In this section you will find the rules for participating in the Empire as well method in which we determine the winners of a battle. The rules are to be followed at all times under penalty of suspension or complete expulsion.

• All characters must be 100% original. This means that you may not use a character from a novel, a wrestler, any other previously created fictional character.
  
  
• Winners will be chosen through a point system determined mainly by roleplays. To explain, each roleplay submitted will be given a point value between 1 and 12 with 12 being the highest. The top 2 roleplays submitted by a person for a particular match are then added together to form a Roleplay Score. Additional points can be added by submitting "Strats" for the week (See "Strategies" section for details). Emmersing yourself in an interesting "Plot" is the best way to move up the ladder.
  
  
• All battle events will be held on Thursday of each week. There is no set time at which they will be released. To clarify, I will release a detailed accounting of all matches for the week including Strats. Of course, your character doesn't necessarily have to be in a match to be involved in the Battle Event.
  
  
• The deadline for Roleplays will be Wednesday at 9:00pm central time. This deadline is somewhat flexible and it will be up to the Emperor (Or whoever is grading the roleplays) whether or not late entries will be accepted.
  
  
• In order for a Death Match to take place both combatants must agree unless one character has been inactive for 2 weeks.
  
  
• Should your character lose a Death Match, he or she will be removed from the roster. Only in special circumstances will a character be readmitted into the Empire (i.e. he or she returns as an Undead or Vampire.)
  
  
• Above all else, have fun, and do not ruin the fun of others.
