  1. Why can’t I play with you anymore? Server policing in Counter Strike Mid-Semester presentation Britt, Søren & Tore Group 9

  2. The presentation • Brief overview of a game session • Server rules • Consequences for players

  3. Beginning a ’typical’ CS Session • Log on via Steam and look for a server • Often between 8-16 players • Some maps can handle up to 32 • Join a server • Agree to the server rules • Start playing

  4. Server Rules • Outside the actual game • Private documents • Written by the admins of the server • Not monitored or controlled by Valve

  5. Why these ’house rules’? • Technological issue becomes a social issue • Lessig • Cyberspace is not inherently free, but is dependent on the code that lies beneath it? • Auto-kick for idling or team killing • Only few players can be in a game • No room for goof-offs

  6. Why these ’house rules’? • Emphasize a good game experiece • Server rules differentiate the clan from others • Subcultural differentiation • No racist remarks • Do not shoot hostages • Some players do that, we do not!

  7. Consequences • This is my house, and if you don’t like it… • Valve takes no responsibilities for server admins’ actions. Kicks with no warnings • Offensive content • A jungle for beginners
