Match Integrity

Every die-roll, every move-cost, every hit, every drop is computed on the BellusTowne server. The browser only displays what the server has already decided. A modified client cannot give itself a hit, a heal, an item, or a victory.

Combat resolves on a 2d6 against a target-number derived from class, kin, terrain, and chosen action. The better-played champion wins the great majority of fair matches. Randomness colors the margin, not the outcome.

Every action in a Coliseum match is written to coliseum_encounter_log as it happens: who acted, where, what dice were rolled, what damage landed. The log is append-only — there is no UPDATE or DELETE policy. A match's history cannot be quietly rewritten.

The Founder and the Chief Constable are barred, server-side, from receiving any purse distribution. This is not policy alone; it is enforced in the payout function and re-asserted at every settlement. See the Champion's Covenant.

Stripe fees → Towne Toll 5% → Founder's Draw 5% → Chief Constable's Share 3% → Prize Pool to the bracket (60 / 25 / 10 / 5). Coliseum entries are facilitated by Strength & Solidarity LLC; the LLC does not act as a bookmaker, does not set odds, and does not offer spectator wagering.

Only Citizens entered in a given match may stake coin in that match. There is no spectator betting under any name — no parlays, no prop bets, no "fan stakes." Persons in forbidden jurisdictions cannot enter purse matches. Coliseum entries are not "donations" or "tithes"; they are contest entry fees, period.

Any Citizen may declare a self-exclusion at Responsible Play. The server refuses their entry into excluded scopes regardless of which page the entry is attempted from. A 24-hour cooling-off period prevents impulse reversal; permanent exclusions are not reversible.

Suspected cheating, collusion, exploit, or unfair adjudication may be reported to the Chief Constable. The encounter log makes review tractable; the Founder's Box (admin view) preserves the full sequence of a match for as long as the law and our retention policy require.
