Ban

• A boot is when a commander kicks you off his team.
• A ban is when the admins have blocked your account from joining the online servers. This will normally be because you broke one of either the Terms of Service or the Rules of Conduct

I just got banned. RAAAGGGEEE

The message is quite clear:

• Do: Take some time out to consider how it came to be.
• Do: Consider the nature of this multiplayer community, and the reasons behind it's ban policy. (Or any MP community, for that matter.)
• Do: Remain calm.
• Do: Remain calm (yes, that's twice).
• Do: Remember that MP games aren't the 'be all and end all'. Go for a walk in the park. Buy you girlfriend flowers. Talk to, and get to know your neighbours. Help someone. Travel to unknown and distant lands in order to better yourself... (you see where I'm heading with this)
• Do: PM BlackViper if you think there is a problem regarding the nature or circumstance of your ban. (he's the 'top dog', as it were) Just make sure you're coherent if you choose to do so.

• Do not: Rant.
• Do not: Create a furore around your ban. This will only serve to increase the disdain towards you.
• Do not: Whine (sorry, but people do). See previous point.
• Do not: Feel that the Alleg community is shunning you. It isn't. Once a ban is served, everyone is glad to see you back.
• Do not: Give up MP gaming as a result of your being banned. (We're all human idiots... these things happen)

• Do: Remember that we're all here to have fun! mrgreen.gif

Happy Alleging,
