Short form of "Diplo code of honor", which is not the law but recommendations for avoiding conflicts out-of-character and in-character:
Avoid sneak attacks (unless you have a RP reson)
Try to stay in character (behave in-game as you think your ruler would, no out of character grudges or similar)
Avoid destruction of wonders (unless you really want to)
Avoid excessive conquering (except if you want to make an empire (should have RP reson), but peace negotiations should be sought)
Try not to start a caveman war
Behave Civil towards other players

More definite rules:
No annihilation of players
Do not use savegames for cheating (i.e. checking other civs or playing in single player to see what happens)
Don't edit your story posts (If you say that you are an ally, then you are, can't change history only the future )

Restart conditions:
Turn 1 if there is agreement
Breaking Diplo code of Honor early in the game

Everyone should be allowed to eat a fresh banana upon onset of the game!

[The Capo]

Ugh... good job on the rules....

[LzPrst]

I like'm. Especially the definite rules
the other rules are of course mostly optional, but that is more or less the idea. guidelines that can be freely broken, but a (very) good rp ic reason should be presented to give such actions credibility.

Now over to me joining HoTW7. I am assuming that HOTW6/HOT1 is dead in the water and wont be resumed by us anytime soon? 2 games is kinda much, but I can manage. No more. no way. hotw5 I'm not leaving until they scrape my dead corpse from my throne, but hotw6 seems down and out at the moment.

Provided that is the case I could join hotw7, however, it must be mentioned that I am going on vacation on the 12th of june and may be gone several weeks, I havent decided yet for how long. Where I'm going I wont have internet access. the only possibility is internet cafe's and I'm not sure how that would work considering that we play late (in my timezone) and cafe's close...

its not the end of the world if I dont join this one, but I'd like to. unfortunately circumstances may prevent it.

[OmnipotentTrout]

Can everyone post their Away From Keyboard time this summer?

OmnipotentTrout will be AFK about July 17th-27th

(Yes, he likes to speak of himself in third person)

[Metaliturtle]

if games are on sunday I should be alright

[Sabrdrak]

Count me in.

I would also like to confirm whether or not we'll be starting from a fresh 4000 BC start and what speed setting the game will be played upon. (Epic has my vote.)

[Toni]

So what size map are we going to play on guys?

[Thrar]

If we're just 5 players I suggest a small map. I'd prefer standard speed, for me epic feels quite slow at times, and in multiplayer we'll feel that even more I think.

I'll be afk from 31.7 to 11.8., not sure if I'll still be able to make it on the 30th.

[OzzyKP]

Slow is good though.

HOTW V is on Marathon and I think its perfect. Diplogames aren't supposed to be finished in an afternoon. THe longer they stretch the more epic and interesting they become.

[deity]

Damn, that's 4 am Monday morning here

Can't you play earlier, like 10/11 am UTC?

Then I can join you!

[deity]

And I don't have ANY holiday breaks - will confirm EVERY week if you bring the time forward...

[Toni]

As i said time isn't an issue for me, so hope the others can make your time deity. It will be nice to have u on board.
