Strikes remain on your account for one month and are automatically removed when a month has passed. -

Player Rules
- Please keep in mind that events are meant to be fun for everyone. This means being respectful to both the host and other players!
- • Do not share answers.

- Strike 2: Users will not be able to participate in any GOTW official events until one strike expires - they will be automatically room banned from all events.
Host Rules
- If you are hosting, here are a few things to take note:
- • Please ensure that your events room is fully functional (e.g games have been wired properly, other users do not have rights in your events room - including group admins).
- • Please ensure that your events room has commands off, by doing :room pull etc. (the full list can be seen by doing :room list).
- • The minimum hosting time is 30 minutes and the maximum is 1 hour. Upon successfully completing your event you will receive 25 diamonds, these will be given after you have hosted.
- • Players are able to host one event per 24 hours, if you request to host again before 24 hours has elapsed, other users will be prioritised over yourself. You will be able to host before then if no one else is available.
- • Should you happen to disconnect whilst hosting, you will have 5 minutes to return.
- • You are not allowed to rig events for certain users to win.
- • You are not allowed to kick (without staff permission), ban or mute users.
