Inalienable rights
General
Inalienable rights are the rights which every troop leaders has, simply because they are a noble. These rights can not be taken away; all troop leaders should protest out of office anyone foolish enough to violate one of these rights. An attack on one troop leader's rights is an attack on the rights of all nobles.
If one of your inalienable rights has been violated, you should report the matter to the titans.
These rights are OOC fun-preserving tools. They are meant to guarantee you, the player, can participate in the game properly. They are not meant to replace in-character discussions about what is proper or where the limits of a ruler are. On the contrary, internal politics including the setting of such limitations, is one of the most interesting parts of the game and these basic rights should in no way prevent these in-game discussions.
The Rights
The inalienable rights are:
- Choosing which type of unit to command
- Going to tournaments
- Voting, and choosing who to vote for
- Pausing your character(s) because you have a real life to attend to
- Choosing your class
Not Inalienable Rights
Some things are not inalienable rights, even though some people think they are, or wonder why they aren't. This list is, of course, incomplete. It lists those things most often asked about, and explains why:
- Protesting - there is a "silent protest" option precisely for the reason that you can use it to remain anonymous and/or avoid repercussions
- Duels - Like in real life, duels can be made illegal, and yet you can still fight them. That is the way it was most of history in the real world, and we find it more interesting to keep it that way in BattleMaster. It also means that in many realms your honour has to have been wronged severely before you consider a duel, because it is not only dangerous but also illegal.
