WAR ADMINISTRATION War Administration has full authority over all active faction wars. During an active war, War Administration may: • Pause a war, restart a round, issue Round Replays (RR), award rounds. • Request POVs and startup clips. • Remove players, issue Round Losses, disqualify players or entire factions. • Void a war, and rule on any situation not specifically covered within these rules. WAR ADMINISTRATION HAS THE FINAL SAY WHILE A WAR IS ACTIVE All rulings made during the war must be followed immediately. If you disagree with a ruling or believe a War Administrator acted improperly, • Do NOT argue during the war. • Finish the war first, then open a Staff Report with any supporting evidence. Refusing to follow War Administration or disrupting an active war may result in additional punishment. War Administration reserves the right to overturn, void, remove, or wipe any faction war result if evidence of cheating, foul play, rule manipulation, or abuse is discovered after the war has concluded. PENALTIES Depending on severity, War Administration may issue: • Warning / Round Replay (RR) / Round Loss / Player DQ / Full War DQ. • Temporary or Permanent War Suspension / Faction Strike / Faction War Wins Wiped. ADDITIONAL RULES • Both faction leaders may agree to additional rules before the war begins. • Any agreed rules must be posted inside the war ticket before Round One starts. • Once Round One begins, no additional rules may be added or changed. • Any situation not covered by this rulebook will be decided by War Administration.
