Gods Community has some rules that we follow as a guide so that we may get along internally and externally with each other and other players. These policies are to be enforced and corrected as necessary. Please familiarize yourself with them whether you are a current member, prospective member, or visitor.
Allied Clans are treated with the same respect that members of Gods Community are treated. Members of allied clans are invited to play on all servers that the alliance supports. Allied clans will support each other in times of war and also in friendly clan vs. clan games. During clan vs. clan matches, if one clan needs members to fill their roster, members from the allied clan may participate as substitutes. Allied members are free to participate in any PoG section, game, or event that GODSCOMM supports. Allied clans will be listed on the Diplomacy page and their individual accounts can be found in section rosters.
Neutral Clans are treated with the same respect that members of Pact of Gods are treated. Members of neutral clans are invited to play all games that each clan supports. This is highly encouraged because the better each clan gets to know each other, the more reason to forge an alliance.
Enemy Clans happen over the course of time, Gods Community has made allies and enemies. Clans can only be added to the enemies list by majority vote of the Military Council. Official enemy clans have been found to have no honor and have directly negatively effected GODSCOMM and it's members. Any member found joining a Enemy clan will receive a DD. Members can not participate on any enemy funded server or VOIP, the only exception is a competitive league or ladder where match play requires the use of a enemy server.
GODSCOMM members must remember their conduct can still fall under GODSCOMM laws even against enemies. They are free to treat them as hostile if they encounter them on a public server and can use any game resources to defeat them. However under no circumstances are actions to result in illegal hacking of an enemy's sites, servers or channels. Large scale actions may take place, but can only be sanctioned by The Game AND Board Admins personally and he will state the rules of engagement at that time.
________________________________________________
Honorable Discharge
Any member resigning on good terms. This grants eligibility to return to GODSCOMM in the future, however there is a 30 day waiting period from the day you take HD or LOA before you can return. Once your account is purged from the system (generally 60-75 days after departure), you forfeit any awards or medals previously earned.
Dishonorable Discharge
Any member that is banned for breaking laws or disruptive conduct. Any member resigning with after effect flaming, bad mouthing, negative or destructive behavior towards GODSCOMM or its members can and will be changed from Honorable to Dishonorable status.
This disallows return to GODSCOMM for a minimum period of 6 months, at which time the banned member may apply and have the Council review the case. re-admittance is by no means guaranteed and subject to a 30 day evaluation period. All past awards and medals are permanently forfeited upon your dishonorable discharge and not returnable in the event you are readmitted to GODSCOMM.
Members joining a clan on the enemies list will be subject to their account status being changed to DD regardless of what their GODSCOMM account was set to at the time of their departure.
Behavior
* We emphasize teamwork and a family-like environment. We want everybody’s experience to be an enjoyable one.
* Be courteous to both Alliance members as well as non-alliance members. Remember that how you carry yourself reflects both upon you and the Alliance as a whole.
* If there are any disputes between players, please keep it civil. If the issue gets out of hand, please let the officers know what the situation is and we will do everything in our power to get it resolved.
* Members who have not logged on for over two weeks will be removed from the Alliance roster. If you know that you will be gone for extended periods of time, please let the officers know ahead of time so that you will not be removed. Since we dont want people pillaging GODSCOMM inactives then you come back and try to start a war
* For those who choose to leave, please contact an officer or the leader before doing so. If you choose to leave Gods Community, we will not be able to invite you back to the Alliance without consent from our entire officer staff. Letting us know why you left will make it easier for us to let you back into the Alliance if you ever change your mind at a later time. The Alliance is a family and when people leave it does affect others. Before you quit, think over your decision thoroughly.
* You may be removed due to inappropriate behavior at the discretion of the officers.(For more info read the detailed Policy located toward the bottom of this page)
* The Alliance is not here to cater to your every whim. While we will make every possible effort to help you, do not expect people to drop everything they’re doing to help you Attack someone or get You Materials necessary to build. You are not the only player with the need of materials.
Trading
* We promote free internal trading amongst Alliance members. If an item is of use to a Alliance member, it is perfectly acceptable to link it and offer it to the Alliance for free, but do not use Circular Messages to sell items to each other. The Marketplace is set up for individuals to sell items and trade skill services.
* Do not expect Gods Community members to provide their services for free. It is up to the individual Gods Community member to set their own fees or payments (i.e. mats.) We do encourage tradesmen to consider helping the Alliance out at a reduced or material only fee, as it helps promote a team atmosphere.
Pillaging
* We allow all members to pillage. one on one battles need not concern the entire alliance. If you pick a fight you must deal with the consequences. If you follow the Standing Military Standard, it will be very unlikely that someone will attack you.
* If you are attacked from multiple people from the same alliance please let the Council know right away. the faster you contact them the faster they can spring into action to find a solution to the problem. this does not necessarily mean a military counter attack.
If there are any problems or issues, please contact a Game Operator or a game/Board Admin to help resolve them. The integrity of the alliance is very important and nothing can break down an alliance faster than internal dissention. Your leadership team is here to help assist you in many things including working through issues and problems that may arise.
Be proud of the Alliance you are in! Gods Community was created to be a close group of players who enjoy playing with each other in IKARIAM.
*get leecher checker (From approved Scripts) to make sure you yourself are not leeching.. you will have one week to comply to the Equal Share Compromise or face severe repercussions once you join the alliance. This Will include but not limited to : No Military Support, Canceled Trade Treaties, No trades allowed to you, Removal from GODSCOMM, Allow pillages from people on your island to get the wood you are not donating.
*defaulting on "trades" this is where you request some material in exchange for something else. a person sends you the goods and you do not send the goods you promise. THIS IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE TO THE ALLIANCE. any one who defaults on a trade will be subjected to being removed from GODSCOMM, with out warning. you are ripping off your own alliance and we will not stand for that. If the council finds out that you default on a trade with a non alliance member that player will have free access to attack and pillage you. If this happens twice you will be removed from the alliance. You can start wars because you default on payments. Don't do it. if you have already defaulted on a trade/payment to another alliance member you will have two days to communicate with the player you are short with and get the goods to them or a payment plan.
*if you ask for a cultural treaty make sure you accept them. if you filled up before they got there please let them know.
