I made this crew for people who are honorable on this game, to bring the fight to toxic players, and stop griefing as much as we can..
I created the crew in late 2021, under the name The Delshalites with XTDX crew tags, with the aim of beginning recruitment, and beginning a major anti-griefer movement, but I never got to start it, promoting a crew like that is hard, especially when you're like me and have made enemies with a few griefers on this game, and get targeted for that, and being who I am (if you check my main site, I am open about things people unjustly hate me for). so I kept it small, only letting select people into our circle, and recruiting one or two members here and there, but I never got many people on board, and certainly very few actually running our XTDX crew tags.
in mid 2022 I started a rebrand, to rename the crew to something more specific to me and what I want, more exclusive, however still present and welcoming of the same people, with the same guidelines, something less "public" and rather more like an exclusive club, which it is, however new members who agree with, and agree to uphold our values are welcomed with open arms. in this rebrand, i renamed the crew to Nebula Stardust, with NSDC as the crew tags, standing for Nebula Stardust Crew. the primary goal of this crew is to be anti-griefers, players who counter griefers in the game whenever we can.
Nebula Stardust is open to anyone, so long as you present honor, and honor our crew.
this section is for our Codes Of Honor, which we expect every crew member to uphold, some of these will result in strikes for not following these codes, others are expectations we expect our members to uphold, but will not enforce against.
we expect all of our members to behave honorably, and kind, and to bring honor to this community.
examples of toxicity are:
using no skill/toxic weapons against on foot/vulnerable targets (not in weaponized, armored, or other combat vehicle) such as: P-996 Lazer Cannons, Hydra Cannons (note distinction of cannons, free aim missiles are acceptable), Explosive Sniper, RPGs, Tank (some cases are non toxic, context needed), things that can not be fought against - strikes for this are counted as one strike per toxic kill
using toxic strategies, such as ragdoll and kill (common example is Atomizer and shotgun) note: this only applies if done two or more times, and using mounted guns on a vehicle such as the nightshark or toreador do not count, ghost while using hard to kill vehicles (Oppressor (MK1 or MK2), Nightshark, Tanks, ETC), using thermal goggles in ways that are unintended (such as while flying jets, or in other vehicles), or spawn killing - strikes counted as one strike per attempted attack within one of said ghosted vehicles, regardless of success (one missile, hit or miss, or one attempt at running a person over are each one count), and thermal goggle usage in unintended ways is counted as 15 strikes per use case (in avenger cannon, in jet would each be one use case), and an additional 1 per attempt at attacking, and 3 per kill achieved with them being used in an unintended way, however spawn killing results in 2 strikes per kill instead of one - note: thermal goggles are able to see targets approximately 10 seconds prior to spawning, which counts as unintended, so spawn killing using thermal goggles, or using ghost with thermal in jets, or other things in this section may "stack" resulting in more strikes, along with the toxic weaponry strikes.
Grinding K/D or kills* - strikes for this are infinite (see below)
this rule may seem trivial, however it pertains primarily to tactics such as BST, Explosive Weapons, Alien Weapons (Up'N'Atomizer, Unholy Hellbringer, & Widowmaker). this essentially means don't use BST until the other person does first. parameters for this will be up to an admin's discretion regarding how many strikes will be given. typically 1 strike will be awarded for use of the Atomizer, or Unholy Hellbringer, or BST, and 2 strikes for others
all our members are expected to try to protect low levels, cargo, victims, and everyone and everything they can from anyone who is toxic, from griefers to toxic tryhards, and to keep people from griefing cargo*, grinding K/D, killing low levels or other players for no reason (this last one is only to an extent, and context is needed), and to save people from those who attempt to grind K/D*.
all members are expected to set a positive example for the community, one of respect. this game may be mature, however all too often creeps, perverts, and other people who do not belong on the internet in general flock to this game, and while the crew may be open to anyone, it is NOT open to anyone whose actions harm others, and members may be banned if their actions are a problem, however, so long as those actions are not exhibited, the person is welcome in the crew.
you may have noticed asterisks (these thingies: *) next to some actions within these Codes of Honor, well those are actions that result in an immediate ban from the crew. a permanent, nearly irreversible ban. the only way to reverse such a judgment is to prove that you have atoned for such actions, and prove that you will never do those again. now, there are some wordings to note here, "griefing cargo" refers to purposeful destruction. accidents happen, nobody is perfect, and if one of our members does accidentally destroy cargo, they will make it up to the person by aiding them or running a mission or two for them (such as a heist) to give them money, equivalent or greater to the value of the cargo, however not offering this will result in 15 strikes.
you may have also noticed some things underlined. those underlined items are things that are to be defined here:
Spawn Killing: killing prior to the target having time to react by moving around, getting a weapon, getting cover, etc. this time may vary depending upon their internet speed, however a general rule of thumb would be 2 seconds after being visible to the naked eye, and 3 seconds after being fully visible in thermal.
this section is for our internal Ranking System, publicly available for anyone to see, along with our Member Tracking google sheets, which tracks strikes, dates joined and left, rank, etc. demotion parameters will be listed, and there will be a 1-month probationary period before any acts towards re-earning the next rank will be counted. re-earning the next rank may be done by re-completing half of the goals mentioned to earn that rank to begin with (rounded up in the case of decimals).Â
our Ranks are as follows:
Recruit - these are new players in the crew, people who are just getting in and joining the fight, they are still finding their way, and getting comfortable with the codes of honor, learning, and primarily gaining knowledge while being mentored by another member - demotion to this rank will require 5 strikes, a kick from the crew will be given after 5 additional strikes
Soldier - these are people who have proven themselves in a couple occasions, but still, their edge is dull, with more experience they will sharpen into a fine weapon - they have been in the crew at least two weeks, and attempted to help someone at least 5 times - demotion to this rank will require 15 strikes
Guardian - these are the protectors of the crew, the people who have shown they're willing to be the shield between the griefers and cargo, and are the main ones who make our crew shine to most of the community - they have been in the crew at least a month and have attempted to help people at least 15 times, and guarded cargo at least twice. - demotion to this rank will require 20 strikes
Master - these are the people who have become fully fledged members, and have shown their skill in many situations, from PVP to guarding cargo to taking out toxic players, and have become a great member of the crew - they have been in the crew at least two months and have helped people at least 30 times, and have guarded cargo at least 15 times. - demotion to this rank will require 25 strikes
Grandmaster - these are long term members who are committed to the cause, and to justice, and are willing to do what's necessary to aid our crew, and bring honor to this community, even if it comes to sacrifice - they have been in the crew at least six months, have helped people at least 75 (seventy-five) times, have guarded cargo at least 30 times, and have sacrificed themselves at least once. you may ask what sacrificing yourself means, well, it means letting yourself get killed, over and over if need be to help, or wasting your time, in game money, and resources as a crew member to waste the time of griefers, so that while they are dealing with you, they are not griefing, or being a problem, or to protect others. one such way would be acting as "missile fodder" and staying near cargo so griefers lock onto you to save it and take the attack yourself. it is essentially distracting them, and going above and beyond to keep the session safe, at your own expense. these members are the golden angels of our crew, the best of the best with hearts of gold, who have truly shown that they will do everything in their power to protect. some of us in the GTA 5 community, and in our own crew may owe our lives to them. - demotion to this rank requires 30 strikes, as with all Grandmaster levels
Grandmaster 2+ - these ranks are for those who are truly, and genuinely pure, and good, and have gone not only above and beyond, but to the edge of perfection, and perhaps past it. these ranks are for people who have re-earned the Grandmaster Requirements, of helping people 75 times, guarded cargo 30 times and sacrificed themselves at least once, and have been in the crew at least one year. for every time they do this, they will earn an extra grandmaster rank. these people are the best of the best that our crew has to offer, and have been continually amazing. many of us can only dream of earning these ranks.
this section covers external interactions & contact
the following people have elected to be contacted should you have any reason to contact the crew, however the best way to contact the crew would be to join The Discord Server
Aleena Cocanee, Me, My Website has all my contact info, and can be found by clicking the link, or removing the "gta5" from before the first period in this website's URL, but Discord & Xbox are preferred.
to report a member of the crew of being dishonorable, submit a game clip, provide as much detail as possible, and give us a way to contact you so we can investigate and dole out punishment as needed. this is serious, and should your report be true, you will be rewarded either with an offer to join the crew (should we think you're a good fit) or an easy run of a heist or mission(s) of equivalent value, with a minimum of GTA$1,000,000 profit to you. this will be given sometime as soon as one of our members is available. (eligibility will be dependent on your honor)
to rejoin the crew if you have been banned or kicked, use This Form and we will get back to you.
