In The War Games, the Doctor runs into a Time Lord who is said to be an old friend. This Time Lord is working for/with the War Lord, using the ''job description'' "The War Chief". "The War Chief" allies himself with a powerful alien force, who he plans to betray when the time is right, seizing total power for himself. He lays out his aims as bringing peace, stability and order to the Universe(with himself as ruler of course). The Doctor messes up his plans, and he is shot. The novelisation(written by Malcolm Hulke, and edited by Terrance Dicks) explicitly states that the Doctor and "The War Chief" are the only two renegade Time Lords at this time. In interviews, Gary Russell stated that when "The War Chief" was at the Academy, he had the nickname 'Magnus'.
Less than eighteen months later(in real-world time of course), the Time Lords come to alert the Doctor to the fact that his old friend "The Master" has arrived on Earth to seek revenge for the Doctor ruining his scheme. It is revealed that this scheme involved the Master using hypnosis on humans from various periods of Earth history. The novelisations of Terror of the Autons(written by Terrance Dicks) and Colony in Space(written by Malcolm Hulke) give a broader background. This includes the fact that The Master was using an alias at the time, that the Doctor mistakenly believed that The Master didn't have a working TARDIS(when he in fact did), and that the Master;s scheme involved him taking humans from various points in Earth's history, hypnotising them into believing they were still fighting various wars from earth history, with the aim being to create a super-army of the best soldiers. The Doctor alerted the Time Lords to this, who arrived and captured the Doctor, but The Master was able to escape. It is also confirmed that the Master and the Doctor are the only two renegade Time Lords at this time. And Malcolm Hulke later confirmed this fact in interviews. The events of "The War Games" are referenced in the television stories Terror of the Autons, The Mind of Evil, Colony in Space, The Sea Devils, Frontier in Space, the Deadly Assassin, Mark of the Rani, The TV Movie, The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords and The End of Time. Barry Letts stated in interviews that he wanted Roger Delgado to give an extra depth the already-existing character that he renamed 'The Master'. Gary Russell and Warwick Gray both stated in interviews that the character 'Magnus'(who appears in the comic 'Flashback' as a contemporary of the Doctor's on Gallifrey) is The Master.
However, one pompous fuck refuses to acknowledge that. He/she instead states that "various novels" contradict this and establish that that is not so. In fact the only novel that even hints at this is Divided Loyalties(written by Gary Russell!)
In this low-rated book, various characters have dreams about their pasts, only the dreams feature real events mixed up with surreal, anxiety-inducing fiction. Tegan dreams that she missed her father's funeral(which she had actually attended), Adric's and Nyssa's dreams bear very little resemblance to the realities of Full Circle and The Keeper of Traken.
And then the Doctor '''falls asleep and starts to dream'''(very explicitly stated in the book). The next Chapter is called '''Dreaming''' in big bold letters(Capital Letters in the book). The Doctor has a '''dream''' where he is back on Gallifrey, only nothing follows what we know about Galifrey and the Doctor's early life. We learn that only people with a "Rassilon imprint" can even '''travel''' in a TARDIS and that only the Academy gives them out. We learn that the Doctor was expelled from the Academy. We learn that Type 30 TARDISes are brand spanking new at the time.  We learn that the Doctor and Mortimus were good friends at the Academy, and that Mortimus left Gallifrey '''before''' the Doctor. And then the Doctor '''wakes up'''. He remarks on the '''weird nightmare''' he just had. Another character suggest he was drugged. However, the Doctor and his companions are in the Dreamscape, controlled by the Celestial Toymaker(you know the malevolent character who gets pleasure from playing games and tormenting people). He admits that these weird and confusing nightmares were all created/induced by him, as one of his sick '''games'''.
So, do we take the countless real-world and in-universe sources OR do we take one jumbled-up, drug-induced '''Dream Sequence''' that is explicitly said to '''not be real''' and to be '''one of the Celestial Toymaker's sick agmes''? Hey, this is Tardis Data Core! let's go with the Dream Sequence that contradicts pretty much '''all''' established continuity, and block anyone who dares to suggest otherwise!

Welcome to the Tardis:About 41.133.47.166

Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

Thing is, though, to play the game, you do need to be logged in.

Don't get us wrong: you don't need to have a registered account to make a lot of great edits around here. But you may find that there are good reasons to create an account. For a start, we could call you by a name instead of 41.133.47.166.

Even if you decide not to register, you should be aware that we've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki.
British English, please
We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

I have been blocked for making some common sense edits. Let's discuss this rationally, shall we?

In The War Games, the Doctor runs into a Time Lord who is said to be an old friend. This Time Lord is working for/with the War Lord, using the job description "The War Chief". "The War Chief" allies himself with a powerful alien force, who he plans to betray when the time is right, seizing total power for himself. He lays out his aims as bringing peace, stability and order to the Universe(with himself as ruler of course). The Doctor messes up his plans, and he is shot. The novelisation(written by Malcolm Hulke, and edited by Terrance Dicks) explicitly states that the Doctor and "The War Chief" are the only two renegade Time Lords at this time. In interviews, Gary Russell stated that when "The War Chief" was at the Academy, he had the nickname 'Magnus'.

Less than eighteen months later(in real-world time of course), the Time Lords come to alert the Doctor to the fact that his old friend "The Master" has arrived on Earth to seek revenge for the Doctor ruining his scheme. It is revealed that this scheme involved the Master using hypnosis on humans from various periods of Earth history. The novelisations of Terror of the Autons(written by Terrance Dicks) and Colony in Space(written by Malcolm Hulke) give a broader background. This includes the fact that The Master was using an alias at the time, that the Doctor mistakenly believed that The Master didn't have a working TARDIS(when he in fact did), and that the Master;s scheme involved him taking humans from various points in Earth's history, hypnotising them into believing they were still fighting various wars from earth history, with the aim being to create a super-army of the best soldiers. The Doctor alerted the Time Lords to this, who arrived and captured the Doctor, but The Master was able to escape. It is also confirmed that the Master and the Doctor are the only two renegade Time Lords at this time. And Malcolm Hulke later confirmed this fact in interviews. The events of "The War Games" are referenced in the television stories Terror of the Autons, The Mind of Evil, Colony in Space, The Sea Devils, Frontier in Space, the Deadly Assassin, Mark of the Rani, The TV Movie, The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords and The End of Time. Barry Letts stated in interviews that he wanted Roger Delgado to give an extra depth the already-existing character that he renamed 'The Master'. Gary Russell and Warwick Gray both stated in interviews that the character 'Magnus'(who appears in the comic 'Flashback' as a contemporary of the Doctor's on Gallifrey) is The Master.

However, one pompous fuck refuses to acknowledge that. He/she instead states that "various novels" contradict this and establish that that is not so. In fact the only novel that even hints at this is Divided Loyalties(written by Gary Russell!)

In this low-rated book, various characters have dreams about their pasts, only the dreams feature real events mixed up with surreal, anxiety-inducing fiction. Tegan dreams that she missed her father's funeral(which she had actually attended), Adric's and Nyssa's dreams bear very little resemblance to the realities of Full Circle and The Keeper of Traken.

And then the Doctor falls asleep and starts to dream(very explicitly stated in the book). The next Chapter is called Dreaming in big bold letters(Capital Letters in the book). The Doctor has a dream where he is back on Gallifrey, only nothing follows what we know about Galifrey and the Doctor's early life. We learn that only people with a "Rassilon imprint" can even travel in a TARDIS and that only the Academy gives them out. We learn that the Doctor was expelled from the Academy. We learn that Type 30 TARDISes are brand spanking new at the time. We learn that the Doctor and Mortimus were good friends at the Academy, and that Mortimus left Gallifrey before the Doctor. And then the Doctor wakes up. He remarks on the weird nightmare he just had. Another character suggest he was drugged. However, the Doctor and his companions are in the Dreamscape, controlled by the Celestial Toymaker(you know the malevolent character who gets pleasure from playing games and tormenting people). He admits that these weird and confusing nightmares were all created/induced by him, as one of his sick games.

So, do we take the countless real-world and in-universe sources OR do we take one jumbled-up, drug-induced Dream Sequence' that is explicitly said to not be real and to be one of the Celestial Toymaker's sick agmes? Hey, this is Tardis Data Core! let's go with the Dream Sequence that contradicts pretty much all established continuity, and block anyone who dares to suggest otherwise!
