	PTW Intersite Democracy Game Pledge Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

The following is the pledge that I have taken, on behalf of the team, with respect to our intent to play the game fairly. Please take a second to read it. If you have any questions, please post and I or one of the other team members will try and answer it. vondrack - this should go somewhere permanently - but for now, I thought a separate thread was important. Thank-you.



PTW Intersite Democracy Game Pledge


As the leader and representative of my team, I give you, the other leaders and team members in the game, the following promise:

I, and my team, hereby promise that we will fully abide by the rules and the spirit of the rules in this multi-team democracy game.

We will not play ahead or abuse the game save in any manner. We will not use the game save in any way to view another team's position.

We will not attempt to enter or view any private forums. We will not fabricate e-mails or other forms of messaging or falsify our identities in any fashion.

We agree not to communicate with another team in any meaningful way regarding the game until that team is actually contacted in the game. Minimaps, or other similar re-creations providing a teams location in the world, will not be traded until maps can actually be traded in the game.

We will not engage in any double identity or double log-in activity, nor will we condone it. If we become of aware of such activity, it will be made public to all teams immediately. Any members engaging in such activity will be banned from ALL teams involved in the game. Any information revealed by a double identity player will be made known to the other team involved, and the neutral administrator, and appropriate compensation, as either agreed by the teams, or if agreement is not possible, as determined by the neutral administrator, will be provided.

I agree to create and maintain a current members list in a public area of my home forum.

We will do our best to quickly complete our turns and make the save available for the next team prior to the deadline. This deadline is 24 hours per team per turn. The 24 hour rule notwithstanding, we acknowledge that a time counter will be used to time play, and all reasonable efforts will be made to play the turn within the constraints of the time counter, which provides 4 hours per turn per team, in aggregate fashion. Each team will start with a 'bank' of 100 hours.

In the case of game process issues and disputes, we agree to acknowledge and abide by the ruling of the neutral adminstrator. The neutral administrator for this game will be mongoose of 1BigCommunity or his designate, who will not be, and will not have been, a member of a team in the game.

Furthermore, we will expell anyone from our team who willingly breaks these rules.


We wish you all the best of luck and good civin'!

*bump*

Thought I should bump this thread to page one for a couple of days. There have been a number of new members authorized lately - and you should be aware of the 'rules', and the spirit and intent of the intersite demo game. Thanks for reading it.

vondrack - do you want to move this into one of the other threads. Not sure we need this 'topped' as such. It owuld take up valuable space on the first page. On the other hand - it should not be too far away that we forget about it.

Time to bump this up. We have had a number of new members join over the last while, and all team members should be aware of the game rules, and the intent and spirit of the demo game.

One thing I want to highlight is the clause stating that 'we will not play ahead'.

Let me be clear. No one on this team, or any team, should be playing the save ahead of the assigned member playing the official turn for our team. In our case, one of the consuls, a minister, or a designate.

If perchance, you are reviewing the save and 'accidentally' (and given what I have just stated, it would have to be accidental) revealed something that would not be known without simply looking at the save (a move or an attack for example), then you are required to keep that information to yourself, and not share it with anyone on the team, until the information becomes known to the team via a legitimate move. You should also not participate in any turn chats or discussion threads regarding moves or strategies until that time either.

I trust this is clear. Thank you.

Bumped for tkmjcw.

Can one of the consuls possibly pull the pledge, and the key points from my previous post on accidentally playing ahead, into the appropriate topped thread. Thanks.

vondrack- I see the link in the info centre thread.

Your call as to whether we pull the entire pledge in, along with the accidentally-playing-ahead rules.
