IC Fighting

The basic thing to remember in any IC combat is to take turns and take sufficient damage. If there are more than two players, agree on an order in which you will go and stick to that order to lessen any possible confusions. Almost as importantly, never call someone else's damage, such as:

Padan swung his dagger with all his might and struck his opponent's chest with great impact.

Now, it is quite alright for Padan to hit and kill a non-played character (generally called an NPC) that has little or no significance (and for the sake of this RP, no one who has yet to die in the books). However, he cannot strike with impact, for instance, Egwene Al'Vere unless her player has agreed to it. Note: I must reiterate, our aim in Tarmon Gai'don is to refrain from straying out of continuity. Therefore, no canonical character shall die untill he/she dies in the series.

• Hand-to-Hand Combat
  • This type of combat includes close range weapons as well as brawling or fist fights. Do remember that it is close range. Limit your character's moves per turn accordingly.
• Fighting with the Power
  • This type of combat may also include long range weapons. Because it is long range, take your character's aiming ability into consideration.
  • Your character's experience in the Power (or in the long range weapon) is a vital part of whether it shall hit or miss the target intended. It also affects the time it takes for the attack to commence. For example, you would not expect an Accepted to be able to weave protection against danger as fast an Aes Sedai who's been wearing the shawl for as long as anyone can remember.

OOC Fighting

• First and foremost... Don't. At least not in Tarmon Gai'don. If you have a bone to pick with someone, do so in IM, ICQ, email, or some other correspondence. Not on the Message Board, and not in the chatroom.
• Don't let things get blown out of proportion. Do not call names, and do not flame (badmouthing someone in a public means of communication-- email list, message board, chatroom, etc).
• If your quarrel is with a staff member or the host (or anyone for that matter), approach the person calmly and tactfully and try to find some means of reconciliation.
