The CT team has 115hp to even out the 2T to 1CT ratio the server runs, it allows a CT to be stabbed twice and survive this, which adds a strategic element to gameplay since CTs can still be backstabbed for a one hit kill. And so encourages the T team to be cunning and plan their moves strategically.

Since our server runs a lot of maps which are easy to rebel on, and since our rule set welcomes and encourages rebelling this makes a more even win/loss ratio for CT/T, while also differentiating our server from others and so this won't be changed.

Admin is a special privilege reserved for Members only. This is set up this way in order to make it easier for us to track the admins in our servers. Usually a member has been accepted by the community which shows that they can be trusted with the responsibility. Admin is usually gifted upon a donation to this community. You do not "buy" admin. As a gift, this can be revoked at any time if the member is abusing or is involved in an incident regarding use of his admin..

You have to apply for admin in the Game Application section.

Recruits will be unable to receive admin through a donation unless it has been approved by multiple Staff members or higher.

The Admin Rules V1.2

Please remember that your given admin to help EgN keep its servers free and clear of rule breakers
and hackers. Your donations are welcomed but your not "buying" admin, your donating and your showing
that you have the desire to help us. Thanks again!

Basic Admin Rules!

These are the default rules that govern your actions in any EgN Server
- Admins should never ban themselves from the server.
- Always remember to act mature in the server, and set an example for other members to follow.
- Always approach every situation without bias and malice. Never take your anger out in server.
- Always be courteous and helpful, never try to push someone to rash action so you can ban/kick them.
- Also follow the steps lined out in this guide-line BEFORE resorting to using admin.
- When in a server you must follow the same rules as every other player.
- Sometimes as a Admin you have to detach yourself from game-play so as to ensure rules are being followed. This means joining Spectator if necessary.
- Depending on your rank within EgN you may need to allow a higher up to take action within the servers. A Veteran member should not intervene if a Staff+ is present in the server and is already working on the situation.
- Admins are not allowed to Ban/Kick/Slay a Member+, only Staff+ may take action against an EgN Member+. Veterans+ are permitted to use admin on lower ranking members of the clan up to and excluding ban in order to enforce the rules.
- Use the correct ban topic prefix and format.

- Admin is granted to so that the rules of the sever may be enforced. It is not granted for personal enjoyment or amusement. Is not granted so that you can make the game more enjoyable for others. If no one is breaking the rules, there is no reason to use admin. Example of how NOT to use admin.
1) Slapping other people excessively.
2) Using admin chat to convey non admin related messages.
3) Changing the map.
4) Giving other people "item_xxxx".



Order of Operations for Administrating players

These are the steps admins must take.
1.) Ask other EgN members present what they saw or who broke what rules. Understand what occurred.
2.) Maturely ask why the offender is breaking the rules. Understand what occurred. If they are unresponsive - Slap/freeze/slay.
3.) Proceed to step a. If the player continues, go to step b, only after repeating Steps 1-2. Still continues? Repeat steps 1-2 and go to step c, and so forth.

a.) Warn the player to not break the rules again.
b.) Take administrative action and inform them what they did wrong.
-Mute/gag people yelling or trolling in mic or chat.
-Slay for freekills or poor CT behavior.
c.) Kick the player breaking the rules with a relevant kick reason, or swap CTs not playing their role.
d.) Still breaking the rules? Ban them following the outline below. Be sure to report the bans you make according to the ban report guidelines.

Make your ban reports!

Its so very important that we all work together to keep EgN servers fun and safe for everyone to play in.

Any admin who is caught breaking the trust placed upon them will lose their admin rights and may even lose their membership. This post counts as your one and only warning, do not act ignorant of this.

Thank you all again for helping EgN!

The Admin Guide V1

Admin Commands

A list of commands you might need;

With their syntax (= the order you type your variables in).
Replace what is inbetween and inclusive the <> or [] what is between [] is optional.
These can also be use with the ! or / in chat instead of sm_

sm_admin - brings up the main admin menu
sm_slay - kill a player
sm_mute - make a player unable to talk over mic
sm_unmute - undo the mute
sm_gag - make a player unable to chat ingame
sm_ungag - undo the gag
sm_silence - gag + mute
sm_unsilence - ungag + unmute
sm_kick [reason] - kicks a player from the server
sm_ban [reason] - 0 minutes for permanent - bans players on currently the server
sm_cancelvote - cancels the vote in progress
sm_map - changes the map to the one specified
sm_who [target] - lists a player's access rights, or all player's if no target was specified

Doldol's mods
!wg - brings up the give menu

About Commands

Every commands has 3 variants you will need:
- Console Prefix: sm_
- In chat Prefix: !
- Silent in chat Prefix: /

Additionally most commands can be found in the main admin menu.

All commands availible in the admin menu can be used with all 3 variant, however some commands are powered by plugins, and aren't availible in some form.

These are:
- sm_sethealth - not in the menu
- !team (ex. !team Shen 2 will switch Shen to the Terrorist team)

Targeting

You can use partial names, full names, target flags or userids (prefixed with a #, ex. #2 an userids are visible in the status console command) to target player(groups).
Be careful with players having names like or one with numbers only, since Source Mod checks for names last you'll end up targetting the wrong player(group).
If you are inexpierienced use the admin menu to take care of these players. There are advanced ways of dealing with this, but I won't cover these here.

Target flags

Everyone in the server
Every alive player, including players in spectator
Every dead player
Every ct
Every t
Every spectator
Every bot
Every human player
You
Everyone but you (especially handy for silencing everyone but you.)

Admin chat

@ - send a message to everyone as an admin
- this in teamchat will send a message to every admin
@target - sends a message to 1 player (also works for non-admins)
@@@ - sends a message in the center of the screen

Binding keys

In your console or autoconfig.cfg file (again replace everything and inclusive the <>):
bind "" ""
(Use say to emulate saying something in chat.)

Useful Examples:
bind "F10" "sm_slay ;
bind "F8" "sm_admin"
bind "F9" "sm_sethealth 100"
bind "F11" "say !wg"
bind "F12" "sm_csay "


A little extra (in autoconfig.cfg):
alias adm_micmute "micmute"
alias micmute "sm_unsilence ; wait; sm_silence ; wait; alias adm_micmute unmicmute"
alias unmicmute "sm_unsilence ; wait; alias adm_micmute micmute"
bind "F7" "adm_micmute"

This will mute everyone but you on first press, and will unmute everyone on the second press (now you won't have to bind 2 keys xD).

You should post an unban request when you feel like you have been banned without a valid reason, that your ban was disproportionate to your misdoings, or that you deserve a second chance.

After checking the banlist here and making sure your ban still lasts for more than a day.

Post an unban request here. A high-ranking member will then handle your situation.

In this case, additionally to getting unbanned you probably want to submit an admin complaint here.

However, make sure that you know the rules yourself.

You should post an unban request when you feel like you have been banned without a valid reason, that your ban was disproportionate to your misdoings, or that you deserve a second chance.

Please take note that most people with ban permissions in TS3 are high ranking members, and so would not ban you without a valid reason.

Post an unban request here. A high-ranking member will then handle your situation.

Sadly for you our policy is "Your account, your responsibility.", you can submit an unban request, but it will be handled as if you were in control of your account at that time.

This is because you should make sure nothing happens to your account, especially when we give your account certain permissions. As such, if you fail to do this, we cannot trust that your account is controlled by you.

The only exception to this is when your account gets hacked. In which case, if you are able to provide proof, your ban will be revoked.
