Fair play protocol // authoritative text

Galactic Empires Rules

Fair play and respectful conduct are required. These are the complete rules that govern accounts, player behavior, automation, and enforcement.

Introduction

Galactic Empires must be a fair game. Many games were ruined in the past because of cheaters and administrator passivity. Rules will be taken very seriously and enforced strongly to preserve the fun and credibility of the game.

Questions or concerns? If you are in doubt about any point below or have been banned, contact the administrator at [email protected].

Complaints and inquiries regarding particular accounts will only be disclosed to their owners for privacy reasons.

Multi-Accounting

Each player is allowed to control a single account.

Penalty: If two or more accounts are being played by the same player (usually, occasionally, or permanently), they will be permanently banned.

Account Sharing

Each account is entitled to be played by a single player at a time. An account may only be shared under the following conditions:

  • Admin must be notified before sharing at [email protected] with frequency of usage and other significant details.
  • An account may only be shared for a maximum period of 2 consecutive days.

Exploit Abuse

Using a bug for anyone's profit (intentionally or not) or deliberately not reporting a bug is strictly forbidden.

Important: You must report any bug you find immediately.
Penalty: Exploit abuse will be punished with a permanent ban.

Scripting

Using a program as an interface between the player and the game is prohibited. Any other forms of automatically generated information created for a group of players' advantage with malicious intentions are forbidden.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Bots
  • Macros
  • Automated galaxy databases
Penalty: Scripting will be punished with a permanent ban.

Proxies

The use of a proxy or any method with the purpose of hiding your identity in the game interface is forbidden.

Exception: The use of a proxy to create a connection between the game and the player (in cases where it would not otherwise be possible) is allowed only after notifying [email protected].

Spam

Any situation intended to saturate a player's interface through any method is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Personal Messages spam
  • Probes spam
  • Forum spam
Penalty: Spam will be punished with a temporary or permanent ban depending on the seriousness of the offense.

Content

Anything that causes offense by being of an unacceptable quality that may hurt an individual's integrity is strictly forbidden. The standards in the game environment will be set by the game team to meet users' moral views.

Content may be censured and punished on a temporary or permanent basis. No complaints will be processed about this, and the final word will always be with the game team.

Important: Public accusation without proof is not allowed. If you believe someone is breaking the rules, contact [email protected].
