Rules and Policies

It is well-understood that any rules listed are not exhaustive. They are a general outline to what actions and/or behaviors are prohibited.

BattleMaster Rules

Tom has a rough rule that says "everyone is entitled to one warning". That means two things: One, very rarely is a harsh punishment dealt for first abusers. Two, the second offense will be treated without mercy. It's worked fairly well over the years.

  • Social Contract - The main basis of the rules that all players must agree to.
    • One account only.
    • Play fairly, as with friends
    • Always give newcomers the benefit of the doubt.
    • Keep other peoples' personal information personal.
    • Do not publicly accuse anyone of cheating, abuses or violations of this contract without proof or evidence.
  • Tom's Position on Names
  • Tom's Position on Banning - Having another character in an enemy realm alone should never alone be enough for a ban
  • Don't use your clan to ruin other peoples' fun.
  • If you find what you think is a bug, report it. Those found exploiting bugs will have little to no mercy.
  • Try to resolve issues with other players before reporting them to the Titans.

For emphasis, do not publicly accuse anyone of cheating, abuses or violations of this contract without proof or evidence. Try to resolve issues with other players before reporting them to the Titans.

Other Policies

  • Name Rules - Rules regarding character and family names and links to find a name
    • Generally, use an actual name that a person might have and don't copy historical names.
  • Style Guide - General style of editing to be followed within the wiki

Discussion List

  • No top posting, post your replies beneath the quoted text.
  • Only quote text which is relevant for your reply.
  • If you are sure something is a bug, post it on the bugtracker. If you're not certain post to the discussion list and ask if it is a bug.
