Subj : Re: Re:USO Rule #4 To : All From : Father Cajone Date : Tue Dec 31 2002 09:01 am One team was deleted for "megacorping" due to an ambiguous msg that arrived to another corp about an invasion was happening. The corp that recieved the msg all did a CBY after the deleted corp was deleted as a principle of honor. Some players retain that concept! >From a message by SupGx about Re:USO Rule #4: > I'm sick of everyone bitching about rules without puttin thought into reading them.. the VNC/Proxy rule is unenforceable, I imagine the rule is in there to try to let people know that it is wrong and shouldn't be done, but in all reality there is nothing anyone can do about it. > > > own turns his/her self. (Not entirely sub space scripted) > > > > > > ****** Not entirely?? what does this mean?? who determines the entirety en·tire·ly (n-trl) adv. 1.. Wholly; completely: entirely satisfied with the meal. 2.. Solely or exclusively: He was entirely to blame To me, entirely would mean completely scripted, unless you have a different definition of entirely... And I believe people got deleted from last years USO for megacorping, not duping. You have a nice day as well...
