I hate making these, I really, really do. Mostly it's because 90% of you are good, strong players who are respectful of each other and obey the rules and are just here to have a good time. I am so very proud of how smoothly this game runs and how well such a large number of people are playing together. Partly, I hate doing this because it takes a lot of time away from my students and my classes and they deserve my attention, damn it.
However, it's coming time for me to put the hammer down on a number of issues.
Please note, it is non-compliance with these issues that is preventing Townies from being re-opened for application and continues to shove future student enrollment back.
1. All players, Faculty, Students and Townies must have their character's full name, fandom and valid e-mail listed on their info page. An AIM would also be appreciated, but is not required and you may not have an AIM name instead of a valid e-mail.
Please note, with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flinkmeister's generous offer here, there is no reason not to have a listed e-mail.
2. I haven't received completed information forms from a number of the Faculty and there are still Faculty pages with no listed subject, syllabus, schedule, office hours, voice mail.... Please seeabe_no_seimei, drgrissom and equalsmcsquared's info pages for various ways in which this information can be made available to your students. Faculty are also required to have an e-mail/voice-mail link set up and/or office hours.
After October 10, if you do not have accuracte contact information on your character info page, your access to the game communities will be suspended until you do. The same goes for faculty who do not have the basic outline of subject taught and a way for students to find schedule and syllabus information.
I did not want it to come to this and it actually creates more work for me in the short run, but I've tried asking politely, I've tried reminders and it comes down to the fact that apparently some of you can't take 'because it would be helpful to your fellow players, smooth things out for the admin and the game at large as well as a very considerate thing to do' as an answer and actually require some form of punishment before grudgingly granting cooperation.
This isn't any fun for me either, guys. I'd much prefer to be working with my students or thinking up amusing class projects. My idea of a good time is not to be sick in bed with my laptop and, instead of being able to play, having to hunt down the people who are holding the various enrollments and further evolution of the game back.
So please. Carry through with the requested information. It should take you five to ten minutes tops to alter your info page so that other players can find the information that they need.
Thank you.
