Like I said, you cannot police information. you can however as a sysop set up a script to save corp assets daily, and if any are exchanged, then you can enforce the rule I stated above. Silence, could you possibly give me some direction on this "script" you made mention of? Perhaps I could integrate this with our ScoreKeeper to help enforce the rule.
Thanks for your time and effort. I appreciate it.

honestly thrawn, you need a tedit script? I am not the one to ask. I dont own a twgs, so I have never had the need to own, or write a script like that.
Ask around, I am sure there are plenty of people who may have seen one, or could write you one.

you gotta be careful about who you think is mega corping though.
I remember one game, a player got a limp, and didn't clear it, so I watched where he went.
While reading the daily logs, I saw they were invading another corp.
So I waited, and when the defending corp threw them back, i dove in and finished the job cleanly, and cheaply.
Now, obviously, I was accused of mega corping, but was I? No. (And had the first corp succeeded in the attack, I still would have followed in and taken them out instead)

It's true, a script like I mentioned would in no way be 100% foolproof... but if 600k figs disappear off of c1, while c2 invades c3, its pretty Darn obvious.
The script should in no way overrule any sysop's judgement, it should just help you not have to write stuff down nightly, to try and help that judgement understand the bigger picture.

There is an old adage I wish not to say here, though I am sure you have heard it before.
No apologies neccessary.

IMHO, I did not list it, therefore it's up to the players to justify their actions. I do not have time to referee a game to determine if a rule is bent. My ScoreKeeper looks after other avenues for me. I'll let you in on a little secret I've found out about sysoping. The more rules you have, the more arguements you have and the more you work your butt off trying to settle disputes. That's the main reason truce games are a pain in the butt. Don't let me keep you from making rules on your server, but I'd think very hard about each one.

Thrawn, I wouldn't bother making a rule on megacorping.
What he was talking about wasn't megacorping, and even if it was, that's just tough cookies. BigD is right- the more rules you have the more whining.

Other than that the rules explain more the role of the ScoreKeeper, types of games, the banging schedule. I felt keeping it simple made it easier for me.

Actually I prefer the take of another more experienced player: Every tactic has a counter. And it was my fault for not choosing the counter for this and losing, not their fault for using the tactic and beating me.
