These include but are not limited to boosting progress through illegitimate methods or utilizing quirks/bugs of key input for automated mining (e.g F11 mining). Auto-clicking is permissible as long as you are not AFK, which we define as failing to complete a captcha challenge within the allotted time (1 minute).

You may use up to **one** alternate account per IP address on Mcyay Gaming. If we detect that you have more than two accounts on your recent IP history (we define recent as within 30 days), you will be punished according to this rule. We will consider cases using a shared IP address (such as a VPN or public wireless access point) on a case-by-case basis because it is an exceptionally low probability that you and another distinct Mcyay Gaming user will have a shared IP.

An individual account cannot be shared between multiple users. We define account sharing as one individual account logging in from more than 3 IP addresses in the last 30 days. We will consider cases using a shared IP address (such as a VPN or public wireless access point) on a case-by-case basis because it is an exceptionally low probability that you and another distinct Mcyay Gaming user will have a shared IP.

Keybinds may not be used for completing chat events.

Opening a fraudulent payment dispute against any Mcyay Gaming transaction.

Failing to follow through on an agreed-upon immediate transaction consisting of at least 7,500 Gold as one part of the deal.

Any player-to-player transaction which involves real money or anything outside of the Mcyay Gaming network. Management reserves the right to permanently tradeban anyone for attempts, offers, or suggestions to IRL trade regardless of whether a deal actually went through.

Any attempt to withhold or obscure information about a transaction. This includes but is not limited to: using alts to hide the true owner of a transaction, using alts to hide the true value of a transaction, and using alts to hide the true nature of a transaction.

Any market activity which is deemed suspicious by the Mcyay Gaming management team. This includes but is not limited to: market manipulation, price fixing, and market scams.

Any attempt to swap a trade after it has been agreed upon in the /trade menu, such as swapping items right before the other player clicks confirm, causing the target of the scam to unintentionally agree to a trade containing items different to those they initially reviewed

Talking/agreeing on an immediate transaction involving combined value less than 7,500 Credits and not following through with the trade.

Use of additional islands or gangs for competitive purposes is subject to a penalty according to the penalty rules. Team boosting happens when members of one gang contribute resources to another gang outside of regular economy transactions, such as giving orbs/beacons to another team, selling orbs/beacons at a value much lower than fair market value (such as giving one trillion beacons for 1 orb), or otherwise giving a competitive advantage to another team in a way that is considered by management to be boosting.

When you join the server you start with 5 free invites. at the start of each week you get 2 more free invites. after you have used all your free invites a 1.5% season-long penalty is added for each additional invite. Any penalty applies retroactively to the week's deposits. An invite only counts if it is accepted by the invitee and turns into a team join.

Any valuable items (such as spawners or smart chests) must receive Admin approval if you wish to bring them to a new island. Violations of this rule are subject to the penalty rule without a verbal warning first.

If at least two punishments for Alt Boosting or Account Sharing (combined) are issued within a single season, this punishment will be issued. For example, 2 alt boosting violations and 1 account sharing violation among a gang would mean a 30% penalty. Another example: 1 alt boosting and 1 account sharing violation would mean a 10% penalty. Another example: 2 account sharing violations would mean a 10% penalty.

Each violation of a cheating rule is subject to the user's entire gang/island being penalized for a week depending on how many prior offenses there have been during the map. Additionally, ALL contributions of Beacons or Gems from users who cheated are subject to being removed from the final leaderboard calculation. A team's first offense of a rule subject to a penalty may be a verbal warning for cheating bans only.

Opening a fraudulent payment dispute against any Mcyay Gaming transaction.

Use of automated accounts, such as console clients or botnets.
