2. If an admin tells you to do something, respect their authority and adhere accordingly, admins are here to enforce the rules.
3. The ratio for teams are (3:1): 3 Terrorists for each 1 Counter-Terrorist, (i.e. 15 Ts and 5 CTs). Stacking the CT team will result in a slay/swap, repeating this offense multiple times will result in a kick/temporary CTban. There is a maximum limit of 10 CTs at any time.
4. No microphone spamming (this includes spam at the end of the round) or encouraging microphone spamming, players doing so will receive a mute/kick/ban. This applies to chat spam as well.

12. No abusing bugs/glitches/exploits on the server, see rule 2.
13. Freekilling or mass-freekilling will result in a CTBan. This includes freekilling of all forms (shooting props at Ts, spamming game buttons, enabling friendlyfire in an uncontrolled situation etc.) (to be unbanned you will need to wait the period of time or by posting an unban request)
14. CTs should not be excessively talking over mic unless they are the warden. Continuous talking over the warden as a CT you will get muted and swapped.

26. CTs cannot break vents, however if a CT is in a vent they may break their way out.
27. CTs cannot kill prisoners in cells after they close (unless the prisoner is AFK, hiding or a game has been played and they haven't asked for cells in chat prior to it starting). Any CT using a microphone to check for AFK players will be muted.

32. Ts cannot be killed for the possession of a weapon (primary or secondary), unless they are pointing/shooting at a CT (they can be asked to drop the gun but it is not a rebel if they refuse. Ts choice outside of gun-check.

43.3 Nazi behaviours are heavily discouraged as it leads to trigger-happiness, freewounding and takes a lot of the fun out of the game for the Ts. This will be up to admin discretion. An example of behaviour that is against the rules is killing a T out of cells who took a few steps in the wrong direction and obviously wasn't trying to run off, or killing that T later in the round for it.
