     GAMEPLAY ABUSE

  20. We reserve the right to ban any user from the game without refund or compensation.GRIEFING within the same faction is unacceptable. IGW is meant to be a faction vs faction game – you may not like somebody, but you are not allowed to abuse the systems in place, for example:
    a) Excessively rejoining a public alliance, until an alliance block system is implemented.
    b) Joining an enemy faction alliance, writing in their alliance chat to mock them is strictly prohibited.
  21. You are allowed to join an enemy alliance to act as a spy.
    a) Creating an alt-account specifically to impersonate or mock somebody and joining other faction alliances with an alt to be an annoyance is prohibited.

     

  22. Making hate symbols out of base structures. Eg. having a swastika base will get you banned.

     

  23. Exploiting games weaknesses, bugs in IGW to gain unfair advantage is strictly against the rules
    a) You may not spread information about glitches, bugs to others directly, indirectly or through a public forum. Bugs are to be reported via email to
    reports@vavel.gs
    b) First ones to submit a bug, or a bug reproduction that we are not aware of, will be eligible for some Palladium.
    c) You will not submit misinformation or hide information within the bug reports.

  24. Multi Battle Code of Conduct
    a) You will not join multibattles with an enemy faction alt, or aid the enemy faction just to take up a slot for the defenders. If a base is attacked all faction units are expected to fight for their faction. Sitting back and not helping is considered griefing.
