JRMBelgiumTwitch - Rules
We have only one goal and that is to provide the best gameplay experience in Europe. We strive to provide a fun, fair, cheat-free, and friendly environment for gamers of all ages. The rules below apply to our AMG servers, and by playing on our servers, you agree to abide by all of the rules set out below.
Warning: VIPs risk losing their VIP slot after multiple rule violations since they are able to kick out other players when they rejoin.
-
1. Keep the Gameplay Fair and Fun for Everyone.
No cheating, hacking, glitching, scripts, or abusing unintended game mechanics (e.g., shooting with the AA rocket gun at infantry from distance or without direct sight, entering off-limits map areas, or bypassing game-play rules). Any players caught hacking or cheating will be immediately banned from all of our servers. We encourage players to spectate the suspected player before making any accusations. Report someone you suspect of cheating on our "Report players" page. or post a message on our "Report players" discord-channel. Avoid warning them with in-game chat at all times!
-
2. Be Respectful of Other Players and Admins.
Regardless of your age, we ask that you try and be mature and set a good example for gamers on our servers. Targeted abuse towards another player will not be tolerated and may result in you being kicked or banned from the server. Challenging AMG and its admins can also result in you being kicked or banned from the server. Report admin abuse here.
-
3. English Only in Main or Team Chat & No Racism, Homophobia, or Personal Insults.
The use of all languages is okay in Squad chat. In order for us to run a fun, friendly server, we need to understand quickly what is being said in team and global chat. This includes being able to spot targeted abuse of other players/races/etc. In general, we will tolerate profanity to a certain degree but no racist or homophobic comments and no insults targeted towards a specific player or clan by name. Any player seen using language like this will be immediately kicked from our server without a warning! If you continue to break this rule after your first kick, you can expect a temporary or even a permanent ban depending on the severity of the rule infraction.
-
4. No Shooting Into or Out of the Spawn Zones (Home Bases) & Don't Camp with Behemoth.
Do not sit in the red zone sniping or firing mortars and artillery at the enemy team. In Battlefield 1 specifically, de train has to move out of spawn at all times. We also ask you to move the behemoth past the first flag as long as it's in friendly hands and as long as your behemoth has more than 30% HP. If your team has lost all of the objectives, try to coordinate and find a flanking route past the first flag. Don't just camp and complain about unbalance.
Exception: The use of fixed artillery and anti-air guns are allowed at all times, even the ones within spawn zones (home bases).
-
5. No Team Stacking.
Clans can play as a squad, but players from a clan should distribute themselves across teams if possible rather than having more than one squad on the same team. We appreciate that you like to play together with your friends, but please remember that we have to consider the experience of every player on our server. If needed, admins can and will move players from the same clan to the other team if the teams become unbalanced.
-
6. No High/Unstable Latency Gamers (Ping Limit = 210).
If your ping is either consistently unstable (and causes rubber-banding) or shoots above the threshold of 210 regularly, we may kick you to make room for players with a better network connection so that everyone on the server has a more enjoyable gaming experience.
Tip: Use a fixed connection when possible and avoid Wi-Fi and powerline solutions. Shut down software that is not needed to play.
-
7. No Win-Switching.
Even though we understand it's very frustrating to play in a team that doesn't work together, doesn't PTFO, and doesn't use vehicles to push, we feel that switching to the winning team in a losing match is not the right solution. We already have many AMG and community members that join the losing team when they join the server or swap to the losing team when they feel the game is unbalanced. If players start team-switching to the winning team, that's very disrespectful towards the players that do their best to balance, and also towards the other players in your team that do their best to win.
If you get caught team-switching, you can get swapped back by one of the admins. A second violation against this rule results in a kick from the server. If there is a difference between the teams of 150 tickets or more, or when all but one objective is captured, an admin can consider your swap as a switch for a win and that grants them the right to swap and/or kick you. Inform the admins of your reason to avoid this. If you join the server and switch to the other team to play with a friend within the first minutes of your session, we will not consider it as "win-switching." The rule only exists to improve balance on our servers, not to avoid team-play.

8. Don't Grief & Don't Sabotage Teammates or Abuse Game Features That Ruin Gameplay.
Don't destroy or vandalize other players' creations without permission in sandbox games like Minecraft and The Forest, collude with opponents, give false information, fake extreme incompetence with the intent of hurting teammates or failing an in-game objective. Don't deliberately block shots from a player's own team, or block a player's view by standing in front of them so they cannot damage the enemy. Don't trap players in inescapable locations by using physics props, special abilities, or teleportation, or impersonate an admin or other players through a similar screen name.
Don't spawn with vehicles over and over again in the same round if the only purpose is to abandon them, resulting in no teammates being able to actually play with vehicles as intended by the game developers. Do not stay idle in the deploy screen waiting for vehicles or horses. If you join the server, actively play as infantry until something becomes available after death instantly. Waiting in spawn-menu is considered idling and will lead to kick and eventually a ban if we catch you again the second time.
Guidelines for AMG Clan Members:
Try to set the example for other community players by following the rules at all times and try to balance games by swapping to the losing team if a game ends with more than 500 tickets difference or when the opposing team is playing with fewer players than your own team.
