General Rules:

-   Powergaming is not allowed! US can't reveal a civilian to be a Taliban without correct evidence. The only way a civilian can be revealed as a Taliban is through: Seeing the person with any weapon beside medkit, using a weapon checker and finding a weapon, the civilian revealing themselves through roleplay (not answering questions correctly)
-   FailRoleplay: If there is something you can't do in real life, you can't do it on the server (use common sense)
-   Civilians being accidentally killed in crossfire is not a punishable offence, it's up to the civilian to make sure they are not near any taliban otherwise they may be killed.
-   Metagaming is not allowed! You can't use the information above a player's head in character such as their name and regiment as that information was gained through out of character method. In character people do not have name tags above their head (beside KOS skull above head)
-   During wartime you can KOS the opposite faction (including civilians) and you may raid whenever/with whoever

-   Do not attempt to avoid punishment. Appeal on the forums
-   Do not share personal information about another player.
-   Do not kill/harm team-mates. (any member of the same faction)
-   Report game-play bugs & exploits instead of abusing them. Head glitching specifically is not allowed, and will be punished if done intentionally. (you're not at all visible to another player)
-   FearRP applies. When your life is threatened, you must follow demands made to you, provided they are within reasonable bounds (ie. You may refuse to kill yourself). FearRP applies whenever a gun is aimed at you, you do not have a gun drawn, and players involved are within yelling distance.
-   FearRP applies until 4 seconds after the aggressor has turned away, behind physical cover or out of line of sight
