Welcome to the World of Westeros online RPG! Get ready to rewrite the history of Westeros. This game begins on the first moon of 289 AL, the year the events of The Game of Thrones unfold. Nothing that happens after the death of Jon Arryn have any effect on what we do here. Objective The point of this game is to accumulate Power for your House. There are two ways to win. The first is Military Conquest. You will notice that the Map is broken up into 205 regions. Take over all of them and you will be undisputed King of Westeros. The second way is Influence Conquest. Gain 1,000 Power and you win. How do you gain Power, you ask? Good Question! Power Every House starts out with a certain number of Power points. These are determined by the House's influence coming into the game. For example, Lannister starts with 10, whereas Targaryen starts with 0. To this is added a House's Position points. Each important position in the realm has a certain number of points assigned to it. Example: King is worth 25 points, Warden of the West is 5. To that is added Region points. Region Points are determined as 1 + the number of regions a House controls divided by 3. Finally, we add the Income points. This is found by adding the income of each region controlled by a House divided by 5. What is the income of each region? Regions Every one of the 205 regions in Westeros and Essos are assigned three Values: Income, Attack, and Defense. The first determines your Income Points. The Attack and Defense values make up the Battle Bonuses. Battles and Bonuses Battles over territories are determined by a best-of-three, 2-die roll system. A battle occurs when a House that has declared war on another House announces that it plans to invade a region. A House may only invade a a region if the region is adjacent to a region under that House's control. In other words, Lannister can only invade Tully's region if there is currently a declared war between them and the Tully's region is touching the Lannister's region. The bonuses add to the dice roll. If you are attacking from a region that has and Attack bonus of 2, 2 will be added to your total roll. So if your roll was a 5 and a 2, you would get 7+2=9. The same applies for the defense. Also, ties always go to the defender. To attack, post a topic in the appropriate forum including where and whence you are attacking, and an Administrator or Moderator will post the dice rolls, bonuses, and result of the battle. Dice rolls will be honest and final. After the battle, both sides will post an RP describing the battle. Roleplay All posts in a roleplay forum must be in-character. You must refrain from God-modding, which is controlling the actions or words of another player's characters. If you want to kill a player from another House, you have to PM that person as well as the Head of the House. Remember that death is an inevitable part of this game. It drives the plot and is necessary for the power vacuum that allows for the intrigue and political maneuvering in the game. So be willing to work with people on killing characters and they will be willing to work with you. Plus, you can have as many characters as you'd like so if one has to die, please consider it. Finally, just have fun and enjoy your time here!! Edited by Admin, Apr 3 2013, 12:47 AM.

Does that mean that I can't kill Joffery without his permission? |

Also, the rules say I can play more than one character. Does that mean that I can control other members of House Martell or can that be anyone? Do we make separate accounts or just post under this one specifying who I'm controlling? |

So sorry I didn't see this earlier. Yeah you can play any character in your own House or minor characters without creating a new account. if you would like to make new characters, at least for now, try to keep it to non-canon characters, or maybe one other house. And no, you cannot kill Joffrey without asking first. But please, as a general note to everyone out there. Death happens all the time in A Song of Ice and Fire. Major characters die. Be open to dying and starting new characters. |

I'll second Oberyn's question here, since we seem to be rolling quickly towards a trial by combat. Would it just be a completely random 50/50 dice roll thing like the battles, or completely premeditated by the two sides involved? It feels like a completely balanced dice roll would make it a bit simple for anyone to kill anyone, regardless of skill or match up, but then having the whole thing be premeditated would sort of take away most of the suspense... |

That's a great question. And one that I haven't completely figured out. If I thought there was a possibility of making a fair system I'd suggest a weighted die roll, given handicaps for skill, armor, weapon, etc. - but I frankly don't have time to do the trials to make it work properly. I think there would have to be consent to kill off a character, so both sides would need to consent to risking one of their characters. For the combat itself, it gets a little complicated. The best thing I can come up with right now is to end each post with a targeted strike (ie Lance feigned a strike at Janos' throat, then swiped at his leg.) and we can have a dice roll to determine success of the strike? Maybe weight in offense and defense as an add-on handicap or bonus. If anyone has any ideas on how to make this work, let me know! |

We could perhaps send our Champions to you ahead of time, maybe with like a "case" for their victory? Describe their skills and why they'd be good? I honestly don't know. While I know Oberyn is very honorable with these things from the arrest, it seems like the text-grounded combat would be open to some shadiness in other circumstances. Maybe the fight could go back and forth until the admins somehow determined a winner, then that winner could be messaged, authorizing him to make the killing blow? Otherwise, the fight might either stall between posts due to the dice rolls for each strike, or lack any real spirit, since both sides would already know the winner ahead of time... |

Ok. I'm instituting the No Douche rule here. That rule basically states: Don't be a douche. I would like to get a 3 person panel together to judge the fight. All three people should be unbiased, at least in that they don't have a dog in the fight per se. If all three people are approved by both sides, the fight will commence until the judges unanimously pick a winner. They will then message both participants, and the final blow will be dealt. If that sounds ok, I'd nominate the following: Lancel Manderly Margaery Tyrell Renly Baratheon |

I don't know about that Tyrell girl. She seems a bit shady. The others are fine. I assume that the three 'judges' would deliberate in private? |

That seems like the best way to go about this. Nothing like a panel of impartial judges. So… Who wants Westerlander castles for no reason at all

As a point of information, if someone is named a champion, are they required to serve, or can they turn it down? |

An interesting question. My initial instinct is to say that they can turn it down, since when Tyrion has his trial by combat in the Vale, he asks for volunteers. Had he been able to name one without them saying no, then he would have. Also, if anyone given a trial by combat could just name anyone to fight for them, then Jaime Lannister would be giving a lot of people a get out of jail free card. |

It's definitely got to be a choice. It'd be a ridiculous if, while on trial, you could force anyone at all to go potentially die for you. It has to be optional for the champion. |
