This means Council members must be serve as a presence for their clan maintain a very high activity level and are encouraged to do so. The installation of this function is a the descretion of your clan imm and is not automatic at this point.
Policy concerning titles: It is very nice to see that people have taken to using very RP titles. It makes the who list a very realistic represenation of the WoTmud world. We will return to a more lax montoring of titles. It will be left to the immortal seeing the title's discretion. If you are asked to change it, please do so without questioning why. Just take a moment to change it and move on. With regards to using AFK in your title it is still discouraged. The staff is considering a possible mechanism for such, but it is only in the very very early stages of discussion. We ask that you refrain from using it if you do not have to. If you are going for a Coke, don't use it. If your son stuck his finger in a socket, maybe. If you leave your computer, rent if you can rather than relying on the AFK.
Trading/Selling/Begging on globals. First off there will never be a seperate channel for this. However all requests of this nature need to be kept strickly on the chat channel. Keep it off of narrate period. Players should kindly remind people using narrate to use chat for such requests. The request should be made once and not spammed endlessly. Abusers of this are punishable at the imms descretion. Players who are annoyed by such people on chats should use the ignore function. Use of the Bazaar is still encouraged and appreciated.
