As the Code of Honor is a multiplaying (specifically Campus Martius) thing, I'll go ahead and move the thread for you so you can be assisted by the majority of the players who wield the Code of Honor badge.

(Thank You Sheriff Kekvitirae

The _CoH tag is totally optional, but we hope you will use it to further the cause

News from the front…

Just received the 70th signee’s letter, but I know that there are many more out there, as we have only begun to fight!

Still waiting for an Org front page announcement. Tosa has written me back, and is having some kind of programming trouble.

A little “blast from the past” was uncovered recently from the archives of the UGLI forum by the Olds for us. I believe that this was written by Elmo, maybe as long as 3 years ago. He will have to tell us. It was again I believe, the “Code Of Honour” of the Honour Society of the Total War players of that day. I thought you might like to see it.

(And before anyone asks, I don’t know what or if OMO stood for, if anything. Again we will have to ask Elmo.)

Here is the OMO code of honour (note correct spelling you naughty Americans)

The words in the "What OMO is about" section reflect how we try to act.

"We will not flame..."

This means we, as a group, don't condone public statements or actions meant to maliciously insult or embarrass another person or group.

"...cheat..."

This is pretty self explanatory. We, as a group don't condone actions that provide an unfair advantage. We don't use any mods meant to enhance our own or another members' performance.

We don't condone the exploitation of bugs. We won't exploit them and we expect the same of our opponents.

Basically, we expect our members to act like mature adults ( that happen to enjoy playing computer games online ). We'll make mistakes. We'll have bad days. Perfection isn't expected, but consistently good natured, mature behavior is expected.

We take our conduct seriously, but we do not take our self's seriously, at the end of the day were all here for fun and friendship and having a guideline on conduct simply explains what we all think are common sense for mature gamers.

We treat people like we would like to be treated and try to foster an environment of respect without a lot of rules and regulations.

Salute Elmo

ElmarkOFear-sama, huh? High valor warrior and a person I value a lot. I haven't come around to play Rome recently, and I'll probably get bashed like a school boy

, but as soon as I get online, I'll keep an eye out for CoH markings.

If I recall correctly, OMO was (and probably still is) a group of people calling themselves Old Men Online.

The group came to life when some people who enjoyed playing each other with various online games, suddenly discovered, that they all were 30+ of age. That was at a time when most people considered computer games to be something for children. So they formed the OMO society, making 30+ a criterion to enter.

Fortunately things are slowly (very slowly) changeing into the right directions and coputer gaming is beginning to be accepted as a viable past time activity for adults, too. Perhaps one day the question "what level are you on?" will be as acceptable at dinner parties as "what is your handicap?" is now.
