Piracy and pushing

    Hi Everyone,

    I would like to ask the admins of the game if the rule of pushing applies to piracy.

    As a new player in piracy, three of my allies, with 5 to 15 million points differences, are helping me with points. They are not interested in piracy, so they assist me by giving me points every 6 or 16 hours.

    These are three different players who don't share an IP, and we are not related to each other. Is this considered pushing because I have a higher score, and they are providing me points? If it's illegal, could you please explain? The only information I could find is an old post from Sambisa back in 2022 on Discord.


    Give me please a formal answer


    Thank you so much.

    Pushing - that's the rule. It is not allowed to gain an advantage at the expense of weaker players. A player is considered weaker if their total high score is lower than that of the accused.

    What you are describing is getting fed Capture Points. That doesn’t run afoul of Pushing because Capture Points can’t be used for anything other than for evaluation every 3 weeks(whereupon competition begins anew). Normally, feeders are smaller accounts who feed a bigger account points in exchange for a cut of the spoils. Haven’t really heard of a circumstance of a bigger account doing this but if they wanted a cut of the spoils, then you’d either have to get it approved by a GO(which is unlikely given it violates the Pushing rule in my book) or they’d have to trade for it(best bet is via Trade Post by buying your spoils).
