The official rules and guidelines for Global Warfare 4. Read them in full — moderation is at the team's discretion, and breaking them gets you removed.
If you are not willing to role play, or go along with moments happening on the server, this event may not be for you.
Any intent to purposefully ruin content such as meetings, big moments, big gatherings or other role play moments will result in a ban.
We advise you not to watch streams of creators that are actively playing on the server, as we may interpret your viewing as trying to be malicious or gain information / an advantage.
In short, if you are on the server and watching a stream for any reason, this will be considered stream sniping and may lead to your removal.
How do I claim Twitch Drops when most streamers will be streaming the event? You will be able to watch any stream (not in the event) to get drops. There will also be a few days when the event ends to claim drops. It's not recommended to watch a streamer who's in the event because you'd be gaining unfair intel.
No Cheating or Third-Party Assistance
This includes but is not limited to exploiting, map bugs & plugin bugs.
No Malicious Activity
This includes but is not limited to the intentional ruining of content.
No Insiding / Targeted Harassment
This server is for fun content and code raiding. Insiding, ghosting, running loot out, griefing base builds or locations (etc.) is strictly not allowed.
Placing a TC after a raid is not considered griefing.
Loot will not be refunded in the event of an admin intervention.
No walling off monuments or TC griefing bases.
Quarries are exempt from this walling rule (excav is NOT a quarry!).
Rust Game & Cheating Bans
No Rust Game-banned alts under 180 days.
No Cheating-banned alts under 180 days.
No more than 1 GB or Cheating Ban ever.
No Racism, Hate Speech or Copyright Music
Please do not play music in game.
You will be removed from the event if caught.
Account Limitations
No VPNs.
No new Rust accounts.
No limited accounts.
AFK
Being AFK for extended periods of time will result in a kick!
Attempts to avoid AFK kicks will lead to you being kicked if caught, regardless of how long you were gone (example: auto-swinging hammers).
Teaming / Forming Alliances
No teaming / forming alliances before the event.
Keep all interactions in-game and natural for the storyline.
Fancy cannot capture a proper story if you form alliances outside of the event.
Please report any player attempting to form alliances pre-event.
You are allowed to recruit members before the event, but not alliancing with other countries.
Important: Rules are not limited to what is written above, and we can moderate however we see fit depending on the situation.
Building Rules
You are allowed 3 types of bases for this event:
Main Structure
Meeting Base
Creative Base
Building Rules Video Guide
Watch this video for a visual explanation of the building rules:
Main Structure Rules
Main Structure
Your main structure has to fit within a 16×16 foundation count.
That means from one end of your main structure to the other, there can only be 16 foundations.
Including all peak downs, wide gaps etc.
Peak downs do not have to be connected to central / main TC.
You can only have one (1) main structure per team.
Gate Houses
Can't be more than 7 foundations away from the main structure.
The gate houses can only have a footprint of 5 foundations.
They can only be 1.5 foundations high.
Placing deployables on the roofs is ok.
Compound
You are only allowed one (1) ring of high external walls.
External TCs
You can only have one (1) ring of external Tool Cupboards.
They can only be one (1) high, one (1) wide and one (1) long (1×1×1).
Auxiliary Buildings
Meeting Base
You're allowed to build one (1) meeting base, no larger than a 6×6 footprint.
Creative Bases
All external bases: any bases that are outside of your main structure and "main base" are classed as a "Creative Base". This includes (and is not limited to):
Roleplay bases
Farm, Car & Heli bases
Raid, Defense, Flank & Tower bases
Special buildings (ships, planes etc.)
You may only have one (1) Creative Base limited to a 6×6 footprint.
Villages
Villages are allowed, though you all will still be limited to the one (1) base per team rules.
Roleplay bases
While we understand the need for certain bases to be present for great storylines, you need to be mindful of how these elements can affect the greater area and the server's performance as well.
Exceptions can be made for RP bases to be built.
If these RP bases are built away from the main structure / base, we have less of a problem with this.
Raid Bases
You will be permitted to build a raid base during the event should you choose to raid someone. This will not count towards the creative base count and will be removed by the admin team once the raid has finished.
Important: We will not be allowing crazy large farms or massive electrical builds.
TLDR
You are limited to 3 types of buildings: a main base, a building for meetings, and a creative base.
Buildings have size limits — if your base is bigger than the size rules it may be deleted.
