I think that only mods should play this game. You ruin it when you enter GB now you finished with it. So long.

Blacksmith said:Personally I think its a poor attempt at getting around the system. I have talked to others in my position and we will soon rule this out in the next little bit. There will also probably be coding changes to dissallow this and penalties tantamount to the same as creating multi accounts to push your own great buildings.
Many of us are now going through our "Friends" lists, and deleting those whom we don't really know, just in case they are a "pusher."
We have no way of knowing if someone is doing this, so it now comes down to the developers setting something up so that we can set our GB donations to Guild Only, like in the trading.
Well, if it looks like it's being pushed, stop donating to it. I'm wondering if you reported it, would you get back your fp...Just a short question:
I am only active in one world so I am not affected by most of the things mentioned in this thread.
BUT what would happen if I donated FP towards a GB of a 'pushed' account - I simply don't have a chance to figure out if an account has been pushed.
Now you would go ahead and remove this peticular GB I donated towards - so what would happen to my donated FP?
I know - small chance - but still possible

Just to be sure I'm doing this right: If I see "someone" is donating to another GB (an EMA GB), and that "someone" is in the BA, can I report him for pushing?

ThanksContact support. I keep a list of the fp in buildings and who donated what in gb I deleted that had more than 50 fp in the current level it was on.
LIVESTREAM please :pThough those that try to claim fp that doesnt match my notes will be spanked and sat on most horribly.
Hamburg, November 7, 2012. German browser game developer, InnoGames, is wrapping up 2012 as its most successful year ever. “In a few days, we will welcome the 100 millionth-player into our games,” confirms InnoGames Founder and Managing Director Hendrik Klindworth. Part of this success is attributed to the launch of Forge of Empires, which has become one of history’s most successful starts of a browser title. Just six months after the game launch, Forge of Empires already boasts five million players worldwide.
On the tails of this success, the developer and publisher has set ambitious goals for 2013. “We plan on launching three more successful games into the market next year, while also bringing Forge of Empires to mobile, and conferring a bigger market share to Grepolis and Tribal Wars,” Klindworth explains. Currently, InnoGames employs over 200 international professionals, and expects to grow the family. “Our goal is to reach 280 permanent employees in 2013, especially adding those working to further our cross-platform emphasis,” remarks Klindworth on the sustainable growth rate of the company.
Armin Busen, Chief Financial Officer at InnoGames, adds: “Forge of Empires has already exceeded our high expectations, but in addition, three-year-old Grepolis has had its best year yet. Our growth has continued to be stable, and in the last two years, we have increased our revenue by 50%.” The company had been profitable in every single month, Busen mentions. InnoGames’ 2012 turnover is expected to reach 50 million EUR.
With 100 million registered players, InnoGames is one of the world's leading developers and providers of online games. The Hamburg-based company has scored major successes with games such as Tribal Wars, The West and Grepolis.
Hello. I recieved a following msg today:
I'm stuck on my tech tree on E, waiting for goods to become available. Do you want to friend me so I can donate (one way only, nothing expected in return) or do you have a guildmate who who like to friend me to get my FP? They are just going to waist otherwise.
Cheers

Can I accept this kind of friend request or would this be considered breach of rules/push account? Sorry for extra trouble my msging, I am just somewhat confused by the new rules and want to be careful.
I have another question. I have a town in en4 built to be decorative for the time being. Screenshot:
I have about half a dozen friends from that world I used to be guildmates with. Would this be considered pushing if I am helping them out with their GBs and adding up my BP collection? I have been seriously considering advancing that town in future, but haven't had the heart to tear down those churches yet, so I have been just trying to build up my GB sets while supporting the people I know instead of randoms. None of those players are my friends in other worlds as far as I am aware of.
Thanks, hint
So WTG and congratulations Blacksmith, you are doing a superb job and deserve our thanks ! All I can add now is what and when is phase 2 ?
If people starts doing it threeway, like A gives forge point to B crossworld, B gives forge point to C crossworld and C gives forge point to A cross world, are you even gonna be able to catch them? Are you on the lookout for it? Seems like it would be much harder to be 100% sure they are trading FP.
Especially if you try to be sneaky and use a "spouses" account or a multi account on another world to get around this rule, you will be found out and penalized. The more sneaky players try to be the more serious the penalty put forth.
Anyways on the Issue itself. Majority of the confusion, panic and frustration was actually caused due to disagreements and conflicting rule translations among the staff members. And I aint mean couple of player-moderators who could have misunderstood a few lines, but actually the different current views and rule translation between Blacksmith and the other Co-community manager Archangel Snail and the everchanging rule translations both seemed to doing. I was in contact with Archangel Snail 2 days ago via support msges asking about 2 different scenarios within a time span of about 12h.
The answer I got from Archangel Snail was that it would be considered pushing. Now when I read Blacksmiths posts in this thread, I get the impression that in fact I could have accepted his friendship. So which co-comminity manager is right? Who outranks who? What would be the latest current official stance to a msg like that?
My 2nd problem is/was the following:
The reply I got from AAS was that it could cause me problems if all I did was donate FPs(I don't know if I'd be allowed to actually quote exact personal replies I get in support to public, so just in case I'm not quoting the replies, but only my posts). Now againt I get a different vibe from Blacksmith posts.
One of the said players in en4 actually sent me a panic msg yesterday yelling me to "stop donating any FPs, i know u mean good but u will get my GBs delited!!!!". Should he or me need to be worried here then or not?
