--------------------------------------------------
THESE RULES ARE NO LONGER IN EFFECT
--------------------------------------------------
These are the Player's League rules for the 1st season of 2017 :
1) It is not allowed to leave a coalition, or kick people from a coalition. If this happens by accident, the original situation must be restored within 24 hours. Failing to do so will result in recieving ZERO points for the round of the leaving or kicking player; or, if the guilty party cannot be determined by the moderator, to BOTH players.
1a) Only exception to rule (1) is when a player has created a coalition, but noone else ever joined. In this case, he can disband this coalition and join a different one.
2) A coalition can have a maximum of three members.
3) At the end of the round, all players in a coalition earn an amount of points equal to (total amount of VP's for all coalition members PLUS coalition's achievement points) divided by (amount of players in the coalition), fractions are lost. Please note that inactive or destroyed players STILL count as "amount of players", they are both used in the division AND score points themselves.
4) Players that are not part of a coalition, or in a one-person coalition, simply score their own VP score + 10%.
5) Having a Right-of-way or Share-map with a player outside a coalition is forbidden. PLEASE NOTE: this also includes NPC's and inactives.
5a) Only exception to rule (5) are the former coalition members of an inactive player; they are still allowed to have RoW with the inactive player. Even though the inactive player is kicked from the coalition by game mechanics, he is still considered part of it for PL rule purposes.
6) As opposed to previous PL rounds, building of rockets and even nukes IS allowed;
7) GOLD USE IS FORBIDDEN!! Given our problems enforcing this rule, we will set EXTREMELY harsh rules for breaking them... If you are caught using gold, you will be banned from the PL for the remainder of the season, unless you confess in a PM to the moderator within 1 hour of doing it, and are willing to accept, and cooperate in executing, a penalty which will be severe enough to make sure you never do it again (like... healing one unit will cost you three).
NAP's and other diplomatic agreements (other than those in the rules above) are not a part of the official rules, and will not be enforced by the moderators.
9) Be respectful: Morale rule based on staff ethics, Bytro ethics, and normal social ethics.
10) Tech stacking (using the same unit type of different levels in the same stack) is NOT allowed. You can swap units with other players even if your tech levels differ, but you are NOT allowed to merge them into the same stack. Punishemnt will be that the whole stack is lost. Please note that this rule also includes "accidental" merges (units moving into the same province, for example); if you want to operate different tech levels, YOU are responsible for making sure that they don't merge.

Not if the limit is 4. Adding another member would make it 5.Danny Laoghaire wrote:
Say a coalition had 4 members, but one of those members is completely wiped out, leaving the coalition with 3. Is this coalition now eligible to recruit a new 4th member?
Come on man, you know what I meant. If one member is wiped out, once all of his provinces are gone he is automatically erased from the coalition (IIRC? Maybe I am remembering this wrong, pls correct me if so), so that would bring the coalition down to 3 members. The rules do not completely clarify what happens in this scenario.DxC wrote:

Yes, Yes, I know. But that is written in the context of point scoring rules; is talking about how points are divided up & deducted based on member count. I'd like to know if the same rule applies to member limits.
Danny, yes. Dead player definitely counts toward coalition limit. Sorry if computer messages made my response sound anything but trying to help.
Yeah it did come across that way, but it's no problem, just the limits of text communication 
Thanks for the clarification, much obliged.
For PL purposes, coalition members are permanent in all respects, no matter if they are alive, dead, inactive, AWOL, moved to Nepal, or changed into a frog.

Starting to think it is time for the June sign up thread.
is it because you are on the way out of May round?))
I do have to admit Mihail; you have managed to tag along nicely with the real powerhouses of DxC and Mark. Good job of hitching your wagon to some strong players.
check the last month's results buddy )))
Just sticking a pin in that ego of yours. 
And yes, I am asking about the June PL game because May is not looking like I will get to 30 days. Always a first time, I guess.
get used to it now
Sadly, June may be my last chance for a PL for while. Past that my schedule does not have me able to be on the 'net for a continuous calendar month until at the soonest next year. Certainly not to the level of intensity required for a PL game. Oh well, gotta pay the mortgage.
btw any reward for the pl winners this season?
Eternal fame and honor, Mark.
gd enough
Just mention it at the club, Mark. All the girls will be begging to go home with you.
but since it is backed by Bytro, there should be some kind of reward for the winners, the old seasons used to have rewards.
