Ownage

Supergroup

Code of

Ethics

June 2007

Dear Ownage Members:

In Ownage, we are committed to promoting, through our Members, the highest level of gameplay

and standards. Remember, Ownage always comes first.

We have established the Code of Ethics to inform Ownage Members of their moral, ethical, and

legal obligations.

This Code of Ethics brings together guidance on many of the ethical issues that members may face

on a day-to-day basis. We hope that is serves as a helpful reference, but it is important to

remember that by its nature, the Code of Ethics offers summary information on many of the topics

it covers. As such, members should always refer to the Senate if they need more detailed

information.

It is critical that all members understand and comply with this Code of Ethics. Compliance is a

condition of membership for all levels and Ownage is dedicated to its strict enforcement. If

questions or concerns relating to the Code of Ethics arise, members are encouraged and empowered

to resolve those issue through their normal Chain Of Command.

Ownage’s reputation as leader and our passion for making our Vision and Mission a reality can

only be achieved through the honest and ethical efforts of our members. Remember that your

everyday decisions make all the difference in maintaining Ownage’s high ethical standards.

In Ownage, we are confident that with your dedicated commitment to compliant behavior, we will

all do the right thing for Ownage and the many ideals we serve.

Introduction

It is the policy of Ownage to conduct Game Play in accordance with a strict and specific

Code of Ethics. The Leader as well as all of the Senate and Ownage Members are expected

to conduct Game Play while adhering to high moral and ethical standards, and to avoid any

actual impropriety, or appearance of impropriety. To this end, all of Ownage is expected to

conduct Game Play in full compliance with all applicable rules and regulations and with

Ownage’s Policies and Procedures including, but not limited to, those discussed in this

Code of Ethics. Ownage does not tolerate retaliation against any other Member who

raises concerns or questions regarding a potential violation of Ownage’s Code of

Ethics that the Member believes to have occurred.

Ownage’s Vision, Strategy, and Value Proposition

Ownage’s vision is to best promote, through our Members, the highest level of enjoyable

Game Play for everyone inside of Ownage as well as out.

Ownage’s strategy is to provide assistance, items, and influence whenever requested so a

high level of satisfaction is kept at all times.

Ownage’s Value Proposition to the non-members is to provide a fun teaming experience

while offering friendly advice and assistance whenever the need arises.

Ownage Always Comes First

In Ownage, we believe it is better to recruit Heroes that really enjoy the game and that are

willing to learn, than to recruit Heroes with a closed, unwilling mind. This belief stems

from Ownage’s commitment to making sure that all Members are always comfortable and

content no matter what the situation. Your everyday decisions make all the difference in

achieving Ownage’s high ethical standards regarding Game Play.

Dealing With Members and Non Members

Ownage creates a fun and exciting Gaming experience for all Members and Non Members.

Several different styles of teams are created constantly to keep the level and quality of

Game Play high at all times. We strive to be the best no matter what the situation, while

still maintaining an enjoyable, comfortable environment.

Ownage and Ownage Member Privacy

If any information from Ownage is disclosed to you, you have the responsibility to respect

that information and its confidentiality to the highest degree. This is to protect it from

misuse or unauthorized disclosure. In Ownage we take this responsibility seriously and

expect all Members to do the same. Disclosing any confidential information to Non

Members is strictly prohibited. Members are required to immediately report any suspected

or actual failure to protect Ownage information to a Senate Member or to the Lead.

Advertising Practices

Ownage’s advertising practices show our extreme close-knit bonds within one and other, as

well as our endless willingness to assist others, Members and Non Members alike. If a

Member of Ownage would like to advertise, make sure to tell the facts-do not over

exaggerate or boast in any form. We are here to be a down to earth, yet extremely

organized, tactical Supergroup.

Conduct During Play Time

Harassment

Ownage will not tolerate harassment of any level. Here is a list of several reasons for

harassment:

Power Leveling/Farming (the act being requested of the farmer in most cases)

“Inferior” Builds

New Player

Conflict of IRL (In Real Life) Interests

Etc…

Please keep in mind that although Ownage does have Rules and Regulations, we do not

condone, by any means, the belittlement of a fellow Ownage Member.

Asset Protection

Protecting Ownage’s assets is every Member’s responsibility. Each Member is 100%

entitled to the items that are located in the base storage unless otherwise specified. If you

become aware of any large potential losses to Ownage, you have an obligation to report it.

Conflict of Interest

The term “Conflict of Interest” refers to incidents that may occur during time of Game Play.

There are instances where you as a Member of Ownage may not agree with any one person

of the SG (Supergroup). This Conflict of Interest should be dealt with amongst the involved

parties only. If there are extenuating circumstances where either Member has broken an

Ethical or Moral Obligation, then this should be directed to your Chain of Command

immediately. We, as Ownage, strive to keep our environment as comfortable as possible,

and to do this, we need to keep communication at all times.

Acceptance of Gifts or Gratuities

Ownage always wishes to stay fair with its dispersion of certain gifts or privileges offered.

No one should ever favor one Ownage Member over another, we are all equal, and at that,

should all receive equal attention. Whether you are offered a gift, or even given a certain

privilege, each of these are just that, and should not be automatically expected to happen in

the future.

Non-Disparagement of Ownage

It is inappropriate for Members to publicly make negative remarks about Ownage.

Members are therefore expected to refrain from making any negative comments about

Ownage to any Non Members and must not otherwise disparage either Ownage’s reputation

as a Supergroup or the reputations of the Lead, Senate, or Ownage Members. If you have a

grievance or concern, you should work within the SG to obtain a resolution.

Post Separation Responsibility

In consideration of being a Member or having been a Member of Ownage, you agree to

adhere to certain responsibilities. If you are removed from Ownage, you agree to not

interfere with Ownage’s Game Play by directly or indirectly, on behalf of yourself or any

other Hero, attempt to sabotage any form of Game Play by Ownage. Your obligation to

keep the secrets of Ownage in strict confidence continues both during your time as a

Member and forever following your separation from being a Member. Once released, you

are allowed to join another Supergroup and compete with Ownage. However, you may not

use any of Ownage’s confidential information to compete with Ownage or to engage in acts

that would constitute unfair competition.

For All of Ownage…

Thank you for being a Member! We sure hope to see you with us for infinite gaming hours

to come. Now, let’s get out there and make Ownage the #1 that we know it can be! See you

in game everyone!
