Guidelines...

Updated May 10th 2011

First and foremost we play to have fun.

Our clan is very respectful of the gaming community and take pride in where we have made it today and the code of ethics that we adhere to. Any member that is caught hurtfully disrespecting the community, our clan mates, or anyone for that matter will be ejected from the clan immediately.

Fun is not pushing a single button and killing an entire team while standing in one position where no one can attack you. (OPK)

Fun is not flying around above a level and firing off rockets from our knives.

We pride ourselves on playing fair, (camping is a tactic lol) clean, and legit.

We may not win every clan match or game, but we like to have fun and enjoy the challenges.

We will report hackers with proof.

We will take note of questionable players.

We help our clan mates to the best of our abilities, whether that be taking control of their computers and setting up software to fully enjoy being part of the Old Dudes Rule clan or to assisting with whatever they may need assistance with.

Clan guidelines...

Discretionary age requirement (25+ recommended)
- We prefer a mature player that doesn't go around name calling, isn't constantly rushing everyone to start a game or to do something they want.
- There are 15 year olds out there that are more mature than some 20 year olds. That being said, we may still recruit you and test the waters so to speak and see how you interact with the gaming community.
Be active
- Play at least once a month, preferably more often.
- Use TeamSpeak to work together and call out positions.
- Learn the landmarks, and terms used.
Do not accuse your fellow clan mates of hacking, disrespect them, or call them names in a rude or hurtful tone, we trash talk but we do it with a smile.
Don't leave games 5 or 6 times during a match just cause you are having a bad game, play through, learn from and enjoy the challenge as tough as it might be.
Proof of being a good, clean, fair, legit player
- Many factors will be used to determine this requirement.
  (below are just a few)
  - Existing clan mates' opinions and judgement
  - We may recruit you and test you out a few games
  - We may even add you to the clan to take advantage of our clan site and features, but we may also revoke those rights after we have had time to get to know you, your personality, and gameplay.
We don't accept gifts as a way to move up the ranks of our clan.
- Gifting won't get you admin status or any real benefit.
- We may gift among ourselves, but it's never cause someone asked or was forced to.
  - Just something we may do out of the kindness of our hearts.
We don't beg for anything, if you get something then accept it and be grateful.
We don't lie to each other, there is no reason for it.
- Telling members that an admin said it was ok to upgrade them to admin status behind their back is inappropriate and grounds for removal.
  - You will be caught, we talk about everything before making such decisions.
