I want to share my personal philosophy of game server administration, because sometimes in the heat of the moment the message can get lost

a) The rules are there for YOU. If you object to a rule, imagine you were the UNWILLING victim of that rule (you were team killed, trolled, spammed with infected or had to listen to an endless barrage of pipe or mollies) - that's why the rule is there

b) As admins, we realize when we join that the game we are in is not our game - it is yours.

c) We are there to help and we can help in a powerful number of ways.
If you are stuck or lost - we can help
If you are dead - we can help
If you are injured - we can help
If you are being trolled or attacked - we can help

Just ask us!

d) Politeness goes a long, long way. Some of us are older than Methuselah and were brought up with values that respond warmly to good manners. The converse applies also
