• EPTG runs Punkbuster on ET and VAC Secure on our TF2 servers 24/7. We have a strict NO TOLERANCE policy for cheaters. We realize that PB and VAC may not always detect the most current bots, cheats, and exploit programs and scripts that some scumbags choose to use, but they WILL catch them in time. Our admins will catch you if they don't. If you cheat, DO NOT play here. If you are caught by PB for cheating, the record will be logged, and you will be permanently banned. EPTG updates PB cheat files on a regular basis. TF2 logs are reviewed at least weekly, and appropriate actions are taken based upon the record.
• If you insist on repeatedly exploiting flaws in the maps or the games themselves, you will be banned (if you don't understand this, then you simply don't need to be on our servers...). The rest of us are here to have fun, not to beat the game out of all the XP or achievments possible... Seriously, get a life...

• Get real people! If you are lame enough to have to use some fancy recoil or other lame script to artificially "enhance" your otherwise pathetic hand-eye-mind coordination, we don't want you. Go find somewhere else to be 1337. Perhaps a World of Warcraft guild would better suit you. How about just playing the game as it was designed? Mmmmkay??....

• Any form of racism will get you swiftly banned with no appeal.
• Derogatory or offensive player names will not be tolerated.
• Derogatory or offensive remarks, language, sprays or attitude will get you kicked, and probably banned.
• Team switching is frowned upon unless used to balance teams. Team switching at the last minute to the winning team in order to pad your stats will get you booted.
• If you are moved by an admin for whatever reason (with or without warning), and move back to where you were, you will be REMOVED from the game.

• Team numbers out of balance by two or more players will be adjusted by rule.
• For matches with an odd number of players, just deal with it. Teams will be adjusted at next map change. Teams may, however, be adjusted at admins discretion.
• If an admin moves you to another team... deal with it. Changing teams or going spectator after the fact will likely result in your removal in order to maintain team balance.
• Teams out of balance by XP may be shuffled at admin discretion. XP equality in teams IS NOT MANDATORY. Some of you guys will lose, and some of you will win. It's the nature of the games. If you find yourself on a losing team... make the best of it and don't cry about it. The next map will always come.

• None. No. Nada. Nyet. Don't even think about it. This rule does not apply to EPTG members. Hey... it's our server. If you don't like it, and you're not a member, JOIN US.

• Players with pings 250 and over may be kicked to preserve bandwidth for other players at admins discretion.

• One word for both: LEGAL, for all classes. Be PREPARED!

• The Pub N' Grill server is moderated and the following rules will be strongly enforced.

NOTE: Medics may play in any style or role they wish with one primary stipulation: medics MUST heal their teammates. Not just a tossed health pack or two or a syringe every now and then, but consistently. It's the job of a medic. Medics must support their team. 1337 MeDiC's who do not, will be warned, then kicked. We realize that 99% of you use the medic class to support your team and that only a choice few will use it for personal gain. Personally, for the 1337 1%... I will have a panzer waiting to take you down.

• The medic class is automatically limited to two slots per team.
• Medics MUST support their team.
• Medics who do not support their team will be removed at admin's discretion.
• MeDiCks who argue with admins will be removed at admin's discretion.

• One word for both: LEGAL. The spawn invulnerability time has been set at 3 seconds. If you can't get out of your spawn in 3 seconds, you don't deserve to get out.

• Shove assisted boosting is disabled.
• Two man boosting is permitted.
• Three man boosting is not permitted and you will be kicked and/or banned. (The three man boost to the outside of the tank guns in oasis to plant dynamite will get you banned.)
• Double jumping is disabled.

• Our Teamspeak server is a semi-private server provided for the benefit of all of our gameserver users
  (non-members and members alike). Although access to the server is controlled via password, (provided from
  ingame banners, and posted on this website as well), it is now open to the public. As always, we will not
  tolerate abuse, abusive language, racism, etc.
  
  For those of you with tender ears... you are strongly advised to stay out of channels designated as
  "Potty Mouth". This is for your own good! ROFL!!

• As before, if you expect to be registered on our teamspeak server, please use the name that
  you registered with on the EPTG website. This does not apply to unregistered "guests".

• MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF ALL: Play as a team and have fun!
