Award Nominations for Spring '24 are Live!

As Summer begins our Spring '24 season draws to a close and both Sixes and Highlander Award Nominations are now open. Threads for team captains to submit their roster's Award Nominations are linked below. If you need any assistance in this process please reach out to your Division Administrators for help. Award Nominations will close on Sunday the 8th of December at 11:59pm AEDT 2024.

If this is your first time submitting Award Nominations there are some guidelines and information below to keep in mind:

• Only one of the captains on your roster needs to submit your team's nominations. We expect most teams usually discuss who they want to nominate for what award. Please note, you can only nominate your teammates for an award, voting will come after all nominations are submitted.
• Failure to submit both nominations and votes for your team this season will result in players not being eligible for in-game medals.

Account Transfers

Over the last couple of years, ozfortress has sparingly transferred or changed the Steam account connected to an ozfortress account in various instances. This process is entirely manual and is also not an established procedure within our ruleset. This was originally our intention, to keep the process undocumented, and apply it rarely as it is an entirely manual and tedious process. However, this has caused understandable confusion - confusion we could have avoided easily by documenting the process.

Full unban: submarine/hands

If you aren't entirely sure what we're on about, raving like boomers, well we have egg on our faces. We recently issued an Alternate Account ban to submarine/hands, of which we had solid evidence, but later found during their appeal that they had contacted a past administrator who simply forgot to bring their request for an account transfer forward to the rest of our team. At the end of the day, it happens, this time it just happened to happen when everyone would have least wanted it to happen. As such, this player has been unbanned.

The original ban post has also now been edited to reflect this.

3.3.1. Account Transfers

What was made clear is the purposeful obfuscation of the process is detrimental, so we've added a public account transfer process (and even a rule to the Global Ruleset: 3.3.1. Account Transfers) to prevent any future confusion. For now, there are no listed conditions that need to be met or any other stipulations - but this will change post-season. Traditionally, account transfers have been reserved for cases of players losing access to their main Steam account (the one connected to their ozfortress.com account), and we don't expect this to change, but we're open to feedback like always. To be clear, the use of Alternate Accounts, or sharing of another user account (Account Sharing) is strictly prohibited and always will be.

Evidence Ban

jyydn STEAM_0:1:89233758

We have proof beyond a reasonable level of doubt that the above player has been using game-altering third-party programs. Cheating provides an unfair advantage and has no place within ozfortress. As such, this player has been banned from ozfortress.com, the community's competitions, and all other ozfortress properties for a period of 2 years, after which time they will be on permanent probation. If they are found aliasing during their competition bans, their ban duration will be extended.

Should any individuals or groups within ozfortress be found housing the listed player/s in our competitions, or aiding in ban evasion, those responsible will face severe penalties and hefty league bans.
