Lord Wyrmmlore looks at his General, Rules?
The General Shrugs as if hearing a foreign word.
wyrmmlore Looks back at the New Warrior, Rules??? he says.
There are no rules.....
It's a war game young Evernighter, what were you expecting, a challet on the coast while your troops fight it for you?
Sorry my friend, I think you wondered up the wrong ally, this is not a pleasant little stroll in the park.
here you fight real players for control of the land, here you get your hands dirty, here do you manage an empire, an Army, Magiks at Hand & beasts in many Forms, Oh the Forms...
here do you live or die by the sword.
The new Warrior looks suprised & more than a little confused...
Hmmm, Keep! a couple of balrog bitters Plz while I explains it a bit further perhaps?
Yes Please, says the Newb.
Keep arrives with the 2 Balrogs & Places them in front of wyrmmlore who chuggs one right down & hands the Empy Mug back to Keep before he even turns on his heels.
He grabs the other Mug & takes a Sip, May wanna get yerself a brew, this could take a while ;)
How does the game stay honest?
Consider this: Over time, a certain expectation has emerged as to what is considered fair or honourable, Imagine then a thin line called honour, if you drop to far below that line of expected behaviour, (also known as a code of Honour) Then you will get pounded.
Management does NOT enforce Game rules, it only enforce CoC, Maccing & harrassment policies, Newsgroup Moderation etc etc
What happens in game is for you to deal with as the situation arises.
Expect Nap Cancellations, Expect diry tricks, mistakes that effect your troops etc, it's a war game & war is hell.
What options do I have when I've been stabbed in the back? lol
Well, 1st option is to declare war & attack, but was it intentional or accidental, did it really hurt you?
A lot needs to be considered when planning what action to take when Incidents occur.
You can take it to Lies & Sighs Newsgroup for a community based opinion on your situation, although this news group is ENTER AT OWN RISK.
The same rules that apply in the general NG's etc are much more relaxed here, we will act on personally viscious remarks & remove off topic on request of several regular NG posters, but other wise....
No holds barred, say your piece but don't "expect" Validation, L&S is not an Authority, merely a place to vent, let others know of dirty play (in your opinion) etc.
Another option is to review them so others know of their evil ways.
Other than that, take names & number, revenge is a dish best served cold.....
