Know the Rules

The rules outlined here apply to any CoN campaign. By playing Conflict of Nations: Modern War, you agree to adhere to these terms.

Abusive Language

Abusive, vulgar, racist, ethnically dubious, or otherwise harmful posts will not be tolerated throughout any aspect of the game.

Diplomacy and CoN NEWS (CON)

The denunciation of Gold, Security Council Memberships, and other Premium Accounts is not permitted and leads to an immediate one-time warning in any game. It should be understood that the use of Gold is an explicit part of the game, and is NOT a form of cheating.

CON News and Chat

The naming or denunciation of users /players which (allegedly) exploit bugs or other inconsistencies is not permitted, as this can lead to (often unjustified) accusations. Likewise, publishing player blacklists or links to such lists is prohibited. This could lead to the rule breaker been REMOVED from the ROUND.

Multi Accounts

The use of more than one account is strictly prohibited. As stated clearly in CoN's Terms of Service:
"4.3 Each Participant may register for and use one Account only. Registering for and using multiple accounts is strictly prohibited (so-called “multi-accounts”). Breach of this clause may lead to the immediate exclusion of the Participant from the game."

If you are found to be using more than one account you will be removed from a round and could lose all accounts.

WolfPacking

It is not allowed to overstep the position of Game Admin to get new allies into the game during an ongoing conflict with other active players. It is also forbidden to join a game just to gain excessive advantage or to damage another player. Currently, the Wolfpacking rule means the following:

It is not allowed for players to invite friends to help them out (if slots are still available)

It is not allowed to join games just to help someone out.

Players that violate this rule will be removed from the respective games.

Game Creation/Ending

In Game Creation, the Game Title must adhere to the rule regarding abusive language in, both, title and description. If needed, a game creator can be removed from the round and all description settings changed. To End a Game there are 4 possible ways:

Victory Points (VP) total for victory are reached.

Retire Option is selected by remaining active players in a round (becomes available when 3 or fewer players remain active)

Where ALL active players in a map post in the CONN that they agree for a round to be ended (must NOT be done Anonymously).

Alliance Match Both Alliance leaders post in World Herald that they agree to have a round/game ended.

Foreign Language (Non English)

The use of foreign languages in the World Herald, Diplomacy, Game Title and Description including Conflict of Nation: Modern War Alliances IS ALLOWED unless it breaks our rules and Terms of Service, then it is a rulebreak and will be treated as such!

Replacing Players

Within a Round:

The support team is NOT obliged to remove or replace players from a round if a player goes inactive. Within an Alliance Round, there are three options available:

The player to be replaced will need to be inactive or make a ticket saying he agrees to be replaced.

Both Alliance leaders agree to remove player from game if he has been inactive to replace with another active user.

Privacy

Publishing private correspondence between members of CoN support teams and users is strictly forbidden! This also applies to private communication between users. If you want to make a private message accessible to the public, the consent of both participants is required.

The Role of the Game Operators

Players are absolutely required to follow instructions from Game Operators!

Game Operators have the right to penalize rule breaks. This can result in the removal of all articles and messages and of the banning or removal of a player from a game.

A Player is banned after receiving a second warning for a minor offense and choosing to ignore it, and with regards to a major offense, without warning.

In serious rule breaks involving rude or vulgar behaviour, accused Player accounts WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. (Warnings will be given if the circumstances allow).

Warnings are given clearly, and state the rule break and subsequent reason for the ban. They shall be made by an Ingame Private Message, both to your CoN account and to your registered email address.

Should Game Operators overstep their roles in the community, affected users can complain to the Senior Game Operator. If the user has further complaints, these can be addressed by contacting the Main Administrator. If an issue is still ongoing you can contact the Community Co-ordinator via PM, and/or the Forum PM, or by sending in a support ticket.

If then there is still a need for clarification, players can always contact one of the Community Managers with your complaint via PM/forum conversation or by making a support ticket.
