ABOUT • PHILOSOPHY • RULES & OBLIGATIONS
|
The 247th Rapiers name, logo and images within this Wiki page are owned by Jaycius. Any modification or use elsewhere is not permitted without express permission. All rights reserved.
The 247th Rapiers was officially formed on April 20th, 2011 by Jaycius & WarFairy after a few weeks of debating the idea. Gameplay is to be initially concentrated on the battlefields of Arma II, with expansion into further theatres and genres anticipated.
The squad is structured around a British Army rifle company internally, and adopts the British Army rank system also. Clearly this makes the British uniforms our primary choice but we must adapt into game roles as we are needed to. This also does not mean that we limit our recruitment to the tiny island once known as Britannia, and are more than happy to welcome mature players from any corner of the globe. Our squad is not aiming to be the best at what we do, but the best at using our mix of talent, therefore any skill level can join up (subject to satisfactory probation). If you know someone who you think would fit in and compliment our existing team here at the 247th Rapiers, then ask them to get in touch via the Recruitment section.
So what do we do in ARMA II? There is currently no specific role that we aim to fulfill, being your basic tactical infantry squad. Jacks of all trades, masters of none. This may change as the size of the squad grows and skills evolve.
GAMES CURRENTLY ACTIVE:
- ARMA II Combined Operations
ie ARMA II + Operation Arrowhead. (British Armed Forces is preferred as well but optional)
To make sure this squad runs smoothly and true to its ideals, each member follow the rules as laid out below. Failure to adhere to these will result in a warning, and may result in dismissal from the squad.

- All squad members are required to wear the |TG-247th| tags at all times and make use of the squad xml.
- All squad members agree to change their avatar and signature upon becoming a member to comply with the look of the squad.
- (a) Use, and/or modification, of the 247th Rapiers logo, banners, and signature surround is forbidden without express permission from Jaycius. The squad logo and other images are owned by Jaycius and all rights are reserved.
- (b) For your avatar, you can either use the full version (included on the members only forum), or you can ask WarFairy to add a smaller version of it onto your existing avatar. Just send her a PM or ask her on Teamspeak and she will be happy to help you.
- (c) For your signatures, these will be created by WarFairy. If you already have a signature image that you wish to use then send it to her so that it can be modified to fit with our squad's look and be added to the Wiki roster. All signatures can be personalised to whatever you want (within acceptable limits) but are required to use the 247th Rapiers surround and logo. This is to keep a uniform and professional look for the entire squad. This is non-negotiable.
- (d) If you require a copy of the logo or other images to use for anything else, please contact Jaycius, stating your reasons, and this shall be considered.
- All squad members agree to follow the chain of command when gaming. Members are actively encouraged to take the lead for command during play to further their experience and skills. As this will vary who is in charge at the time, you agree to follow any reasonable orders and tactical instruction given.
- Cookies & chocolates are ALWAYS acceptable as bribes. :-P
- Your team come first. All members will endeavour to back up your buddies at all times, working as a coherent unit whenever possible. Lone-soldiering is not permitted, unless ordered to do so.
- All enemy must be killed. If you are not sure, shoot twice in the head.
- Shooting enemy between the legs IS acceptable at all times. An enemy's inability to breed will mean less for you to kill later. LOL
- All members agree to provide assistance to any non-member in a polite, constructive way. Not everybody knows the ins-and-outs of mods and games, so help them out and bring them up to your level. If you are unable to assist, then try to find someone who is, or point them in the direction of the TG forums.
- All squad members will treat other members and players equally, regardless of age, sex, race, location or skill.
- To err is human, but it's against Company policy.

- All members are expected to communicate during battle and training exercises.
- All communications must be in English, Klingon or Minbari. Anyone found to be speaking Chav will be shot on site. LOL
- Laughing at your enemy IS permitted. :-)
- Banter is encouraged between members but know your limits. Bad language, inappropriate sexual or racial comments will not be tolerated. Warnings will be given at command discretion and repeat offenders WILL be dismissed.
- Official squad communications with other organisations is to go through the Officer in Command at all times. If you wish to arrange combat with another group that is fine, but keep command informed.
ATTENDANCE & TRAINING
- All squad members are required to attend a minimum of 2 training sessions per month (either casual gameplay or planned training), unless notification is given in advance of a leave of absence. Failure to notify command may result in dismissal from the squad and require you to re-enlist.

- (ii) Any squad member who fails to attend 1 in 3 planned events will be dismissed without warning. You WILL NOT be permitted to re-enlist. Exceptions can be made in extreme circumstances, but reliability is a key requirement for squad operations.
- All squad members MUST be supporting members of TG. Failure to keep up with payments will result in you being dropped from the squad. If you are having problems, feel free to discuss them with command.
