  • RDM - Random Death Match
  • NLR - New Life Rule
  • FDA - Fading Door Abuse

  • Meta - Metagaming

RDM - Random Death Match
Do not RDM people; ever. You may not randomly kill people without a valid reason, invalid reasons include but are not limited to:

  • "He/She looked at me funny"
  • "He/She talks too much"
  • "They wouldn't leave me alone" (If you did not warn.)

Do not kill people when they leave your property or are not behind the KOS line.

For example:

  • If someone attempts to raid you and you kill him, it will NOT count as RDM.
  • If you just walk on the street, pull out your gun and kill someone without a reason at all, it will count as RDM.
  • If you don't like someone or you got killed recently by someone and you go back to him and kill him for revenge, maybe you even broke NLR and RDM.

NLR - New Life Rule
New life rule, this rule applies to you when you die, and means that you must not come back to the your death point within 5 minutes, doing so will result in a kick or ban.

You can not return to your base if you died defending it from a raid until the raid is over, this includes sniping from a distance or shooting at your base from the outside. You will notice that you are still being raided when people are telling you to go outside, you can see that your stuff is being destroyed or you can use a camera which you must have placed before the raid started.

For example:
Someone raids you, while you go back to your base he is already gone, however it haven't been 3 minutes yet, you broke NLR.
Someone raids you and you die. You have waited 5 minutes and go back to your base. On the way you see the guy who raided you, you pull out your gun and you kill him, you broke NLR.
Someone raids you and you die. You have waited 5 minutes and act towards the players who raided you as if nothing has happened, you didn't break NLR.
