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 being a part 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 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
3) Being helpful to others (particularly new players), you were new once too
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
8] Not trying to enforce our rules in the server and portray yourselves as Admins, but rather jot down key information, and report asshats to an Admin here, post in the Forums under "Report a Jerk" or PM an Admin with your complaint, and report. If you guys try to enforce the rules in the server, it often only makes the jerks worse, so just keep it fun, and we will "take out the trash"
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 new players when they see your Clan tag will think you are an admin - so be more careful not to bully or threaten any other players, for any violations of our rules - you will never see one of my Admins doing that, so I do not expect you to do it either.
You are welcome, and encouraged, to post in the "Report a Jerk" Section if someone is seriously spoiling your fun.
It is OK to politely inform (in a gentle way) about an established servers' rules, which vary slightly from server to server, but all of our servers always include these basic rules; "No Cheating, Cursing, or Asshatting".
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.
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 !!

Note: These Basic CLR Guidelines have remained essentially unchanged for many years.
My favorite line being.... Remember the score of a round is quickly forgotten, but the actions of others are remembered for a very, very long time.
I've been Alpha and will be Beta testing the Delta Force game. It's been really getting good reviews! Definitely a good Battlefield feel to it like the...
