Battle Master

The Battle Master can control the rules of a battle and kick unruly players off of the Challenge Ring before a battle begins.

The rules of a battle are shown at the bottom of the left hand window. Click on a rule to change it. When a rule is changed you and all the other players in the battle will become "unchecked." This is a safety measure to prevent rules changes from slipping past players undetected.

As Battle Master you have the responsibility of creating a good game for all the players involved. If one player is not appropriate to your game (perhaps his level is too high) you can Kick him Off the ring. Just right-click on his name in the window and select Yes.

We urge you to consider the requests of other players on your ring regarding rules changes. Nobody likes to wait a long time for a battle to start, and heeding such requests can make everyone happier.

There is one other extremely important role for you as Battle Master. Your computer will be the one chosen to route information between the other players in the game. If you have a slow or poor connection, it is good etiquette to allow others to become a Battle Master instead.

Another consideration is your connection speed. If you're hosting a game of five or more players, you might ask around the ring to see who has the fastest connection. A fast Battle Master makes a more reliable game for everyone.
