The Rules of War

his War is not over yet but as we had many that did not understand the rules new ones have been set. All players who choose to participate in the War need read and agree to these rules. Then contact one of the leaders and let them know you want your name added to the list of players. If you are not listed as a player in the war you will not be allowed to fight in the battles.


The Rules of War

We have held a war conference, and the leaders of the knights and every predator group except the bedouin, have come to these terms:

1. War will commence at 12:01 am SLT, Dec. 26. (00:01 SLT)

2. Those players who wish to participate in the war must sign up before war begins. Once you sign up, you agree to the following terms:

a. You will change the NAME in your tag to state: WAR to indicate that you are fighting the war. You can keep other text there, as well, but make sure the word WAR is at the beginning, easy to spot in the heat of battle.

b. Once captured, you will remain captured, or will change your tag to state: INJURED - OUT OF WAR. Once you are out of the war, you will not fight any of the battles. If a knight, you may continue to protect prey at that time, but may only attack the war enemies in that case. Please be very conscientious on this point, so there are no problems that the leaders have to step in to handle.

c. Except for the djinn, follow your group leader's by taking whatever side in the fight they determine. If you are slaver, fight with the Undead. If you are Magi, fight with the Knights. If you do not wish to take these sides, either wait the war out, or consider changing tags if you want to fight. The djinn may choose sides, but please indicate in your tag, which side you fight on. We are assuming the dungeoners will fight on the side of the knights.

According to kos rules, players do not need to participate in group activities, but MUST NOT interfere with them. If you are not fighting in the war for your own team, do not fight for the opposing team unless you change tags.

3. Each group will have a chain of command posted on the group blog. If the group leader is not online, decisions can be made by the second in command.

4. No fighting in the city. The citizens will not take part in this war. If your opponent runs to the city to eat, DO NOT FOLLOW HIM. Eating is okay. Fighting in the city, for the purposes of this war, is not.

This is a very important point, as fighting in the city causes confusion with the citizens which, while it might provide interesting RP, is not something we can easily deal with during this war. NO FIGHTING IN THE CITY for purposes of this war.

5. Report your wins to your group leader, so the numbers can be properly tabulated, when we determine the winning side.

6. Feel free to kill Jonathan Moriarty at any time, for his failure to choose a side for the bedouin. No safety for Switzerland.

7. Failure to adhere to the rules will result in penalties by one's own group, as determined by the group leaders. This might pretty much mean just getting the stuffing kicked out of you by your own group, which will be very unpleasant, so please please please play a good game and don't cheat!

The group leaders want a good game. And sure, we want to win, but we are not willing to cheat for a win. Do not cheat, and we'll have a better game.

8. The winning side will be determined by the group leaders, and we will also decide when the war is to be finished.

9. There will be prizes for the best players. Others may offer prizes as well, but I personally will award:

$1000 k for the one with the most enemy captures (yeah, yeah, Con, that will probably be yours...)

$1000 k for whoever captures Aizen and brings him to the tower so we can bring him back to life and save Ireem!

I am sorry, but I am a citizen and I already attempt not to sell to Slavers. I ask that anyone who comes to the bakery respect that when needing food. If someone is guarding the bakery, then food should not be taken by those not allowed to do so. If so, it is stealing.

((If necessary, I will take means to keep the food 'busy' so that *no one* can eat it when I am there in order to enforce this ruling. Do not cheat by standing behind a back wall, reaching *through* the wall, and clicking the food. There is no way that this can be done IC, so do not abuse it in your OOC panic for food to up your health. I am sure there are other business owners who feel the same way.))

As of now, the bakery does not sell to slavers. If slavers eat food there, then they are stealing it. This may soon expand to include the Undead, if the slavers are fighting on their side.

Citizens have the right to serve whomever they choose, if it is their business!

((OOC, I love all of y'all. Let the games begin!))

Also, Jonathan Moriarty may hide in my bakery _whenever he wants_! Hee hee.

Would you like to work for the bakery for a while, pretty Sheikh?

Con will eat all food! Con dont need permition! and Con can punch through a wall and take food anyway, or punch through Baker too ! ! GROAR! !

Yours truly. Con the Librarian

((If it was a RL Bakery and all the food was put up where you couldn't reach it or locked away, you wouldn't take any without permission unless you got the cops called on you. I don't see how it is any different in Ireem and it is becoming very frustrating to try to roleplay with people refusing to actually roleplay back.))

I have a request for clarification as well!

The rules state, "If (you are) a knight (and out of the war), you may continue to protect prey at that time, but may only attack the war enemies in that case"

1. Does this mean that knights can only attack those with WAR on their (tag) mind?

2. Does this same rule apply to Predators in reverse?

3. The vegetation on Bikku's Mound is getting rather out of hand, could someone trim it, please?

4. Does anyone else think that Lady Knight Mindy has a delicious sense of humor or is it just me?

The rules are fairly complex, but it is good to have some guidelines, even if their general applicability to citizens is dubious since no citizen leader or rep participated in the formulation of the rules. But we will of course abide by our basic citizen/merchant functions and limitations in providing goods and services, with reasonable ownership restrictions such as stated by Kadiara regarding trading with slavers.

I for one APPLAUD the rule of no fighting in the city. That also allows hungry, tired, stressed, injured combatants to be served/refreshed/healed at merchant shops without importing violence. And we can still interact fully without forming combat alliances with any group in violation with citizen limitations. Good rule!!

Stela Finesmith is also fighting for Magi, and told me before midnight SLT, but long after my bedtime and I forgot to add it here.

Bikku, I think knights are still protecting prey, whether the pred is fighting in the war or not
