= Rules of Engagement or ROE =

The rules that mages (or groups of mages) set to themselves, eachother and their enemies.

'honourable'

== difference between rules in ROE's and game rules ==
Game rules (way the code works, thing that are forbidden to do [[decalogue]]) are something completely different than ROE's. The first rules are enforced by the admins and apply to all - the second are not enforced by admins, powerfull mages can enforce them on their enemies, but only if they are powerfull enough. TR is a wargame and ROE's are reasons to start or not start wars.

+Rules of Engagement are a set of rules than individuals or guilds set for themselves other mages that may attack them.  RoEs are not a game mechanic but are rather enforced by the guilds who create them.  It is always wise to be aware of a guild's RoE before attacking one of their members. RoEs are usually listed or linked to in a mage's description.
