Raiding and Attack Policies

Acts of espionage and raiding are acts of war and we will retaliate accordingly. All of our members are just as valuable as the next, we will defend each and every one of them.

Each member of [DIGG] is free to raid, spy, and colonize as he or she pleases at their own risk, with a few caveats:

1. No member of [DIGG] may perform such acts on any member of a top-10 alliance.
2. All members of [DIGG] are responsible for their own actions.
3. Members of [DIGG] may recruit friends to help them out in independent operations, but [DIGG] will not endorse these independent operations.
