The Rules

Like any game, Battlemaster has a few rules to it, mostly to keep the community from killing each other.

How it works:

There is the Social contract, and Government Rules. The Social contract is a summary of all of rules players follow, detailing acceptable behavior for a good game play envierment. It is broken into a few parts, each of which are discussed at length below the summary of each concept. The Government rules are meant for those that take a Council position (Ruler, General, Judge, Banker) in the game, and are related to certain buttons associated with those positions.

When someone breaks the rules, the Titans are called, to discuss guilt, and pass punishment on the player in question. To report potential violations, go to Messages, and on the far right there is a link to "Contact the Titans." Should you have any questions about a rule, please bring it up politely on the forum (Case Archives > Questions and Answers), on Discord (!titans <message>), or in an email to admins (mailto:community@battlemaster.org).

The Social contract

There are five tenets of the Social contract. Each point is laid out in detail below.
