|OG| OLD GUYZ COD Call of Duty for the Wii and ps3

|OG| CODE OF CONDUCT:

1. We have a ZERO tolerance policy when it comes to hacking, cheating, glitching, or do anything that would harm the integrity of the OG in public matches. When we wear the OG tag, we represent OG and all of its members and we will not damage that reputation by with poor sportsmanship. This includes:
-Going under or out of the map on any game map. This is defined as out of the normal bounds of the map. (Rooftops, rocks, ledges are all acceptable and legitimate to play.)
-Using lag switches to manipulate the internet connection to our benefit.
-Code hacking in PUBLIC matches is subject to immediate termination. For private matches/events, hacking/glitching is only allowed with prior consent of the participants involved.

2. No bailing on OG's during a game.  Wait till the game is over to leave. If you take an invite from an OG it is improper to leave them behind for most reasons. Leaving with a good reason is acceptable. Some examples of this (not limited to) are connection issues, life events (baby, spouse, phone call, etc), you were not prepared for the game type, or you just joined the game and went on the opposite team. OGs will NEVER leave a game due to poor play, conserving KDR, or just plain getting beat. Take the beating then move on after the game. Excessive bailing will not be tolerated.

3. We would like members to log in to the website at least once a month. We will send a reminder email to you if you have not logged in within the last 60 days. If we do not here back from you we may temporarily remove your profile. We understand there are a lot of demands outside of OG, and we will reinstate your information when you decide you have more time to play the game and log into the website again. We are not suspending your membership as we do not view this as a punishment of any sort. This is just a way of making sure information on our site is up to date as many inactive members never become active again.

4. We don’t team kill in any match for the "fun of it". Intentional team killing an OG or non OG is prohibited. Exceptions to this are: a) retaliation for multiple TKs by a teammate, b) killing a glitcher/hacker, c) accidents, d) martyrdom (just make sure you have a good reason for using this perk in HC)

6. We welcome other visitors and clan members to our site as long as they follow our code of conduct. Public disrespect (by members or non-members) to anyone on teamspeak, voxli or the chat log will not be tolerated.  Problems between members should be handled privately, message them directly or contact a moderator. You/We are mature adults, we expect you to act like it.  This website is a gaming site, and we will do our best to keep discussions on topic. We will be respectful of each members lifestyle, marriage, etc. This site is for mature adults, so members may use profanity, but we will not allow racist, sexist, or hate speech.  What you do on your own time is your own business, but the OG's will not tolerate any public discussions that promote illegal activities such as drug use or piracy .   

7. Be respectful of all OG members, and our opponents as well (no rage quitting). We don't care about kdr ratings.  If YOU do, this is the wrong place for you.  We prefer teamwork and improving our skills over the kdr rating of one member.  If you want to preserve your kdr, play alone. 

-If a weapon is used in the game, and has not been altered by a hack or glitch, then it is fair for all to use.  However, you are not obligated to play with another OG whose legit tactics you do not agree with. Editing your Ally list to only include members you share a common strategy with is your own responsibility.

8. We will not spam invites. Spamming invites is the continued invitation of friends over and over again within a short amount of time (10 minutes). We will try our best to coordinate invites via text/voice chat or this website and have respect for our OG team mates during their online play.

9. If we see a teammate (OG or NON-OG) violating any of these rules, we reserve the right to team kill that individual, and leave the match. For any violations, please report them to your moderator team, so we can conduct our due diligence. We promise to treat each member with respect by verifying any reported incident and communicating with the alleged offending member before taking any action.

10. And the most important rule of the OG-HAVE FUN!!!!!!!  We are the best group of player on the battlefield, do your best to encourage new members and bring new members to the group.

-Acceptible OG tags include but are not limited to: OG [OG] (OG) |OG| OG! *OG* OG| You will be notified if your tag is not acceptible. We ask you to not use the tag oG , as that is a representation of separate, exising COD clan.

Any violation of the rules above will result in the suspension of their logon account for this website, the exclusion from tournament play, and potential expulsion for the OG Army. Especially the number 10 rule!

Understand that acceptance into the |OG| Army will require that you add all administrators and moderators so that we may monitor your gameplay and verify that you are mature enough for the |OG| Army.

There is no copyright on this C.O.C.  IF you are a visitor from another clan feel free to copy it if you need to. We would appreciate giving us credit, but don't require it.

Things you may need to know along the way/WTF/FAQ

What is the Code of Conduct?
All members are required to abide by the rules of the Code of Conduct(COC), and failure to do so will result in losing your membership. We have very few rules, and they are simple to follow. In a nutshell, OG’s don’t code hack, we don’t glitch or elevator, we don’t rage quit (leave mid game because you’re not doing well), and we don’t team kill in Hardcore modes. If you have questions about these or any of the rules in the COC ask an Administrator or Moderator. Admins, Mods, and Team Leaders are here to help with any issues you may have.

Theres so many OG’s, who’s FC should I add?
Now that you have been accepted you need to add your MWR and/or WAW Friend codes so other OG’s can add you to their friend list. You also need to add other OG friend codes, which is very time consuming. Head to the Members FC page and start by adding Administrators, Moderators, and Team Leaders. After that it is your choice of which players to add. Certainly add anyone that plays the same time of day that you play. It’s a good idea to keep our chat page open so you can see who is playing. Keep your FC in your name on chat so people can add you easier. You are encouraged to add as many OG’s as possible to your friends list.

How do I get invites?
Once you’ve added FC’s, login to the game and go to your friends list. At this point you can click on a player and join their game, or send out an invite to let people know you are on. Typically the first invite lets people know you are ready to play, and they will send an invite to you if/when they have room. If they join your party you can go into a match or close the party telling the other member you are not comfortable hosting at that time.

Is everybody really over 30?
Nope, but prospective members are chosen with care. We have 7 families in the OG Army. Our members currently range from 57 (OG Yuma) to 11 (Son of Qwid) Keep an eye out for a few younger members and act appropriately in their presence. They are welcome here as family, and we treat them as such. Confirmed youngsters as of the writing of this memo are McBeta, Little D, Terk, and Son Of Qwid. Please treat them and all OG’s with the respect that they deserve.

Who is the best?
We have a Hall of Fame(HOF) to celebrate members accomplishments. The HOF is updated at the beginning of each month. There is a HOF thread in the General Forum that you can post your accomplishments in. Please add the FC for OG Chopshop and OG snoops, as they need access to your stats to confirm your levels.

How do I get in on the fun in Teamspeak?
Follow the directions here

What is the Wuzzzup/Say Hello/Shenanigans Box for?
The Wuzzzzup Box is for announcements and recognition. Please don’t spam the Box. We have several other ways to communicate with other members on our website.

What are all of these abbreviations yo guys use (MWR, ADS, TDM, CQC)?

We are old, and get lazy when typing. Some of us are not good speelers. We tend to use a lof of abbreviations when talking about the games. A comprehensive list of those abbreviations can be found here, just a couple posts from the top.

Does the [OG] Army allow under rifle grenades/noob toobs?

This is a controvercial topic, and could change at any time if the site staff feels a change to be necessary. The short answer is yes, URGs are allowed according th the COC. Using URGs is highly discouraged, unless several members of the other team are using them. We do however require OGs to play with integrity, and that should be kept in mind if you use URGs. Cases where use of URG would likely be seen as OK: trying to complete "ouch" challenge, retaliation, elimination of a blatant teamkiller, anti-sniping, and anti-heli. Overkilling URGs (carrying 2 sets, or 4 total) is looked down upon, as well as map spamming, or launching into an area hoping someone may be there. Also, tubing from point-blank distance unless working on the "ouch" challenge is discouraged. Tubing other OG's can be seen as a sign of disrrespect, and will likely result in losing friends or missing out on invites.

Is teamkilling in Hardcore modes allowed?

NO! We never teamkill for fun. OG's want to play fair matches, so in some cases a teamkill is justified. OG's can kill teammates using elevator glitches, or code hacks. OGs can teamkill repeat teamkillers. If there is any doubt that you were TKd on purose, let it go. Look to see that teammate also killed an opposing team member, or check their score to see if they have multiple TK penalties. You may kill a teamkiller that purposely killed a teammate too (get an OG's back). Killing toobers is not necessary, but a few flash grenades when they tube will get the point accross. DO NOT carryover revenge action into a second match. The slate is wiped clean at the end of the match. You can always leave the lobby if the offender will not leave.

Do OGs quit midgame if they have a bad score or are doing badly?

Hell no. This is a high level offense, and can get you banned from the OG Army. OGs are older and wiser, and can take an asswhipping if they are overmatched. You may leave a lobby after the game, but you will stay and fight until the end. If you are worried about your KDR, you are in the wrong place anyway. The only excuses for leaving a game are accepting invites, someone has hacked the game, or family issues (we are old guyz after all).

How do I find someone to private message them?
Private message links can be found in several places including the following: Individual members page (friend other members), Members FC page, donation box, and forums.

I need help getting better
We have many topics in the Strategies forum

My connection is horrible
Connection topics are covered in the Technical Forum

Why are OG’s deleting my FC?
Some unwritten rules you’ll find other OG’s follow when playing against each other: no Under Rifle Grenades (noob tubes), no chaining choppers, and no martyrdom. These things are not rules in the COC, but it’s a surefire way to have people delete your Friend Code (FC). Otherwise, they may just need room on their list and don’t play with you as often as they play with others.

Private Games
OG’s have several games we play in private that members using Teamspeak can play. Each game has it’s own set of rules. They are all fun and require players to practice skills such as knifing, shooting handguns, and using shotguns. This is valuable practice, as well as promoting brotherhood throughout the OG Army. Read about them here.

What are donations?
Donations help the [OG] staff keep the site running. All donated funds go directly to the site, and not to anyone’s pocket. Donations are not a requirement of membership, but are truly appreciated by all that enjoy all that we have been able to offer our members.

Where can I find OG swag?
Wallpapers
Gear

Pending Friend Requests
New members take a little while to be added by everyone. Once you’ve been around for a month or so you can post a pending FC thread in the Friend Codes forum or private message members that have you pending. The game only allows 100 friends so not everyone can be friends, so choose wisely.

I have skills and want to help out with the website or other items
Private message an Administrator or Moderator, and we’ll keep you in mind when updates are needed.

How does someone become a Moderator or Team Leader?
Mods and Team Leaders are hand picked by existing Administrators and Moderators as more are needed.
