AuthorRule editing - final sum-up
These changes were made to previous rule edition during the preparation to merge, and as a result of it.
Current rules version may always be seen at https://www.lordswm.com/help.php?section=5

2.3.1. (NEW) It is forbidden to decompile Flash resources of the game. It is forbidden to post decompiled Flash materials (text, images, flash animation, sounds), hidden, unused, or designed for future updates in the forum, in personal information, in photo album and in HWM Daily.
(A lot of skilled people were spoilering heavily during volcano eruption, so here's the Administration's answer)

3.3.1 (NEW) It is forbidden to post messages that would complicate reviewing battle chat logs and transfer logs.
(It has always existed, just hasn't been posted in the rules. NO flood in transfer and battle logs)

3.4.1 (NEW) Instigation to or declaring the intention of breaking a rule is prosecuted as violation of that rule.
(Watch your language, wherever you type)

3.5.1 (NEW) It is forbidden to spread referral links inside the project (including game site, daily newspaper site, game radio site). Inviting players to start over by becoming referred, promising players to pay any reward in exchange for being referred is also forbidden.
(All players are to remove all referral links from their personal information, estate description, etc)

3.7.1. (NEW) The owner is held responsible for lost password of his or her character.
(More details in C&A sticky thread)

3.11.1 (EDIT) Additional characters are not allowed to play "Two Towers" games with gold bets. Regardless of combat level and Gamblers' Guild level, the only allowed bet is 0 gold. Additional characters are allowed to play in official Card Tournaments.
(Easy to check in game log, even easier to punish. No card games with bets ever)

3.13.8. (NEW) Additional character cannot be of higher combat level than the main one.
(Been discussed multiple times. Additional details are in "Merge - Important notes and new features" thread)

3.14. (EDIT) There are limits for transfers intended as presents or loans. Maximum size of debt that can be owed to all other players in total is 15,000 * [Combat level] gold.
(down from 20,000 * CL)

3.13.6. (HUGE EDIT) Additional characters are not allowed to buy, trade or exchange insignia, and rare/set artifacts.
Rare artifacts are any items that are not displayed in the Artifact shop and that cannot be acquired in hunt. Shop artifacts of increased durability are not rare artifacts and may be traded by additional characters.
Additional characters can enter the Thieves' Guild using diamonds, TGIs may not be bought by them. Additional characters may trade rare artifacts obtained in chests of abundance, TGIs obtained through reaching TG level 5, Thief, Plunderer, Ranger, and Tactician sets artifacts obtained through leveling in respective guilds, but only at the market as auction for 3 days with initial price of 1 gold and no buyout price.
(So now, it is no problem to sell set artifacts and even TGI when your add receives them. Please note the only legal way to do so. Enchanted arts and event rares etc. Must still be sold in one week after the merge, after that, there will be consequences)

3.13.9. (NEW) Additional characters are not allowed to buy, sell or exchange enchanted items.
(No comments)

3.13.10. (NEW) Additional characters are not allowed to join any clans.
(All adds who are member of clans are to leave them permanently).

3.14.1. (EDIT) Maximal cost of game services is listed in the local rules thread in trade forums. Financial assist disguised as payment for such services is forbidden.
(Old 3.14.1. has been removed, now all transfers without proper comments will be considered LOANS, not presents).

3.16. Staged combats leading one of the parties to losing a priori will be punished for. A staged combat by definition is one where: Any one of the parties or party members intentionally loses to the other for any reason different from having technical problems with access to the game; combats with not full armies (except for cases when falling into thief ambushes), unless it is a combat against a character of lower level, in which case highest tier creatures may be not recruited; giveaway combats in which players intentionally move their troops to become an easy target to opponent without any tactical interest (which may be consulted with any players of same combat level). Instigation to losing a combat and promising to lose a combat is also forbidden.
(Discussed already)

3.18. (NEW) Players are allowed to store other players' artifacts in their own inventory, i.e. rent inventory space. The only acceptable transfer of artifacts for such storage is a 0 combats lease with the cost of 1 gold. Maximum term for such transfer is 1 month as defined by rule 3.14. Maximum acceptable price for renting out inventory space is defined in the local rules thread in trade forums.
3.18.1. (NEW) In cases when the terms of inventory space rent are not observed (for the reason of the owner having full inventory), the owner becomes blocked temporarily, for 7 days, to enable force return of the artifact.
(Blocks will be temporary, as a necessary measure to secure a player's artifacts. Note that the limit of maximum loan debt applies, so a character of low combat level who rents a 5x12% enchanted items is extremely likely to break a serious rule)

3.23. (EDIT) Any custom combat and card game tournaments with a prize reward and/or a participation fee are forbidden.
(There are more than enough official card tournaments now, no more need for custom ones)

3.24. (EDIT) Spreading Harmful Links (SHL) is prohibited. SHL means giving reference through any of the game media to sites containing any of the following:
-viruses (including screamers);
-black markets, bots, "cheats" etc. for LordsWM;
-materials of indecent or insulting content;
-other online games or their advertising;
-options of earnings through the Internet;
-polls on subjects not concerning the game;
-counters of visits (clicks), unless they are related to the game;
-a request to enter one's character's password.
(Added screamers and all those popular character markets and what not)

3.25.1. (EDIT) It is forbidden to post links to any programs and scripts except those by LazyGreg, xo4yxa, HapblB, Antviolence and TheatreOfPain. Beware of forgery.
(Please welcome the new credited scriptwriter, TheatreOfPain)

3.27. (EDIT) Clan ownership and/or positions in clan cannot be sold. Clan ownership can be passed to another character free of charge only. (Clan treasury is now considered the property of its previous owner and should not be transferred to the new owner).
(Already discussed)

3.29. (EDIT) In case if the clan leader becomes blocked, the Administration does not compensate any fees paid to the clan.
3.29.1. In case of block of clan's leader, all negotiations are to be made with its deputy. If clan deputy had not been appointed, any funds paid or donated to that clan will not be returned.
3.29.2. It is possible to ask an Administration representative to reassign the clan leadership from leader to deputy in the following cases:
- Military clan: clan leader is absent from the game for 3 months or more; the leader has not prohibited to reassign leadership in his clan in his or her personal information page;
- Clan with blocked leader: the leader does not have "Not to be unblocked" seal in his transfer log; the leader is not blocked for financial assist, insults or SHL; at the moment of block the clan counts more than 50 members.
(Enough details on the rule itself, I guess)
I do not fully understand what is meant by this sentence, what is a "screamer"
(Added screamers and all those popular character markets and what not)

And for 2.3.1. is it also not allowed to post screenshots of the map in flash after the event? Because that way the screenshot can be the size of the entire screen instead of the smaller map in game. And if the event is already over there cant be any spoilers anymore.
What does flood in transfer and battle logs mean?
for Phil_Odaerin:

and for battle logs:

usually 3rd party's advertising, unnecessary comments, insults considered as flooding.
Thanks for the clarification. Wanted to make sure what that is, so I don't do it accidentaly, but as far as I can see, these are the things I'm sure I would never do ;)
so if i write in combat in between comments like: yay! or go go go! or cmon we can win ... then its flooding?
for Lord PLAY-LIKE-A-PR0:
if you will post a lot of such messages, it would be flooding.
I do not fully understand what is meant by this sentence, what is a "screamer"

I suppose they are links with an ungly face that appears with a loud sound o screaming. Didn't you ever got one? :)
I need clarification about my new additional which was a main before merge.

I bought a TGI from market with that character long time ago. I MAY reach thief lvl 5 and get a TGI from system. Is my additional allowed to sell that TGI, say, 1 year later, with an auction as described 3.13.6 ?
Please 'Sticky' this thread.

The new rule says that an additional char can sell, but not buy, rare art gained by gaining levels in one of the guilds (ranger set, thief/plunder set, tactical set, TGI) but only with the 1 gold auction for 3 day with no upper limit.

Which is great, I was afraid I would be stuck with a TGI in inventory that cannot be sold used or transferred.

You have a limited time to sell those arts that are gained for participating in events that have your (or other player) name on it. Example: Temporal armour
This topic is long since last update and considered obsolete for further discussions.
