Code of Honor

[Tomisama]

(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.

hey guys, im hoping to see more of you signees online as ive only come across 2 of em outside my clan in the last few weeks :) get online and show everyone else how this game is meant to be played :)

Yes please, consider adding a _CoH to the end of your player name. It’s great that you signed, an important step to take that stand. But if you really want to have an impact on the community, put The Code tag to work.

Last Sunday I actually got a chance to play a few games. Over about a four hour period, I only saw one player with a _CoH (besides my self). The really odd thing was the this person was “not” on our list. At first I thought that that wasn’t right, and that should say something to him. But after short reflection, was truly flattered that someone was claiming The Code, how ever they were doing it.

Now! Not this coming Sunday (Mother’s Day), but the next Sunday the 15th of May, let’s have an Honor Day! Kind of a mass demonstration of mutual support. At least for this occasion, put on you CoH tail, and as many as can, meet up on line and have some fun.

Of course we can have some regular games, and stuff. But I am also working on some ideas for some special (just for fun) competitions, like chariot races, and one unit each 4 man teams, an another one unit game, a “king of the hill” for 8 players. All just silly stuff to have a few laughs.

What do you say? What would be a good time for you? Which foyer should we meet in, and any other ideas?


P.S. Seventy One Code signers as of this evening…

So far I had only meet Rabid and Wishazu. Had a few fun games with rabid and learned a couple of tactics from him too, but I didn't get a chance to play with Wishazu(only met him once). Maybe we should set a regular meeting time/day for COH players to gather and have fun, probably in the chat room or coms room.
