The rules of Black Empire

A mafia game doesn’t mean a game without rules. Here, plainly, is what Black Empire actually applies so that the game stays fair — for you as well as for the other players.

Human moderation 5 chapters 4-minute read

IAccounts and sign-up

One account is enough to play, and Black Empire deliberately limits the number of accounts created from a single internet connection, to prevent one player from skewing the game’s balance by piling up characters. Sign-up requires a genuinely strong password (uppercase, lowercase, digit and special character) and explicit acceptance of the terms of use and the privacy policy.

Requirement

A strong password: upper case, lower case, a digit and a special character.

Limit

The number of accounts created from the same internet connection is deliberately limited.

IISecurity and moderation

The system detects and explains; a staff member decides.

Anti-cheat

The game continuously watches for multi-account signals, suspicious sessions and economic anomalies. Each alert is reviewed by a staff member — the system detects and explains, it never sanctions on its own.

Progressive sanctions

A first warning stays simple. A second is reinforced. From the third, the sanction becomes automatic: a temporary ban and an immediate logout of all active sessions.

IIICombat rules

The Street is only accessible from a minimum level, and only between players of a comparable level present in the same city. It is impossible to attack a member of your own gang, or another account sharing your internet connection — two safeguards designed to prevent abuse rather than legitimate competition. Each combat attempt is followed by a recovery time before the next one.

Forbidden

Attacking a member of your own gang, or another account sharing the same internet connection as you.

IVVacation mode and the Dark Hollow zone

Vacation mode

Total, temporary protection (combat, deal and cartel suspended) for players who are away, with an early-return delay if you change your mind.

Dark Hollow

A restricted-access zone, reserved for sufficiently advanced players heavily loaded with goods — permanent residence there is impossible, and many game functions stay blocked for the duration of the stay.

VDeleting your account

Deletion is done from your account, with your password, and confirmed by e-mail. Once validated, a seven-day grace period opens: logging back in during this period automatically cancels the deletion. After that delay, the erasure is final and irreversible.

Grace period

Seven days: logging back in during that period automatically cancels the deletion. After that, the erasure is final and irreversible.
