BRE CHARTER.

Organization is required within this game and these are the rules we play by
anything not expressly forbidden within the charter is allowed.  Some events 
require board retaliation, these will be marked by an "*".

1) Message base must be read daily.

2) Status messages are required. (i.e. total attack and defense capability, 
	and # of spies you have.

3) The target of attack is the highest ranked player in regions (as listed in
	the Top 10/regions) not on our present board. The attacks shall continue
	until the target is no longer in the top 10 in regions. There is no 
	Warlord in this style of play.  There is no ambassador.  We are all 
	individuals under charter of mutual assistance.  If you must speak to 
	persons off board, whine, cry, tell them we are on the brink of civil 
	war amongst ourselves. But you are forbidden to mention the charter or 
	give accurate information on board policies.
  
4) There are no treaties with other boards.  In war there are no friends, and 
	in BRE you have no true allies.  Us *vs* Them. 

5) Spy attacks are NOT forbidden.  Getting caught is.  All members are required
	to publicly disavow any knowledge of spy attacks off board. Information
	recieved may be passed on to the rest of us via the message base.

*6) Attacking and spying by members of this board against members of this board,
	is FORBIDDEN. There is no self defense clause, If you are attacked use
	the message base for political reconciliation.  
	Retaliation by the signatories of this charter is guaranteed against the
	attacking party.  BUT YOU CAN BE SET UP BY SPIES.

7) Policies of the Hidden Army are to be used by all. (included in a separate
	Document).

8) The name of the game is regions, who ever is the Planetary Master of this 
	board at the end of this game will be the winner of the game. Assuming
	we do this correctly, this will also mean that our BBS will be #1 as well.

9) Treaties between players will be decided by concensus of the participants.
	A vote on the appropriate treaty will be held immediately.

10) All policies set out by this document are open for debate and revision.
	Ammendments to this treaty will be done by vote of players. and a copy of 
	original and all supported ammendments will be kept by the SYSOP.

*11) All local comments in the message base of the game are not to be discussed 
	off the board.

12) The policy on assistance to members of our board who are attacked is as follows:
	Signatories of the charter will provide the affected signatory with the daily
	contribution they would normally provide to the Hidden Army. And an immediate
	dispensation for a single retaliatory strike on the aggressor.

13) Anyone not wishing to abide by these conditions, is free to do as he wishes
	but items 6 and 11 will provoke a retaliatory strike by the signatories
	of this charter.  

14) Members are allowed to pair off to retailiate against attacks or outside 
	threats but notice of the action must be posted and approved by the 
	reigning Plantary Master.  (Lack of an answer in 24 hours is considered
	tenative approval).  No more than two players at a time will be engaged
	outside the master provision #3 of this charter at one time.
	These two players will be designated on a short term basis (given a mission
	not to exceed one week outside the scope of the master plan) the planetary
	master is not allowed to approve theirself for outside forays.
