PE-SB-Announce [Moderator]: No "Diplomatic" Region Renames
Date:Sun, 29 Feb 2004 22:33:54 +0000

Announcement from the Moderator to All Leaders:

Some players have expressed concern that Beneficial and Schwarzenegger
are working together too closely.  It appears Benefical has been
renaming regions using Schwarzenegger's naming scheme, to indicate
that they should be "taken over", and that Beneficial is also giving
away many units.  Giving away units is perfectly legal (several
players have transferred units so far, it seems).  However, renaming
regions in such a way as to convey a message to another player is not
allowed.  

Beneficial is required to stop the practice of renaming regions in the
style of another player.  Any further actions of this sort will be
penalized -- Beneficial and Schwarzenegger, if you've already
submitted moves and need to re-do, just let me know.

From earlier announcements:

May 19, 2003:
> (3) Some Leaders in the Silent Bloodshed World have inquired
whether

> For example, a border region might be renamed "Seeking Peace".
> This goes against the no-verbal-communication nature of the world,
> and is not allowed.  (The transfer and assault options in unit
> movement will still provide some ability to signal your intentions
> to your neighbors!)

> Silent Bloodshed is a no-diplomacy game and there should be no 
> communication between players.
