Torn City Rules

Last Updated on Thursday, 25 June 2009 22:13

The following is a cut and paste version of Torn City's rules from the date of 30/7/06. We do not take any responsibility for your actions, misinterpretations or guarantee that these are correct/up to date. We advise that if you do not trust or have any doubts about what's on this page to check out the original rules on TC. To get to them go to Player Policies>Game Rules ("player policies" is located two links above the "logout" link). And please realise we are not torn city staff, we are merely players, just like you, who have created a fansite to help other, n00ber players.

Following is a list of violations of the game rules, and the resulting punishments. Some offenses may result in temporary suspension of posting privileges, or a jail term. Game staff reserve the right to interpret these laws in certain situations.

Flooding
Intentionally spamming or flooding of message boards will result in a 5 day jail term and/or a 5-30 day MB ban, depending on the severity.

Multiple accounts
Any player found to have more than one account will have the main account jailed and all other accounts deleted.

Slutting (Losing to someone for money)
Slutting is illegal in Torn City. If you are found with a slut, both you and the slut will be jailed.

Player harassment
The Internet is such an active environment that flame wars are bound to happen. It is therefore up to game staff to determine when a communication crosses the line into abusive. This is not to say that everyone must play nice, this is a Gangsta game after all. The harassment law only applies to continued and targeted harassment of a particular person, not the occasional insult. Public harassment of fellow players will result in a 10 day jail term, private harassment will result in a 7-30 day mail ban, depending on the severity.

Staff harassment
Any complaints against staff will be presented in a clear manner, free off any profanity or personal attacks. Slanderous/personal attacks/profane communications against staff members will not be tolerated, and will result in the offending comments removed, and a 10 day jail sentence for the offender.

Selling of accounts and game items
The selling of game accounts, currency or anything within the game for either real money or in another game currency is not permitted. Any player found doing so will get a 10 day jail sentence.

Scripts/Continual Connections
Any piece of software, without human interaction or regard to the content displayed is banned. In other words, every click sent to the game servers must come from a live person, not an automated system. Anyone found using such a system will be jailed for 60 days.

Account Sharing
Logging in to, or using another person's account will result in deletion of any/all of the offender's accounts. You cannot share an account or log into another person's account for ANY reason.

Game bug abuse
Depending on severity, game bug abuse will result in anywhere from a 30 day jail term to account deletion. Bugs, loopholes, security flaws, or any inconsistencies in the game should be immediately reported in the appropriate area.

Account Ownership
The account owner is responsible for their accounts actions at all times. This means that if anyone logs into your account such as a family member or your pet dog, you are held responsible. Keep your email and password secure.

Repeat offenders
Harsher punishments/deletions may occur for repeat offenders.

Loss of items due to hacking/scamming
Lost items will not be returned unless a game bug or glitch caused the loss. (Do NOT beg staff to return scammed goods, violation of this may result in a 5 day mail ban.)

Ripping/Faction Staff Selling
Unless the failure has been caused by a programming error, any loss of game currency, items or anything else caused by ripping or faction staff selling will not be returned.

Lost accounts due to Hacking
Accounts will be returned the their proper owner provided that the player can prove their identity. No game items or game currency will be returned however.

Player placed images
All player placed images should not be offensive to any part of society and should not violate any laws of the US. Any player having an offensive or illegal image will be either jailed or deleted depending on the severity.

Player-Staff interaction
Both Players and staff must act in a respectful manner. However there are times when a staff member is acting as a player and not an administrator. A staff member cannot use the excuse of they were acting as a player but they should be able to act as a player when there are no administrator duties to perform.

Staff obligations to players
Staff are obliged to respond to all questions and requests by players in a respectful manner.

Scamming
In Torn-City scamming is an illegal offence, offenders will find themselves with either a 30 day jail sentence, or immediate deletion. (Go ahead and scam and see which punishment you get)
Is legal.

Some obvious rules are not mentioned here. We will not accept the excuse (it was not in the rules page)
