General rules
Rule 1 — Respect on the messageboards
Don’t use offensive language to people you don’t know. We support freedom of
speech but keep in mind that this site is our private domain. You are allowed to speak
your thoughts, but please keep your posts decent. Flaming and hate posts on the
messageboards will result in an official warning by the Game Coordinators.
If someone does not follow these rules and ignores the official warning, then we will
have to take measures — varying from deleting turns to banning accounts. In other
words, don’t abuse your rights; respect them.
Rule 2 — One account per player
Using multiple countries or having multiple game accounts is strictly forbidden. Only
use one game account in total. With one game account you are able to create a country
in every server, which brings us to the next rule: only play one country per server.
If we catch people breaking these simple rules, this might result in the suspending or
banning of all countries and accounts involved. If you have been suspended and feel you
are not guilty, email the Game Coordinators why you might have been suspended.
Please keep in mind that we are human too. If you are asked to give an explanation,
just be honest and tell us the entire story. After hearing your side, we will judge
whether the explanation is convincing.
Rule 3 — No bots
Don’t use bots to play. You are free to use any pre-calculation tools, but don’t
use bots to scan the market prices or anything similar. Play yourself — that’s
nothing but fair to your opponents.
Rule 4 — Don’t ruin the gameplay for others
Ruining the gameplay for others might result in the suspending or even banning of your
account. Things that are not allowed:
- Suiciding — killing someone, often at random, by doing many attacks in a short time, without any war going on. Usually the suicider just gives up his chances on a good ranking.
- Cross-server attacking — attacking a player in Game Server B for having a fight with him in Game Server A.
Be aware that politics play an important role in team and group servers. This will lead
to alliances, but also to wars.
General note
If you feel that a player breaks one of these rules, let us know. This game should be
played to have fun and to compete with other internet users on a friendly level.
Cheating, cursing and similar conduct will be dealt with firmly. We will check every
serious accusation, and if you are able to prove to us that someone is breaking any of
these rules, then we will check their account and take steps against them if necessary.

have more than 15,000 points.

Server-specific rule
This server is an individual server — it is strictly forbidden to gang up against
other players. So no organized attacks and no kill runs. There are no teams
and you are expected to play like an individual. On this server you are supposed to find
a way to meet the winning criteria as soon as possible. You are encouraged to take out
your opponents with normal attacks, special attacks, seals and missiles. If you are
caught making a deal with someone about exchanging special attacks to both gain score,
this will result in deletion of both accounts. Of course you are
allowed to attack someone as much as possible — just don’t make any alliances.
Play on your own and fight like a maniac.
