Server Rules
Be respectful of others with your words and actions.
#S-2
At all times, attacks can only be made on players who are no more than 3 levels below you or not in an alliance.
#S-3
Attacks on bases within hives can only occur if it is KE day AND they have more than one health bar.
#S-4
Do not attack resource tiles.
#S-5
Disputes that cannot be settled by the R5's of two alliances shall be decided by the other R5's on the server through mediation.
Respectful communication is expected by all players; a player MUST NOT bully, persecute, or otherwise speak offensively toward others under any circumstances.
1.B
An alliance may port a recently-booted member from its territory, but only after giving that player 24 hours’ notice to move, unless that player has been inactive for more than seven days.
1.C
Attacks on resource tiles (food, oil, or gold) are strictly prohibited.
Individual attacks are only allowed on bases that have no alliance tag (clanless) AND that have the default “wy.” name ONLY.
2.B
Any other PvP during this time is strictly prohibited unless agreed to by both parties as a friendly battle and documentation of such an agreement is recorded.
Attacks are allowed on bases in opposing hives and outside of them in accordance with the other rules of this section.
3.B
ALL (anywhere, anytime) attacks on player bases MUST be constrained to those BASES within three levels below your level, but can be as high above you as you are willing to hit (i.e. a level 60 player can hit a level 57 to level 80 base, but cannot hit below level 57).
3.C
The only exception to Rule 3.A is when you are attacked by a player more than three levels below you, you may retaliate hit-per-hit (if they attack once, you may hit once ONLY).
3.D
Porting of players is only allowed when they are outside of their own hive; inside their hive they may only be ported if they issue an attack with only one health bar left.
3.E
Players may be reinforced by alliance-mates of any level, but only within their own hive territory; reinforcements are not allowed outside of the hive.
3.F
Rally attacks may only occur against bases that are reinforced; such rallies may contain members up to three levels above that of the highest-level reinforcing player, and it is the responsibility of the rally initiator to ensure so.
3.G
An alliance MAY, if desired, call for a temporary ceasefire while its stronger members are taking part in the War of Odinium and are not available to protect their hive; to do so, the alliance leaders should post notices in the Server Leaders’ Discord and in World Chat; this ceasefire goes both ways, so incoming and outgoing attacks are not allowed.
An alliance participating in the capital contest MUST cease all regular KE-related attacks; specifically, attacks on bases in opposing hives are FORBIDDEN.
4.B
KE Day Rule 3.B applies here, except when attacking a garrisoned building (capital or silo).
4.C
KE Day Rule 3.E applies here, but is amended to allow for reinforcement outside of the hive
4.D
KE Day Rule 3.C and 3.F applies here as is.
Attacks during silo scramble are limited to bases outside of their alliance hive.
5.B
KE Day Rule 3.B applies here, except when attacking a garrisoned building (silo).
5.C
KE Day Rule 3.E applies here, but is amended to allow for reinforcement outside of the hive.
5.D

A list of rules violators (the “Naughty List”) will be kept on the Alliance Leaders’ Discord server, as will proof of all rules violations used to justify additions or changes to the list.

One rules infraction will result in a warning and the player’s name added to the list.

Three rules violations will result in removal from their current alliance for 24 hours and will be noted on the list.

Four rules violations will result in a temporary blacklisting of this player from all alliances for one week and will be noted on the list.
6.F
Five rules violations will result in a permanent blacklisting of this player from all alliances and will be noted on the list.
6.G
Alliance Leaders may vote to remove a player from permanent blacklist if that player has shown a willingness to change and to play by the rules.
6.H
In especially blatant and damaging rules violations, Alliance Leaders may vote to instantly blacklist (5 strikes) a player.
6.I
Ignorance of the rules by a player who commits an infraction is not an excuse for committing that infraction. Therefore, the said player will suffer the consequences of his act.
Temporary and permanent rules changes may be made by vote of Alliance Leaders in the Server Leaders’ Discord.
7.B
Such votes must last at least 24 hours to allow Alliance Leaders time to vote, and the vote must conclude not less than 12 hours before the event they affect (if applicable) in order to allow all alliance members time to obtain and understand the rule change.
Given that there are minors, various nationalities and genders playing this game, profanity, sexual, religious and sexist words are forbidden.
8.B
Illicit/Illegal content sharing through URL or within Discord are strongly forbidden and will result in immediate discord ban and server report.
