Former NWL ref?
Ref FAQ What is my job?Spoiler Your job is to enforce NWL rules, of course. But ONLY to enforce rules! Your personal preferences do not matter in this case. You don't like camping? Who cares? If one regiment camps, its not against the rules. You are not allowed to send them off to charge or something like that. Just saying  Spoiler First, you do nothing special. You note the name and watch how the round ends. Did the FIC change the outcome of the round? E.g. victim lost 2 men because of FiC and lost in a close charge - in this case, round has to be redone. E.g. FIC where the rule breaker already had 10 men advantage after shootout - in this case, you slay the respective person FiCing in the next round. Of course the regiment may not swap him out. If he does anyways, just slay any other ranker. In the end, the rule breaking regiment has to play at a disadvantage next round. Spoiler Are you sure it was OA? (I will insert pictures here if ppl don't understand) If you are, same as FiC. Spoiler As long as it isn't disrespectful or actual spam, nothing. When people start to insult each other, tell them to stop. When they don't, you may forbid global chat. People still don't stop to insult? Kick/slay them. Spoiler No, just slay someone else from his line. Spoiler That regiment has just lost 0-10. Please contact me with date and time, I might check for bushpirate though. Spoiler Only temp bans, please. Spoiler The servers are for NWL events, not for yours. Please contact the server sponsors, if you want a fine server for your event. Spoiler Tell them to add and ask me. You are not allowed to distribute the password. Spoiler Thats on you. You tell the regiments which server to play on. Only on official NWL servers, of course. |
