As I would like some clarification on the matter as well, I assumed the answer was published somewhere. I had to do some looking, and oddly enough the answer was near the top.

As a part of the game rules:
I should note these are dated April 28, 2009, with no editing indicators.Non-official Game Client
Players may connect to the game using the authorized, unmodified Game Client ONLY. Using any non-official, unauthorized, or third-party Game Client, program or script as an accessory or intermediary between the player and Evony game is forbidden. Any other scripts or programs, including but not limited to automatic information generating mechanisms which advantage or disadvantage any group of players for malevolent purposes is forbidden as well.
An strict interpretation of these rules, would say all alliance web sites, forums, chat programs, databases, spreadsheet programs, and even a pencil and paper, are forbidden. There are several other websites, still promoted on this forum, that might be considered volation this rule, as they do not give an advanatage to a group of players, or meant to be used for malevolent purposes, but not everyone has access to them.
Rodri: You are correct, Mr. Athasian's statement did not jive with the Terms of Service as posted at Evony.com. His statement does reinforce the game rules as they are posted on this forum. I believe the Terms of use, and the game rules carrys equal weight.
