Regulations of the NW Patriot Act
Suiciding - "Someone who destroys someone else for no reason or logical/strategical gain".
Nobody wants to take the thrill of warring out of this game. What we want is to take or limit the best we can, suiciding.
If you go to war due to revenge, you are not a suicider. If you war to advance in the scores, you are not a suicider. If you war as a pre-emptive action to protect your nation you are not a suicider. This is mainly a war game and people love to war. All we are doing is trying to help keep the ones who like to go off and destroy a state or a nation cause they find it funny and then hide there identity.
Proving a suicide is not easy. There must be clear evidence.
If you feel your state has been suicided on, you MUST fill out a report by clicking on the "Report Cheater" tab in the game and include as much info and evidence as you can. PM's or posts in the forums will be ignored.
We will then take all the info and look into the matter. If we feel an investigation needs to start, we will open one. As soon as one is opened, the suspected state receives
an automatic message letting him/her know that an investigation has been opened and for what reason. The suspected state then has the right to reply with his/her side of
the story. If after 24hrs there is no response, the admins assume the suspected state has no comment and we will continue with the investigation with just the evidence
we have on hand. If the Evidence we have is overwhelming, we will not even request a response. But suspected state ALWAYS has a right to have a say in the matter.
During an investigation the admins must BOTH agree that it is in fact a suicide for anything to happen. If either one does NOT agree, then the case is dropped and nothing happens.
If a suicide happens and nothing is reported, the we will NOT open an investigation ourselves. And only the member/state who was suicided on can make a report to open an investigation.
Each matter is handled per case. We do not make one overall rule as each matter has different circumstances. Suicides are not open for public debate. You all are free to discuss it, but Admins will not give out any details or explanations on the final ruling..
Roll back are an included option in the Patriot Act, and WILL BE used accordningly. Admins reserve the right to roll back any state at anytime after a suicide has taken place.
