Referees
- Refs are there to answer questions and ensure rules are being followed correctly
Referees at Empire are there to facilitate and assist with the rules of the game. If you have a question or need a decision about a character skill or action, then you should consult a referee. The referees will be wandering the IC field, but if you cannot find one then you can go to GOD and they will obtain a ref for you.
Identifying a Ref
- Refs wear a gold and black quartered livery coat
- Please avoid using a quartered gold and black livery coat as your costume
Our referees will be wearing basic costume and a gold and black quartered livery coat like the one pictured. On occasions where we need to put a large number of referees in the field at once then some refs may wear a gold and black quartered tabard instead. Anyone who is wearing a livery coat with this design should be treated as a referee. For this reason players are not allowed to wear this design of livery coat.
Referees in Empire are purely OOC. They do not exist in the game in any IC form. They are wearing a distinctive piece of costume so that they can be easily identified without breaking the visual immersion of the field, they should not be treated as characters.
When to get a Ref
- Try to get a ref before getting involved in combat
- The balance of doubt goes to the defender in a dispute if no ref is present
We would encourage you to get a referee to assist with:
- Attacking another character including poisoning or capturing them
- Stealing items or money from other characters
- Treating complex traumatic injuries
- Performing a Ritual
You don't have to get a ref before you attempt one of these actions, but the ref will help to ensure that all the rules are followed. As the defender has no chance to get a ref first (they don't know they are going to be attacked or robbed), if there is a disagreement between players then the balance of the doubt will go to the defender if there is no ref present.
Characters should have no need to attack a child but in the exceptionally rare circumstance where you need to initiate combat with a child then you must consult a referee first and follow their guidance. The referee will ensure that the child's OOC welfare is not compromised by your IC actions.
Marshals
- Marshals are there to oversee safety and perform specific game tasks
- Please do not approach a marshal unless it is an emergency
Marshals at Empire are not referees. Although they support the game they are not there to provide direct assistance to the players and they cannot help you with a general query or any game task you wish to attempt.
Marshals have a range of responsibilities, such as overseeing safety, handling special FX, and delivering messages or game rulings to players. A marshal may find you to deliver an item or game ruling but you should not approach a marshal looking for help, unless it is an emergency.
Identifying a Marshal
- Refs wear a red and black quartered livery coat
- Please avoid using a quartered red and black livery coat as your costume if possible
Our referees will be wearing basic costume and a red and black quartered livery coat like the one pictured for the referee but with red panels rather than gold. Anyone who is wearing a livery coat with this design should be treated as a marshal. For this reason m are not allowed to wear livery coats with this specific design and colour scheme.
