Rules of Combat

Much like any fight you have ever seen, you will be judged by your technique and believability. No One is a super hero, and thus you can not toss a spear and simultaneously jump 15 feet left….. Let’s keep it real. Here at the Jewel we allow those Who are to do battle to determine what type of fight they desire….. whether it is a battle for Honor, a battle for booty, a battle to end an issue of annoyance or a Death Match.

The Two combatent’s are responsible for their actions and Honor. If you feel you are loosing a non mortal challenge to your opponent, and want to give up, you may spill a drop of your own blood into the sand and declare you are through, and forfeit the agreed upon booty.

If you are loosing a mortal challenge and wish to quit, simply kneel, and thrust your weapon in the sand before you (if you are still holding it). One of several things can occur at this time: (1) the Victor can chose to go ahead and kill you...you did agree to the terms; (2) you could be immediately slaved and either kept by the Victor or auctioned off; or (3) the Victor can simply take your booty and leave you in the sand.

A Warrior has in his codes the requirement to either accept a slave or kill it. Not everyone you face will be of the Warriors, and not all Warriors keep the codes.

1. The foremost rule is the 3 post rule. You can not kill anyone in a single post. It takes three consecutive un-defended posts to inflict any damage or kill anyone.

2. You must post a minimum of 5 words during a battle scene post. Thre are no minimums per defensive post.

3. You can only do two acts with each post. You may block and strike or block twice but never strike twice.

4. You must counter each post sent to you before the opponant posts twice more! Or it will be deemed as having happened and you must acknowledge it in your next post...no exceptions….Taking the damage on your body and limiting yourself by that damage. If you do not acknowledge it, the judge will announce it and you will limit yourself accordingly.

5. You may NOT describe injury to your opponent or post things like "and then you fell and died" this is unacceptable.

6. If you throw a weapon, you loose it and must retrieve it in post to use it again. Remember it’s an 80 foot square, so you will not be capable of getting to the other side in fewer than 3 posts. Your opponent will try to stop you or even take your discarded weapon, assuming they can carry it and their own. (Remember try to keep it as real as possible)

7. GETTING BOOTED BY YOUR SERVER IS NO EXCUSE. IT'S THE SAME AS LOOSING CONSCIOUSNESS OR FAINTING. Log back on quickly and see what was done to you in your absence. *S* Honorable folks will wait, but not all Goreans are Honorable and you may wake up dead.

PICK THE TIME OF YOUR BATTLE WHERE RT WILL NOT INTERRUPT YOU.

8. The decisions of the judges are final both during and after the battle. In cases of total outcry the Council of the Jewel may step in, at their discretion, and make the ultimate final ruling.


* Warning *

Be warned that if you agree to mortal combat and loose by a fatal injury, your handle will be permanently banned from the Sand Pit and The Jewel of Gleaming Thassa and all that you posses will become property of the victor.

THIS INCLUDES ALL TAVERN SLAVES YOU OWN, EVEN IF THEY DID NOT AGREE TO STAND AS BOOTY. A TAVERN SLAVE THAT REFUSES TO HONOR THEIR NEW OWNER’S RIGHTS WILL HAVE THEIR HANDLE BANNED ALONG WITH THE SLAIN OWNER’S.

ALL DEATHS WILL BE POSTED ON CORK BOARDS AT NEIGHBORING GOREAN SITES. ALL PROVEN DEATHS OCCURRING AT NEIGHBORING SITES WILL BE HONORED AT THE JEWEL.

Be careful when accepting any challenges to the death, You may be affecting more lives than just your own.
