As with any clan, we can all expect a few house rules to make things run smoothly, and which also gives you a sense of what type of clan we are so you can make a sound decision on whether you'll fit in or not.
Rule#1: HAVE FUN!! As we are the "new and improved" HL, we are going to be a lot less strict as we were before. There will still be expectations from clan members, but all in all, we're here to have a good time.
Rule#2: Respect ALL other clan members, as well as guests to our forums and server.
Rule#3: Do what is asked of you by higher-ups in the clan. This isn't only in regards to basic chain-of-command. We have some very talented players in HL, a couple of which have been playing since SWAT first came out. These people will be able to help you improve your skills, and become a better player and team member.
Rule#4: Do your part as a member of HL by reporting any bad behavior in the server or forums to an Admin. This will ensure that our forums and server stay problem-free, and that everyone can enjoy the game without hassle.
Rule#5: Please wear your tags at all times while in our server. I would hope that you wear them all the time, but if you're smurfing in other servers, it probably means you've done something to embarrass the HL name or your own. Let's hope that's not the case.
Besides the rules above, we encourage everyone to be on TeamSpeak as much as possible. This is not mandatory, however it does make it easier to communicate and do well in-game. We will also require all members to download Xfire if they haven't already, found at
www.xfire.com. This is a useful way to keep in touch with each other, and to receive clan announcements so we're all on the same page all the time.
