COMBAT & ROLEPLAY
------------------------

INTERACTION RULES (only applicable in RP areas, not the OOC combat area)
- You must somehow give a warning that you're going to attack. Surprise attacks will *not* be tolerated. Valid methods of notification are RP, OOC chat, and IM. //CORRECTION MADE - added RP as a valid method of notifying someone of an attack.
- Constantly attacking a person is a form of bullying, and that will not be tolerated. You will receive a 3-day ban for any bullying you commit.
- Any attack must be somewhat justified. If you wish to fight for the sake of fighting, please proceed to the OOC Combat Area.

DCS2 ISSUES:
- DCS2 in combat mode is *always* required for any fighting. Do *not* use any other combat meters besides DCS2.
- You must have the latest publically released version of DCS2.
- Do not remove your DCS2 meter after being defeated. Accept your defeat with dignity.
- Cheating will not be tolerated. You will be permanently banned if you manage to cheat in any way.
