Rules of Warfare

**~~FoxyBunny~~** · 08-09-2009, 10:06 PM

Perhaps we have no been clear enough about the rules. I am going to ask the respective army leaders to please post their agreed-upon rules for warfare here, but first I want to define "acceptable spam" for the sake of this game.

1) You may ONLY spam here in Off-Topic. ONLY. Spamming in other sections of this forum, in other forums entirely (even those not run by Evony), in-game, via Skype/MSN/AIM/Yahoo, via email, via text-messaging, prank phone calls, toilet-papering each other's homes, or anything else you can think of IS NOT ALLOWED. I do not care who is admin...I don't care who you know...if you take it outside of Off Topic and I hear about it, you will be penalized severely.

2) "SPAM" consists of the usual derailment and useless fluff we all know and love. It NEVER consists of content that is in violation of the forum rules (sexual, political, obscene language, personal insults, racial or ethnic slurs, etc.) Furthermore, a successful (and legal) spam consists of posting multiple posts in rapid succession. It does NOT consist of oversized pictures, 12 in a row in a post, that cause lag and could crash out the forum or make it unusable. Each post must be different. Posting "I like pie" over and over and over is an illegal spam and will be penalized. You may have a discussion, even if it is with yourself, ABOUT pie, however.

3) SPAM attacks are limited to one attack by any given army on any other given army once per 24 hours. Don't think "midnight" is your loophole....you must wait 24 hours between attacks. You may attack EACH army once every 24 hours, though. If 3 armies each decide to attack a fourth one, that fourth army could legally be the victim of 3 attacks in 24 hours, so choose your allies/enemies carefully.

4) Violation of my rules for attack will result in the closing of your army's thread for 24 hours (or until I can get back online thereafter) and the highly likely (depending on circumstances) suspension for 1 day of the guilty parties.

I am not kidding. Have no doubt, the mods, admin and our liasons will only tolerate this game so long as it is kept under control and within reason. If we have too many problems, I will declare the game over, delete all associated threads, and issue infractions to anyone who revives it. Have fun, but follow the rules!

Thanks, this is the answer I know joe's and my threads were trying to reach a consensus on.

how can you defend a spam attack? what if you hold a conversation during one?

**iRovster** · 08-09-2009, 11:26 PM

Yes, how do you 'defend' an attack?

**Aleksandr Kaptsov** · 08-09-2009, 11:48 PM

can this be stickied after the rules for defending have been posted?

OK, first off, where are the leaders of these armies to work out the rules? How many pages is a successful attack? In the absence of a firm decision by leadership, I will simply use random judgment based on my mood at the time.

And second, a successful counter to a spam attack is to keep the thread on-topic as much as possible. I will give a 1 post defensive advantage to the owners of the thread. Therefore, in a 10-post page, if the attackers get in 5 posts of spam, but the defenders get in 5 posts of on-topic material, the defenders will win that page.
