WW General rules discussion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

A few things and it echos with what a few others have said. I should have named this General Guidelines instead of rules. There are a few 'rules' that should be covered and these rules are hard and fast but in general I had hoped this would help the new players understand a little bit better what WW is all about and dip them into the culture. I think we could condense this list into more general terms as I've stated such as the Mod is responsible for the definition of roles etc... if secret twists apply that should be announced, that is that there may be some in the game...really Fea said it well enough.

I cannot believe we all missed this. To vote you need to have a ++ before the name of the candidate you are voting for.

I think a glossary of terms would be helpful and could be the third post and would eliminate some of the 'rules' here. I would rather see this as a kinder and more welcoming guideline to newcomers.

I think we need to keep it Tolkien related. The requirement was never dropped but as I said the enforcement of it has been very lax on my part and if the admins ever looked in on this again it may rankle them enough that talk of shutting down WW would occur. (It has in the past)

I think I had other things but I have a meeting I need to run to.
