Server Rules vs. Strategy vs. Ethical game play

Doing my homework before posting and found this from several months ago:

You can attack any flag at any time unless it is the MAIN base, if so, then you have to wait till flag

First, Main's have the dome-of-death which prevents infantry (and most armor but not mortars, HAT's, etc.) from capping. So, why is this even an issue for folks? I don't get it...

But, playing Muttrah as USMC we were getting our sh*t pushed in back to N. Burbs (neutralized) with Docks next. So, I had an APC give my squad a ride to the road on backside of Fortress. The idea being to search and destroy enemy FOB's, wreck their ability to rapidly reinforce and maybe turn the tide with a counter-assault. To do this, my squad had to run past (but not threaten) the fortress even though we were getting shot at from the fortress in the process. (e.g. no attack flag on fortress so no shooting, right?) Muttrah has special rules for Fortress...but is running past it in the circumstance described above a violation? I don't care really...just need to take that play out of my book if yes.

Another rule: NO CHAT SPAMMING

So, playing Beirut as Russian the other night and our team had capped and neutralized to the Western bridge. While attempting to flank south my squad got trapped by an angry enemy tank. What's a poor squaddie to do? Well, what I did was type in all chat, "Hey Tank! get back to the flag and defend...we're about to lose it!" The idea being that just maybe the crew in the enemy tank would mistake the ALL CHAT for TEAM CHAT and boogie. Which he did...which saved my squad. They were unanimously impressed and relieved.

(Ethical Q:)

So, technically speaking, did I violate server rules? Yeah, probably...but not the rules of war. Because if I violated the rules of war then every militarized intelligence agency in the world needs to disband. Did I violate any =HOG= code of ethics? If yes, let me know 'cause I just got my shiny new little "p" and I don't want to get off in the ditch this early.

Good post. No you did not.

On Muttrah, did you run on the road by the coast past fortress?

Both sides...had either the LAT or AR (maybe both, don't recall) cover the road side until the rest of the squad got into buildings/cover. Their (LAT/AR) orders were to move up once that happened...in case we got jumped by whatever might be coming up or down the coast road. Would've preferred to take the AAV or RHIB in from ship to someplace closer to mosque but that route was being covered by MEC in Fortress. Bottom line, desperate times...desperate measures and a shortage of attractive tactical options.

What do you mean by both sides? You ran on both sides of the coastal road, or you ran on both roads that leads past fortress.

North of Fortress (coastal road) and South (where trailers and AA set up) if i have my orientation correct?
Half the squad went North...half South in an attempt to go around Fortress and get into city..we didn't make it. Got gunned down from Fortress as I recall.
