CP Rewritten Rule Breakages

Last week we deducted a single point to those armies that broke the CP Rewritten rules regarding server population. Due to issues and concerns over the monitoring of these rule breakages, and taking into consideration that a leeway exists in regards to 2-bar servers, the Shamrock Bulletin will be revising the deduction rules. If an army logs onto a 2 bar server, they will be publicly called out but not deducted. However, armies logging onto 3 bar servers (in which there can be no dispute over the evidence), will be issued a one point deduction.

1. The Doritos logged onto the 2-bar server Ascent on May 10th at 5pm EST.

3. The Help Force logged onto the 2-bar server Zipline on May 15th, at 2pm EST. The Silver Empire also logged onto the 2-bar server Zipline on May 15th at 2pm EST.

4. The Water Vikings and Silver Empire logged onto the 3-bar server Zipline for their battle, on May 15th at 6pm EST.

The Silver Empire and Water Vikings have been deducted 1 point each.
