			<description><![CDATA[<span style="color: #ff0000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">This list of rules applies to all of the Network's servers. Please read this list to ensure that you are following all of these rules while playing on our servers.</span></span><br />
<ul class="mycode_list"><li>NO usage of racial or bigotry slurs. Softer variants of a slur are given a verbal warning. If continued, punishment will be given out. Usage of racist slurs such as the hard ER will result in an immediate permanent ban without warning.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT impersonate staff or players. This includes having a [STAFF] tag, [ADMIN] tag, etc.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT disrespect players or staff. Doing this can result in a ban without warning.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT chat spam or mic spam. EXAMPLES: Having music playing through your mic, singing into your mic, being obnoxious in chat or voice, shouting at your mic, having your volume up too high, and sending repetitive messages with the intent to be annoying.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT deny players access to other parts of the map. EXAMPLES: Door Blocking (placing objects in front of a door), Door Locking (spamming "e" to prevent a door from opening), or Prop Blocking (placing objects in a corridor with malicious intent).<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT ghost. This includes giving a living player information that they wouldn't already know. This includes using third-party chat software or an in-game method to share information.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT self-advertise in a malicious way. This includes attempting to drive players away from our community by advertising another server or network. Does NOT include steam names (unless it is an IP address or an explicit invitation to join that server/network). YouTube and Twitch are FINE as long as you aren't spamming via voice/text OR if it's not directly advertising another gaming network/discord. If you wish to advertise your YouTube or Twitch we have a discord in which you can do so.<br />
</li>
<li>Users MUST join with with a name that can be interpreted in English. The name must be able to be referenced in both text and voice chat:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>ACCEPTABLE:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Ⓡⓔⓔⓑ<br />
</li>
<li>H3LL0<br />
</li>
<li>qǝǝɹ<br />
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>NOT ACCEPTABLE:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>色调<br />
</li>
<li>مسحة<br />
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Do NOT exploit the map to get to areas that would be otherwise unreachable. (Applies to all servers except TPH!)<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT exploit or abuse game mechanics and items. If you have found a possible exploit, report it immediately to a staff member or our support discord.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT intentionally disrupt or hinder gameplay.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT use third-party programs to cheat, hack, or abuse the mechanics of the game.<br />
</li>
<li>This is an English-speaking network. You MUST speak and use English exclusively on our platforms. If you are speaking another language you will be asked to speak English.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT abuse any commands that come with a rank you have earned/purchased.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT harass players or staff.<br />
</li>
<li>Sprays CANNOT contain pornography of any kind, racial slurs, or otherwise distasteful content.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT intentionally leave the server to avoid punishment.<br />
</li>
<li>Do NOT post any links in the chat. The reasoning behind this is that people can send out malicious links such as viruses/malware, porn, etc.<br />
</li>
<li>All live streams must have a 5-minute delay to prevent ghosting IF you are streaming on our TTT or PropHunt servers. You do not need a delay on our current other ones, however.<br />
</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #ff0000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Rules are subject to change at any given time without warning. It is up to the server staff team to implement these rules and update their handbooks. Penalties will be handled on a server-to-server basis.</span></span>]]></description>

<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: If you choose to register or log in to some of our services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.</span><br />
In the future some of our websites MAY offer you the ability to register and login using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook, Discord, or Twitter logins.) Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture as well as other information you choose to make public on such social media platform.<br />
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant service. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.</span><br />
If you are accessing some of our services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see “WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?” above), in the United States, and other countries.<br />
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will however take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.<br />
European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses<br />
We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.</span><br />
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.<br />
When we have no ongoing legitimate need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.</span><br />
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our services is at your own risk. You should only access our services within a secure environment.<br />

We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.<br />
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protect...dex_en.htm</a>.<br />

To otherwise opt-out, you may contact us using the contact information provided.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES</span><br />
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.<br />

– Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?</span><br />

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: If you choose to register or log in to some of our services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.</span><br />
In the future some of our websites MAY offer you the ability to register and login using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook, Discord, or Twitter logins.) Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture as well as other information you choose to make public on such social media platform.<br />
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant service. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.</span><br />
If you are accessing some of our services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see “WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?” above), in the United States, and other countries.<br />
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will however take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.<br />
European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses<br />
We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.</span><br />
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.<br />
When we have no ongoing legitimate need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.</span><br />
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our services is at your own risk. You should only access our services within a secure environment.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In Short: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.</span><br />
In some regions (like the European Economic Area), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.<br />
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.<br />
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protect...dex_en.htm</a>.<br />
If you are a resident in Switzerland, the contact details for the data protection authorities are available here: <a href="https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html</a>.<br />

<br />
- Contact us at <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">smithtainmentyt@gmail.com </span><br />
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.<br />
- Cookies and similar technologies: <br />
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services on our websites. To opt-out of interest-based advertising by advertisers on our websites visit <a href="http://www.aboutads.info/choices/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://www.aboutads.info/choices/</a>. <br />
- Opting out of email marketing: <br />
You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send or by contacting us using the details provided below. You will then be removed from the marketing email list — however, we may still communicate with you, for example to send you service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes. To otherwise opt-out, you may contact us using the contact information provided.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES</span><br />
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.<br />
<br />

Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system.

We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.<br />
We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. If, however, we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="color: #ff0000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">This page is written for new staff and players. This is mostly paraphrased and condensed from the ACTUAL document, which is in this section as well. This post is NOT a replacement for the network rules and will skip some heavily important parts.</span></span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/16r_2NApzvR5_11mVsxim7oQk8qBkb1mju6PFCrc-bCE/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">View the Full-Length Document</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">What is a network ban?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8888ff;" class="mycode_color">A network ban is a term used for any ban that results in the simultaneous removal of access to the entire network. A network ban has several important characteristics. For one, it can only be enforced by a Network Manager or the Owner, no other staff member can implement a network ban. A player may only submit a network ban appeal twice. This limit applies to future network bans as well. An appeal can only be submitted 30 days after the network ban takes effect. You must contact the network owner first to initiate a network ban appeal.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">What can get my account network banned and how do I avoid it?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff8888;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Network bans have specific rules that must be violated for a network ban to apply. Here is a generalized list.</span></span><br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>Causing drama to harm the network. (Basically, use common sense.)<br />
</li>
<li>Committing fraud against the network. (Deals with charge-back without contacting the network owner. This is explained in the Smithtainment Gaming TOS which can also be read in this section.)<br />
</li>
<li>Intentional accessory to a network-banned individual. (If you assist in an action that gets someone network banned, you can be network banned as well. It also covers hiding or intentionally withholding information that would result in a valid network ban. Example: If you know your friend is doing something network bannable you can get network banned as well).<br />
</li>
<li>Evading a network ban. (If you are network banned, don’t rejoin. Evading a network ban drastically decreases your chances of being accepted. Wait 30 days, then appeal it.)<br />
</li>
<li>Excessive exploitation of bugs. (Anything that pertains to abusing game mode mechanics or utilizing pointshop to cheat in items, while not reporting it to a network developer. Does not include non-serious abuse of mechanics like unstuck abuse, prop surfing, etc. If you find a bug, report it to a developer by making a ticket here.)<br />
</li>
<li>Violating the network terms of service. (Read the network terms of service and use common sense).<br />
</li>
<li>Doing anything that causes harm or endangerment toward staff, players, or the network as a whole. (Disrespect, child pornography, scamming, hacking, pedophilia, cat phishing, doxxing, DDoS Threats/DDoS, handing out viruses, blackmail, and lying on a ban appeal all belong in this category. This is not limited to just these actions and can be expanded if need be. Therefore, use common sense.)<br />
</li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">What is a global ban?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8888ff;" class="mycode_color">Global ban is a term used for any ban that restricts a player’s access to all game servers simultaneously. Global bans follow the same appeal process as a server ban and can be appealed immediately following the ban. Each subsequent appeal can be posted 7 days following the previous, with appeals being immediately denied after 3 unsuccessful appeals. Global bans are enforced by Network Managers or the Owner and can be removed by them as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">What can get my account globally banned and how do I avoid it?</span><br />
<br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>Advertising an unaffiliated server, website, or network on two or more servers. (Any message with an IP or link to any other gaming network, without owner consent, applies here. This also applies to discord server links as well. Does not apply to social media links within reason.)<br />
</li>
<li>Repeating an offense that resulted in a ban on two or more servers.<br />
</li>
<li>Evading a server ban. (If you evade a server ban on either an alternate account or a friend’s account, you will be banned. Appeal your ban first before connecting).<br />
</li>

<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">What is a network ban?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8888ff;" class="mycode_color">A network ban is a term used for any ban that results in the simultaneous removal of access to the entire network. A network ban has several important characteristics. For one, it can only be enforced by a Network Manager or the Owner, no other staff member can implement a network ban. A player may only submit a network ban appeal twice. This limit applies to future network bans as well. An appeal can only be submitted 30 days after the network ban takes effect. You must contact the network owner first to initiate a network ban appeal.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #ff8888;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Network bans have specific rules that must be violated for a network ban to apply. Here is a generalized list.</span></span><br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>Causing drama to harm the network. (Basically, use common sense.)<br />
</li>
<li>Committing fraud against the network. (Deals with charge-back without contacting the network owner. This is explained in the Smithtainment Gaming TOS which can also be read in this section.)<br />
</li>
<li>Intentional accessory to a network-banned individual. (If you assist in an action that gets someone network banned, you can be network banned as well. It also covers hiding or intentionally withholding information that would result in a valid network ban. Example: If you know your friend is doing something network bannable you can get network banned as well).<br />
</li>
<li>Evading a network ban. (If you are network banned, don’t rejoin. Evading a network ban drastically decreases your chances of being accepted. Wait 30 days, then appeal it.)<br />
</li>
<li>Excessive exploitation of bugs. (Anything that pertains to abusing game mode mechanics or utilizing pointshop to cheat in items, while not reporting it to a network developer. Does not include non-serious abuse of mechanics like unstuck abuse, prop surfing, etc. If you find a bug, report it to a developer by making a ticket here.)<br />
</li>
<li>Violating the network terms of service. (Read the network terms of service and use common sense).<br />
</li>
<li>Doing anything that causes harm or endangerment toward staff, players, or the network as a whole. (Disrespect, child pornography, scamming, hacking, pedophilia, cat phishing, doxxing, DDoS Threats/DDoS, handing out viruses, blackmail, and lying on a ban appeal all belong in this category. This is not limited to just these actions and can be expanded if need be. Therefore, use common sense.)<br />
</li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">What is a global ban?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8888ff;" class="mycode_color">Global ban is a term used for any ban that restricts a player’s access to all game servers simultaneously. Global bans follow the same appeal process as a server ban and can be appealed immediately following the ban. Each subsequent appeal can be posted 7 days following the previous, with appeals being immediately denied after 3 unsuccessful appeals. Global bans are enforced by Network Managers or the Owner and can be removed by them as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">What can get my account globally banned and how do I avoid it?</span><br />
<br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>Advertising an unaffiliated server, website, or network on two or more servers. (Any message with an IP or link to any other gaming network, without owner consent, applies here. This also applies to discord server links as well. Does not apply to social media links within reason.)<br />
</li>
<li>Repeating an offense that resulted in a ban on two or more servers.<br />
</li>
<li>Evading a server ban. (If you evade a server ban on either an alternate account or a friend’s account, you will be banned. Appeal your ban first before connecting).<br />
</li>
