We hate Quitters! They ruin games!

Do you hate trolls who lose one battle and rage-quit? Want a better AoW3 experience where everyone stays until the end and you can finally see epic battles and high strategy? This group is for you!

To join the group please read the rules below and chat with one of the group's officers (AbedNegoJC, Ayenara, Brutal_Felix, ExNihil, Griffith, WhiteKnighted), either directly or using the group's chatroom.

RULES:

1) No-Quitting! Unless you have a real life emergency, lose the game, or have found a proper substitute. Surrendering is allowed only when defeat is imminent and with the approval of the game host.

2) Only play when you know you have enough time: for instance 4 person medium map= 3+ hours, 6 person medium map 4+ hours. If you know you have to quit early, inform the host before-hand, if he still accepts you into the game, it’s your mutual responsibility to get a substitute.

3) If the game is reloaded, for instance when someone disconnects, the game desyncs or there is a bug, RETURN FOR RELOAD. It is the player’s responsibility to return to the game and the host’s responsibility to reload. The group’s chat room can be used to coordinate a reload or it can be done privately using steam.

4) When a battle takes place and one of the players disconnects (which cancels the battle) the game will be reloaded using the auto-save or a save made before the battle. The two warring players must do exactly what they did before the previous battle session, meaning – no new units, troop movements, spells and so forth.

5) All players should be respectful and display good sportsmanship. If a player abuses or harasses other players in chat or plays with the sole purpose of annoying other players, the game host should reload the game without the offending player and find a proper substitute. If it is the game host who is acting like this, the players are allowed to reload without the host or scrap the game.

6) Feel free to host any type of game you like. Be sure to announce your settings so other players are not mislead.

7) Manual combat against independents is strictly prohibited. If a player unintentionally manuals he should retreat immediately. Autocombating human players is strictly prohibited unless explicitly discussed and agreed upon!

The following rules are recommended but not mandatory. A game’s host should decide before hand and discuss with the players implementing the following:

I. The 15s Rule: If a game follows the 15s rule, players are not allowed to attack other players AT ALL for the first 15s of a turn. If for some reason a player happens to attack before 15s have passed, he must retreat. That is, unless the attacked player explicitly and publicly allows this.

II. No-Alliances Rule: Using this rule the alliance function is prohibited in FFA games.

III. No Split-Stacking Rule: When engaging in battle both players allow the other to bring in their available forces as long as they have sufficent MP to form in the same turn.
