The Swap
Rules of The Swap:
1) there will be a 24 hour ceasefire to start the game, during which time you must take any and all outposts nearest to you.
2) after this 24 hours, stage 1 will begin
3) before you are allowed to continue onto stage 2, you must fully swap your outposts
a) this means is that you must get rid of all of your starting outposts, and move into a totally new set of outposts. Once you have completed that, you may move on to stage 2
4) upon reaching stage 2, you are allowed to play as normal. That includes attacking players in stage 1 and 2
5) players in stage 1 are permitted to attack those in stage 2, however:
a) if while in stage 1, a player drops to 2 outposts, they must resign
b) oppositely, if they rise to 20 outposts (can be changed based on number of players) they must resign
(game will be played in domination mode, which is why rule 5b applies)
6) you are not permitted to do a straight swap with another player
a) this means you can not give all of your outposts in exchange for all of someone else's. You must take from at least 2 people
b) this leaves you the opportunity to be creative in a 3 way swap
7) you are allowed to eliminate anyone at anytime (other than during the 24 ceasefire)
8) ONLY stage 2 players are allowed to win. Referring to rule 5b, you can't have more than 20 outposts or you'll have to,resign, so even that will stop any stage 1 players from winning. But, to be more explicit, only 2s can win
