<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">All three of us GM's have been notified of an issue and feel that we need to address this clearly. This message wil be sent to all players as Spiral Spider has already been addressed.</span> </div><br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=202823.msg9917469#msg9917469">Quote from: KariaShinzou on 29-04-2014, 23:06:38</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Rules and Regulations</span><br/>(subject to amendments of the counsel)</div>1. Follow all rules of Elliquiy, end of story. <br/>2. Under no circumstance is your character allowed to be active under the age of 16. Information here. <br/>3. GM word is law. Should you have any issues, complains, questions, or ideas please share. We will give a full explanation and our opinions as to why it can or cannot happen. <br/>4. No killing, maiming, or overstepping personal boundaries of other characters. <br/>5. There is a no ignore policy. See Information. <br/>6. There is a quality and content policy. This is an interactive group replay. We appreciated quality in the room. You do not have to talk everyone, but do put in detail, put in what others give you. <br/>7. Respect O &amp; O’s. <br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">NO IGNORE POLICY</span><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Should you be in scene with a fellow character, you may not drop what you are doing and magically appear somewhere else. (unless both parties have stated in OOC otherwise) </li><li>You are not to ignore charters as they appear. Should someone walk into a room take notice. </li><li>If you are in a public area, hallway, classroom, courtyard, ect. If another character enters the area include them in the action. </li><li>No hording characters.

It is simple, fifth year and above is allowed. As in 5th (16) year from 1988. We understand that there are four missing years and what ever back story you might want to cover. This can be done so in a few ways :: <br/>Restating the event -- "Yeah I remember that time when Semus blew burned off his eyebrows!" <br/>GM Approved Flashbacks -- Here we will discuss what might happen. In no way will anyone under the age of 16 be involved in anything other than G rated. These will be short and not take up much time because we would like to stay away from them. <br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">---GM Words---</span><br/>The GM's KariaShizou, Ojima Usagi, and Tristan Pontis will all always discuss what is going on and how it is. Should we rule on something it will be winner gets 2/3's voice and that is that. <br/>Now if we are speaking OOC as GM's we will state so! It will be very clear and unmistakable so keep that in mind. <br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">---IC Posting---</span><br/>Each and every IC post will have a header. We will provide it, this will allow those active and GM's to quickly and easily catch on to what is happening in the story at any given time.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">NO IGNORE POLICY</span><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Should you be in scene with a fellow character, you may not drop what you are doing and magically appear somewhere else.

As well as time ban and IC dentition once more. </em><br/><br/><strong>Should you break a rule a fourth time Wolfrick will see to you. </strong><br/><em>You will be banned from the rp and not able to return.</em><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As stated in rule three, GM word is law, it takes three GM's to make a vote on anything. We mean ANYTHING. Tristian Pontis is my husband and Ojima is my in-law and sister to Tristian. We live in the same house and as you all can guess, I can get ahold of Tristian when ever I need him. This does not mean that we are bias, nor are we pressured by each other to make decisions. As some of you may know, my husband and I have even gotten into fights over what should and shouldnt happen in the game. Only proving such notion that we are not ganging up on anyone nor attempting to push Spiral Spider away.<br/><br/>We realize that some of you were notified of this game via the PM I had sent not too long ago in order to gain some awarness, if I or Ojima (as she is victim of it as well) have by any chance pressured anyone into this game please let us know, if you would rather not tell us, then we say this right now.<br/><br/><strong>Please forgive us. We did not mean to pressure anyone into this game by inquiring via pm. That is our bad and are very sorry for making you feel such a way.</strong><br/><br/>On another note. All players have recieved at least one news letter pertaining to game beginning, as well as all links involved. Though, if there are any misconceptions as to where they are please let us know and we will promptly send you all things required.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">NO IGNORE POLICY</span><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Should you be in scene with a fellow character, you may not drop what you are doing and magically appear somewhere else.

Yes, the no ignore policy does pertain to in game, and we will be changing it tonight and will be sending you all PMs as well as changing the game information thread to match.<br/><br/>Spiral Spider had recieved a Detention with Filtch because we three GM's felt ignored not only out of game, but after receiving three GM notifications she did not post in game and thus stalled the thread. Even though we have new players now, we would still have had to wait of her to post for by ignoring her and moving forward without her consent would make<strong>US go in direct violation of our own policy</strong>.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>On that note, we will be amending the No Ignore Policy with these added on rules.<br/><br/>1. Every Sunday a new news letter WILL go out to everyone. Each GM will have a question at the bottom that makes sure that you not only read the news letter, but also know that you are reading and keeping up on all posts made in game for it pertains to everyone.<br/><br/>2.If you ignore any news letters or PM pertaining to this game (i.e. post in threads before addressing our PM) we will be subject to Rule Breakers law and put in detention (warning) until such time it is addressed. All detentions can be lifted PENDING ALL GM'S APPROVAL.<br/><br/>3. If you happen to have to take a break from this game, deal with Real Life, or other such, please let us know at your earliest convenience. After void of posting within three days of your last post (in during time others have responded in thread or to you) and you have not let us know anything, We will invoke the Detentions.<br/><br/>~~ If it is an abrupt leaving of the game due to Real Life and you are offline or not posting, we will not give you detention, but would like a simple PM that says 'hey, life decided to kick me in the rump' and that is all you have to tell us and you can continue on playing as normal.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=202834.msg10061648#msg10061648">Quote from: SpiralSpider on 01-06-2014, 05:02:43</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Hello, everyone. I'm sorry for not posting before. <strong>I wanted to make certain that I wasn't missing out on any IC threads before I jumped into the game, which is why I posted here the other day.</strong><br/><br/>I want to thank Sharon for keeping her first post updated with that handy list. However, at this point I'm not certain if I should even bother joining the IC. <strong>I received a GM notice that I was being punished in game for violating the no ignore policy. If it is that easy to violate a rule that I didn't even know I was breaking, then I'm thinking this might not be the game for me. </strong><strong>I know that sometimes I'm distracted with all sorts of stuff and I don't always pick up on game details if they're not neatly put on a platter before me and I don't want to drag anyone down because I'm not as quick on the uptake as others in the game are.</strong><br/><br/>So I hope you all have fun and I really am sorry if I caused any inconvenience. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I hate that I have to address this in quotations, but because this was posted on public thread I have to in order for everyone to understand.<br/><br/><strong>: IN BOLD ABOVE :</strong>We GM's are new at this. Yes the Game Information thread is a little off, but that is a product of being very green in the GM world. Please notify us if you have any misunderstandings or questions/ comments or even constructive criticism for us! It will be greatly received!<br/><br/><strong>: IN RED ABOVE :</strong>We have proof of notification, as such issue has been addressed, though if anyone else is having issues finding all links please let us know and we will promtly link you them.<br/><br/><strong>: IN BLUE ABOVE :</strong>Sprial Spider was given Detention with Filtch. The reason for such is this. By not only inquiring far too late into the game that she had no idea where all threads were after sending her a news letter with ALL links for her, she did not inquire any time before that and was also avidly posting in other group roleplays and other such threads that lead us to believe that she had lost interest. But by ignoring our letters, and ALSO REFUSING TO POST, she not only ignored all of us AND our characters but put us into a stale mate for no matter how many new characters we get, we still could not have moved forward without her.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center">!TO ANY ADMIN THAT READS THIS POST!</div><br/>I had wished not to address this in public, but rather keep it to PM's like Ojima and I had planned, but since Spiral Spider's post was made public I had to address these matters on forum as well as PM's to all other players and on lookers so that no misconceptions occurred. Please let me know if this is the right or wrong way to address such a matter and all three of us GM's will address it as instructed. Thank you for your time.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong>!!!To all Players and Onlookers!!!</strong></div><br/>Ojima and I did not want to have to do this. We both do not like to point out anyone, ESPECIALLY on public forum, but since Spiral Spider's post, this all pertains to you players and onlookers. Please, please, please feel free at any time to message us. We are not upset, and we still want to keep the relationships that we have together as strong as they were before. If there is anything you don't understand PLEASE message us, repeat questions, or IM us on our yahoo's, and we will help with any and all needs.<br/><br/>To Spiral Spider, We deeply regret having to deal with this in public and if we have upset you we are very sorry.  Though to continue on in this game we had to address all issues in your post so that everyone understood even though they were also addressed in private messages.<br/><br/><br/>Spiral Spider has regretfully decided to exit the game, though it was not our intention, we are very sad to see her go.<br/><br/>Thank you for reading,<br/><br/>KariaShinzou, Ojima Usagi, Tristian Pontis
