Respect
Guidelines concerning respect towards Immortals, Administrators, and Implementors on Dark Risings. Consider these few lines mere examples. This is not meant to be all-inclusive.

1.At all times while playing here, in character or out, good mood or bad, right or wrong, you WILL treat the staff here with all due respect. If you do not, you will not play here any longer.

2.If you feel that an immortal or administrator is abusing their powers, pushing you around, overstepping their bounds, etc., LOG the incident and post it in a note to IMP. Explain in your note the context of the log and your point of view concerning what it demonstrates. We'll investigate the matter and handle it appropriately. Any snide remarks, insults, sarcasm, etc. toward the staff member will do nothing but weigh heavily AGAINST your point of view.

FAQ:

Q: Why must my character, who hates , treat immortals with respect while in character?
A: Because all immortals hold the power to slay you in a single stroke. So, yes, you may be disrespectful in character, and yes they may slay you or turn you into a statue for it...in character.

Q: Why do I have to maintain a respectful demeanor at all times, even if an imm is being to me?
A: Because the staff here works very long hours, for no money, to try to make this an enjoyable game for you to play. If there is a misunderstanding, their rank and status on this MUD grants them some leeway. Staff who abuse this leeway will be demoted or fired if they keep it up. Your remedy is stated clearly above. Log it. Report it. Let us deal with it.

Q: What do I do if it's an IMP who was to me? Who do I turn to then?
A: www.mudconnector.com Plenty of other muds listed there. We would much rather a MUD with 10 people per night who make playing here fun than 50 people who act like jerks, harass our staff, and make playing here NOT fun.
