§1 Accounts

I Account-Sharing
Account-sharing is not allowed. The account must be played by one individual only.

A violation of this rule will be punished according to the multi-accounting regulations.

II Multi-accounting
Every player is entitled to a single account at a time per Vendetta server. Multiple accounts belonging to the same individual will be blocked.
Accounts for the sole purpose of pushing another account - no matter if active (e.g. shipping of resources) or passive (e.g. raid target) also fall under this regulation.
If several users are accessing the game using the same network IP address (e.g. School, company, group house etc), if requested, the respective players are required to prove they are individuals. The burden of proof falls upon the individuals, not upon Vendetta.
Special care should be taken to ensure no more common account settings (other than an IP address) are being used. An identical IP alone is not a common reason to be blocked. Sending resources to a player having the same IP is forbidden as well as an attack on a player having the same IP as the attacker.

III Account exchange
Any given account is deemed to belong to the person to whom the fixed email-adress is registered. If users exchange accounts without the assistance of a game operator, no complaints or requests will be processed unless these originate from the fixed mail addresses with in the given accounts. Also there will be no backups or account rescues when the account exchange takes place without a game operator.
Game operators can not only exchange two accounts easily, they can ensure security from fraud.

§2 Bug-using

Exploiting errors, misbehaviors or bugs in the programming of Vendetta and usage of such to one's own advantage - so called bug-using - is not allowed. Every player is required to report found bugs immediately. Exploiting bugs to gain advantage in the game-play may be blocked from 1 day to indefinite time depending on the severity of the exploitation of a bug. The same applies to a player refusing to report a found bug.

§3 Interference with game technology

Installations and methods that cause excessive internet traffic to the server or can be used to impair normal gameplay should be omitted. In particular, automatic or semi-automatic scripts capable of interacting with the game database or issuing game commands, are prohibited and usage or installation of such result in an immediate and permanent ban from the entire game.
We reserve the right to claim damage in the amount of the caused damage plus coverage for administrative expenses.

§4 Extortion

Extortions and threats that relate to a players "real life" (physical, as compared to "virtual life" on the net) can cause limited or unlimited blockage of the respective account the threats or extortions were sent from. Such blockage could also cover access to any and all Vendetta services.

§5 Pushing

Definition / Prohibition
Pushing means to send resources to another account without evidence of an immediate return service. This is only allowed when the account being pushed has a lesser game score than the account sending the resources. Pushing does not only cover the simple sending of resources, but as a few EXAMPLES, it could also cover:

- presenting resources in a building for later retrieval using (multiple) attacks;
- additional means and possibilities where one account gets resources without sending back some.

So-called Banks or resource depots require the acknowledgment of a Super Game Operator or Game Administrator. The player is required to prove a return service taking not place simultaneously to the resource sending to the player/depot.
In-game extortion of resources is not permitted where it violates the pushing rule.
Payment of credits, headhunting orders and other similar actions not causing immediate return service of resources are conducted at the participating parties' risk.
Loaning of resources is not permitted.

A Game Operator should always be informed and permission sought for movement of resources from a lower ranked player to a higher ranked player without an immediate return service.

§6 General Conduct

Users are expected to treat other users with respect and courtesy. Using insults/offensive content/spam can result in a ban, and no correspondence will be entered into whatsoever regarding these bans.
The game is English and the language is English as well. If a player recieves a non-english ingame message and complains about it the person who sent the message could be banned.

Players are also forbidden to attack members of the official GO alliance.

§7 Withdrawal of punishments.

Actions done by a Game Operator responsible for a given Vendetta server can only be reversed by another Game Operator if the Game Administrator having done the action(s) agrees.

§8 Refund

I Errors
If a player faces disadvantages caused by programming errors or other misbehaviors or errors by the Vendetta team, he is not entitled to any refunding or resurrection of the accounts state before the occurrence of the disadvantage. If and in which form an exception to this regulation is made, is a matter of decision by the Game Administrator who is informed by the responsible game operator.

II Staff decisions
2. Should a player try to circumvent a decision or its implications issued by a game operator by contacting another game operator about the same matter, the player will immediately be excluded from further game play (Exception: Intervention by contacting the Super Game Operator).

§9 Exclusion from the game

Any breach of these rules can lead to blocking accounts and exclusion from the game. Depending on the severity of the offending action(s) the punishment may be extended to all Vendetta server, and further services provided by Vendetta (official forum, IRC channels), and to any/all other websites under the control of Vendetta. Members of the Vendetta team agree to fully present the offending action according to the best of their knowledge and their beliefs.

§10 General Operating Conditions

Players who can't agree to the general operating conditions of Vendetta due to their nationality, age or other reasons, are presented with the standard operating conditions using the internal interpretations of the rules as an addition. This way no legal binding of the player to the general operating conditions is established, however an equal position for all players is attained regarding the judgment of issues.
