Rules update
As RvB actual returns to Kakakela its time to clarify and update RvB’s rules.
The rules are split into seven sections:
- RvB ethos
- Equipment rules
- General Rules
- Rules of engagement in Todaki
- Rules of engagement in RvB space
- Rules of engagement – cadets
1. RvB Ethos
.
.
RvB has a limited but clear rule set about combat and conduct – in addition we have an Ethos and tradition that pilots new to RvB should be aware of.
- We don’t fret about losing ships. It is poor form in RvB to endlessly upship to avoid all risk
- If losing ships concerns you deeply there is somewhere else you can go – its called the rest of Eve.
- We measure success via large piles of wreckage, fun fights and good laughs with friends.
- Don’t spend too much time planning fights or theory crafting. Undock your ship and get fighting.
- Win or lose – no crying about lost pixels – just reship and go again. This is the RvB way.
- RvB fights are rarely perfectly balanced – if you are outshipped… deal with it.
- If your fleet is clearly too heavy for your opponents then downship a bit.
- Please avoid being a DICK and cooperate to bring good fights.
- Pilots should be respectful and courteous in RvB to create a safe enjoyable space for all
.
2. Equipment rules
.
.

4. Rules rules of engagement in Todaki
.
.

- Attacking rookies in a spawn system (like Todaki) is an EULA violation and can trigger a CCP ban.
- CCP offers new players in Todaki a measure of protection not found elsewhere in Eve.
- Attempting to abuse a new players lack of knowledge of the game and its mechanic for your personal gain or simply for their harm is prohibited in Todaki.
