all general class-specific rules. 5.) No respawning while restrained or being stunned. 6.) No Deathmatching even if you're pissed off or under any circumstances. 7.) You may never run someone over on purpose. 8.) Strictly forbidden to crash aviation vehicles into other vehicles, does not matter if they are flying or driving. Example: (Crashing a C-130 into a political target would be allowed)

Communication Rules:
1.) No using teamspeak to spy on the other classes; instant-ban. 2.) Joining an opponents teamspeak channel to gather information about an opponent is cheating, but you may enter to resolve an issue in-game or out of game. 3.) No giving out important information like enemy positions or where you died while you are dead. 4.) No spamming any TS or global channel. 5.) Try to use global chat only when absolutely needed. 6.) Players who spam global chat will be warned; if the player does not stop they will be kicked or banned. 7.) No annoying voice transformations; they are not creative, but plain annoying. Civilians can be an informant for police and vice versa. **Suggestion: Having a microphone can enhance role playing and can save your ass quite often, due to the quick response time of your communication. **
