Fair Play & Anti-Cheating

The Gray Doom community unites competitive strategists from around the globe. While aggressive conquest, sector blockades, and psychological warfare are natural elements of persistent grand strategy, personal attacks outside the game rules destroy the competitive ecosystem.

• Mutual Respect & Sportsmanship: Treat fellow commanders, alliance members, and adversaries with respect. Win with honor, accept defeat with tactical resilience, and uphold sportsmanship across public chats and regional conduits.
• Zero Hate Speech or Discrimination: Any manifestation of racism, sexism, religious bigotry, national origin discrimination, sexual orientation insults, or disability slurs results in immediate account expulsion.
• Protection from Real-Life Harm: Threats of physical violence, cyberstalking, harassment across external platforms (Discord/Telegram), doxxing (publishing private personal names, addresses, or phone numbers), and swatting will be referred directly to law enforcement authorities.

Gray Doom deploys proprietary server-side heuristic auditors designed to detect artificial automation and macro scripts without relying on invasive client-side kernel drivers:

• Timing Variance & Entropy Auditing: Human commanders exhibit natural biological variance in their command dispatches. Robotic raid loops executing actions at exact fixed intervals (e.g. precisely every 60.000 seconds) produce near-zero entropy signatures and are automatically isolated.
• Pointer & Interaction Vector Analysis: Client browsers transmit interaction telemetry (e.g., mouse trajectory curvature, tap duration distributions) during high-frequency tasks such as farm raiding and market balancing. Robotic scripts injecting DOM events directly without cursor kinematics trigger immediate behavioral flags.
• Non-Intrusive Tactical Challenges: Suspicious activity triggers non-disruptive tactical verification challenges (e.g., sector coordinate confirmation) during low-stress intervals to verify human operator presence.

To defeat VPN rotation schemes and proxy farms, our infrastructure utilizes cryptographic hardware clustering algorithms:

• Canvas & WebGL Render Entropy: High-precision WebGL shader rendering metrics and audio context benchmarks generate a localized hardware rendering signature. Accounts sharing identical rendering profiles across multiple IP addresses are correlated and flagged for Multi-Hunter audit.
• Subnet & AS Routing Analysis: Synchronized mass account registrations originating from commercial data center ASNs or Tor exit nodes are automatically placed under quarantine until manually verified.

Grand strategy MMORTS economies can be corrupted when veteran commanders feed off disposable puppet accounts ("twinking"). Gray Doom prevents economic parasitism through mathematical caps:

• Dynamic Transfer Quotients: The server computes an account's maximum allowed daily inflow based on its current production and historical economic contribution. Unbalanced inflows exceeding 3 hours of local production are rejected by the transport hub.
• Plunder Leakage Limits: When attacking significantly smaller or allied settlements with zero defensive resistance, raid capacities scale down dynamically to eliminate the economic incentive for maintaining private farming farms.

Player reports are essential to maintaining shard integrity. We offer two dedicated reporting pathways:

• In-Game Context Report: Click the warning icon on any offensive message, inappropriate settlement profile, or suspicious combat report to dispatch a snapshot directly to the Multi-Hunter queue.
• Formal Support Ticket: For complex multi-account coordination or bot rings, submit a comprehensive dossier via the Support Ticket Portal including sector coordinates, timestamps, and behavioral logs.

Multi-Hunters adhere to an objective Sanction Matrix. Penalties are recorded cryptographically in administrative audit trails:

• Proportionality: Minor accidental infractions (e.g. delayed shared IP registration) receive warnings and resource resets rather than immediate bans.
• Severe Intentional Exploitation: Malicious bot networks and multi-accounting rings face immediate, non-negotiable permanent bans across all seasonal shards.
• Independent Review: Multi-Hunters are forbidden from arbitrating cases involving their own alliances or confederacies. Every capital ban requires secondary sign-off from a Senior Game Master.
