Hey, wannabe, when you gonna change your handle?
Please take my advice. It will apply to more than just this question.
Do whatever the mid says is allowed. If he gives you the real rules those are the rules. Don't assume that whatever some PAO officer told you is the truth. Whatever the mid is telling you probably came from the mouth of his CO, CC, SEL or squad leader. They know what will or will not get them in to trouble: respect what they say. Also, no matter what the mid says just don't be late.
