Administrative Announcement
Dear Players here at Fandom High:
Friday brought us several issues and your administration feels that a gentle reminder would be in order.
1. The cap on characters is four. That’s four total. Two students, one faculty and a townie. Two faculty, one student and a townie. Four townies….
Four.
If you have more than four, the administration will be asking you to please set up your extra characters for adoption. We have discussed this with several of you, and adoptions are currently in progress.
This also means that one character is allowed per enrollment. One. Once you have been accepted and have played for a term as either faculty or student, you may choose to offer a second character at the next enrollment. Please note that preference will be given at enrollment for new players… and that the December application acceptance is not open to current students/faculty unless you picked up a character through adoption. Then you will be allowed to submit an application.
2. Deleting your journal for any reason is a one-strike you’re out offense.
The logs in your journal, the responsibilities of your character, your responsibility as a player… all of these are removed, forcibly, when you delete your journal. It affects the other players and the game as a whole.
We will respect your decision to leave the game in this fashion by revoking your accesses, permanently. If you feel strongly enough to delete your journal, we feel strongly enough to remove your character.
There will be no negotiation on this topic.
3. Professor absences without prior arrangement, save in case of emergency, are unacceptable.
Faculty have been encouraged to find assistants or make arrangements for other professors to take their classes. It is allowable to make a notice that you’ll be gone for the week and to simply cancel classes, but we would greatly prefer that you find someone to hold your classes for you.
Simply disappearing, unless there is a true emergency, is unacceptable. If you are gone for more than a week without any sort of word, the administration reserves the right to replace you.
3a. Faculty without completed faculty information/application forms will be contacted on Monday and asked to rectify the situation.
4. The administration is here to serve you. Please allow them to do their job.
Any issue, large or small, can be addressed to the administrators. If they don’t know the answer, they will do their best to find out what it is or, as a last resort, consult and produce an official ruling on the issue if one does not exist.
We are here to be impartial. We are here to be fair. We are here to keep track of the trivia and the minutiae. We are here to make sure the game runs smoothly, not to take sides or make moral judgments. We are here to do the worrying and the agonizing so that you can concentrate on playing and having fun.
It is our job to keep track of the rules and the judgments. It is our job to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Please come to us for these things. Arbitration, the settling of disputes, the answering of questions… these are all a part of our job. These are the bailiwick of the administrator.
As a player, we would ask you to please not attempt to pass judgment on your fellow players. You can come to us, you can refer people with problems to us, you can ask us to make a ruling on an issue, you can bring your issues to us for consultation or just for an opinion.
As a player, it is not your job to step in and, if we feel your actions were unjustified, you will face disciplinary measures. Please bring your issues to us. That is what we are here for.
5. As to the above, please do not confuse In Character reactions with Out Of Character reactions or vice versa.
In Characters Actions result in In Character Consequences and these things must be worked out In Character. If this is not a condition that you are prepared to accept, it is probably a good idea to step away from the game.
