General

In general, a battle must be written in blog format. This allows users the chance to criticize/offer their opinions about the warrior. Battles written on a page will be deleted after a span of 1-2 days at the discretion of the administrator to give the user a chance to move the information. Do not have unfair match-ups. If the general audience or administrators agree that the battle is unfair, it will be deleted, ie. Assyrian vs. SWAT.

For help creating battles or blogs see Creating a Battle.

Warriors

Any characters posted by the user in a battle will be considered a warrior out of our good faith policy. However, if a user discovers that a character is not truly a warrior, ex. Spongebob Squarepants, then all battles/articles relating to that character will be deleted immediately.

How to Tell

To tell whether or not your character is a warrior, see the definitions below; a character has to match at least one of the following criteria:

1) Fights for a living

2) Fights on a daily basis

3) Has being a fighter a core part of their character*

4) Leads other fighters in battle

5) Has abilities allowing them to fight, and has used those abilities for that purpose

6) Commands a warrior/weapon like unit to fight

7) Is a representation of a user on this wiki

*Killing people can be considered "being a fighter," but only if the killer is fictional (i.e., someone like Dexter Morgan is a warrior, but Jack the Ripper isn't)

Prohibited soldiers include:

• Cartoon characters that have not truly engaged in combat
• Child soldiers
• Any character that does not meet the definition
• Warriors who were already pitted against in the show, Deadliest Warrior. Example, Viking vs. Samurai, Green Berets vs. Spetsnaz.

Images

Try to limit images on your battles to pictures of their respective weapons and of the character themselves. This is to reduce image trafficking and slow loading time.

Tips

Tips on how to attract a large audience/attention

• Keep your battle simple
• Have warriors people have heard about
• Try to avoid using criminals/persons who have caused national tragedies. Ex. Lee Harvey Oswald
• A healthy amount of advertising on chat and on other users' talk pages is allowed. Don't go overboard to the point of spamming though.

Voting

For the Author

Users must have voting periods of a minimum of three days before closing their battles. Disregarding the valid votes of the audience toward a particular warrior is not allowed. The author of the battle will be issued a warning. After three warnings, the author is expected to follow the rules. However, if the author continues to disregard the votes, then he will be blocked for a month and will not be allowed to write a battle/blog post for two weeks after the block has been terminated. For battles that have ended in a tie, the author can:

a.) Choose which warrior will be the victor

b.) Extend the voting period

c.) End the battle in a tie, so that both warriors are victors

As the author, you are allowed to give yourself a vote if you like. However, if the battle ends in a tie along with your vote, you must end the battle in a tie, as choosing your preferred warrior under these circumstances would essentially be giving yourself two votes. The one and only exception to this is in a proper tournament, where there MUST be one victor, so the author is allowed to determine the outcome if there is a tie.

For the Voter/Audience

If you are going to vote, please use the voting method the author provides and states you should use. If voting in comments, please try to provide a good and strong reason why that warrior should win. This is highly recommended, especially for battles lacking a voting poll. Creating multiple accounts to vote for one warrior more than once in a battle, or "sock-puppeting" is strictly prohibited. Doing so once will result in all alternate accounts being permanently blocked, and the main user given a 45-day block. Twice will result in the same but with the main user being given a 100-day block. And after the third time, the sock-puppets, along with the sock-puppeteer, will be permanently blocked.

User Battles

User battles are fictional battles between two or more users, ie. Omnicube1 vs. MrPacheco101. If you are planning to write a user battle, please consult the user(s) you will be facing in your battle. They must provide the weapons, training, or any forms of debate they will be using. Failing to list the appropriate weapons/provided items will result in a deletion of that battle.

User Tournaments

User Tournaments are a series of User Battles, conducted from time to time. In order to prevent the wiki from being flooded by a torrent of user characters, not only do individual user warriors qualify for pages, but a hard limit is set to how many Tournaments can run at a given moment in time: three. The three currently active tournaments are posted on the User Tournament Hub. Other tournaments can be created and entrees can be finalized during the time three others are running, but they cannot begin until a slot opens up, and are thus added to the Que until their proper turn arrives. If a tournament spends two months straight, with no update from the author or a notification of delay, it is considered inactive, and is moved to the bottom of the Que, pushing the next tournament up to begin.

Rematches

Rematches must be done with the original author's approval. If the author disapproves, then the rematch cannot happen, unless the user requesting the rematch can gain the publicly written support of at least three other users and at least two admins who support the cause of the rematch, which will override the disapproval of the author. If the original author has had his disapproval overridden, but still feels that a rematch should not be done, he is allowed to gain the publicly written support of other users against the rematch. The side with the highest number of supporters wins, with ties going to the original author. In the case of inactive or retired authors, the three supporters rule still applies, and an admin approval is needed as well.

If at any point, even after a rematch is done, sockpuppets are found to have been used as supporters, the side using them automatically has their position revoked. If the rematch was already done and found to have been invalid, then the original outcome will be posted in the battle status and the section will have a notification that the rematch was considered void due to sockpuppetting for votes.

Battles Featuring Wizards, Super Heroes, etc.

Wizards, super heroes, god warriors, force users, and other warriors with natural abilities cannot be limited to a certain set of powers. All powers cannonically used by that warrior are to be accounted for in all of his/her battles. Linking to other sites that provide a full list of the warrior's abilities is allowed.

Unfair Battle Rebuttal

1. One person brings up the idea of the battle being unfair and must provide a valid reason why said battle is unfair, then they must get two other supporters who must clearly state that they agree to the protesters' terms and want the battle to be deleted.
2. The protester cannot use old comments to support the deletion of the blog. If the claim goes without any support within one week then it is invalid.
3. If a user who thinks the battle is fair , provides a reason why, and also gets two other supporters, then rebuttal from before is invalid; however if there is no one to support it then it is also invalid.
4. If it comes a time for an outstanding challenge, then it will be decided via voting poll.
5. Battles may not be closed while there is a fairness challenge
