It's another beautiful week here in the Clockwork Town: protests are being filed and reviewed, new cards are being drawn and coloured, and Steam announcements are being composed and upvoted (thanks, by the way!).
Earlier, we showed you the first of the two new cards that are coming to Gremlins, Inc. with the :sunnyemo: Summer Season :sunnyemo: update, and today we'd like to show you the other one. But before that, a brief note about Fair Play Rules and our approach to moderation.
The Fair Play Rules are available on this forum in English, Russian and Chinese since we introduced anonymous ranked sessions, and as of now, we have banned a total of :malice: 0.17% of players for being in breach of them. Our principle is to investigate every protest filed so that we can guarantee an even playing field to every player, whether newly joined or veteran. When we discover occasional unfair play, we ban players for 30 days from joining ranked sessions.
Sometimes unfair play comes in the form of teaming up against others in a session that should have remained anonymous, and sometimes it comes in the form of inconveniencing other players by deliberately stretching time limits. Regardless of the situation, we look at one thing first and foremost: whether a player, or two players, explicitly set out to use unfair methods of taking advantage over others. And if the answer is yes, then it's a ban.
Our vision of Gremlins, Inc. is to see it as a board game with a competitive angle that allows players to be aggressive in the game, if so they wish – but also to strictly limit that sort of behaviour to the allowed game mechanics only. We expect everyone to be mature enough to be respectful of each other, so that players from any country in the world, including our current international community that is coming from Japan, Russia, China, France, Ukraine and other regions can remain as friendly as it has been over the last couple of years. We hope that you agree!
