The Arena: Rules: Advanced: Gray Rulings




	The Rules:Advanced Gray Rulings Gray rulings are made when a host isn't sure about the outcome of an unusual combination of events. If resources are available, the host will consult the rules, and/or another host, on or off duty, to get input on what should happen. If you want to question a ruling, you should send an IM to the host immediately, and be both patient and polite. The host may consider the player's advice on the ruling, but isn't required to accept it. Of course, there's a good chance that someone in the room will know. If all else fails, the host may simply ask if anyone knows. Given the resources at hand, the host's ruling should be considered binding and final. However, it may be reversed, later, to preserve the integrity of the game. For example, a host may believe a character is at 35/0 instead of 32/0. He fights at these stats and wins, but has only 3 hp left. Later, after the report is finished, the hosts may discuss and realize the problem. Because the true result is uncertain, they'll cancel the fight, not award points to the opponent. (This is why it's a good idea to correct your stats if the host has them wrong.) In most cases, however, rulings will not be reversed.
