New and very important rule

The rule is quite simple. And I expect EVERYONE to follow it. Consequences for not following it is a huge penalty on your nation, or a ban.

PM's are not to be swapped between players. If you want to talk to a player about something, or plot or whatever.
Send me the PM, the name of the player you're sending it to, and the message. Then the other player does the same with me, and I pass it back. This rule has been put in place to make spies a good tactic and useful for finding out who your enemies are. Of course, people could just lie about information, or attempt to use their own spy to find out if they're being spied on and so forth.

And another new rule.

Out of game chat, regarding player actions, player goals or anything to do with other players is forbidden. I'll be taking measures to make sure it doesn't happen. Penalties will be severe if necessary. If repeated, I WILL ban the concerned player/s.

Posting just to remind people about these rules. These are the rules that WILL make the game more fun for everyone. Plus, those players who I PM'd about reporting people who do break the rules, you are reminded of your roles and reminded not to reveal yourselves, not even to each other. On a side note, I wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a merry New Year.

Good gaming everyone.

Are we allowed to converse with you about the game in off-site but private channels?

Yes, that's not a problem.
