Advice*

TCO = Winning

nuff said

your breaking the rules of NOT playing and not giving us any satisfaction of your company, therefor earning a block.

I get your point tho TCO, the mods can interpret any rule as they wish and if they are in a shitty mod or "tired". they can start making things up to have someone blocked. The mods have way too much power and the rules should be more clear. If I had been blocked our entire round would have been virtually ruined, since I have over 4,5 bill science points in con and military.

To advise (verb) or advice (noun)

As it is a noun here, it's advice.

I wish to stress that this post was made to clarify the current rule, not to discuss blocks, actual or possible.

Geez what are you guys the spelling police?

I have noticed that some confusion exists about the current rule. Many seem to think that the rule mentioned above is derived from the post somewhere deep down on the announcement forum, that sadly enough is not in the actual rules, nor in the guide, nor on any other easily accessible location. (I would like to adviSe everyone who hasnt done so to read every post on every page of the announcement forum so as not to miss any rules that have allready been posted.)
The rule i am referring to is : "Abusing ingame functions denying other players the possibility of gameplay is a serious offense and will result in an official warning and subsequent block of the offending empire." It is obvious that the new rule as mentioned by FD has nothing to do with this, as going from that one to "'Anyone who performs an action that ruins the fun of their family will be blocked" would be an interpretation of a possible explanation of the spirit of the first rule. That would be stretching it a little thin, even for a mod. What we have here is a good example of another rule which IS actually in the basic rules of this game :

>In addition, using ways of abusing the game or site not directly covered by the rules may also be reason enough for deletion of accounts.

>These rules are subject to change.

For those who are a little unclear on this, let me put it in other words : "The mods can always block your arse for any perceived offense, real or otherwise. They may also always make up rules to explain themselves as they go."

The new rule, which surfaced for the first time today, clearly falls within the scope of this rule, and so the mods are absolutely within their authority, according to this rule, to act upon it.

Hope this further clarifies this matter for everyone

TCO we dont want your adviXe

let me say something fun so I dont get blocked:

"what's the difference between TCO and TBO?? --> 1 character"

I've been top 20 all round as a banker. Gave every person in my fam aid. Every person i tried to help bor went inactive, everyone. Im playing with 3 players now and its fine.

you guys playing need to shape up. going from attacker to banker was the best move i've made. some people take this game way to seriously get a life.
