Game Rules

Multiple Accounts
 
> Having more than 1 account is forbidden.
> If we find that you are using more than one account, we will remove your account, no questions 
   asked. We have a strict Zero Tolerance policy for cheating.

NOTE: Being a Supporter in no way makes you exempt from the rules, or qualifies you for special treatment. Any user caught cheating will be dealt with in the same manner, regardless of their status as a supporter.

 Shared Computers

> As this is a browser based game & therefore difficult to prevent cheating we are very strict about 
   sharing the same computer/internet connection.
> Don't even log into your friends computer/internet connection as it will show as a multiple account & 1 
   or both accounts will be banned from the game.
> We take pride in having a cheat free game.

Outside Programs & Glitches

> Using an outside program, glitch, or any browser tricks (including plug-ins & auto refresh/load) in 
   the game to alter the affects of the game is considering cheating.
> If you are found abusing either one, your account may be removed. Please report any bugs or glitches 
   you find in the game. If we find you are a abusing them, we will have your account disabled.

Quitting

> Don't ask us to close your account so you can open another. This is a form of cheating.
> If you open an account, attack somebody, ask us to close it, start a new one & attack him again is 
   like using multiple accounts. We will not close any account. You just have to wait for the new round 
   to start over from scratch.
> If you want to quit just leave & the next round you won't have any character registered. You would 
   be able to play other rounds later.
> Do not put in your profile, "get cash from me, free cars etc.".
> Do not message people & tell them that your leaking the round either.
> Anyone who attacks a person who says "I'm leaking" or "I quit" will have the master account disabled.

Leaking

> You may not in any way message or tell anyone that your defensive units or operatives are 
   happy/unhappy to give them an unfair advantage.
> Do not post or advertise your giving away free money or anything else for that matter as it will get  
   you banned from game.

The following scenarios are against the rules:

*Leaving & rejoining a cartel with the intention of letting its members attack you for purposes of 
  increasing their networth.

*Kicking someone from your cartel for the purpose of hitting any player in your cartel & then inviting 
  them back.

*Dropping out of your own cartel to attack one of your own cartel members who has a contract on 
  his/her head & then rejoining the same cartel.

Cheating or game bugs

> If you have any problems, find a bug in the game or found a game abuser (cheater), let us know 
   by sending a message to a MobsterGame admin or moderator so we can take the appropriate action. 
> You will be rewarded for providing us this information.

Attacking & Inactivity

> There are many different strategies to playing TMG. Some players build, collect & produce to rank. 
   Some like to lie in wait for others to collect/produce & then attack them & steal their resources 
   to rank. Others like to play the role of spoiler, & attack players just to keep them from ranking.
> While this strategy is 100% acceptable, we do require that if a player choose this method of play, 
   he/she is required to log in & play the entire round without consistently going inactive for 
   extended amounts of time.
> While we respect that players may sometimes have extenuating circumstances that may cause them 
   to be away from the game for an extended amount of time, we will not allow a player to spoil 
   another player's round & max out on a daily basis or leave for days at a time.
> This is unfair to players who log in consistently to ensure a productive round. If you don't have the 
   ability to remain active throughout the entire round without maxing, do not choose this method of 
   game play.

*If you choose to be a killer, the allowable inactive time for Associates is 12 hours &
  Made Men/Godfathers on an upgrade will be 18 hours.

> If we are notified that a player is initiating attacks & surpassing the allowable inactive time, we 
   will investigate the player in question to verify the claim.
> If found to be accurate, we will reverse these attacks by giving the victim(s) their resources back.
> Furthermore, once resources are returned, the following will happen:

1st offense: The attacking player's account will be notated.
2nd offense: Player's account will be notated & a warning will be given.
3rd offense: Player's account will be locked for one week.
Anything beyond the third offense will result in a permanent ban.

*This rule is in place to stop players from signing in, taking a sole position of attacking, & then leaving for extended amounts of time. It does not apply to a player whose attacks are in retaliation to other players attacking him/her. So, if you attack a player & he/she attacks you back & then leaves for a couple days, don't contact an admin asking for your resources back. If you drew first blood, you are not entitled to redemption of your resources.

Hit Contracts & Divesting Units

> Divesting Units is meant to lower your networth in order to get into range of another player for 
   the purpose of attacking them.
> Divesting units in order to drop in rank so another player can attack you for personal gain will not 
   be tolerated.

> Collusion by hiring hit contracts for no reason other than to increase another players networth will not 
   be tolerated. Example: Lets say you have a friend that's planning to go for a specific rank in the 
   current round.
> Hiring hit contracts on random players for him/her to take in order to pad his/her networth will not 
   be tolerated. (& yes, we can tell the difference) Contracts should be hired anonymously. Giving 
   any player an advanced notice of your intention to hire contracts on another player gives them an 
   unfair advantage & will be considered farming.
> You may not collect contracts hired by another member of your cartel. Leaving your cartel to attack 
   a contracted player & then rejoining in order to circumvent this rule will not be tolerated. Any 
   resources gained by doing this will be removed from your account.

Farming

> Asking other players to sell their resources so you can attack them for their cash is considered 
   farming & against the rules.
> Asking players to hire hit contracts on other players for your personal gain is also considered farming.
> Farming is a bannable offence & will not be tolerated.

Nudity

> Though this is an 18 & over game, nudity is not allowed on profiles or family medias.
> Strong sexual content is also not allowed.
> You will be given an opportunity to remove the offensive material or it may be removed for you.
> If you refuse to replace it or continue to abuse this rule, you will be removed from the game.

Spamming

> We are really strict about spammers. Please do not post links to other MMORPG games on the net, 
   it’s just out of respect to the programmers who work hard on this game.
> This includes posting links to sites that contain links to other games.
> Do not message other players with links to other games. Your account will be banned permanently 
   without warning.


Posting

> Do not post any attacks on the public boards or in Public chat rooms.
> Only share attacks with members of your cartel.
> Do not post derogatory remarks about the game or any of its staff members.
> If you have any issues with a staff member, contact an admin. If you are creating drama towards the 
   game, your posts & posting privileges will be removed until an admin can be notified.

*We have zero tolerance for this behavior.*

Extortion

> Players are not allowed to extort turns from another player in any instance.
> Since turns can be purchased with real money, this can cause legal problems.

> A player is free to threaten another player with a 00 at any time for any reason. However, that 
   player cannot demand turns not to do so.
> A cartel is free to protect or take over a city by threatening to destroy other mobsters who travel 
   there. However, you may not demand turns for permission to stay there.

Profanity/Racial usernames or comments

> This is a game & games are meant to be fun. If your player name or cartel name have any profanity 
   or racist comments in it then you will be asked to change it or be banned & told why.
> Profiles or profile pics that get complaints will be dealt with accordingly.
> Since swearing tends to always be an issue on games of this type, we have a profanity filter built into 
   the game.
> By default, the filter is turned on for all new users. You may choose to turn off the filter if profanity 
   doesn't bother you.
> To disable this feature, simply click on "Account" in the system area & scroll down to "word filter".


Threatening Posts/Racial/Sexual Comments

> This is a Mafia based game & insults & threats are a part of that. However, sending messages 
   or making posts on a messageboard that personally threatens another player or their livelyhood will 
   result in you being removed from the game.
> You are welcome to tell someone you are going to take out them & their whole cartel (gamewise). 
   You are not allowed, for example, to tell someone you know where they live & are coming to get 
   them or to wish any diseases on them or their family.
> This is a game & it's meant to be fun. Keep your threats to within the realm of the game.
> Abusive posts on public boards will not be tolerated. Insulting someone's race, religion, 
   mental/physical handicaps or sexual orientation on public messageboards will result in your removal.

Offensive Private Messages

> Again, this being an 18+ mobster game, there will be offensive messages flying when players get 
   heated.
> If another player is sending you private messages that are offensive to you in any way, we have an 
   Ignore feature built into the game to take care of this.
> Simply go to the offending players profile, mouse over the "Actions" tab & click on "Ignore".
> You will receive nothing further from that player.

Cartels

> The size of cartel/family is currently restricted to 12 members but may increase as the amount of 
    registered players increases.
> You are free to have alliances or cartel extension but we are not responsible for that & do not provide 
   any tools to handle them.
> Allied cartels & cartel extensions can use the same icon providing they can be distinguished from 
   one another.

TMG Casino

> The Mobster Game Poker Room is a free entertainment service for all of our players. We will 
   occasionally have tournaments for turn prizes & giveaways so keep an eye out for system messages.
> Since the poker service is rented from pluginpoker.com & doesn't belong to TMG, there is no way 
   for us to regulate it's use.
> Bets for turns are strictly forbidden by pluginpoker therefor any wagers made between players is at 
   their own risk.
> Do not come to the moderators or admins about someone not paying off a bet. 

Common Sense

> Just because the rule isn't listed here, doesn’t make it right.
> Please think & use common sense before you take action.
> If you're unsure about whether or not something may be a rules violation, contact a staff member.
