Unauthorizations
and Unsanctionednesses
The concepts, rules, information, and general
philosophy presented or referred to in this text (which material shall
hereafter be referred to as "This Stuff") are completely
unauthorized and unsanctioned by anyone, anywhere, with the possible
exception of Mike Rayhawk, who, in the event that he can ever be proven to authorize and/or sanction This Stuff, pledges to authorize and/or sanction
it only half-heartedly and on a very occasional basis. This Stuff
is especially unauthorized by the LEGO Group of companies, Mega Bloks
Inc., Best-Lock, or by any of the other dozens of producers of plastic
construction toys, or in fact by any producer of any type of toys, plastic or construction or otherwise.
Furthermore, if there is anyone else out there we somehow missed,
we apologize and preemptively disclaim any apparent or implicit authorization
or sanctioning from said parties. In the unlikely event that some
presently unspecified party attempts to sanction or authorize This
Stuff at some point in the future, we reserve the right to acknowledge
or disavow their sanctioning or authorization at our discretion.

The cover image "The Dread Pirate
Two-By-Two" is Copyright ©2005 Mike Rayhawk. Except where
noted otherwise, all rulebook images are created and copyrighted
by Mike Rayhawk. These images may be construed by hostile parties
as bearing some superficial resemblance to products that are trademarks
of the LEGO Group or some other producer of plastic construction
toys. This does not represent any kind of endorsement or approval
by the LEGO Group. BrikWars is not specifically geared towards the
"LEGO®" product line, nor towards any specific product
line of any producer of plastic construction toys, or towards any other type
of toys. In the unlikely event that it can be proven that these
pictures are intended to portray products in the "LEGO®"
product line, then that portrayal should be interpreted as representing
the artists' and photographers' personal, subjective, and unsolicited preference
for the "LEGO®" product line. These images are provided
only as examples - any type of toys, including products from other
manufacturers' lines of plastic construction toys, could be used
instead.
Many of the example images and photographs in the rulebook are taken from submissions to the BrikWars Forum by the BrikWars Forum community, under the auspices of the well-written and extremely credible BrikWars Forum Terms of Use. All such images are noted with credits to the submitting forum member and a link to the thread or post in which they appeared, and remain the copyright of their respective owners, even when appearing in modified form.
Conceptual Progenitors
The earliest versions of BrikWars drew great inspiration from the games Lego
Wars and Lego Wars II, copyright ©1991, 1995 Eric O'Dell
and R. Todd Ogrin.
Lego Wars and Lego Wars
II were not authorized or sanctioned by the LEGO Group. The word
LEGO® is a registered trademark of the LEGO Group, and its inclusion
in the titles of Lego Wars and Lego Wars II was quite specifically
protested and prohibited by the LEGO Group, eventually resulting in those games' annihilation.
