<h2>Know the Rules</h2>

The rules outlined here apply to any CoN campaign. By playing <b>Conflict of Nations: World War 3</b>, you agree to adhere to these terms. Violations, their severity, and consequences are determined on an individual basis.

<h3>Diplomacy and CoN NEWS (CON)</h3>

<li class="li_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.  

<h3>CON News and Chat</h3>

<li class="li_con"> The naming or denunciation of users/players who '''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. Offenders risk being removed from the round.

<h3>Multi Accounts</h3>

<li class="li_con"> The use of more than one account into one gameID is strictly prohibited, as stated clearly in CoN's [https://www.conflictnations.com/fileadmin/templates/conflictnations/legal/tos.html Terms of Service] under point 4.1.

<li class="li_con">Forming groups of Users in Dorado Games or Services beyond the applicable group limits (Wolfpacking) with the sole reason of gaining added benefits or tipping the balance of the Games in favor of the Users. Often this behavior is accompanied by deliberately making the experience miserable for new or less experienced Users (Ganking). ALLIANCE CAP: Alliance members belonging to the same Alliance are not allowed to join the same game beyond the coalition limit for said map (GameID).

Currently, the Wolfpacking rule means the following:

<li class="li_con"> Players that join the game with no intention of playing skillfully, and instead assist another player only to leave once the damage is done. For example, player X invites player Y to join. Player Y sends all his units to a neighboring nation only to close the game. The breach rule here is that the sole intention of joining was to take up a slot, and make the game easier for another player.

<li class="li_con">  In Game Creation, the Game Title must adhere to the rule regarding [[#Abusive Language|abusive language]] in, both, title and description. If needed, a game creator can be removed from the round and all description settings changed.

<li class="li_con"> Victory Points (VP) total for victory are reached.

<li class="li_con"> Retire Option is selected by remaining active players in a round (becomes available when 5 or fewer players remain active)

<li class="li_con"> 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!

<li class="li_con"> The support team is '''NOT''' obliged to remove or replace players from a round if a player goes inactive.  

<h3> Privacy</h3>

<li class="li_con"> 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 publish a private conversation/message to the public, the EXPLICIT consent of both participants is required.

<h3>The Role of the Game Operators</h3>

<li class="li_con"> Players MUST follow instructions from Game Operators!

<li class="li_con"> Game Operators have the right to penalize rule breaks. This can result in the removal of all articles and messages, and the banning or removal of a player from a game.

<li class="li_con"> 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.

<li class="li_con"> Warnings are given clearly, and state the violation and subsequent reason for the ban. They are communicated via Ingame Private Message, both to your CoN account and to your registered email address.

<li class="li_con"> 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.

<li class="li_con"> 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.
