Issues

Written by: Administrator Megaera
Date: Wednesday, July 5th, 2006
Addressed to: Everyone


This post is to serve as additional information about issues and the
ways they are handled in hope to eliminate non-issues and any player
frustration thereof. Please keep in mind that no two issues are exactly
alike and thus all information pertaining to issues is given as a
guideline and not as specific regulations.

Issues are not meant to be a first-resort solution to IC situations.
Please employ the resources you have available as a character before
issuing.

Include as much relevant information as possible in your issue. Although
we aim to speak to both parties involved to receive more details, the
outcome of an issue depends very much on the information you provide
(either as an issuer or an "issuee").

Always remember that you are speaking to the Administration in your
issue, and not the person whom you are issuing or responding to. Do not
use profanity.

Always make an in character attempt before you issue someone. If the
issue is submitted 30 seconds after your death and/if the "issuee"
responds with proof of motive, it will be assumed that you have not made
an IC attempt.

While one-death issues will be reviewed, they will most likely not draw
the involvement of the Administration. One example of an exception to
this guideline is if a player kills numerous players - once- without a
motive.

Issues regarding attacks only will be dismissed.

Please keep in mind that administrative punishments and the like are a
combination of the current issue and your past history with similar
situations.

DO issue emergencies. DO NOT issue bugs or ideas. HELP BUGS

Always reply to issues. If no reply is given, it will be assumed that
you are admitting your guilt.

Issuing is an out of character method of dealing with a situation. If,
for example, you are issuing and then attacking that said person for
their actions, the issue will be dismissed as you have dealt with in
through in character means.

Do not issue for another player. Third-party issues will be dismissed.

Being hired to kill someone, by itself, is not enough of a motive.

Spurious issues are frowned upon and may draw a punishment from the
Administration.

Please message any questions to myself or Alecto.
