Hi all.
Thanks for checking out our rust servers if you have done so.
As you may know, legacy is still running. that seems to be running fine, bar a couple of things.
Experimental is also running, and is always being updated and changing on a daily basis.
Please feel free to pass on any comments or issues you find on the servers. This would help us in getting everything right for your game time on GetSome.
Thanks

If you are experiencing regular lagging, that is unusual, please let us know.
I am doing a little research about this so i can work out what needs to be done.
thank you!

Greetings to all, Merry Christmas!!
I shall hope you had a great day and got merry and spent some time with your family before your gaming life took over again..
Now that the holidays are in full swing, things have been getting busier on the servers. All of our servers have been very active, it is a great sight to see.
When it comes to trading, it appears that we still have a few people that are new to trading or un aware of general item prices when trading. This leads to scamming, reporting and general, he said-she said issues. While we like to see the new players trading, we also try our best to point them in the right direction. When you want to know a price for an item, we like to use backpack.tf's price check system, !pc. These prices are as up to date as they can be, but they are still advised prices. sometimes people want overpay, sometimes they want less for an item, just to get rid of it. Use the pricecheck to get an estimate on what you would be looking for. This way there can be less complaint and accusations when it comes to someone trying to rip you off. REMEMBER, if you don't like the deal, press cancel trade. no one is forcing you to press the button.
Also on the trading note. If you trade with a user, and complete the trade. Thats it! There is no refund, no asking for your items back, NO NOTHING! Trading is at your own risk, as you tick a box and confirm the trade. If you are playing a game during a trade, be aware of what you are doing. It is your fault for going through with it!
Now you may of noticed, we have a third Trade server. This is due to the heavy use of the Trade1 server. We needed an overflow and the minecraft server is not suitable, so we put another up. Put it to use!! Currently it is running the new alpha version of GetSome Trade. A new map that is currently being made. Say thanks to vitamin carrot for his efforts. He has put in a lot of effort in the last couple of weeks to push the alpha version out for christmas.
I have also turned the 24/7 #3 server into Fun #3 tf2ware. This mod has been remade and some extra microgames added to it. Its really fun and quite full on for those that like a slower paced game. Give it a shot!
I have also altered the names of some of our servers, in an attempt to make it a lot tidier and more understandable. These are mainly the Fun servers.
Our promotions before christmas time went very well. The Task Manager winner taking away an unusual item and 2 keys. The winner was raydiense. Second place was Jarrey, and third was Cmuir. Congrats to these guys. and also thanks to all of you who participated in the promotion. For those that completed 15+ tasks, they also get a bonus item.
In Jan, there will be another promotion announced, so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
STATS TIME!!! General: 2968 (16367) MvM: 8107 (34962) Trade: 4301 (23590) Hale: 2921 (13077) Numbers are slightly down on last month, an update has just come out so in general we expect the numbers to climb back up again. But still holding steady.
At the end of the newsletter I like to speak admins. As we have had some inactive admins, we have decided to let a couple go and recruit a couple more to replace them. Please welcome Dooby, Raydiense and Lil' Turtle. These guys have been regulars on our servers for quite some time.
We are also going to be adding a few to our new VIP team, they will be able to help us out when it comes to the busy periods of the day. Please do not ask how to get VIP or try to bribe admins for it. We will be hand picking these people. Not all regulars get a shoe in.
Thanks yet again for supporting GetSome TF2. Have a safe new year and don't get lost!!!
Gutty GetSome TF2 Head Administrator

These rules apply to all of GetSome TF2 servers. There may be additions to specific game modes at the bottom of the page.
If you have any issues on a server, make a post in the TF2 or bans and complaints forum. There is also /report if you are in the server. But there may not always be a response. Overuse of the report may also see you ignored.
GENERAL RULES
Admin Intervention GetSome admins could intervene on any issue that may arise, that is not covered below.
General Conduct While using our servers, you are expected to follow the rules and regulations of the servers. Anything that you may be doing that is bought to the attention of an admin, may result in due action being taken.
1v1 / private dueling / asking people to leave If you wish to have a duel with a friend, and want the server all to yourself, then make your own. GetSome servers are public servers, everyone has a right to play on them. If you are seen to be asking or telling people to leave, you will be banned.
Cheating / Exploiting NO Cheating, by hacking or any other means, to enable abilities or cheats that are not accessible in the standard game. Exploiting maps in anyway is also not allowed. This includes random glitch spots.
Begging There is to be NO begging for items, no asking admins to do something to you, eg, noclip, slap, forceclass etc.
Random Commands The use of commands such as /me !me or other commands that allow you to evade a gag/mute or chat while dead, is not allowed. You may get a warning, or kicked and banned.
Command Spam Game commands spamming (spamming "Medic" or "Incoming" etc). This includes intel spam (2 or more players swap intel over and over, to be annoying).
Communications Spam NO Microphone or chat spamming. This includes players that speak for long periods of time. Talking over someone while they are talking is also not acceptable. Text/Bind spam is also not acceptable, you only need to say it once. Over use of binds saying the same quotes is not allowed. There are many terms, spam, spamming, flooding, repeating. These all fall under this rule.
Racism / Language Using racist, sexist or otherwise offensive language, comments or words in the foray in any context towards any person. This includes excessive profanity, and over use of the word racist.
Disabilities, Gender abuse etc Abusing other users & admins about their possible disability or their sexual gender is not excusable. Everyone lives a different life to you. DO NOT JUDGE!
No pornographic or offensive sprays Pornographic sprays or any other material that people may find offensive.
Disrespect Abusing or harassing players or administrators, this includes disagreement. Admins have a right to deal with the issue if it becomes a problem. If you have an issue, post on the group or website forums.
AFK/Idle Going away from your keyboard for an excessive amount of time without dropping out of the game (idle). Most of our servers run an AFK kicker, which may trigger.
Admin & Player Impersonation/Harrasment Impersonating any player/admin or implying that you can get people banned/kicked/etc without due cause. Harrasing an admin is also prohibited. You are allowed to talk to and with them, but being annoying gets you nowhere, you may be kicked. Using another players name is also prohibited.
Links NO Links of any form in your name, global or team chat, this applies to advertising other servers and websites. "oops" is not an excuse. If you have been warned before, and do it again, you may be kicked/banned with no warnings.
Server Advertising NO external server advertising is allowed. This goes for all servers outside the GetSome organisation. Warnings may be given, but a kick/ban could come your way.
Ghosting Ghosting/LANing/Screening by having someone who is dead telling a person who is alive where everyone is on the map. This gives that person a huge unfair advantage and will not be tolerated.
Silly faces aka lenny These faces, usually binds, are now a kick/bannable offence. They are being overused and spammed way too much. Action is being taken to prevent this.
F2P There is currently a silence of 5 minutes every time a user says F2P, this is to deter those users harassing other players for being f2p.
Your Game Name/Server Name Your player name (nickname) should be readable and hopefully pronounceable. You are not allowed to fill it up with heaps of random icons, web links, gaps/spaces or rubbish either. No face names of any kind are allowed to be used, this makes for harder trading and annoyance for admins. If you are also seen to have NO NAME(blank) or a face in your name, you will be asked to change it. If not, admins will change it for you. Ignoring this will have you banned.
Trading No advertising trades unless you are on one of the dedicated Trade servers. To get to these, type !servers.
TRADE SERVERS
Trade Advertising You are allowed to advertise, but because we have 2 trade servers linked together, we like some control on it. Advertise on text chat once every 30 seconds at least. Advertise on voice chat once every 2 minutes. You are not allowed to trade steal, this means you can not beat someone else's offer if a buyer is already interested in said offer. No advertising of BUYING QUICKSELLS is allowed. You are not to have any unnecessary lines, dots, ascii or gaps in your advert either. Failure to follow this rule may result in action.
Mini Games From time to time, admins and regulars like to host some minigames on the trade servers. Sometimes they give out prizes. If you are on the server at the time, you may be or have the chance to participate. If you do not wish to, that does not give you the right to go around killing and ruining the minigames for those that are. You may be asked to stop, move to another server, or possibly kicked from the server.
Spycrabbing Spycrabbing is at your own risk, but we like to set some basic boundaries. You run, and the other user complains, you may be banned. Don't spycrab if you don't know what you are doing. You are advised to use a middleman (trusted regular or admin) for anything over 1 ref.
Scamming/Sharking Scamming will not be tolerated on this server, however sharking is up to the players to protect themselves. please make sure you understand and know what you are trading before trading with someone. We cannot do anything in relation to a trade offer. If you accept it, it's not our problem. However we would like to know about these people, so we can keep an eye on them if they return in the future.
Random Trading We do not like random trade requests, most people don't like it, so please don't do it. If you are looking to buy, then make a Buying advert.
Raffles There are to be no raffles, no advertising of them or any form of links to private pages etc regarding them. Please see head admins if you must do one. GetSome admins may do raffles from time to time using the scrap.tf system.
Spy Teleports No reverse teleports. This means trying to teleport an enemy spy into your base. This is not allowed.
Weapon Spam Weapon spam is not advised. For example: Panning is where you have equipped the item PAN, and are going around panning everything and everyone. This is not tolerated.
HALE SERVERS
AFK Hale No pretending to be AFK as Hale. For example, you stay at your spawn and wait until other people come to you. They get some damage onto you and you end up killing them. Failure to do so may see you kicked from the server.
Camping / Delaying of the round. It is not advised to be camping in a particular area/spot where hale cannot reach or find you. This is delaying the round. If you are the last one alive, you are expected to be fighting, not hiding.
Friendly We like you to be friends with other players, but we do not like it when the last few players are not killing or attempting to kill hale, instead are just mucking around and delaying the round. Round timers are put in place to speed up rounds.
Trade Advertising No trade requests to be sent while in game, attempted sabotage is NOT advised. Trading should be done in our trade servers, no trading is allowed on hale servers. DO NOT SPAM YOUR TRADE ADVERT ON VOICE OR TEXT CHAT!
MvM SERVERS
AFK It is not advised to be AFK on the MvM servers, as they have limited player slots, others might want to come on and actually play. If you are seen to be AFK for an excessive amount of time, you may be kicked.
Trading Trading is not allowed on these servers, as it is delaying the round, and not helpful to other players who may need your help. If you need to quick trade for pass over items, then that is fine.
General Nuisance We do not like players being on a server and not playing the game. It takes up a slot for someone that wants to play. So just play!
Disclaimer These rules apply to all GetSome TF2 servers. If you are found to be breaking any one of these rules, action may be taken. If for some reason you are breaking the rules and nothing is done about, just be aware that admins may still be watching. Admins can slap/slay/kick/ban whenever they see fit. They do not always need a reason for doing so. Usually there is a reason for doing it, so there would be no need to justify. If you are found to be ignoring rules and/or admins, you may be dealt with accordingly. GetSome bans are across all our servers. If you wish to appeal a ban, you will find the server bans and complaints forum on the main forums tab of the GetSome website. If players/users of GetSome servers undermine or question admin actions, don't be surprised if an admin mutes/gags/kicks/bans you. These rules may be adjusted where required.
