Remeber these rules only apply if you want to be a member or are already a member of =MNKY=, not a member of the forums or the website.

Who are you freaky people?
We are a collection of enthusiastic international gamers focused on team-based online play with a friendly atmosphere, and above all having fun.

Who is clan leader?
Good thing you ask. We don't really have a leader in fact we don't do rankings in the clan at all (except the given ranks in game, but we don't follow those) we have a council that decides on where the clan is heading and what we do. The members of the council are: Dutch_com_freak , ParabellumUK , WPtE , Speckled_Pants , Kraichek , mAdNeSs Chief , and airborne . Btw: if you wanna have a closer look on who's doing what, checkout: This link

But surely, you will have a founder?
Ah. yes! good question again. Our clan is founded by ParabellumUk.

And, i am a new recruit who do i contact?
The first few weeks the recruitment officers can help you out with almost any kind of situation (Singing up, creating accounts etc..)

What is the age limit?
The minimum age required to join this clan is 18 y/o. If you're almost 18, we are willing to make an exception. However, this means that you're in a trial-period until you reach the age of 18. If it becomes clear to us that you don't fit the profile of a =MNKY= member within this period, you will receive a warning to adjust your attitude or we decide that it is time to leave the clan. When you reach the age of 18, its not a problem to come back. However, you'll have to undergo a new trial period to prove you've improved your attitude. if you are 18 in 3 months then you will not be able to join after a period of 4 months. Members that have joined before Jan 2009 and have not yet reached the age of 18 do not fall under this rule since it was introduced in April 2009! They have a minimum age of 16 y/o .

What do I need before I join this clan?
In this clan we use Xfire to communicate (broadcast messages) with each other when no training or match is being held. We also use TeamSpeak during normal play, our trainings and matches. A proper-functioning headset (headphone with microphone) is required. (Its allowed to use a separated mike and headphone, but no speakers!). We can help you set-up Teamspeak and Xfire just ask.. if you have a microphone that is (for teamspeak))

In the past we have had users that did not have a microphone for teamspeak and to prevent any annoyance we experienced in the past a Headset (or sepporate mic and headphones) are required! You will be required to use Xfire and Teamspeak since there the only programs we use to communicate (except from the website.)

Can u use a illegal version of a game?
Because illegal versions of games can cause problems, and because this cannot happen (during a clan war), you are required to own a legal version of the game with a legal serial number.

What are the main rules of this clan?
A few important main rules:
1. Don't pick fights with fellow clan members. Having a different opinion is allowed But make sure to keep it that way.
2. When you are carrying the =MNKY= or =MNKY:NR= clantag, it is absolutely, under no condition or excuse, allowed to cheat. If you really want to test a cheat for whatever reason this clan is probably not your clan. If it turns out you cheat anyway, You will be banned from the clan. Note that banned players may not return under any circumstances.
3. If your not that active in game then post (anything) up on our forums, so we know your still alive

* Donations:
We use a private war server that is hosted at rackage. This server costs us a lot of money. Therefore we will be required to pay for our servers. We don't say you need to pay to be in this clan but as little as 5 pounds (pp.) is enough for 1 month and we are sure you can afford this. but keep in mind that you don't need to be actively paying for a server.
Payments start on every 17th of the month. For questions about payment, please refer to Parabellum or Dutch_com_freak.

* Recruitment (try out):
When you join the clan, the only thing you'll need to do is register in the forums and fill in a application on the homepage (click the purple apply button). We will contact you shortly and tell you if either you may join or not. The next step will be altering your tag in the game itself. You may of cource ask for support in how to change that since every game does this differently. We are sure anyone that plays the game you want your name changed in, will be glad to help you. Otherwise ask a member of the council. New recruits wear the =MNKY:NR= tags until a member of the council decides otherwise.

* Activity:
Every member has to play active in order to maintain their =MNKY= full membership status, if we think you don't show up enough, we will consider down ranking you, or in an extreme way, removing you from our website. If you play every day and/or you contribute (donate) to this clan, we will consider up ranking you.

* Leaving:
Every member has the right to leave. if this is the case we will want to know why and you can diced not to tell us why. But at the time u decide to leave we take steps needed to revoke your rights on servers etc. Your website account will stay active! except in extreme conditions.

* Obedience:
'You are required to listen and respect your superiors wishes and demands at all times'.... eh NO?....sorry we don't do it this way. Since were all a friendly bunch we will ask you if you want to do something for us. if not... tough luck although it will not give you any credits in the clan (except if its impossible for you to do).

* Vacation:
If you're planning to go on a vacation (or just take a step back), please let us know at least one week in advance. You can do this by posting a message in the forum (under members related), or by talking to a staff member on xfire / teamspeak. You're not required to go into details.

* Playtime:
If =MNKY= is playing on a public server, the server ip will be shown on Xfire or inserted into teamspeak.
When =MNKY= is having a training everyone is allowed to join in at any given point. To join in late first ask this on Teamspeak and Xfire.
When =MNKY= is already playing a WAR, we will be in the warchannel and members will not be allowed to join either our channel or the game server of where the activity is being held. Not even if you have admin rights. Members of the council can join these channels with respect to the players that are in a war.

* Configuration/setup:
Because we want to get rid of the little annoyance we experienced in the past, we made up a few rules:
* You are required to play with a headphone (can be a headset)
* You are required to own a proper microphone (can be a headset)
* You are required to use the 'push to talk' function in teamspeak, so we will only hear you when you want us to.

in a war(scrim).
* You are required to apply the 'dead can't talk' rule. After you die, you can only tell us your last location, no more, no less.
* You are required to only use the WAR channel for 'battlefield or Call of Duty' related business. If you want to talk about the birds and the tree's thats fine, but do it by text-chat in game. So when you're dead, you're quiet. (with the exception of the squad leader giving instructions.)

Teamplay
* First of all, we are (unlike normally) very strict on rules within a match(scrim). Either follow them or dont play the next time.
* You are required to know the tactical system, if you are not informed(yet), ask a the wararranger =MNKY= Frosty or a recruiting officer.
* You are required to follow Squad leader commands, even if it ends up in you being killed. It happens too often that people think they can do better when in another spot. We have balanced our tactics and are aware of the possible holes which are present in these tactics. Therefore they are being tested. When you perform an action multiple times, you'll learn to deal with the situation. So, don't act alone, unless you've got the permission to do so.
* When you are operating with someone else with you, don't go for the kill, go for the protection of the other person. Too often has it happened that someone jumped in front of the other to try and claim the kill, so that the other had to stop firing in an attempt to avoid hitting you, and get (you/himself) killed in the process.
