Here is the games stance on NO CLONING.
# Jobbery (profiteering) in game are considered to be operations of any kind, bound up with ungrounded or illegal gaining of cash funds, material or non-material assets, securities or other values, taken by players, companies or particular enterprises, caused by errors in game resources operation, by collusion or by certain actions of affiliated persons (including game characters, controlled by one player (clones)) that could be defined as collusion, as well as other actions, going against general game maxims, with the purpose of unjustified enrichment or other profit (including illegally obtained payment capabilities).
8.1. It is prohibited by the competition rules, expressly or by implication, encouraging players to create clones. All the competitions must be directed toward basic accounts. It is strongly prohibited to pass over the companies of competitors to the competition’s organizers or affiliated persons.
6.2. The companies are prohibited to sell assets at the price less than 70% of assets assessed value, at the price higher than 300% of assessed subdivision value, as well as at the price higher than 50% of total value of company’s assets;
People are breaking this rule as well:
6.1. During the first week after registration (up to the end of 8th update game situation) the companies are prohibited to sell subdivisions;
The responsibility for jobbery is to be imposed on a player, who had carried out all these illegal actions or had provoked by his actions the situation, which encouraged other players for illegal activity, or who is an accomplice or a benefit getter as result of illegal activity, in the presence of obvious intent and on condition that he had an opportunity to avoid or to resist this illegal activity.
# The list of prohibited operations include:
2.1. Any kind of game points resale. (there are people spamming the servers with offers to buy or sell points)
2.2. Operations with any assets and cash resources, obtained as result of new players registration, in form of gratuitous transfer or non-equal exchange, including making bargains at prices or on conditions, which are knowingly non-market, with the purpose of transfer of cash resources or other values, gained by other players as result of registration.
Some players (including Deira a high ranked player) have misled others on forums claiming that Cloning is acceptable or even that admins have said so. This is FALSE AND WRONG CLONING is 100% not-acceptable, let along immoral and wrong, stealing from Virto as well.
"No man who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no man who utters lies shall continue in my presence."
Psalm 101.7
Do I consider liars, cheaters, thieves who clone to steal virtos from other players or from virto the company to be scum of the earth? Personally to be honest yes I do.
also remember another admin post about merging clones around dec 2009/jan 2010 or thereabouts.
forgetting clones for the moment - what about all the funds and partnerships, alliances that's been set up where some supplies/raw materials and machines, etc are sold for less than market price, with the purpose of helping other companies?
companies helping each other and newer players are helping the virto community grow, and the newer ones to stay in the game. but that can be interpreted as "jobbery" from the above rules. as there is a virtual gain for at least one of the companies.
real $ is not the only way to get points. there are the sponsor ads, even if they don't seem to work too well for me personally. 100 friends is another way, but the 'friend' spending points then help the player who introduced the friend. if i introduced a friend to the game, would it not be reasonable for me to help the friend at least in the beginning to get started? is that jobbery as well?
Yes ccm_tsang there was a posting about clones saying NO CLONES ALLOWED.
also what you just said seems to suggest that the admins are in favor of clones, WHICH THEY ARE NOT.
what you referred to there in that link says this about clones:
II. About clones
In the new conditions it won’t be that profitable to use clones. These are the basic reasons:
1. As result of fine cancellation (see item 1), there won’t be any need to create a clone for every branch;
2. The “Management” qualification will become more important, so the player will have to rise it for every clone, what is not as convenient as basic account development.
3. We suppose, that it will be more reasonable to invest time and power into one company. It means that one Manufacturer of 60th level will be better than two Manufacturers of 30th level.
This is a clear discouragement by the admin Diska in regards to using clones. It tells those who want to use clones that it will be better not to for those reasons. This is to discourage players from using them in the first place, as the admins know that some players will never abide by rules, fairness, integrity etc. They have obviously changed the system to discourage the use of clones.
NO CLONES ALLOWED. Read the game rules please "Game rules" > "Laws"
There are several clones in the current Management, Director, and Presidents contests, all set up to STEAL the Virts from legitimate fair players just coming in. This is wrong, just wrong. These people need to be banned, this is unscrupulous pathetic scamming. Let the new players have their Virts, get your damn clones out of the contests you already had your shot, and stop stealing from other people!!!
Your saying people are cheating in the contest. What about the contest of directors which your in with one of my companies ?

LOLZ!!! YOU are revealing YOURSELF here casper. "With One of my companies" you say. LOLZ I dont know what you are talking about you FRAUD, but it is YOU who is the cheater/cloner here. You even parade it all over the forums. I dont use clones and never have. Buying points to increase your qualification is not against the rules at all, and I have only spent a mere $25. Spend $25 like you are supposed to do and stop cheating Virto out of money, close down your clones, get your clones out of the Directors contest, and stop Stealing Virts from the new players!!
Told everybody i have a clones never lied about it, it's is only for different reason you keep telling everybody so please stop blacklisting me and telling things about me which you made up yourself without ny other knowledge
copy pasting the post i made in the other thread...
i think it's time for this discussion to stop:
- Honorchamp doesn't like clones... we must all accept his opinion since everyone is free to have one.
- Many people don't like Honorcham's way of writting... so Honorchamp, now you must accept everyone's opinion and write another way (without flaming everyone and the game, in a less aggressive manner, even if it's not your intention... we are what we show the world).

To be fair, honor only spent a dozen or two bucks. Mostly from sign-ups. If you want to you can do that too. But he also made a HUGE effort to research the market and manage the company. He deserves to be where he is now, under the strictest term possible.
But man, your group is a LOT easier than my group, which has 2, and soon 3 black belts already. And judging by their turnover and structure, some are likely not fairplaying like honor is. I would switch groups with you any day.
Khoi is using a clone too, he just transferred 32 billion into it this update, which pushed the clone to #1 in turnover on the server.
Number Company Name Founded President Assets Turnover
1 +384 0ct0ber9th
Company 19 May 08 october9th 39 429 889 701.98$ 32 435 880 042.60$
if you look into the company you see Khoi's name all over it.
It seems all the "leaders" are using clones on this game.
For the record, I dont have a problem with clones as long as the rules say they are okay and they are officially legal and therefore part of the game. If Virto allows it and stands behind this then it is part of the game, nuff said, but if not its a very diff story.
I am assuming Diera uses clones as well since VLLord hintted at this, and his qual levels dont really match his turnover, but its an assumption as I havent looked into him yet.
Casper does, Ydaf does, Khoi does 100% lock stock and barrel.

he just shot up +537 places on one turn into the top 30. LOLZ. Obvious heavy cloning or funds transfer into a clone.
Madhu has a few companies I have seen in the past.
That makes 5 for certains out of the top 30, + possibly Chrisberlin 'I think' said he did but dont quote me on that one he might the the guy who doesnt and its someone else im not sure. and Diera as well.

Don't say he is cheating, i don't care if he does, that is his business not mine. He talks about that it isn't ethical, think buy yourself up in qualification isn't ethical. It is aloud but not ethical against the other players in the contest.
