The teleports are not allowed during a combat. Likewise, its prohibited tofly in this sim, only by exception of the GM'S who only can do it while they functioning as one.
As it is of public knowledge, after last updates some meters have a bug that causes the Hud and Meter to not refelct damage, neither of melee nor of skills. On the other hand, the player with this problem can continue using healing skills and attacks.
The player is notat fault if his/her meter does not work suitably. But must do something on the matter once notified of the bug. And this is for all: disloyal advantages in the game are not to be taken, althoughit is a bug of the system.
When a player perceives that his meter or the one of another player does not react before melee or it does not respond to the use of skills by more than 5 minutes:
A) They must call to a GM who will authorize you to reset your meter, after that you should shouth "((meter bug))", turn off your meter (non combative) and separate form the combat during 5 minutes.
B) After the 3rd meter bug, the player will be out of rp. If is not doing and the player comes back to the rp, will be penalized.
C) In case there will not be GM, the player with the problem in his meter must shout " ((meter bug))" , put the meter non comb and to separate from the combat. Meter Bug means "OUT OF RP".

The use of skills (after 4 MIN) makes you a threat so you are back in combat (or better said, you can not accuse corps camp). A player who receives aid (healing and/or support) during Nat Rev can return to combat.

The help will be accepted by GM only if are a resemblance of players (a battle that began with 10 players against 10 can’t end with 30 players against 20. If this happens, GM will be able to cancell the rp or reduce the number of players if its appropriate) and only if the notecard is given before the beggining of the rp.

12. TELEPORTING AND CAPTURES:
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
Teleporting players is strictly prohibited to during an RP. Teleporting out of the SIM is also prohibited. If a RL reason forces you to leave combat, you must use FTB.
The overuse of this type of leaves will also be punished.
If you disagree with how the combat was made or the result, not accuse publicly of cheating or give false reasons that could lead to greater conflict. Go to a GM and talk with him and he will know what fair and necessary measures to take.
It is forbidden to use any Skill if you're tied.
It is forbidden to move when you are defeated. If you have an AO that makes your avatar to stand up while your defeated, you must take it off.
Any release (free, untie) should be roll-played by ANOTHER person (either the captor or a player that comes to the rescue). It is forbidden to free oneself in any way (with a hidden object, etc) because this will be seen as GODMODING.
( a person that is captured CANNOT liberate another player in the same posistion(tied) )
You can’t release a person whose leash is held by its captor. First you must defeat the captor and then RP the release.
You can’t fight while you have leashed or dragging a captured person. But if you have a prisoner tied and attached to a rope, you can drag your prisoner, and you can use offensive, healing and support skills. Only melee is not allowed.
To give TP a captured person to another SIM you must:
1) Look if it’s allowed on the player’s limits.
2) Agree it first in IM with the other player.
3) Exit the fight.
4) Move away from the fight and drag the leashed person to one end of the SIM or to the landing point of the RP Zone.
If you are tied it impossible to release someone. Don’t do it.
A person can be considered free from their captors if they have not spoken or done any RP for a period of 10 minutes since the capture. If you opt for this option you will be OUT of the RP, if u wish to remain in the sim u must have your meter off
In this SIM captures are valid.
If you have No Capture in your limits, or a capture time less than 30 minutes (it is understood to RP) it is not appropriate for you to play in this SIM.
If the person is revived before the capture, even though the animation of the skill didn’t work, you can’t proceed with the capture, as the player is victim of lag, not of who defeated him. The lag often harms us, so its necessary that you read the chat log.
For this reason, captures can’t be done using gestures.
ONLY THE FIRST 3 RP LIMITS IN THE PERSONS PROFILE WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED IN THIS SIM*
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
13.CAMPING:
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
IT’S PROHIBITED TO CAMP FOR POINTS (AFK)
It is understood by "camp" to be away from the computer keyboard or to not participate in role play, leaving the avatar with the CCS meter activated, with the purpose of gaining experience points.
The RP happens in the local chat therefore, it is a player’s duty to pay attention to the local chat and respond when spoken to. If the player doesn’t responds in 10 minutes will be considered away from the keyboard and will be punished.
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
14. JUMP/MOVE ENHANCERS:
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
It is forbidden to use any kind of jumps or movement enhancers during combat, to follow someone, to escape, to spy on someone, to abuse someone, or to locate sniper positions.
Jump enhancers are only suitable for exploring, not to cause discomfort or have advantages during combat.
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
15. REZZ AREA:
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
There is only one REZZ Zone in the area of the Landing Point of the Rp Zone …
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
16. GOD ATTITUDE (GODMODING):
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
Do not force others to follow your RP; everyone is free to create their own RP.
Do not act like you're invincible.
Do not try to be all wisdom and all powerful in a RP.
Skills can not de send through the walls or from one floor to another or behind a wall separating you from the target (the target must be in your view field).
Do not use spells that have HUD effects. That's what’s the Hud for.
Examples of God's attitudes are:
1. Defeat someone and then perform a role play to try turn it into something that is not (an animal, for example) without the express consent of the player. (One can try to produce a action or reaction in another player, not force).
2. Perform a RP of throwing an incurable poison.
3. Regrow or regenerate a body part or member immediately after being mutilated or cut off.
4. "You can’t kill me because …" (insert any reason here).
5. Describe another player's actions or reactions to the actions you are doing on them.
*The penalties for the person that make any fault are the same as those that camp, except for those that have to do with the meter and hud. Although if a player keeps breaking the rules repeatedly a definitely ban of the person from CCS will be requested.
Good game to all and do not forget that we are all adults and we are here playing for fun… Do not forget the main rule "Nobody has the right to be an idiot".

OFFENSES AND FINES
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
If a player violates any of these rules, it is imperative to contact a GM through the channels of the "Spanish Support” group or any group of the alliance.
First Offense:
A formal warning that will remain recorded in the public record for a period of 56 days. If after those days, the player does not commit any other offenses, the warning will be deregistered.
Following offenses:
Level 1 to 4: 150 XP dock for each offense.
Level 5 to 6: 750 XP dock for each offense.
Level 7 to 8: 2250 XP dock for each offense.
Level 9 and above: 4000 XP dock for each offense.
The grieffers will be expelled and banned from ALL the Sims of the Alliance.
Violations are or includes: camping, OCC insult, enhanced movement animations during combat, argue with a GM, fight while being "leashed", TP out/in from/to a battle, try to deceive the other players to take advantage, and so on.
Once a player has a points deduction, he loses the right to be advised in advance and is a candidate to be points reduced for each infraction committed.
We remind all players that are subject to this Agreement and that they can also be expelled from the different CCS zones by different region managers.
Any GM decision is final and there is no right of arguing it. However, players must know that every case of warning or penalty will be supervised later by a higher authority and if its appropriate, the decision could be altered, revoked or amended.
