So, I've been finding of late that the vast majority of my deletions are a result of safe-list issues. I don't particularly like having to delete countries, and so decided I'd write a post reminding everyone about safe-list rules in the hopes of preventing a number of deletions.
Being safe listed is our way of trying to let multiple players who live with one another continue to enjoy this game. However, when players are playing from the same internet connection or computer, it becomes extremely difficult for us to verify that they are not, indeed, a single player.
In order to cope with this, we've implemented a number of rules exclusive to safe-listed countries interactions with each other. These rules are as follows:
1. No FA. If you send FA to one another -- you will get deleted.
2. No pacts. If you have pacts with one another -- you will get deleted.
3. No market aid. If you sell goods to one another through the market outside of normal prices, or sell an excessive number of goods through the market to one another -- you will get deleted.
4. No joint attacks. If you jointly attack (landgrab or otherwise) a country -- you will get deleted.*
5. No assisted spy ops. If you attack a country based upon an op made by the other player in your household -- you will get deleted.*
6. No attacking one another. if you launch attacks against one another -- you will get deleted.**
7. No ops against one another. If you launch spy ops against one another -- you will get deleted.
*If you're playing in the same alliance (or alliances on the same side) in a KR in which several other players are participating, I will attempt to take circumstances into account. However, I reserve the right to enforce these rules strictly at my sole discretion.
**If you're playing in opposing alliances during a war, and the attacks are part of kill runs in which multiple other players are participating, I will attempt to take circumstances into account. However, I reserve the right to enforce these rules strictly at my sole discretion.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. If I see any evidence of safe listed players cooperating with one another, or evidence that safe listed players are actually a single player, I will take action. The safe list is not a writ to do as you please, or to be free of scrutiny. Those on the safe list will actually bear additional scrutiny.
This is to ensure that the game is fair for all players.
If anyone currently on the safe list is in violation of any of the above rules, please note that I giving you 24 hours to come into full compliance with them. At that time, I will be making deletions. I would encourage alliance leaders to repost this message on their web sites in order to reach as many players as possible.
