I Account-Sharing Account-sharing is not allowed. The account must be played by one individual only.
II Multi-Accounting Every player is entitled for a single account at a time per MetalDamage Server. multiple accounts of the same individual will be blocked. Accounts for the sole purpose of increasing victim count and money also fall under this regulation. If several users are accessing the game using the same network IP (e.g. School, company, group house etc), the respective players are required to prove they are individuals, if doubted. Special care should be taken to ensure no more common account settings are being used, when the IP already is identical to multiple accounts. An identical IP alone is not a common reason to be blocked. Attacking the same targets together with a player on same IP can result in a ban as well as an attack on a player having the same IP as the attacker.
III Account Exchange Any given account is related to the person to which the fixed eMail-adress belongs to. 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).

4. Extortion [list]Extortions and threats that relate to a players "real life" (physical, as compared to "virtual live" on the net) can cause limited or unlimited blockage of the respective account the threats or extortions were sent. Such blockage would also cover access to the MetalDamage Forum.[/list]

I Definition/Restriction More than 5 attacks on a single player in one day (24 hours) are defined as bashing and that is not allowed.
II Special Cases In-game actions such as repeated attacks to an extend where the attacked player is unable to play the game and build up can be punished whereas the decision is made by the game operator.

6. Withdraw [list]Actions done by a game operator responsible for a given MetalDamage Server can only be reversed by another game operator if the game admin agrees.[/list]

If a player faces disadvantages caused by programming errors or other misbehaviors or errors by the MetalDamage team, he is not generally entitled for any refunding or resurrection of the accounts state before the occurrence of the disadvantage (e.g. backup).
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 maybe excluded from further game play (Exception: Intervention by contacting the superior super game operator).

10. Change to Game Rules [list]Game rules will generally not change, but due to changes ingame as the game develops, the MetalDamage team reserves the right to change the game rules as needed.[/list]
