basicly i'm free every evening except thursday, but you know how it is...
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:
1. THE FUNCTION OF THE GMs (by Martmol)
The GMs are your servants. They will administer the game according to the rules. The GMs are bound by the rules just as any normal participant is but also have some special duties.
The GMs duties are
- to administrate the game and ensure the smooth running of the game when started
- to interpret the rules in case of need
- to execute the disciplinary power in the game
Note: the GMs will participate in the game just as any other player. They have no duty to put special attention to the game log. If you need the GM to act but fail to get his attention by simple measures, then instead pause the game and e.g. make a message with ducats or stars (****) or whatever, something that triggers the attention of one of the GMs.
2. When unpredicted situations occur during the game the GM may, after consulting the players, issue additional ad hoc rules to deal with the situation. A good example is if a human nation is AIed, the GM may then state whether this nation is on-limits or off-limits. The GM may however never punish a nation for actions already taken that break this new rule.
further rules
a. There's a stab hit rule to prevent eternal wars:
* If you have been at war for 3 years or more with another nation
* and that nations sends you a stabhitting peaceoffer
* and you are at stab -3
* and the peace offer is based upon a warscore of -99 for you, then you must accept the stab hit peace offer.
Note: it is recommended that you pause the game and inform your opponent that you are about to force him to a peace this way, then he can check the current WS.
4. If you get vassalised by a human player you must stay that way for 10 years, unless the overlord chooses to break it. After 10 years the vassal can break vassalage, the overlord can then choose to attack them after that again or let them go.
As a vassal :
* You cannot enter any other alliance than that of your overlord.
* You must accept a proposal of TA/MA from your overlord.
* You are not allowed to start any wars without permission of your overlord
* You cannot give MA to any power without your Overlord's consent.
* You are *not* required to dow someone at the command of your overlord, send him cash at his command or generally help your overlord if *he* is the aggressor in a war.
5. Using certain exploits is forbidden. See below for more details.
* Attacking an enemy fleet with pirates, as well as comparatively very
small fleets, only made to inhibit loading/landing.
* Releasing one or more vassals during wartime, to hinder an enemy.
* Force-burning of manufactories, i.e. repeated move and halt orders to an
army in a province with a manufactory.
* Using lag to your advantage. This includes (but is not limited to):
Sending lag colonists, building lag fortresses, sending lag missionaries,
using lag diplomats. (The exception is using lag diplomats to send cash).
* Declaring a 'fake' war on a country, with the aim to:
o Increase the stability of the nation you declare war on.
o Change the religion of a protestant or Counter-Reformed-Catholic
nation back to Catholicism before the Edict of Tolerance.
* Exploiting Simultanity: Using the game engine to break a deal, that would
occur simultaneously in the real word. This includes (but is not limited
to) the 'sale' of something in game.
* Converting from Catholiscism to either Counter-reformed-Catholicism or
Protestantism and then switching back to Catholiscism before the Edict
of Tolerance.
* Trading maps with the AI.
* Sending loans to the AI.
* Signing a peace deal with the AI, that bankrupts it in the same day.
* Ceding TPs to reduce Bad Boy.
6. A war is fought together if the two (human) nations are fighting the same war in-game. Then the leader of the alliance can sign a full-alliance peace.
7. Two (or more) nations fighting the same enemy in several different wars, are NOT fighting together. This means that even if the two (or more) nations consider themselves allies, their enemy might peace one of them, in order to deal with the other one easier. The enemy is in no way obligated to sign both (or all) the nations, despite them having discussed a peace involving both (as the two (or more) consider themselves allies).
8. no exploration with 100 or 100+ ships. Within known seazones avoiding attrition with 100+ ships is allright
9. when pausing the game, communicate with all other players
10. * Breaking a truce, except when the truce is a result of a province swap
deal in game. You are not allowed to dow AI alliance members or vassals of
someone you have a truce with.
11. any peace agreements that are concluded between two parties, are valid until 10 years after the peace was signed, unless specified otherwise by the acting parties
