RULES OF CONDUCT:

Members are encouraged to:

* help fellow members;

* uphold the ideals of honor and fairplay;

* and show loyalty* to the organization.

The following conduct is discouraged as it reflects badly upon the organization:

* Ninja-looting: stealing a team-loot meant for another teammate

* Begging in public

* Kill-stealing: trying to steal the kill of another player who first started to kill the mob

* Unfair player-versus-player fights: killing the other player when not agreed upon or 'ganking' (this does not apply in cases involving tower wars)

* Training others: drawing a group of mobs unto another player without a prior /shout warning (AO classifies this as harassment and may result in the cancellation of player account should a petition be filed by a complainant.)

* Unfair player trades: getting an item in trade without paying for it or receiving money without giving the item to be traded

* and other dishonorable acts unbecoming a samurai of Juppongatana

Applying the presumption of innocence, no complaint against a member shall be acted upon without a thorough investigation. Each complaint shall be handled on a case-to-case basis and investigated by at least 1 Unit Commander. A recommendation on the case shall then be forwarded to the President for action.

Loyalty is demonstrated by promoting, upholding and defending the name and integrity of the Organization.
