For these purposes, KGB maintains a standing army, the KGBAF, at all times. The KGBAF regularly patrols the land looking for and eliminating murders and looters. In addition, the KGBAF protects the KGB Constitution and enforces the will of the KGB High Council.

A Kill is best documented by a screen shot of the corpse. Secondary proof can come from screen shots combined with testimony from witnesses. A kill can be taken from any person KGB is currently at war with or anyone who enacts aggression against you or your comrades.
| Documentation |
Kill shots are to be documented using a screen shot program and given to your General ONLY when you are requesting a change in rank. You are to keep track of your own kill shots until such time. Screen shots can also be given to the KGB Warlord to request the Order of the KGB Award.

fall under Military rule for they are the spiritual branch of the
KGB. Our Paladin brothers report directly to the GuildMaster and
focus on one thing and one thing only, the art of War. Leaving
their ranks and titles behind, they have sworn their lives to the
art of combat. Creating a new order in the KGB, these men have
been chosen to follow the path of the Paladin. They will not be
distracted with Guild Politics. Combat is their religion, and new
techniques and fighting evil will be their focus.
Out of respect for this new order, it is forbidden to request to
join. If you are to be a Paladin, you will be approached. Only
the Paladins know when the time is right for you to become one.
One should always show respect toward these deciples of war, as
they represent combat in its purest form.
