Rule 17:
If state factions participate in Gangwar, they will be treated as a "gang" under these rules.
Players are required to stay informed about rule updates and to comply with these rules at all times. Admin instructions take precedence over these rules.

Discussions about "Gangwar-deciding" rule violations will no longer be entertained. If a gang justifiably reports a rule violation during a Gangwar to a team member, the contested area will be reset or reassigned without further discussion.
