Rules of LT freeciv game
Wed, 01/17/2007 - 19:28 — maho-admin
- Anyone can join, by clicking sign me button in appropriate game submission topic,
- Game starts when there's enough players
- Every player must have account created at longturn.org
- IM account on Jabber is good to have (GoogleTalk is jabber)
- Every player should make their moves every turn.
- If player don't want to play anymore, should give info about it to administrator or to group (see contact).
- If players is idle for 10 turns or more, or 3 turns after he game is started or player is added to game, he might be removed.
- If player can't play few turns due to some circumstances, he should inform other players about it so he would not be removed from the game.
- Create a poll, if you want changes in settings, ruleset or rules of the game. Voting duration should be 1 week.
- The only successful outcome of a team game is for one winning team; either by
- militarily defeating all other teams;
- arriving in the first spaceship;
- for all opposing live teams to have surrendered (if all live players agree to it).
- In all other games arbitrary players (with arbitrary win share) may be considered the winner of an
LT game if they agree to it, and if all live players agree to it. - (Special rule for LTeX):every new player submission can be voted by existing players.
- when team game start time arrives, and teams are still incomplete, administrator will remove players who make team conflicts or are not members of any team, in following order:
- players which are without team,
- those players, removal of which will make 2 or more teams conflict resolved (conflicting players).
- if there is more than one conflicting player for given conflict - administrator has right to choose which one will be removed.
- if (b) won't elimitnate all conflicts - remaining players which are member of conflicting teams.
- list of players mentioned in previous point will be sent as a comment to game node, day before removal.
- game start date will be announced in one week advance or sooner.
- In a team game, all members of the team can delegate to any other member of the team. But delegating to a member of another team is forbidden.
- Delegation should be allowed only when really away reason occured, should be removed right after away person is no longer away, and should not be repeated more often than once a week
- Passwords are secret. Player cannot give his password to anyone else. Every player who gives his password to someone, just as player which use that password to login to game/site - will be removed from related game. They both (or one of them) can be removed from all games or/and site, temporarily or permanently.
- There should be no delegation at all to active players in game without diplomacy . Only an outsider or RIP player can cover for you while you are away.

You're rather looking for general freeciv help, not for longturn one. Am I right?
If yes, you should rather look for answer at http://www.freeciv.org

well it seem Freeciv.com doesn't answer questions....No offense to anyone but how can people want to stick with a game when they can't rely on the web site to the game to answer questions pertaining to the game...

First, how is it related to rules? Wouldn't forum be better to ask the question?
Second, LT9 will start near September, but it's full. You can wait until someone will be idler and will be removed, or until LT10 will start, or you can sign to neverending experimental game.
As became clear in this
As became clear in this discussion there are inconsistencies and gaps in the Game Rules, specifically rule number 10.
I've updated the Rules of the Ranking List to take away some of these gaps and inconsistencies (see here for the list of rules), and I think many of the changes and new formulations of rules could be applied to the Game Rules as well. I'm willing to revise the Game Rules as well, to create one complete list of rules.
I'm always interested in comments and advise about the rules of the Ranking List, the most suitable place for that is this forum topic.

7. If players is idle for 10
7. If players is idle for 10 turns or more, or 3 turns after he game is started or player is added to game, he might be removed.
Rule #7: should be modified to "If player is idle for 10 turns or more during the game, or 3 turns at the begining of the game or after player being initially added to the game".
Also, I think 10 turns it too long to wait during a game. Should I make a poll on this?

Hmm, where is difference?

I think it isn't too long. But of course you can make poll on this.
There are 2 changes - one is
There are 2 changes - one is a typo "he" -> "the". The second is a more subtle change. The phrase "3 turns after the game is started" is misleading as the game is always "started" or else there would be no game to make moves.
Maybe we need to rethink this part anyway as we have started using the first turn is ~72 hrs and you must make move in first turn or be replaced.
How to change the map? The
How to change the map?
The map presently in use is joining the north to the south. I agree that Too Far East Is West, but I don't think Too Far North Is South. In fact, if the map remains like this, the world is a TORUS.

These rules need updating.
