Vlad Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Posted June 7, 2005 Q: What is the Chatbox and how can I use it?A: The Chatbox is an immediately updated area in which people may feel free to toss out any idle comments, or general thoughts, they have.

Vlad Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Posted October 7, 2005 Q: Now that I can contact other members, who can I ask about the Important Decisions here?A: All of the biggest decisions are made by the membership because that's who they will impact the most.A proposed change or decision usually begins as a discussion in the forums. If a group consensus is not reached, then the issue will go to a vote among those designated as the voting membership. Functional or Structural changes may be decided by the Elders, advised by the Ancients, and are implemented by the Admin. In rare case of a tie, the Loremaster holds the deciding vote. Back to top
