The Dos and Don'ts of War Games !

The next few posts are going to include what you should and shouldn't do while roleplaying in a thread made for the camp war games, as well as additional information you may find helpful.

The Basics !

↷ Just as the Greeks have Capture the Flag, the Romans have war games. Known war games are Deathball, Siege, Gladiator Fighting, Chariot Racing, and mock Naval Battles. The latter three are held in New Rome, at the Coliseum and Circus Maximus, and usually involve a specific amount of people. These games will be hosted in the Tournaments and Battles subforum found here. The War Games subforum is dedicated to Seige and Deathball, which all campers are mandated to participate in.

↷ Siege is the war game mentioned in The Son of Neptune. It's quite similar to Capture the Flag: the objective is for an alliance to breach the fort built on the Field of Mars and seize the opposing team's banners. Deathball is similar to paintball, except for the fact that acid, poison, and fireballs are used. In both games, participants can earn medals, which will be given out by the praetors at the end of the game.

↷ You can read here the rules of how Deathball and Seige will be played in the guild. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with the rules, as violations can result in a guild-wide penalty regarding how the war games are played.

↷ To participate in war games, you are required to sign your characters up for it ahead of time. This is to keep everything organized and fair so that there aren't any last minute victory swoop-ins. An announcement will be sent out informing members of an upcoming game and a thread will be made where you can sign up the characters you'd like to post with. If you're roleplaying with characters in other threads, that's perfectly fine! War games are considered separate from roleplaying threads, and so you are allowed to post with a character in more than one place. Everyone's character is allowed to participate, except for praetors, who will serve as referees during the games.

↷ Once the sign up thread has been closed, the roleplaying thread will be made and an announcement will be sent out. After that, feel free to post as long as you adhere to the rules! There will also be a posting limit enforced that will depend on the number of characters participating. This is so that everyone has an equal chance to post and have their characters do something. Users are allowed to post as long as it takes for a winner to be crowned, but please don't take that out of proportion: your characters will become injured. They will lose. It's not fair if you decide to keep pulling off miracles to keep your character from losing.

↷ Once a winner is reached, members will have two weeks to wrap things up with their characters. Medals may be given out during this time if deemed appropriate by the Crew and the injured should be treated IC. A warning announcement will be sent before a Mod officially closes the thread.

↷ Anything new added will be posted in red.

The Dos !

↷ Use the war games for plotting! These are excellent opportunities to forge relationships and create character development that'll really add some spice to your characters!

↷ Play fair! These really aren't any different from playing a game in real life - no one likes someone who ruins the fun by not playing by the rules.

↷ Make sure to read other posts thoroughly. A lot is going to be happening, so it's important to make sure you know what's going on!

↷ Have fun! There's a lot of rules, but that's really the whole point of these things.

↷ Anything new added will be posted in red.

The Don'ts !

↷ If you try to godmod, I may have rhinos do the rain dance on your stomach. 'Nuff said.

↷ Don't forget about the rules while roleplaying! They still exist for war games. For instance, you can't kill a person's character without multiple permissions first.

↷ Don't ignore the posting limit or other people's posts! It's important to keep things fair and informed of what's happening with so many characters.

↷ Anything new added will be posted in red.
