Informally
Πbelieves that all people should receive a fair go. Thus, we do not scan the stats sheets and select only the cream. Everyone is welcome to try out.
However, as an Œ member you MUST engage in official training, and be prepared to play in squad tournaments. You will be given opportunity to play against other squads sometime after you’ve settled in.
You MUST be prepared to play with honor .I.e. No cheating, glitching, swearing, abusing, or generally complaining in games.
If you are currently in another squad you will not be considered for Πuntil you leave your current squad.
If you transfer to Πfrom another squad you will NOT be able to play in any tournaments or friendlies for two weeks. We will also talk to your previous squad CO prior to accepting you.
Code of Conduct
We are proud to say that OE is made up of great people with friendships founded on mutual respect. Many members have been with OE as we have transitioned between games over the years with many members being with the squad for over 5 years.
People have different motivation for joining OE, different interests, backgrounds etc. You will not neccessarily like everyone, we understand that, but you can certianly show respect.
Its a commitment to all members. You have a right to be part of OE and participate without fear or concern that you will be treated unfairly. OE is run more like a family than a competitive clan and brother and sisters sometimes dont get along, but they work out ways of living together
We will not get 30 members all getting along all the time and accept that. What is unacceptable is for the squad, the clan to be effected by two people who dont get along.
Formally
The recruitment of outside players into Πis restricted to council members and the Recruitment Officer. If another Πmember should happen to spot a player with a high standard of playing ability and shows the potential to be able to work well in a team and could be a valuable asset to Πthen the member in question is not authorized to recruit the player himself but should refer the player to the Recruitment Officer who will then approach the player in question and evaluate their; skill, behaviour, personality and dedication etc.
THERE WILL BE NO IN GAME RECRUITMENT. If you see a player you may offer them your MSN and ask to talk to them outside the game. Then pass the interested person msn to the recruitment officer. If you recruit members inside the game you will be brought before a disciplinary panel and face possible suspension from Œ. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.
Alternatively, players that show an interest in becoming a member of Πcan express their interest by submitting an application form which will be passed on and reviewed by the Recruitment Officer.
To be invited to join Πthe player in question must fit in with these recruiting parameters:
• The player has Teamspeak RC3 installed on their gaming PC and posses a operational microphone. People with physical impediments are exempt from this requirement.
• The player must be able to work cooperatively in a team environment.
• The player must be available for most matches/trainings etc.
Recruitment is generally on an invitational basis only, players will only be invited to join Πif they fall under the following parameters:
• The player is able to promptly and efficiently follow directions from senior members.
• The player has a high standard of behavior and manners whilst in public servers.
• The player must be dedicated to the squad.
• The player has a sound understanding of game types and player positions.
ΠTrial Member
All new Πrecruits are required to complete a 2 - 4 week trial period. During this period our Recruitment Officers (RO) will be assessing how well you have adjusted to the squad, and whether or not this squad may be appropriate for you. After 2 weeks, new recruits will be either promoted to a full squad member, or will have their recruitment application denied, and Πtags must be removed. The extra 2 weeks will be used in situations (which include but are not limited to) where very few matches have been played, or the admins believe they need more time to assess the new recruit.
During this period admins will be addressing the following (includes but is not limited to):
• The ability to work in a team environment
• Player conduct
• How well that player has adapted to the Œ community
• Whether or not that member has been active throughout their trial period
• Whether or not that member has participated in clan Matches/Training sessions
All Œ Trial Members will be required to place a small ‘r’ in the Œ tag for that particular game. The RO who is addressing the new recruit will confirm which tag s/he will be using. For example, a new recruit will be required to use the following; -OEr.name.
If a new recruit has any questions/concerns throughout their trial period, they are to contact the RO who addressed their recruitment.

[COLOR=#00ff00][SIZE=4][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]Forum Posting[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
There are two types of forums; public and private. Please make sure you post in appropriate places. If you feel the need to say bad things about other members, squads, etc, then take it to the private forums so it is viewed only by Πmembers. If you do not have access to private forums, please send an email/pm to a squad admin. If you make such posts public we will consider this a serious offense and you may face disciplinary actions. If unsure, I suggest you run any such post past an Πmanagement member before making it.
While not into censorship, Πmanagement reserves the right to remove or edit ANY post it feels is derogatory or offensive.
Please feel free to make posts about things you feel will interest other members.
Always check the forums to catch up on any new developments within Œ.
As an Πmember, you will be expected to the check the forums at least once a week.

If anyone harasses you in game, example calls you a cheat or abuses you, take a screen shot save the file.
If the person is a non Πmember that is harassing you management will deal with this on your behalf. Speak to an ADMIN FIRST before responding to the person.

[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=4][COLOR=#00ff00]Cheating[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
Cheating will not be tolerated at all. If you are found guilty of cheating you will be instantly and permanently removed from Œ. Types of cheating include, but are not exclusive to, using game modifications or trainers, using voice chat to tell players of opposite colors where team members are, deliberately not shooting an (Œ) team member who you know likes to hide in certain spots, deliberately limiting your bandwidth so you can use lag, screen cheating at Lan parties. If you are an Œ member you will play fair you will play with honor and respect your fellow team members and competitors.

[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=4][COLOR=#00ff00]In-Game Behavious[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
Œ members are required to play with honor at all times. Inappropriate in game behavior will not be tolerated. It is the responsibility of ALL Œ members to monitor the conduct of other players, esp. ™ members.
Πmembers will not engage in cheating or calling others cheats, chat spamming, complaining of other players or lag, abusing, or glitching.
If you see a member engaged in inappropriate behaviors attempt to take a screen shot and ask the member to stop or leave game. If the offense was minor eg. accidental glitching, complaining about lag, or chat spamming, and the member stops, then the issue is to be forgotten. However, if you see this behavior repeated often report it to management so we can take more formal steps.
If you see a member cheating abusing other players, or refusing to stop the minor offenses then ask the person to leave and report it to management ASAP. Please try and obtain Screen shots. Without screen shots we will require several eyewitness accounts of the behavior before we can act.
Complaining of lag, getting pissed of at someone you shot tens times who didn’t die is normal human behavior, however, take it to Œ ts, private members forums, or Œ msn. DO NOT use in game text, public forums or public ts, to make the complaints.
