     Those who choose to enter an illegal area are acknowledging and accepting the inherent risk.  Medics shall evaluate the situation and use discretion while operating within illegal areas. Medics who are accidentally killed, or RDM'd, in the line of duty may return to the area immediately.  Medics who are legally killed are bound by NLR and must wait a minimum of 15 minutes before returning to the location to continue answering calls or to retrieve equipment.

If you are in the area of a conquest event when it starts, leave the area IMMEDIATELY. Kill-On-Sight and Titan-On-Sight at Conquest Events. Participation is at your own risk and not mandatory.
