Conclusion:

• Respect and fair play are key. Server rules may be updated, so stay informed.

Connect to the Emirates-KiNGS Server at: 51.38.60.53:27015
Night Rules: Map played after 23:00 is de_dust2.
Server Rules can be modified; check regularly for updates.

Rule of thumb:
To the outer most extend, use written guiding and non enforcing methods.
Use Admin HUD messages with guidance to players in a respectful tone!
Slap, slay and kick are only to be used when there's a case of repeated offenses.

Interpretation of specific admin rules:

4. Anti-Scan Policy:

• Admins should not ask players for scans; consult other admins first.
  When consulted other admins - ask the player in question politely for a scan.
  Give the player time to respond. If it is a regular known player, they know the drill.
  But do not enforce the player in to spectator right away. Only if they ignore the scan request multiple times.
• Permanent bans reserved for cheaters with proper proof.
  Additionally to the guidance above, we have a few "rotten tomato's". Regular players shifting STEAMID's, playing with different nicknames who deliberately leaves the server when asked to scan. These individuals are to be banned cf admin rules §5.

Interpretation of specific player rules:

6. Base Camping Limitation:

• No camping in base after 1:00 time per round.
  This rule is foremost regarded Terrorist side. TS are allowed to "defend" their spawn until 1:00 if CT pushes aggressively. When the bomb is planted TS are not allowed to defend spawn but only the bomb. If violated use "Rule of thumb".
  CT are allowed in CT-spawn by use of transit. Thus needless to say if TS rushes mid gate initially from the get-go you have to accept the fact that you'll get shot from players in CT-spawn. CT cover through there spawn both A-long, Mid and B-site.
  Of cause we do not allow CT players to "camp" in spawn on the boxes etc.
  As admin always be aware of the bombs location. Many times the bomb is lost in a position that requires either of the teams to be present in their spawns.
