Players league - rules OLD VERSION - 2017

--------------------------------------------------

THESE RULES ARE NO LONGER IN EFFECT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.
