By joining Antrophia you agree to the following rules:
1) ACCOUNT CREATION

• 1.1 - You must provide correct information to Antrophia when requested. This includes a valid email address.

• 2.1 - Multiple accounts ("multis") are NOT permitted.
  Antrophia has a NO TOLERANCE policy on multiple accounts, and anyone proven to be playing on multiple accounts will be deleted. Only ONE account per IP address. Antrophia employs a method of tracking IP's in order to find players who have created multiple accounts. Please keep this in mind, as people who play from public areas (such as schools, workplaces and internet cafes) are sometimes deleted under this rule. You should try to play Antrophia from an IP over which you have some control, such as your own home computer.
• 2.2 - If you already play an account, or someone in your household plays an account from the same computer or IP as you, you need to gain permission from the administration BEFORE opening further accounts .
  If you are found to be using multiple accounts without having notified Antrophia staff, ALL suspected accounts will be reset.
• 2.3 - If you created a multiple account for any reason, or have multiple accounts logged in at the same time, you are required to notify Antrophia staff, and have extra accounts deleted.
• 2.4 - If you suspect a player of holding multiple accounts, please post their information including any evidence in the Cheating Forum.
• 2.5 - Bots, scripts, browser refreshing, and playing other people's account is NOT permitted under any circumstances. If found doing this, all accounts in question will be reset and deleted from the game and accounts will be frozen.
• 2.6 - If more than one account is found on your IP, and it is family or friends or college roommates, we understand you more than likely joined together in order to play together. However, if it appears that an advantage is being had, then a separation of accounts may occur, (i.e. alliances, markets, and other situations will be a solo venture).

• 3.1 - Profiles are to be kept clean. Please no profanity, racist or sexist remarks, or comments about other members in the Antrophia community made to cause harm. Masking words with asterisks, other characters, and other spellings to hide the word with meaning intact is still that same as using the words. You will be given only one warning to remove the profile in question. Should you choose not to remove it, your account will become frozen for a minimum 24 hour period (dependant on how many and severity of the offenses) and the profile in question will be removed for you when time is available to do so. **NOTE** While a warning will not lead to immediate freeze, multiple warnings, however, will. If you must be warned five(5) times in a single game, your account will be frozen.
• 3.1.2 - Should you repeatedly abuse the profile system by breaking these rules, your account will be reset in all games and you will be frozen for a minimum of a week period (dependant on how many and severity of the offenses). If after that week period, you continue to abuse the profile rules, your account will become frozen the remainder of the current games, and quite possibly for future games as well.

• 4.1 - Abusing bugs and errors within the Antrophia program is NOT permitted. This includes any loopholes you find which, if exploited, affect the continued integrity of the game. If you have discovered a bug/error/loophole, we ask you to file a bug report in the Antrophia Bugs/Problems forum to alert staff.
• 4.1.2 - If the Antrophia staff feels you are exploiting a bug, you will receive an ingame message as well as an email to the email you signed up with. If the email is not responded to within 48 hours then your account will be deleted from the game a frozen.
• 4.2 - Spreading information about players, which is not obtainable by spies, to players outside your alliance is NOT permitted, as well as the distribution of battle results, since this can give insight into the troop stacking of Antrophia members.

• 5.1 - An alliance can contain a set amount of players, depending on the game-type you are in.
  If more than the set amount of players wish to join an alliance, the alliance leader may create ONE, and only one, sub-alliance, a "boot-camp". Sub-alliances are only permitted for recruiting new members, and can contain a maximum of 25% of the main alliance's power. If the boot-camp alliance grows over the 25% power mark for three consecutive days, both alliances will be disbanded.
• 5.2 - A sub-alliance is any alliance created under the banner of another, and being led by another alliance. Creating sub-alliances for any reason other than recruitment as outlined above, or creating more than one recruitment sub-alliance is illegal. Those alliances, including the parent alliance, will be disbanded.
• 5.3 - Please choose an appropriate alliance name. Names which are very similar cause problems with peace/war/LRC targetting, and it is in your best interest to create an alliance with as unique a name as you can. Offensive alliance names are NOT tolerated, and your alliance will be disbanded.
• 5.4 - Although we encourage team work to defeat your opponents, it is against the rules to break up your alliance to make "boot camps" or sub-alliances for the sole purpose of taking down an enemy. This practice is not acceptable and will lead to the resetting of your Antrophia account. There will be no discussion about this if you are found to use this practice.
• 5.5 - An alliance is not allowed to perform activities in exchange for anything. This includes but is not limited to declaring war on an alliance, building a Long Range Cannon, and hunting down players.

• 6.1 - This game is provided to you free of charge, so to cover running costs we charge advertisers to promote their product on our site.
• 6.2 - Advertising on this game will not only get you reset and deleted, but will also warrant a freeze or permanent ban from the game.

• 7.1 - There is an online help available by clicking the "Signal for Assistance" link. If these pages do not answer your problem, there are several member-created help-pages and manuals available; some URL's are posted on the forums. The forums are located at forums

• 8.1 Antrophia reserves the right to remove/delete/reset/suspend any account, without notice, if we have reasonable suspicion that you may be in breach of any of these rules. This includes deliberate attempts to circumvent these rules in any way.
• 8.2 - Antrophia reserves the right to add/remove/modify any of these rules at any time, without prior notice to its members.
• 8.3 - Antrophia regularly runs multi-sweeps during a round, and deletes accounts where there is reasonable evidence they are multi's. Occassionally an innocent player is caught up in those sweeps. We apologise for the inconvenience caused if this does happen to you, but will not reset, or reinstate any account so affected.

• If you are unsure of any of the rules outlined here, please clarify them with Antrophia staff before engaging in any activity which may be considered illegal or unfair play
  

  Those who attempt to disrupt the integrity of the game, may be frozen at the discretion of Antrophia staff members, should this happen it will be completely up to the in-game staff to decide if you will be unfrozen in the future. If you believe this is the reason you have been frozen, you can email the moderator who froze you or booferbill@antrophia.com should you not know why you were frozen you can also send an email to the above and you will be given a responce, if no responce is given you can assume that you have been frozen for the reason above, therefore do not disrupt game integrity in any possible way, keep it a fun and safe environment for all players involved with the game, thanks!

  What is an IP?

  Each computer on the Internet has at least one IP (Internet Protocol) address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet at any one time. Computers use IP addresses to locate and talk to each other on the Internet, much the same way people use phone numbers to locate and talk to one another on the telephone. You IP address is assigned for you when you connect to your ISP, and may be constant (static) or may change each time you connect (dynamic).

  If you wish to find out more about IP addresses, http://www.whatis.com is a great search resource, and can also give you a more thorough definition of static and dynamic addresses.
