🥔 Terms of Service

Welcome to Potato Passer!

By playing Potato Passer, you agree to these terms. Don't worry, we've tried to make them as straightforward as possible - no legal potato peeling required!

These terms govern your use of the Potato Passer game, which operates as a Reddit-based application through Reddit's API.

What Potato Passer Is

Potato Passer is a community-driven game played entirely within Reddit. Players create, pass, and manage digital potatoes with various characteristics through Reddit comments and posts in designated subreddits, primarily r/PotatoPass.

The game is provided "as is" for entertainment purposes. We're here to facilitate potato-based fun, not to provide life-changing experiences (though we won't complain if passing potatoes changes your life).

Reddit Platform Requirements

Since Potato Passer operates on Reddit:

• You must have a valid Reddit account and follow Reddit's rules
• You must comply with Reddit's User Agreement
• You must follow the rules of r/PotatoPass and any other participating subreddits
• Your use of our game is subject to Reddit's API terms and limitations
• Reddit moderators and administrators have authority over content and user behavior

How to Play (The Rules)

Here's how the potato game works:

• Creating Potatoes: Use our bot commands to generate potatoes with random characteristics
• Passing Potatoes: Comment on posts to transfer potato ownership to other users
• Potato Behavior: Different potatoes have different rules - some explode, some rot, some have deadlines
• Scoring: Points are awarded based on successful passes, catches, and avoiding explosions
• Fair Play: No cheating, bot manipulation, or attempts to exploit game mechanics

Your Responsibilities

As a Potato Passer player, you agree to:
