Hello Badlion Players, we hope you are enjoying the first day of Badlion UHC Season 8. We have decided to introduce the strike system and a new set of rules effective immediately.

New Rules

From 50x50 and on, hosts can now assign forced fights between two players/teams after fighting has stopped between all players for over a minute. Refusal to fight who the host assigns to the death will result in immediate deathbans.

Interfering in an host-assigned fight in any way, shape, or form until one side is dead will result in immediate deathban for everyone who interfered. If you wish to clean a host-assigned fight, you must wait until one side is fully eliminated.

We have decided to add the above rules to help combat blatant trucing, teaming disguised as cleaning, and delay of game finishes. While people will say this isn't UHC, neither is standing in a corner waiting for 2 people to fight and then doing nothing but swinging someone that is near death. When everyone is standing alone doing nothing, the "UHC" part of the game has ended, and this is the best solution to finish the game fairly and promptly.

Strike system
The strike system, which was introduced in the S8 patch notes, is now going into affect. The strike system works as is:

A player gets strikes for breaking offenses that individually aren't ban worthy, but are still detrimental to the game/community.

Strikes expire after a week of being issued.

If at any time you have three (number subject to change) active strikes, you will be deathbanned automatically and will not be able to play Hosted UHCs (rest of network is fine) until your oldest strike expires.

Strikes will be given out to anything that is perceived to be breaking a rule (trucing, sacrificing, teaming, etc), but not enough evidence to issue an immediate 7d ban. Here are some examples (but not limited to) of offenses that will earn you strikes:

Targeting a player in an FFA that is already fighting someone -

Saving a player who is near death by focusing the person attacking said person (Example of this and previous -

https://clips.twitch.tv/VictoriousLovelyTigerCharlieBitMe)

2v1ing a player for over a second under the guise of "cleaning up"

Sharing loot/items other then obviously community-accepted circumstances (as in final fight, for example)

Teaming/rule-breaking through 3rd party services, such as voice, stream, etc

Receiving sacrifices where it's obvious said the person walked to your hidden location

There will be other methods of receiving strikes, but the general rule of thumb is asking yourself "will this make me look like I'm teaming/trucing/rule-breaking/etc?" and if the answer is yes, you will get a strike if it's not enough for a 7d ban. Strikes are not appealable (only higher ranks can remove strikes), but if you think you are being falsely striked repeatedly you may submit a staff abuse report. WARNING: falsely submitting staff abuse reports may result in network wide punishments.

The above solutions are what we perceive as the best solution to the issue facing Badlion and the UHC community in whole. We will work on fine-tuning the rules and will be slightly lenient (issuing warnings before strikes except in blatant cases) in the next few days while people get used to the new rules.
