Sharing any tribe information outside of your own alliance is not permitted. This includes all intel obtainable only with t/m operations ingame. (ie. any information found in visions, innersights, recons, intercepts etc.) Any info found on open pages does not fall under target sharing (i.e. any info found on the alliance page, any info found on the resource list)
For example, by definition: If you say to someone outside your alliance "I have incoming acres" you will be in violation (this cannot be seen without a recon) but saying "I had acres come in last hour" is acceptable (this can be seen on the alliance page).
5.2... Alliance Co-Op
Alliances are not permitted to work together under any circumstances.
Co-op (Cooperation):
To plan-contrive-scheme-and act with another alliance (or tribe outside of your own alliance) to take action(s) against a common target (tribe or alliance) together or synchronized where the sum of the actions are intended to be of a greater impact than one of the offensive parties would expect to do on its own.
5.3... NAPs & CFs
Non Attack Policies are not allowed. There may be a 24 hour 'cool down' period after a war is over. This does not apply to having been at an undeclared war, just traditional, declared war.

6.3... Multi Accounts

7.2... Cheat
If you want to cheat, play elsewhere. Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated.
8.1... Landfarming will be looked upon in the most stringent of ways. If you find you can not play your account, or wish to start over, delete your account. Anyone found guilty of farming their tribe out will be deleted upon detection.
8.1.1.. Landfarmers must be reported*. Any acres gained from a little or undefended tribe may be expropriated in the absence of a report.
Landfarming: Where the sole purpose of a tribe's existence is to provide acreage to another tribe(s) at little or no expense and/or effort to the tribe taking the land. Releasing defense rendering your tribe vulnerable to standard attacks from tribes outside a reasonable range than should be expected is indicative of landfarming.
*(report landfarming tribes to L&O in alliance #2 - select 'Report Cheating' in the Issue field)
8.2... Moneyfarming will be looked at in the same manner as landfarming. Do not create an account, or have an account created as a raid farm. Those found guilty of money farming will be subject to deletion.
