explicit rules

A few rounds ago mq was closed for repeated out of tag escorts. She was helping viral. A good move by Multihunters.

There is a big majority in the game that regards escorts as valid strategy, if the escorting planets are in the same tag as the planet benefiting. Support planets were always a part in planetarion. Most of them play defense only planets. This is valid and allows them to be part of the community with less effort. It is also effort needed to convince people to escort you constantly. Limiting it to in-tag planets helps to double check if those planets are run by real persons. Only apprime and vgn have escort planets in their tags that are run by players (their hc) who also have their main account in the same tag. Escort or def planets in other alliances seem valid and are real player who only run one planet.

Sadly this rule is only implicit at the moment and not stated in the manual.

Please add the rule to the manual that repeated out of tag escorts are illegal and will lead to instant closure
