The Exarchs / XRCS

Under Construction…

We don’t have an excessive list of rules within our community, but we do expect all members to employ a certain amount of social etiquette while on our voice server and playing games with us. As such there are some important, yet simple, guidelines that you must understand before applying to join our community, because any member can be asked to leave at any time if he or she does not abide by them. We aren’t trying to be militant, but this is our home and therefore we make the rules. Bear in mind that if you do not agree with the social protocol outlined below then The Exarchs may not be the place for you, and there isn’t anything wrong with that. It simply means that another gaming community may be a better fit. If you apply to The Exarchs, however, we assume that you have read and understand these rules, and that you agree with them. The general guidelines are as follows:

• We are a North American based community, and as such most of our members are American or Canadian. This does not restrict players from other parts of the world from applying, and we do have members that live in Europe and Australia. However, please bear in mind that since communication is paramount to a strong community, fluency in English is required. If we can’t understand you, we can’t communicate with you. Communicate effectively!

• Nothing irritates us more than players who feel the need to tell the entire world about how great they are, either in-game or outside. While we all like to share about our victories from time to time, non-stop bragging about your conquests rapidly gets old. This goes for your gaming conquests as well as your real life conquests (we don’t want to hear about the fifteen hot girls or guys that, you claim, gave you their phone number last week). The difference between swapping stories with friends and the non-stop thumping one’s own chest is pretty obvious, and we will not tolerate the latter. You may be the greatest player alive, but we want to hear about it from other community members, not from you. Shut up and play the game!

• We will not stand for excessively crass or vulgar language on our voice server, on our forums, or in-game (remember, you represent our community whenever you play a game wearing our tag). If you can’t express yourself without using an expletive every other word then The Exarchs is not the place for you. We understand that players often swear when playing games out of frustration, but that is different than using crass language as part of your normal speech. Additionally, it should go without saying that we will not tolerate any abusive language directed at another community member. Please remember that we are trying to maintain a comfortable gaming environment for all of our members. Keep it clean!

• This is a gaming community, not the military, and therefore we don’t expect unrealistic time commitments from our members. We all have lives outside of gaming, and we understand that those take precedent. Having said that, we do expect that members will be active in the community by spending time on our voice server and playing games with us. If we hold special events, members are not required to attend, but we would like it if you could let us know in advance if you can’t make it. Members that are inactive for extended periods of time will be moved to an inactive community roster, and removed from all in-game rosters. Try to be active!
