PREV UP NEXT Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (May 4 1999)

1.3.9: Cheating

  1. A player may not have more than one faction in the game. Also, multiple players from the same account are not allowed. Each player must have their own unique email address.
  2. Players should not send in orders for another player's faction, to ruin that person's turn or otherwise benefit.
  3. Players must inform the GM of any game bugs found.
  4. Anti-social behavior, including harassing telephone calls, sending obscene/obnoxious unwanted communications, mail bombing, etc. will not be tolerated.
  5. It is not cheating to form alliances or cooperate with players of another nation. It's even acceptable to occasionally act against the interests of your nation, particularly if that serves some specific goal. For example, if you're trying to become a great merchant, and the enemy offers you a bunch of gold to reveal the location of one of your nation's large armies, you might accept. But joining one nation with the sole purpose of helping another nation win by being a "mole" in the midst of the other nation is not permitted. If you want the Imperial Empire to win, join the Imperial Empire.

    If you do choose to betray your nation, do not complain when they turn upon you and rend your faction. You still cannot re-join a different nation.

Punishment for serious violations is generally banishment from Olympia. So don't cheat, do play fair, and be a good sport.

All decisions of the GM are final.
