This document is the highest-level military decree available in Ar's Station. While a "Raid Declaration" is for a single strike, the War Agreement signifies a state of total, ongoing conflict between two Home Stones. It sets the "Meta" rules for the players and the "In-Character" laws for the Warriors to ensure the war remains high-quality and free of drama.
❖ EDICT OF TOTAL WAR & MARTIAL COVENANT ❖
AR’S STATION: THE HIGH COUNCIL & SCARLET BENCH
SOVEREIGN DECLARATION: Let it be known to the Priest-Kings and the people of Gor that the Home Stones of Ar’s Station and [CITY NAME] are now in a state of open warfare. The peace is shattered; the steel is bared. This conflict arises from: [REASON FOR WAR: e.g., Territorial Dispute, Assassination, Trade Embargo]
❖ CITY DEFENSE & READINESS ❖
THE GATES: The Great Gates of Ar’s Station shall remain barred and the portcullis dropped. Only those with high-clearance Scribe passes may enter. Strangers who infiltrate must be dealt with by the Guard; the security of the bridge is the life of the city.
STATIONING: All members of the Scarlet Bench and the Green Bench (Physicians) are ordered to the walls. Defense and healing are the priorities of the Home Stone until the truce is struck.
❖ THE ARTICLES OF WAR (OOC & IC RULES) ❖
I. THE GENDER OF STEEL Ar’s Station does not recognize female outlaws, mercenaries, or warriors. No female combatants (excepting Panthers/Talunas) are permitted to participate on either side. Any female fighters found on the field are subject to immediate capture and enslavement.
II. THE RATIO OF BLOOD (+3 RULE) To ensure tactical depth and fair engagement, the attacking force may number no more than [+3] over the total number of defenders present at the time of the engagement.
III. CAPTIVITY & HOSTAGES The capturing of citizens, both male and female, for the purposes of ransom, hostage negotiation, or enslavement is fully authorized for the duration of this war.
IV. CONDUCT & DISCIPLINE (NO OOC DRAMA) This is a planned roleplay event. All participants shall remain courteous. OOC bickering in open channels is a violation of city protocol. Any disputes must be taken to a Moderator or Administrator immediately.
V. THE TEMPO OF BATTLE (6-HOUR COOLDOWN) To allow for recovery, medical RP, and participation across all time zones, raids are limited to one (1) every six hours per side. This ensures meaningful consequences for every strike.
VI. EXTREME CONSEQUENCES (CONSENT & RP) All captures—including executions, severe mutilation, or sexual conquest—must be roleplayed with high detail. However, OOC Consent is Paramount. Check the subject's profile; if their rules do not allow for permanent death or specific traumas, you must find an alternative RP path. No killing or mutilation without appropriate build-up and agreement.
VII. SUPREMACY OF SIM LAW Standard Sim Laws remain in effect for both sides. If this agreement conflicts with a Sim Law, the Sim Law takes precedence unless noted in the "Additional Provisions" below.
