Reeves are tiny gods!
a safety Officer
A Reeve is like an referee in Amtgard. It comes from Old English, the word "Sheriff" actually came from "Shire Reeve". It was an official, judge, etc.
Reeves are charged with running battlegames, wars, tourneys and making sure that everyone follows the rules, solving disputes, and advising the players on the rules. They are governed by a Guildmaster of Reeves, who is elected from their number. Reeves must pass a Reeve's Test to qualify as a reeve, generally every six months to maintain standing. This may vary from kingdom to kingdom.
It should be noted that a good battlegame reeve is not necessarily a good tourney reeve, and visa versa. The former requires primary knowledge of the rulebook and the ability to keep a game flowing and balanced. The latter needs a good eye. They both need the ability to make a tough call when needed.
Reeves are designated by wearing a gold tunic or sash. They may never be attacked in any battlegame scenario. The reeve's word is final, if you disagree take it up with them later or the Guildmaster.
