Code of Honor

[Tomisama]

Proposal number one:

Code of Honor

In the interest of creating an online gamming environment that encourages a growing multiplayer community, with the highest level of skills and sportsmanship. We the undersigned, do by this document declare our pledge to adopt and support the following code of conduct and practice.


Anything could follow?

Some examples off the top of my head:

To vow to always be courteous and respectful to all players, even if they are not in return.

To be helpful to any who would ask for our assistance, even if it is inconvenient.

To always play with an army reasonably balanced according to unit choices available for the particular faction chosen.

To never intentionally take advantage of unintended weakness in the game programming.

To remain with a particular team game, even after having been defeated, as a demonstration of sportsmanship.

To always enter the game with a salute, and leave it with salutation, to show respect for your fellow players.

To always remember that multiplayer without quality opponents, is only single player.

The last line was kind of tongue in cheek, but is really the point, though it may not be included


Comments, additions, subtractions?

Is this what you were thinking, or do you have another perposal?

Thanks Def, (and AggonyShields who liked the idea, but is unable to post here atm).

Thinking to make a web page where names can be posted of all players who would accept the oath. A quick email to sign, and will add the name for all to see.

Once finalized, will do the above and post a link on every message board throughout the Total War community to provide access for all multiplayers, no matter which game they play.

But now need more feed back on what should be included (or not).
Figure to have the page up with in a week, so please don't delay if you have an idea.

P.S. Just for an experment added _CoH to my player name to see if anyone would notice. They didn't, but no one was looking for it either. Anyway it was ver easy to do, though not sure if it is really nessisary or not?

I would like to be a part of this chivarly community, are we going to have some sort of name list or something for this?

if this goes ahead i wouldnt mind trying to set up some kind of friendly 1v1 or 2v2 tourney for all signees, might help to get a bit of "team" spirit going :) would anyone be interested?

sounds good, I've always thought there was a lack of tournaments ( not clan bound ) so this would be a great idea, if the whole CoH thing will be a succes.
which it no doubt will

"To always play with an army reasonably balanced according to unit choices available for the particular faction chosen."

This part of the proposed code could be the most difficult to implement, not least because peoples ideas of what is or isn't reasonable can be wildly different (One player once told me he was too good to play with balanced armies). Perhaps some sample armies could be displayed on the web page? Or a cap on the number of elite units put forwards. By Elite I am thinking of pretty much anything that takes 2 or more years to build.

Alternatively Army lists (similar to those used in tabletop wargaming) could be put forwards for each faction. Although impractical for general use maybe they could be used if this tournament ever kicks off?

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick and is the Code of Honour designed to cut out the and make a more atmosphere online rather than try to introduce balanced/historically accurate armies?
