      IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129    | The Story of His Lordship's Throne Room Many of you will be thinking that His Lordship is crazy for making such a big fuss over pixels in his house. Why would Gene go to the pains of creating these complex, meaningless rules, for no good reason? Truth be told, it is not just a room. It is the room in which great changes take place in WG. The act of transforming an ordinary thing into something sacred is best done in one particular way: making it taboo. If you impose rules on something ordinary, it becomes something special. That's why churches have such reverence about them. Culturally, we are taught the rules governing our conduct inside them. They are quite simply, ordinary buildings, made special by cultural laws. What's the point of transforming a throne room in such a way? Well, if something did happen inside that room, like a very important meeting, or a ceremony... well all of a sudden it's a big deal. One goes in there, and you can feel the sense of importance. And it is true, some very powerful moments in this clan's history have occurred inside that room. __________________________________________________________ Rules of the Throne Room There are two categories of rules. Major rules, and minor rules. Punishments are put in place for the breaking of these rules - If no punishment existed, nothing would stop the rules from being violated. As harsh as many of you may think this is, you don't have to go out of your way to follow these rules, so unless you were looking for trouble, you shall not find yourself needing punishment. MINOR Rules
Punishment for Violation For minor rules, punishment will be several warnings, followed by removal from His Lordship's friend list, rendering the violator unable to return to the clan house, and a forum warning with the appropriate level of suspension applied (60% = 3 days, 80% = 7 days, 100% = expulsion) For major rules, punishment begins immediately with removal from the friend list and a forum warning, and there are no verbal warnings. Trial members are exempt the first time it happens, as they are not yet expected to know the rules. The trial member will then be alerted to the rules. A second violation carries the same penalty as all other ranks. You may question at this time, why the punishment is so harsh for what may seem trivial. Realise, then, that in order to break these rules, a person has to deliberately go out of his way to challenge His Lordship's authority. The throne room is a seperate room to the rest of the house, and a member must physically enter the house in order to break the rules. So there is no accidental rule breaking. Anyone breaking the rules, especially the major rules, does so deliberately, and with the intention of challenging the rules set down by His Lordship. Undermining the leadership in such a way is a great sign of disrespect. ________________________________________________________________ As these rules are unique to WG, there may be questions. This topic remains open so that those questions may be asked. --------------------  | ||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | Nice rules and I can see why you have them. Even mumble meetings can go array at times. In game should be a great experience for us. It will be my first meeting in your throne room. Quite an honor and privilege. The chaos of the throne room and your kicking people at the anniversary was an experience as well. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.” ~~Colin Powell ~~  | ||
