Rules
Winning a Bloodname is a warrior's guarantee of Clan immortality.
Not only is he honored with the right to use the Bloodname as his own, but he becomes
eligible for high military and political positions. Most important to Bloodnamed warriors
is the fact that, barring any subsequent action that would bring them shame, their genes
will contribute to the gene pool for the next generation. The remains of most Bloodnamed
warriors are returned to one of the 800 memorial chapels built by Nicholas Kerensky on
Strana Mechty to honor each of the original 800 warriors. There, the ashes of each
Bloodnamed warrior lie with the ashes of the other warriors of the same Bloodname in the
ornate tomb of their honored namesake.
Within our clan, there are 6 WidowMaker Blood Names; each of these
names has an honorable past that carries on even today. Of these 6 Blood Names each Blood
Name house is allowed active 5 Blooded Warriors. To give the blooded warriors immortality, the
CODEXs of the blooded warriors will be recorded and shown in the Blood Named Roster even
after a warrior leaves the clan or is unable to uphold its standards to real life
situations.
Blood Name Standards and Benefits
The right to carry a blood
name is a time honor tradition in the clans. Pilots who are worthy of such honor hold a
position of great esteem to the Clan Community and conduct themselves in a manner which
embodies the clan way. Clan WidowMaker is no different. Pilots within the clan who have a
bloodname should be treated with great respect, and should carry themselves in a manner
which embodies what being a WidowMaker is all about.
Here are the certain requirements a pilot
must have in order to be eligible to receive a bloodname. This document will also detail
what is expected of bloodnamed pilots and what the benefits of bloodnaming entails.
BASIC BLOOD NAME REQUIREMENTS
* Pilot must have ToB
badge.

4 Clan Wide Trainings

*Will be asked to evaluate the Keshik at time for
suggestions of improvement in areas of leadership
It is important that each blood named pilot
follows his expectations. Important areas of emphasis will be the conduct of the BNP in
combat. The BNP needs to follow orders and conduct themselves in a class manner. The BNP
also must treat all WidowMakers with respect, no matter if thoughts on a particular
subject differ. All infractions of the Blood Name code of conduct will be kept track of by
the Galaxy Commander. After 2 warnings should a pilot make another infraction to the code,
they will be stripped of all Blood Name rights.
Due to the fact the Keshik starts with a blood name. The keshik
will not have the benefit of choosing a battle to fight in once a week.
LOSING A BLOOD NAME
The following are reasons that a warrior might lose a
Blood Name
* Leaving clan on bad terms.
*Disrespecting WM wariors at any time.
*Getting Kicked out of the Clan.
Trials of Blood Name Rights (ToBRT)

Warriors apply for Blood names if they meet the requirements
stated above, warriors names and vital codex data is added to the Blood Name Seeking area.
If more then one warrior has applied for the same Blood Name a
Trial of Blood Right (ToBRT) will be held where all seeking warriors fight 1v1
trials till there is only one warrior worthy of seeking the Blood Name.
Once there is only one warrior seeking, Blood Name Masters will
set Blood Name Trial settings and the seeking warrior will face 3 Blooded warriors from
the Blood Name house he seeks to enter.
The ToBRT itself is league tournament like, a series of one
versus one battles where one warrior will become victorious. 3 Drops the winner has won
best 2 out of the 3 drops.
The victorious warrior will the one to move forward to face the
Blood Name Trial set for him by the Blood Name Master.

House Blood Name Trials
Each house should have its own personality. A Trial of Blood Right(ToBRT) is held to
see who is worthy of a Blood Name. The winner of this ToBRT gets a shot at the
“House” rules. If the person wins this ToBRT tournament and the Rules of the
House then they get a blood name. The only restriction is each house rule will be
approved by other blooded warriors as to not be too insanely tough. No matter the
House Rules, a seeking warrior shall face 3 Blooded Warriors from the House he seeks.
The seeking warrior must kill all 3 to become a Blooded warrior.
A Blood Name Master will submit "House" trial rules to the other Blood Name
Masters for approval, once approved sent to the seeking warrior.
A seeking warrior should have to face 3 Blooded House warrior, in Lights, Meds and
Heavy mechs, how that is done is up to the Blood Name Master.
"Blood Name House" Trial Rules
- Submit 3 maps.
- Submit trial conditions (Radar, Day/Night, Visibility, Weapons ect.)
- Submit mech chassis or let seeking warrior pick.
For example, a Blood Name Master for House SENDER might submit a Trial where all
warriors take all Nova Cats with Beam only weapons on a certain map and conditions.
Either an Admin, Keshik, or Blooded Warrior will monitor the
trial and report wins to the Khan or appointed admin.
A ToBRT will be held semiannually as a big clan event, UNLESS if at
any time there is an open blood name due to inactivity or just plain leaving the clan
there will be a ToBRT for that open slot of that name and that name alone. Quarterly
checks will be done to make sure Blooded Warriors are upholding their positions.
