XGC NEW HONOR CODE
XGC members will display a professional gaming demeanor at all times. Any match a XGC member participates in should observe the rules of Fair Play, Sportsmanship and Respect. As a XGC member, you not only represent yourself but XGC as a whole. All XGC members MUST be at least 18 years of age. XGC is a mature gaming community. If a gamer is under the age of 18, they will be recruited into KoG or SYN. XGC is an 18 and up community, NO EXCEPTIONS! Those “grandfathered” in will be allowed to remain. Any member who lies or any leader that allows this exception will be dealt with accordingly.
All XGC members must register on the website within one week of their recruitment to remain in XGC. As a registered member, you will have access to the Forums and the Gaming Ladder (www.CLANCOMPETE.com) along with many other great sites. New members must read and accept the Honor Code and Rank Structure.
All XGC members are encouraged to share any issues or ideas through the chain of command and with The Council of Leaders ANYTIME! The leaders of XILED GAMING believe in the open door policy and encourage members to use it.
New members will not be allowed to change their gamer tag until reaching the rank of Sergeant and receiving approval from a Section Leader or higher.
XGC members CANNOT be apart of any other gaming communities/clans! Any and all gamer tags must be either in XGC clans or in none at all. XGC does NOT have ANY alliances with other gaming communities/clans! XGC members will remain friendly and professional with ALL gaming communities at all times! ZERO TOLERANCE! If a XGC member leaves, they are NOT allowed back. In the event of a member wanting to come back, each situation will be looked at by the COUNCIL/Division Leaders on a case-by-case basis.
Violation of the Honor Code will earn the Gamer a warning; two warnings and you will be banned from the community. Members caught t-bagging, purposely cheating and/or participating in manipulated online play will be immediately banned. No exceptions!
Honor Code violations consist of trash talking, t-bagging, discrimination, racism, sexism, harassment, illegal drugs, cheating, poaching, squad deranking, or any other aggressive behavior toward fellow online gamers. Cheating is defined as any manipulation of online play; this includes, but is not limited to modding, bridging, stand-bying, forcing host, action replay, glitching / super jumping in match making / ranked games to gain an unfair advantage, playing online custom / ranked games with Modders, and circle boosting.
BOTTOM LINE!!! Have fun, play games, and network with other gamers that share the same interest. At the end of the day, it is after all just a game!

Featured XGC IMPACT Member of the Month ( February 2007)
Player name; BRAXTON BRAGG
Braxton is awesome!
Well I guess I better write more, but what I wrote above should say it all! Braxton lives in the Bay Area in California. I’ve known him for awhile now and have come to respect him very much. I feel Braxton is a natural born leader. One of his many qualities is his ability to take in information/situations and think, and then come up with a solution that is best to resolve the issue. You can find him online most of the time, except when Rachel Ray is on (Food Channel). So if you don’t know him, send him an invite……. 1.
