RCP 305 - The King of Games

Article I - Definitions

The "King of Games" is a label awarded to the winner of a set of competitive
events within a given circuit of turns. The set of competitive events to
determine the King of Games is known as a "Tournament." All Active Players who
have explicitly expressed their interest in the Tournament will be known as
"Participants."

Articles II - Timing and Content

A Tournament may be scheduled at any time that is convenient for the majority
of Participants. An Active Player who is not already a Participant may freely
express their intention to participate at any point prior to the commencement
of the Tournament. Likewise, a Participant may withdraw from the Tournament at
any point, even after it has commenced. In a situation where a Participant
withdraws from the Tournament after it has started, they forfeit any awards
they might otherwise have received by being in the Tournament.

The King of Games has explicit authority to determine the specifications of a
Tournament. As such, The King of Games may decide the number of events, the
complexity of said events, and the time frame in which said events take place
as long as there is at least one Participant who is not the King of Games and
is willing to abide by all the terms that specify said Tournament. In most
cases, Tournaments are encouraged to be held either entirely in the context of
a single session or with each event occupying its own session.

In this rule, unless amended, all events determined by the King of Games must
be available to the entire body of Active Players, regardless of whether or not
they have expressed their desire to participate.

Article III - The Nature of Games

A Tournament may be considered valid if the set of events comprising it enables
the determination of a discernable and uncontested winner. However, this is not
to say that a given Tournament must be comprised of purely competitive games in
which no Participant is allied with another Participant for the sake of a given
game. In situations where a Tournament is comprised purely of team-based games,
then The King of Games must include stipulations specific to that Tournament
that enable the determination of a winner.

The standing King of Games may not include any games that were featured in the
previous Tournament's set, even if the holder of the title of King of Games
changes between Tournaments. Likewise, for any Tournament proposed by the King
of Games, there must be a reasonable chance that any Participant may win the
Tournament. At any time during the competition, a Participant that is not the
King of Games may motion for the specifications of a singular event to be
changed and such a motion must receive a majority vote in favor of it for it to
become official.

The standing King of Games may also propose alternative prizes that the winner
may receive but such a proposal must receive a unanimous vote from the
Participants and may not create, alter, or otherwise override existing systems
or resources as contained within the rule set.

Article IV - Winning the Tournament

After the completion of a given Tournament, the winner of the Tournament
inherits the title of "The King of Games" for as long as another Participant
does not win a future Tournament. The Prize for winning the Tournament,
regardless of title, is 25 Points. In addition, the winner must select at least
one and up to three other Participants to receive 10 Points each.
Alternatively, the King of Games may decide to award all Participants 5 Points
for their involvement in the Tournament.

The standing King of Games is eligible to win any given Tournament as long as
they fully abide by the specifications of the Tournament that has been
proposed.

Article V - Hieratum's Profit

In the event that this rule is successfully ratified by a unanimous vote,
Hieratum immediately receives the title of "The King of Games." The exact
specifications of the first Tournament are to be decided by a majority vote
held during the Eldritch Assembly after the end of the current circuit of
turns. After which, this article becomes void and is immediately removed from
the content of this rule.
