Surf Rules

  • If a player makes it to the end of the map, they must use the !friendly command, or they’re free game. With !friendly, you cannot inflict or take damage.

Trade and Play Rules

  • Do NOT bother other players with the assumption that all items in their backpack are for sale.
  • Do NOT hinder other players’ ability to perform trading activities over voice or text chat.

  • Do NOT exploit glitches, such as throwing The Flying Guillotine through spawn-dividing glass.
  • Do NOT build sentry nests or excessively camp with the intent to troll other players or make areas of the map inaccessible.

  • If you have a freeday, lethal taunting is counted as abuse and bannable.
  • If the Custom Last Request involves a game for the next round, a red intentionally starting the game before the warden is ready to start and kills other reds is considered teamkilling.
