	TW Game Rules (customized) Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

The following are a copy of the rules used for the Game league. I've modified them. For this and all follow up games we play. Modifications to it can obviously be made. Does everyone agree to these?

=============
Apolyton's Rules for Trade Wars

The Following are rules that all Apolyton Trade War players are expected to adhere to. Punishment for violation of these rules will be determined by the Sysop/Game Admin and become effective. You have the right to dispute the Sysop/Game Admin's decision and present any evidence that you have concerning the matter. A final decision will follow from the Game Admin/Sysop. Additionally, matters of dispute may be resolved by taking a vote from the active players. The players will have the right to vote anonymously one way or another. Any player that doesn't vote will be ignored.

1) No dupes (DL - Dual Login) of any kind. Player's IPs will be logged by the Server, and if you have a dynamic IP your IP address won't range that far off. Any evidence of duping will be punished after an investigation. If you have more than one person playing the game using the same IP (If you live in the same home or in close vicinity of each other) you can contact the appropriate admin (MarkG?) concerning that issue.

2) Bug use of Any kind is strictly prohibited in the game. If you are found using a bug your account will be terminated immediately from the game.

3) Spamming players on Fed Comm with the intention of harassing other players or slowing the server down, or in any way taking away the 'fun' of playing turns from the other players will not be allowed.

4) You are to log on only to the one account you have created. You may not log on as anyone other than your character. Violation of this will result in deletion of both accounts in question.

5)Harassment of any kind regarding race, sex, or religion will not be tolerated. Cussing is allowed, but if a formal complaint is lodged by a player, then that player's wishes must be respected and no more cussing around that player will be tolerated for the rest of the game. In the event of a dispute as to what constitutes harassment, a vote can be taken among Apolyton players. Majority vote will decide whether something is appropriate or not.

6) Naming ships or planets anything deregatory along the lines of rule 5 will result in a warning and the Game Admin/Sysop may see it fit to change the name. A second offense will result in a stronger form of punishment which is left to the Sysop/Game Admin's discretion.

7) This game is setup for the purpose of having fun, so please respect that and enjoy the game. In general if don't do anything that would make the game any less enjoyable to the other players.

14. "GrandFather clause" - This is not a complete list of rules. The list will remain open until we see something in a game tat needs to be addressed. You will be informed of any changed by a public announcement in the game.

	Tired of ads?

What's a bug? Nevermind, you meant the use of software flaws and glitches.

Anyway, I support a "No Backstab" clause. At least that would reduce the impact of dupe uses since there are no real way of detecting dupes.

I'll quickly add that all the rules above apply to my server as well, and unlike Dan I have the time to enforce rules like no dupes.
