Policies

SEXUAL HARASSMENT will not be tolerated, period. Basic guidelines:

If a character says no, that is the end of the matter. You will stop any and all comments/intentions/moves towards this person. Male-female, female-male, doesn't matter.
If someone is bothering you, please tell this person to stop if they make you uncomfortable or if they make it difficult for you to play. If they do not stop, please contact the chief or chief second immediately. They will help you with the situation—this is their job. Situations of this nature will be dealt with privately. If the situation is not resolved satisfactorily, the chief or chief second will refer the matter to the wizard staff.
Elves do NOT rape and therefore no 'forced' sex/TS/TinySex/cybersex is ICly possible in the World of Two Moons. The tenderness shared between elves is always consensual.
No sexual activity will be allowed in 'public' rooms. Current tribal members should have their own tent-den-niche-etc. If you do not have a private space of your own, then please just +mail Rahna with the type of dwelling that you desire. We do have space in the trees, tent space within the Encampment, caves near the Waterfall, or even out in the jungle itself. Requests for unusual locations will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but remember that the geography of the south is pretty well mapped out by now. No unusual spots will 'suddenly' sprout into existence that contradicts what has existed for thousands of IC turns. Please allow a week or so for the builder to create your new space.

Idle Policy

If you idle for more than 30 days without giving prior notice to the chief and chief second, you will be assumed to be MIA (missing in action) and set to the idle roster prior to being idlenuked in one of the global MUSH sweeps. Cat Elves often have a strong streak of wanderlust that flares up now and again, and it is understandable if your character wants to travel north to see the world. If you are off on vacation or temporarily losing access:

Set your VACATION attribute. This can be done by typing &VACATION me=reason for absence and expected date of return
+mail the chief and chief second with a short explanation of your absence. Your character will be moved to the idle roster and set to VAC (vacation) status.
Please move your character to your private dwelling for the duration of your absence. Don't leave him/her to sit in the middle of a public room.

We're here to RP and have fun, not to hunt folks down. We don't want to have to figure out where you've been for a month or so, especially if your character has been expected to participate in an established TP.

Player Relations

Insults or snide remarks directed towards another Cat Elf on the CatElf channel (or any channel for that matter) will not be tolerated. We are members of the same tribe/MUSH/etc., so please show a little respect. Jokes and friendly banter is OK, especially if the others on the channel wish to participate and are not offended by such. I should hope that you know the difference.

Problems can be dealt with either by the people involved or you can bring the problem to the chief and/or chief second. If there is a problem with the chief, the next best person to bring it to would be the chief second and vice-versa. If you feel that you cannot bring the problem to either individual, contact the wizard staff and ask for assistance. This should be a last resort only since the chief and chief second are here to help you and the tribe.

*WARNING POLICY - FINAL NOTES:

If you break any of the rules listed here, or the rules of common courtesy, you will get a first warning. You will be asked to cease the inappropriate behavior and receive every opportunity to state your side of the situation.

If you break the same rule again, then you will receive a second warning and your behavior will be documented in a +mail to the wizards.

Third violations will be dealt with most severely. The offending party will be +exiled from the tribe for the duration of the character's natural IC lifespan and a full report will be made to the wizards at this point.

If you feel that you have been unjustly accused, please speak to the chief or the chief second. If necessary, a wizard can be called into a meeting as arbitrator to mediate the situation together with the tribal staff and all others concerned. We're all here to roleplay and have fun; these rules are here to protect all of you.
