The Raccoon City Defense Force, or RCDF, is a pro-survivor group based in Roywood.

How to join

People interested in becoming a member of the RCDF must agree to the following basic rules:

• To aid, assist and advise fellow clan members and survivors to the best of their abilities.
• To never attack another survivor except in self-defense or the defense of another.*
• To abide by all RCDF Policies.

If you can follow these basic rules then it's pretty simple to join up. Register at http://rcdf.freeforums.org/ and we will get back to you through email.

RCDF Policies

All members are held to the following core policies. Additional policies and SOPs are documented on the forum and will be reviewed with new members during OTJ training, but the following policies are the most important.

Player Conduct

We seek to hold members of RCDF to a high standard of conduct. Members should always be civil during any discourse or disagreement, regardless of the behavior of anyone else involved. They are expected to play hard, but play fair, and to encourage others to do so.

PKing

The RCDF Leadership considers it very dishonourable to PK! If you are killed by another survivor without provocation within Roywood, or witness such activity, please take a screenshot, record their profile ID and file a report. As a deterrent against PKing, those individuals found to have killed someone without provocation will have a bounty placed on their head. You can view Roywoods currently most wanted on the [1]. See the PK Reporting page for additional information. In these difficult times, survivors must stick together if we are to get through this, and that means helping each other, not shooting at each other!

Spying

Under no circumstances is any member of RCDF to participate in overt spying. Disallowed spying includes: joining a forum and posing as something you aren't in order to gain information that isn't publicly available, joining a group under false pretenses in-game to gather information on new and ongoing operations, or joining any other channel of communication (IRC, IM, Email) to obtain information that wouldn't be available through normal channels. 'Spying' on the enemy by looking at their wiki page or information posted publicly on their forums is acceptable as the enemy is fully aware that this information can reach any and all people. In short, the RCDF will not participate in misrepresentation and subterfuge. Our reputation precedes us and we have shown that we are a group to look up to. We are neither shunned nor maligned by most survivors and that is because we do not participate in under-handed activities. Anyone caught participating in the aforementioned disallowed spying will be stripped of any rank they may hold within the RCDF and dismissed from duty.

Zerging

Members of RCDF are not to participate in zerging at all. In addition to that prohibition the following rules apply:

1. Each player can have at most One character in RCDF.
2. No player may have two alts within the same suburb. For example, you may not have one character in Roywood then another character in Roywood in the next building over.

Anyone caught participating in the aforementioned disallowed zerging activities will be given a single warning. Repeated offenses will cause all the players characters to be stripped of any rank they may hold within the RCDF and potentially dismissed from duty.

Supported Policies

The RCDF groups also support a number of policies, which they encourage for general adoption.

Uniform Barricading Policy

We Support the Uniform Barricading Policy but at the same time changes may need to be made at a moments notice for the good of the suburb. The Uniform Barricade Policy (UBP) is designed to provide as secure a barricade plan as possible that still leaves resource buildings and sufficient safe shelters accessible for less experienced survivors. It is also designed to provide a wide range of entryways for those with Free Running, so the population can spread throughout the suburb, reducing tempting targets crowded with survivors if located by zombie spies. The Free Running skill is strongly recommended as a very early skill choice for survivors.

	Uniform Barricading Policy Supporter
	This User or Group supports the Uniform Barricading Policy by actively maintaining barricades according to local plan or UBP standard.
