Janice Players: Reminders about Appropriate Conduct when Angry


  • This universe is very new and competitive, and that is fantastic!


    But we’re beginning to cross the line and there seems to be some anger issues that need to be addressed:


    First:

    This is just a friendly reminder that Ogame is played by people of all ages, including children. Please try to avoid using foul language in your messages to other players or planet names and user name, since it's impossible to know who you're actually conversing with. Also leave out explicit sex acts and insults since those have no place in the game.


    Second:

    Overview spam sent because you’re angry at another player: Please note it is illegal to send attacks that are intended to saturate the interface of another user, whose only intention is to irritate, and distract another user. If you launch ships and that launch does not constitute a meaningful attack, you are causing overview spam. “He did it to me first” does not give you an option to disregard this rule.


    Third:

    Real life threats: Do not even jokingly say something like you’re going to find someone and harm them or do something to their family or property. It’s not funny, and no one knows when you are “joking”, and just to be perfectly clear ending such a statement with a smiley face is not a “pass” proving you were “kidding”.



    It is alright to be invested in the game, be competitive, and have rivalry. But we all need to remember first it is a game, and second, the best revenge and use of frustration is making a good hit with your ships and defeating your enemy.


    Please let's cut out these behaviors for a better game, and let staff focus on bigger and more meaningful issues.



    If you have any questions about these items they are covered in the Game Rules


    Thank you for listening, and please pass it on to all the players in Janice.
