Online Etiquette

[***mh***]

Let's all come up with some universal rules and guidelines in reference to playing RL2 online.... this should cover online behavior, glitch exploitations and lag outs.

I'll kick some off,

Kicking off to your opponent, you should try to keep the ball in play. Kicking it out or short 10 kickoffs can be left to when your playing against the computer.
Scoots from dummy half should only be limited within your own 40 meters. You don't see Buderus scooting when he's 30 meters away from scoring, don't do it here.
If you're losing and disconnect, expect to be reported here. If you disconnected do lag or windows error then you're able to defend your accusation and hopefully successfully request a rematch with that opponent.


how are we going so far?

nice rules, but i bet ya no one will follow them :)

[***mh***]

that's why it's called ettiqutte! if it were legislation then we might have some hope!

[sword]

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to start a list like this!

[PaulFromOz]

Nice, I agree with all of them except for the scooting one.




Adding on to the rule 3


If you are disconnected during a game or the game stuffs up,Try and find the person you were playing or b4 hand tell them you might expeirence some problems


(My first match, I went to play the ball and i couldn't pass, The opponent could still move, Sorry to who you were :) )



Adding onto another rule


4:Don't turn it into Rugby Union, By just kicking field goals whenever you get into your half :cool: (Not that anyone has against me yet)

[Prince EWS]

don't turn it into Rugby Union, By just kicking field goals whenever you get into your half (Not that anyone has against me yet)

I disagree with this rule. Its a legitimate tactic.

It's a cheap tactic...

[Prince EWS]

It's a cheap tactic...

No its not. It could easily become unstuck.

Its a perfectly respectable tactic.

[-JJ-]

I disagree with the first two "rules" you have posted.

But as for the disconnecting when you're losing, that's just sad. I was up 1-0 with 40 seconds to go and had a penalty in favour of me. He pauses. I wait. I wait. I wait. He disconnects. If I could remember his name I would post it in a thread of shame.

Not really... Your markers have slow reactions so you can get at least 8m every scoot.

I was talking about the field goal rule, not the scoot rule.

HAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHA what a saddo.

Yeh and if anyone (Not naming names but i think most people no) pauses the game causing you to quit send an email to online@rugbyleague2.com as mentioned in the terms

[EelsRule2005]

Scoots from dummy half should only be limited within your own 40 meters. You don't see Buderus scooting when he's 30 meters away from scoring, don't do it here.

Yes you do, hookers jumping out from dummy half close to the line is a good tactic, a short ball onto a foward's chest at close range is a great way to score a try in real life.

But the rest of those "rules" (for lack of a better word) are ok.

how are we going so far?

The 3rd one i agree with but the others are rubibish matie, their all legit tactics if u were down by 4 with a minute to go u would try to kick the restart out thats why its in the NRL rules. Ive found its alot harder to do in RL2 than in the first one.

Agree's


Me and Ausnrl just had a cracker of a match =D

How good was your strip, I was bout to score!

Then held up

Then Video ref


On that rule again, Don't be quick to judge and report them, As sometime it might be a legit reason (game crashes)


PM me the person in question Ausnrl

[dutchie]

I was just playing rougetraders in a ranked match and my game crashed to desktop. So i emailed him and told him wat happened.

Its all it takes, just some common courtesy.
