Ofcom has been engaging in international lawfare at the expense of the British taxpayer. While we are not under their jurisdiction, they still have enough time and money to crush us.
Our apologies. We'll be as lax and forgiving as we can. If anybody freer wants to take the reigns, please speak up.
Don't push it with pornoraphic material. Saucy flags are fine, but keep the extreme stuff out of the public eye. If you're uncertain, feel free to ask.
No "inciting hate". Messages that explicitely threaten or libel groups or individuals are prohibited.
It's not libel if you have good evidence, by the way.
Don't declare support for terrorists, or help fundraise for them.
The game itself has only five major rules:
1. One person, one account.
The cooperative aspects of this game and the vagaries of the market can be frustrating, even maddening. You will probably be tempted to make more accounts to get the things you need.
DON'T.
ONE account per person.
It wasn't your brother. It wasn't your friend. It wasn't you playing on public wifi. We can see through that.
If you're going to do something that might even LOOK like breaking this rule, contact the admin first.
2. No computer shenanigans.
No password theft, no spamming, no exploiting if you find one (in which case, tell the admin what it is).
3. Leave real life out of it.
If you're mad enough to dox someone over a browser pony game, it's time to re-evaluate your life's priorities.
>CLOP is chock-full of 4channers and other weirdos. Do not give any of these people your personal information, ever, especially if you actually own a stable.
4. You may not sacrifice your last nation.
Building a nation to be taken over by another player is banned. Buying and selling a player's last nation is banned. Giving anyone anything in recompense for taking his last nation is banned, whether you do it yourself or your friends do it for you.
Intentionally overloading your nation to give or lend the products to another player, knowing it will lead to the destruction of your nation, is banned. You may not prevent your nation from being taken over by burning it down or making it unviable, and you are not allowed to destroy your own buildings to spite an attacker as this is a crime against equinity. (Leaving nothing but a couple days' worth of upkeep for your ponies to survive on is okay.)
User scripts are permitted, unless they change the game state. Reading from the game is completely fine. Writing to it without actual player input is not. Don't automatically send armies, messages, deals etc.
Also, don't poll the server too frequently. If you're running your script every second you're going to be flagged as malicious traffic. To stay on the safe side, don't poll more than once per minute.
In case of a grey area, ask first.
Other than these, there are no rules. Take over the economy, manipulate the market, lie extravagantly, gang up on whoever you want.
