01. You need to have a working email address and a url/post/website to put your cards up on. On this url you're also required to have a badge, or code, linking back to the game (http://empire.zed-pm.net). You also need to have a log where you keep a record of the trades you made as well as the cards you received from various games.
02. You can pretty much use whatever name or nickname you wish, just don't get too ridiculous with it, like harrypotter4evah77.
03. Upon receiving your starter deck, it is preferred if you have it up within a week. Please email me once they are up to receive one extra random card! If it's not up within 2 weeks, you will be placed on the troubles list.
04. While a member of the game, it's preferred that you update as often as you can. If I find that you haven't updated in at least a month, I will put you on our troubles list. You can be removed from this by emailing me or updating your post again.
05. Please DO NOT start playing the games until you have received your starter pack! Likewise, you cannot take "freebies" and such which were posted BEFORE you were a member. Only take the cards from the day you were added and after.
06. CHEATING will not be tolerated on here. If I find that you are, or have been, you will be removed. This includes writing false entries in your logs and taking cards from games and not playing them.
07. If you ask someone to trade and they don't wish to, don't badger or harass them. Move on. Similarly, if you trade with someone, please make sure you send them their card(s) you traded. If you place the words "cheeky monkey" in the comments box, you will receive one extra random card in your starter pack! It's not fair to leave someone hanging waiting on you to send the cards and you never do.
08. Direct linking is also not allowed. Please upload everything to YOUR OWN SERVER. The forum will be the only place where we will be able to do this.
09. Please only join the game as ONE person. If we find you've joined as several different players, we will remove them ALL.
It sounds like a lot, but it's just basic stuff really and something you find on every trading card game! So, you probably already know it all! Please also visit the about page for more information!
