New rules

[spion]

Hi!

With this post, i am introducing some new rules. Please read them carefully.

1. Nick changes have started to happen more frequently. Since stratego very much depends on the knowledge of the opponent, it would be unfair to just change the nick and play as an "unknown" player against known opponents.

Rule: From now on, all nick changes will be published in the forum "News" unter a sticky posting "Nick changes".

2. It was not written down yet but i mentioned it very often:
It is considered unfair and not sportive to take nearly all 15 minutes to do a simple move.

Rule:
a) It is unfair to continously use excessive time to do simple moves. If a player does so without a reason and wins, his win will be removed. An arbiter may decide to give the win to the opponent. If a player continously shows this behavior, his account may be closed.

b) If a player wants to use much time to think, he has to tell this to his opponent before starting the game. If he does and the opponent agrees, the rule above will not apply to the game.

3. Ranked games:
Rule: In order to start playing rated stratego games, a player has to play at least 5 unrated games. At the moment, there is no check for this, so until there is a check, no new player will be registered until he has played 5 games.

please feel free to write comments.

Best regards
