g) Full accounts that have been idle for more than three months are subject for immediate deletion.
h) You may not exploit bugs (if you find a problem or a discrepancy in the game that you believe is not supposed to happen, e-mail the developer with a full description of the problem or discrepancy at bugs@thekingofspades.com , taking advantage of the bug and exploiting it will result in a temporary banning)
i) When you play, you are required to LOGOFF in order to properly notify the game database that you are not online anymore.

If you are a player and were witness to the breaking of any of the above rules and where a GameMaster was not present to witness, please e-mail your GameMaster and describe the situation to them where they will investigate promptly.
