How to not make people hate you:
- Be courteous to other players. Sometimes a well timed gift or complement can land you a strong ally.
- Listen to what other people are saying, reply appropriately.
- Give your fellow players advice. Answer their questions. Sometimes share strategies they may not have considered.
- Think before you type.
- Do no act like a jerk. Seriously, do not be a jerk.
- Killing someone who has no loot, nor any power, is kind of a dick move. Speaking of killing...
- After you have crushed your enemies, seen them driven before you, and heard the lamentation of their women, there's no point in continuing your war against them. They are defeated. Just stop.
- An enemy player's power ranges from -25 to 25. The only reason to kill an enemy with no loot and stuck at -25 power, is to just be a dick. Stop.
- Seriously, stop.
- A few asses is acceptable, but if you sound like a rap artist, you will be kicked.
- Racial slurs are disallowed.
- Gender slurs disallowed.
- Sexual references, such as rape or sodomy are disallowed.
- Discussion of real world religious or political topics is disallowed. To clarify, you can build the white house and name your cow Jonah, but don't try and get people to vote for your candidate or condemn their beliefs.
- Don't try and say "I didn't mean it like that." Just because you didn't intend a certain meaning, don't act like that the meaning isn't there. While you would be correct in calling that annoying jerk a dick, you're still referring to him as a penis.
- Nobody likes a sore loser.
- Nobody likes a sore winner.
- Chances are if you rage in defeat, you've probably brought the war on yourself in some way. It's uncanny how the disliked players are always the ones to rage.
