* Law & Order Announcement *

Law & Order is working on a solution with the Development team to hard-code possible co-op prevention methods.

Kill stealing and the like will not be assumed automatic rule breaking, however each instance will be scrutinized.

For example, if you find a target who is already being targeted by another alliance and you contribute by reducing their homes, citizens, or removing spells and/or protection, those acts will be assumed to be contributions to the kill and will be subject to the Co-operation rule.

Law & Order would like for more actions to be impossible, rather than having to use staff powers to single out and punish individual tribes.

Please report any suspicious activity to Law and Order (#2)
