Hello all,
I have come to write this post because I think something rather important is missed out by many of the guests here. terminology wise- a guest is anyone who is not a CiA member (recognizable by a [CiA] before their nicknames in-game).
CiA is a squad which based on its members. The server is owned by Lobanak, a CiA member. basically, the server, the forums and the website are services provided by Lobanak for the sake of all CiA members.
All those who play on the server as guests enjoy these services as a part of CiA hospitality. We welcome new players to play with us and this is the reason why the server, that was protected by a password for ages up until a year ago or so, stopped being password protected to welcome new players from around the world. We always hope the guests will welcome our hospitality by honoring our rules and our rather mature ways on the server and on the forums.
However, many of the current guests somehow feel that its their right to play on the server. It seems as if they feel that we owe them something. Like one of the shouts that I have seen today say: "Are you kidding me? How long that damn password will stay?" I wonder what kind of guest is welcomed to someone else' home and demand that the shower will be ready, and the meal will be served as he likes. So let me set things straights- no one, members included, don't get to behave like that here. ALL, and especially guests, are expected to follow the rules, respect the hospitality available here and act maturely. This means, among many other things, not to take CiA public services for granted and 'demand' them.
Well, it seems necessary now to say to all of the guests yet another time: we don't owe anything to anyone of you, you play here because we allow it, and if we feel that it is not fun for us anymore to stay public, the password will become permanent.
for all of those who have wondered why weren't they provided with the password- if you didn't get it, it's probably because you broke the rules, acted stupidly, spammed the text channel, spammed TS, or didn't stay serious during a coop night. Its' simple as that. As rule no.7 say- "This is the last and most important rule: Concentrate. We don't forbid joking, but once a mission has started, stay serious, calm and focus on the game!" Most of you who didn't get the password broke this rule.
The last thing you need to do is demand that the password will be removed, call it "a damned password" or demand that it will be provided to you.
Please consider this as a the last request by CiA, before more measures will come into effect.
