MG Server Rules (Updated June 9th, 2012)

Server Rules & Legal Notices
​

These are the Marvelous Gaming Server Rules which will be linked to
In-Game by using the command '!rules' from chat.

Please take the time to learn the Rules before you play.




? Introduction Note ?

Remember
When you get banned on one server you get automatically banned on all
servers that means ALL MG Servers be they *L4D1 L4D2 or Z-Day.
Not Just the Server You Was Banned On.

So if you like playing at MG think twice before you break the rules.
It's not worth it.

NOTE: *This Includes any UnNamed MG Servers.
​

Category 1: Major Offences

• Racism.

This topic is so important that it is first on our list. Any racist comments and/or names will result in an instant permaban!
​

• Cheating.

Cheating will result in an immediate permanent ban with no option to protest against it.
​

• Bug using.

​

Exploiting known or unknown bugs within the game or its modifications will result in a kick and temporary ban without warning.
​

• Team Killing.
  

Excessive, on purpose damaging other players on your team (including yourself) will result in a kick and temporary ban without warning.​

This Includes both as Servs. and SI. So pushing another SI of the building is also considered as TK as it often results in that players SI being killed.​

• Mic / Chat / Vote Spamming.

Excessive mic, chat and/or vote spamming with the sole & only purpose of trying to ruin the game for other players will result in an immediate kick and temporary ban.​

The use of the MG logo(s) is Reserved for the use of Marvelous Gaming Admin alone. Being found with MG in front or Behind your name while on a MG Server will be cause for a Temp Ban, Persistent offender WILL face a much longer punishment. The Use of an Existing Adimins Name with or without the |MG| Tag is also to a Lesser Extent is also Considered Impersonation of an Admin and may result in Short Ban.

MG has a Zero Tolerance of Language or Nicknames containing Expressions of Abuse, Racism, Discrimination or anything else that may hurt other people, countries or believes and the use of these WILL Result in Permanent Bans.
​

• Farming on Points Reloaded.

You are farming when you stop the campaign from continuing normally, and you stay in one spot killing infected to gain experience, points and gems faster. An Ex, not entering the helicopter on The Parish finale, just because you want faster exp. Well Sir, This is totally PROHIBITED and you will get Instantly BANNED if you get caught.
The first Ban will be for 3 days, the second for 6 days, the third for 12 days, the fourth for 24 days, and so on.

• High ping.

High ping Pings above 700 will get you will be asked to reduce your Ping if you fail to do this then you Will Receive a

​

• Rushing.

​

• Vocal, VoteKick and Chat Spamming.

This is minor spamming. Examples: Playing Singing or Playing Music over the Mic or leaving your channel open so
everybody can hear your background sounds. Flooding the Chat-box with Non-Interesting stuff or Excessive Non-game
related talking over the mic will result in a Warning first and a Kick or Short-term Ban second if the player does not stop.
This also Includes Excessive Vocalizing enough so that players or Admins get annoyed or bothered by it even if it is on
topic, We will grant you a Kick and/or Temp Ban With or Without Warning if the player fails to stop when asked by an
Admin.
​

• Foreign Languages.

We can debate long if we should allow typing or talking foreign languages, but there always seem to be a certain gray
zone where some people find it annoying and others don't so English is NOT the only language allowed on our Servers,
Forum and Steam-Group, but not everybody speaks English so it normal wont be a problem and you usually won't get
kicked for it when you keep low profile but admins decide when it gets to a point where people could be bothered with
it which will usually lead to a kick and a short term ban, ie. When People Talk NonStop Like they are on a Phone.
​

• Inappropriate Language.

Swearing, shouting, being disrespectful to other Players/Admin etc. will get you some time to cool-down outside of our servers, Repeated Actions of this type will bring longer Bans.
​

• Inappropriate Nicknames.

Nicknames like ;; .. || -- are not allowed. We like to know who we're playing with so try to be more original when it comes to
picking a decent nick. As you may find your self either Named Scrambled, Silly Named (ie. Renamed to - 'Sugar Plum Fairy'
or 'I get Owned by Noobz') or Short Ban!
​

• Rage Team-Switching.

Excessive team-switching, which means you keep trying to switch teams even though the server is full and a switch is not possible.
We've seen people even trying to reconnect to join the other team (usually the infected team). This will get you banned for a short
period of time.

​

• Trolling.

Trolling on MG/MGftw Servers is not allowed, the act of Disruption or Spoiling the Game for other people by the use of minor (in
them selfs!) Inflamatory Comments or the Baiting of Admin may result in a Short Ban.
The Ban may be Increased if there are multiply cases​

• Religion & Politics.

Talking about religion and politics is not allowed on MG Server or Forums as debates of this type have a tendency to get out of hand and Offense to other can easily be caused. A short Ban maybe given, Repeat breaking of this Rule will result in longer bans.
​

​

Category 3: Special Section

The Special Section can be considered an extension of Category: 1
​

• Advertising.

Advert Nicknames Advertising on any MG/MGftw Servers or Forums without Prior Written Permission from MG/MGftw.Com is a Offence Punishable by a Permanent Ban.
