Servers' Rules

If you do not agree with the following rules, do not use our servers.

Our servers are privately owned and operated. Playing on our servers is therefore a privilege. And as such, you may, at any time, be partially or utterly stripped from it with or without any prior warning by one of our server administrators. For a list of our server administrators, please refer to our Roster page.

Here is a list of things you should not do if you do not want to end up punished :

• Advertising/recruiting : Advertisement or recruitment of clans without prior permission is strictly forbidden. This rule does not apply to OmnipotentS and it's friends/affiliates. You can find a list of our friends on our homepage.
• Cheating : If you are found cheating, do not expect any mercy from us.
• Disrupting gameplay : Teamkilling, exploiting map design flaws, stacking vehicles... People enjoy playing on our servers, so do not ruin their fun or we will come for you!
• Impersonating : )o( is our clan tag. If you are wearing it on our servers while you are not in our clan, you will be punished. If we find out you are impersonating a player who plays regularly on our servers, expect to be somehow punished as well.
• Offensive language/name : We do not host swear-free servers, so if you are offended by a simple 'fuck you', you should grow a thicker skin. However, being gratuitously offensive/abusive to somebody in particular or to a group of persons because of their ethnicity, religious affilation, sexual orientation will get you in trouble.
• Spamming : Whether it is VoIP chat or the console (ie: text chat, map votes, kick votes...), do not flood it.
• Team switching : Stay on the team the server decided to put you on. Period. We do not care whether you do not like the color of the team you are on or a friend you want to play with is on the other team.
• Spawn killing (players or vehicles): While a normal part of ONS to some extent, consistently doing this will earn you a timeout. Definition of "consistent" shall be at the discretion of an admin.

The above list is NOT exhaustive. We cannot afford to set up a list of every single offense that might occur on our grounds. That is why, when entering our servers, we expect you to have a minimum of courtesy, decency, and common sense. That is also the reason why offenses are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

We pick our server administrators carefully, but they are humans too, they can make mistakes. If you think the punishment you got was not deserved, or if you have a problem with one of our server administrators in particular, take it up privately with him/her first.

Our game servers are not the right place to discuss of our rules. If you have any questions or comments, either post them in the Servers/Forums/Policies forum or contact admin@omnipotents.com.

Some of our servers may have specific rules. Refer to the appropriate topic in the server's forum.


The following punishments may be issued on all our Unreal Tournament 2004 servers :

• Kick : You are removed from the game. You may rejoin the server right away.
• Session kick/ban : You are removed from the server for the remainder of the match.
• Ban : You are removed from the match and cannot rejoin the server until the ban is lifted.
• Slap : If you are in a vehicle, you are ejected out of it, you lose 25 health points and you are moved in a random direction on a rather long distance.
• Slay : You are killed instantly.
• Vomit : You are stripped from all of your weapons, and you cannot grab any until you die.
• Score reset : Your score is set to 0.
• Freeze : You cannot move or shoot. Anybody can kill you, even teammates.
• Llama : All your chat is replaced by Pffft! or Bleeet! or Ooorgle!
• Mute : You cannot use the text chat.

Should you need it, the Pffft!/Bleeet!/Ooorgle! and Server Bans forum is here for punishment appeals (please read the Appealing... announcement before posting your appeal)
