- * The Rules of Engagement *
- * A Warrior's Guidelines To Combat Arena Protocol *
-
- A Warrior may issue a blood-match challenge - a battle to the death -
- to any other resident Warrior. This is a serious action! The winner may opt
- to slay, maim, or spare the loser. Death is final: the loser will be
- deleted for the rolls of Warriors! A blood-match challenge is resolved in
- the following two ways.
- If the challenging Warrior is ranked higher than the challenged
- Warrior (a decision which is based on a comparison of Fame, Commendations,
- Skill Levels, and Wins), then the challenged Warrior has the option of
- declining. If he accepts, then the combat will take place the very next
- time that the challenged Warrior goes into the arena.
- If the challenging Warrior is ranked lower than the challenged
- Warrior, than the challenged Warrior cannot decline the challenge except at
- the risk of suffering ignominious shame and being stripped of all weapons
- and protective equipment. If the challenge is accepted, then combat will
- take place as soon as the challenged Warrior logs on and goes into the
- arena.
- The challenged Warrior will be given the option to accept or
- decline the challenge when he attempts to enter the arena for combat.
-
- Normal combats are resolved immediately (while on-line). The results
- are determined by the skills, training, and equipment of the opponents.
-
- The top three Warriors of each system can journey (if the Local Guild
- has become a Registered Member of the Organization of Guilds) to distant
- guilds, in an attempt to win additional fame and fortune, and possibly to
- become the best in the nation.
