Code of Honor

[Agravain of Orkney]

"To consult with my allies and inform opponents if taking an army other than one proportionally balanced according to the faction chosen".

Tomi,

I have been reflecting on the discussion and your previous replies to me regarding this item. Perhaps a better way to address this issue can be gotten from the following, which I posted to my m8s in our forums as I was trying to explain the reasoning behind it.

"....being honourable is to ensure that the battle will be a fair fight based upon the skill of the combatants, and not based upon who out-guesses who and can begin the fight with the best mis-matched army once the 'go' button is pressed."

Perhaps you can work with this and polish it up in a way that fits your CoH, instead of using the phrase "other than one proportionally balanced according to the faction chosen"

It has been bugging me to death for days too Agra

Everything else is pretty solid, but that one sentence (concept) is still not right.

Am going to take a long look at Lord Preston’s idea above, and see if we can use the game it’s self to help define things.

There has to be a practical way to do this, and we will find it.

Please keep the thoughts and ideas coming, it all will add up in the end

Although this is not quite finished enough to go fully public, the signatures are already coming in.

That’s the spirit!

I think the key to the whole code is in Tomi Says last sentance of his last last posting (incidentally how do you quote someone?) when he says "Thats the Spirit".

Its what this code is all about and anyone who wants to sign up and then look for holes in the wording to use for there advantage has utterly missed the point.

Finally I agree with Preston that no army list/formula should be attached to the code in any way, the talk about such things was always a sideline brought up incedentally in the course of discussing what constitutes fair play, so I dont think anyone need worry about such a clause when considering whether or not to sign up.

Finally on a more frivolous note, is there going to be a uniform tag for code of honour members to attach to there name, or will it be a kind of free form thing? Or is that a completly pointless point?

[Wishazu]

i think a tag is a good idea, it will help code signees identify each other more easily :)

[Lord Preston]

but how would you stop people just using them without signing up?

[Wishazu]

to be fair allmost nobody is gonna know what it means and probably wont bother about it. how many times have you seen peoples wierd tags in their nicks and not given them a second glance, i allmost never remember the names of people ive just played against, unless it was a particularly glorius battle :) the like the one we just played where i saved your ass ;)
