Excerpt from Rules of Conduct

1. As a mayor, you may not abuse zoning. Specifically, it is forbidden to use your position as mayor to arbitrarily zone and rezone areas of the map to derive an advantage for a player or to damage the interests of some players.
2. You may not abuse the game so as to entirely monopolize a particular business. While there are instances where a player may be the only one operating facilities in a particular business (auto dealerships, mines), overly aggressive tactics to drive or keep out competitors may be considered contrary to the spirit of the game and the rules of conduct.
3. You must comply with arbitration in contested issues. When two or more players or groups have conflicting positions regarding their businesses and their interactions, they are required to compromise. If an equitable compromise cannot be reached between the players prior to Starpeace Online Support's involvement, Support will mandate a binding compromise. Refusing to abide by a compromise mandated by Support will be considered a disruption. It is therefore strongly suggested that players make every attempt possible to reach a compromise that they can live with. Support should only be contacted as a last resort as the compromise they will mandate may not necessarily suit the parties to the extent that a player-devised solution would. Note: A "group" in this case is defined as a party of one or more characters that are united in a common belief or goal.
