Houses

To be fully recognized as a house, there must be at least five active members shown on the house roster (alternate characters do not count).

Once a house meets this minimum requirement, its leader can submit a house banner, schedule events, and request a TeamSpeak channel.

Houses that are found to no longer meet this requirement are subject to losing their in-game banner and TeamSpeak channel.

Requesting a TeamSpeak Channel

Post applications for official TeamSpeak house channels in our TeamSpeak board.

House Name: 
Channel Admins: 
Sub-channels: 
TeamSpeak: ts3.nordinvasion.com
Channel Leader / Captain: Only house leaders and captains can receive these groups.
They can change channel passwords, titles, and descriptions.
They can assign people as Members and Applicants.
Sub-channels: Up to two sub-channels can be requested.
“Member only” sub-channels can also be requested. (Only Members and Applicants can join these.)

After your channel has been created, join the channel and ask a Developer or Senior Admin for your Channel Admin status.

Please note that super inactive houses may lose their channels and have to reapply.

Scheduling House Events

If you are interested in hosting a house event and want to reserve a NordInvasion server please follow this guide.

Understand that we are trusting server space to your house. The reputation of the host will be harmed if glitching/exploiting occurs during events. Failure to follow the rules may lead to a house ban from events.

Application

Send a PM to the Event Coordinator at least one day prior to date sought.

Name of House:
Date/Time to start at (please use GMT):
Server Region (NA / EU / AU):
House Tag (Server Name):
Server Mode (Normal / Hard / Ragnarok):
Server Password:
The maps you would like to play:
Any other considerations:

If the event application is confirmed, please log onto IRC around 1 hour before your event and speak to an admin there to activate the server. Start with admins from the list below.

EU / NA Events
The_Irish_Eagle
Patroklos
Kip

AU Events
Benschie

Important Timezone Tips
We are using GMT/UTC for the date and time. Please do not confuse it with BST in summer (which is GMT + 1).

If the timezone conversion jumps across dates, make sure you submit the correct date for GMT. An evening event in NA might very well need to be applied for as a morning event on the next day in GMT.

We consider midnight (00:00) as the start of the day, not the end of it. For example, 23:59 of the 7th is followed by 00:00 of the 8th.

Allied Events

Houses that cannot meet the 5 house participant minimum requirement have the option of hosting allied events. This would allow the combined number of participants from the two allies to count toward the 5 house participant requirement. To apply for an allied event, list both house names in the application and mention that it is an allied event in the “Any other considerations” section. A representative from the allied house must also PM the coordinator to confirm the agreement.

Note: The allied event will count as one of the two events allowed to each house for that week.

Scheduling Rules

  • Requests must be submitted at least one day in advance.
  • Server space is allocated based on availability. You might have to reschedule or use a server in another region.
  • The server is not booked until you receive conformation from an admin with the server password. If you do not receive confirmation for your event, please send a message to another of the admins in the above list for your region.
  • Each house can have only two events in a week.
  • Don't schedule an event unless you actually believe you will have enough members to attend. If two events are canceled in a row, there will be an at least two week cool-down period without events.
  • Don't send requests to Hypernoma. They will not be accepted.

Server Rules

  • Notify the event coordinator if the server's maps are not up to date.
  • Events are limited to 3 hours. (Permission can be sought for an extension above the 3 hour limit. This will be judged on a subjective basis.)
  • Do not use the event server before the scheduled start time.
  • Events need a minimum of 5 members from the host house playing. Otherwise, the event must be open without a password.
    • Events starting with fewer than five members can remain private for up to 30 minutes to gather the five members.
    • If after the first 30 minutes the event has fewer than five members playing, contact an admin on IRC to have it opened.
    • Once an event is opened, it cannot be passworded again and must be closed at the end of that round/map.
  • When the Event has ended, please contact an Admin via IRC so the server can be reset.

Submitting a House Banner

Submit your banner by posting it in the Official House Banner Update Pack thread.

Banners must meet the following requirements:

  • No images under copyright or trademark.
  • Nothing inappropriate (ex. profane words, nudity, explicit/offensive symbols, etc.)
  • Attempt to make it look like a proper banner, not just an image formatted in a banner shape. For example use the cloth layer style as a template to build upon when making a banner.
