<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">We're contacting you to let you know about a new feature we enabled yesterday evening.
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">As many of you know we have strict rules regarding the sending of commands and resources to those who share a connection with you whether it be a member of family or someone you are account sitting. If you're not familiar with the rules, now would be a great time to <a href="http://tribalwars.co.uk/rules.php" target="_blank">read through them.</a>
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">We split up commands into two types:
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 60px; margin-top: 0px;"><b>Interaction</b> - Sending attacks, support or resource transports to a player on the same connection.<br />
<b>Coordination</b> - Attacking, supporting or sending resources to the same player, from two or more players sharing a connection.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">The game has always been able to prevent players from illegally interacting in the majority of cases. However, the majority of offenses happen when two players send commands to the same target from the same connection, sometimes unknowingly. We've listened to the feedback we've received regarding this and are happy to announce that from now on the game will block the majority of illegal coordination.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">Coordination is blocked if someone that you have recently (last 24h)</p>
<ul style="font-size: 14px; margin-left: 50px;">
<li>shared a connection/computer with</li>
<li>sat for</li>
<li>been sat by</li>
<li>declared Shared Internet Connection with</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">has attacked, supported or sent resources to the same target within the last 24 hours.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">When this block happens, you will be shown a red message explaining why, and showing the name of the player that has already attacked your target. Unfortunately due to a technical issue this message is currently showing in German. Please do not report this, we are working on it. The message simply informs you that you cannot attack this player due to our rules.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">Sadly, the new protection cannot prevent all illegal attacks. Timing is one of the most important parts of Tribal Wars so the checks we run every time you send a command cannot be too complex. This means that <b>it is still the player's responsibility to make sure they are up to date with the rules and to make sure they are not sending an illegal attack.</b></p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">The main goal of this new protection has been to prevent players from accidentally breaking our rules and getting punished for it. It's not perfect, but we're happy the end result will make the game fairer for everyone.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0px;">If you have any thoughts or questions, please post in the discussion thread <a href="http://forum.tribalwars.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11906" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br />
