Hi and We are not a clan but a community of fun loving gamers, and this is what Cain himself says about it all
Welcome to Cain's Lair !!
I'm glad you are having fun here, glad you dropped by our Forums, and glad you have an interest in becoming a member of our Community.
Cain's Lair is a gaming Community, a collection of people who love games, and hate the BS normally associated with on-line gaming (things like excessive profanity, racial insults, sexual harassment, asshatting, and having to put up with people who act like jerks, simply to annoy others).
Cain's Lair Regulars {CLR}s value sportsmanship, civility, and enjoy good teamwork. They love playing here, making new friends here, supporting the server and its ideals, and they always treat others with respect - even when they do not deserve it.
If you agree with all the above, and want to join and be a loyal supporter of our Community - of like-minded people - attach and wear the {CLR} tag with pride and set a good example for others in the server by:
1) Becoming our friend, and a frequent positive poster in our Forums, and hopefully a monthly financial contributor to help keep our servers on-line
2) Not accusing others of cheating, or whining with your suspicions that others are cheating - primarily because they killed YOU. If you strongly suspect someone of cheating, jot down their information, collect a screenshot, and PM me or one of the Game Admins in these Forums.
3) Being helpful to others (particularly new players), you were new once too. Take the time in-game to answer basic questions others may ask; "How do I use VOIP?", "How do I type chat to only my teammates?", etc.
4) Displaying good sportsmanship (Say gs, and gg, etc), and being positive when dealing with other players, even if they are doing something that annoys you
5) Treating other players with respect (No profanity, racial slurs, ethnic slurs, gender bashing, or harassment of any type). Not calling players n00bs or other derogatory names of any sort
6) Not participating in lame gameplay or tactics, and keeping a team oriented focus
7) Using VOIP in a positive fashion to help your teammates win the game, not spamming VOIP up with annoying non-game related chatter, and/or whining about maps, gameplay modes, spamming, etc.
8 ) Do not attempt to enforce our server rules, or act as if you are a Game Admin. If someone is using profanity or being a jerk, you can certainly ask them nicely to stop, because it offends you, but don't ask them to stop because "this server does not allow cursing". This will often lead to back and forth bickering and make the situation worse. Best to simply note the player, and make a post in our "Report a Jerk" section then we will take it from there.
Note: The {CLR} tag, to be displayed properly, tag uses squiggly brackets {}.
Remember this, if you decide to become a CLR then you are expected to set a good, positive example by your actions and gameplay, and work to make the game fun for others.
Be aware that players who are new to the server will think you are an admin (because you wear the {CLR} tag) - but very few around here actually are Game Admins, and even they do not bully or threaten any other players.
You are welcome, and encouraged, and encouraged, to post in the "Report a Jerk" Section if someone is seriously spoiling your fun.
Acting like a jerk (asshat) can and will get any {CLR} removed from these servers, just like anyone else, in fact, probably removed more quickly because you are expected to set the best possible example for other players here.
Since you now have a responsibility to positively support and promote our server, {CLR}s who are caught asshatting, or breaking any server rules will subject to permanent ban, and removal from the server and these Forums, as quickly as anyone else, possibly quicker. If I see CLRs using profanity, or creating a hostile environment in our servers, I will ban them from the Forums and the server.
Remember the score of a round is quickly forgotten, but the actions of others are remembered for a very, very long time.
Keep it light, and keep it fun for yourself and for others !!
