CavePvP Strike Rules
CavePvP Strike Rules
Below are all the ways a faction may receive a strike and or disqualification.
There is no way to receive a strike or disqualification on our server if it is not explicitly stated in this document. New rules may not be added mid-map, new rules will always be added once the current map has concluded.
1 - CHEATING
-
This does not include autoclicking, autoclicking is allowed.
-
This includes being frozen for cheating, if a player logs out whilst frozen and or declines a screenshare, the faction in which they are in will be striked.
-
This includes any member in your faction, knowing the member, level of contribution, or any other factor will not be included in the decision for a strike.
2 - PUNISHMENT EVASION
-
This is only for bans and blacklists.
-
Situations like this are not always open and shut thus, strikes may be up to the discretion of our faction management team depending on the circumstances.
-
In addition to a strike, inviting a blacklisted player may result in a ban or blacklist for the leader of the faction and or the person who invited the blacklisted player.
3 - BOOSTING
-
Any method of artificially inflating points for any leaderboard or event on our network.
-
Depending on the severity of the discovered boosting, this may not be a strike rather an instant disqualification.
-
Boosting disqualifications may be for a single map, a specific number of maps, or lifetime. This is up to the sole discretion of the management and ownership teams.
4 - BLACKLISTED FOR ANY REASON
-
This rule is intentionally broad to cover any actions that players may abuse that are not explicitly listed in this document.
-
If a player is blacklisted on the network, it is up to the management team to decide if the reason for the punishment calls for strike(s) and or a disqualification.
5 - ASSOCIATING WITH BLACKLISTED PLAYERS
-
This rule includes inviting disqualified players, from the same map, into your faction. Is it the invitee’s responsibility to check the publicly posted strikes. Ignorance is not an excuse for this rule.
-
Association is intentionally broad to cover any actions that players may abuse that are not explicitly listed in this document.
6 - EVASION
-
Attempting to evade strike(s) or a disqualification will lead to an instant disqualification
-
Evasion disqualifications may be for a single map, a specific number of maps, or lifetime. This is up to the sole discretion of the management and ownership teams.
-
This rule is enforced on a case by case basis and is entirely up to the management team.
7 - GATE KEEPING
-
This is the act of holding or controlling a KOTH, Citadel, or Event in a way that prevents fair contesting.
-
Gate Keeping may result in a strike dependent on severity and is up to the sole discretion of the management team
8 - ILLEGAL TRAPS
-
This rule only applies to Fasts
-
Any illegal trap may result in a Trapping Strike
-
The full guide for what traps are allowed and not allowed is available here
9 - PEARL GLITCHING
-
This rule only applies to fasts
-
This is the act of using an ender pearl to glitch through walls or into otherwise inaccessible areas.
-
There may be cases in which we may rule a pearl glitch to be accidental. In these cases, no strikes are given.
-
For your best chance to fight an accidental pearl glitching strike the following is recommended: time warp back or let the person kill you. A recording or clip of the pearl and your actions following the pearl will also assist in getting your strike lifted.
10 - ASSISTING ANOTHER FACTION
-
This rule also includes gaining assistance from another faction to assist them to win a leaderboard and or event
-
If over a certain number of members in one faction plays in another faction, that is considered ftop/ftop raidable 1-3 assistance, which may result in a strike for one or both factions. The threshold is over 1 person on a 2/3 man map, and over 2 people on a 4/5/6+ man map. This portion of the rule only applies to fasts.
-
This rule also includes sharing items between ftop/ftop raidable 1-5 factions. Items that may result in a strike are, but not limited to, items obtainable from koth, aggressor, purge, in most cases Ultra Mystery Boxes, or any high-tier item.
-
If you receive a significant gift from a less than ftop/ftop raidable 1-5 faction, it may result in a strike however, this is fully at the discretion of the management team
SPECIAL NOTES
-
If a faction receives 2 or more cheating bans during an event, the faction's base will be wiped, all free faction bundle ranks will be removed, and the entire faction may be banned.
-
All the rules in this document are to be interpreted based on the spirit in which they were written. Attempting to “read between the lines” or find loopholes in these rules may result in punishments.
