OFFICIAL POLICY: Casual Chain

Post by kerosene » Sun Jun 29, 2003 11:11 pm

Casual Chain Policy and Code of Conduct

Ethos
The purpose of the Casual Chain is to enhance the enjoyment of Last Dynasty members who, through choosing to abide by a few rules, will be able to better use the game mechanics to receive far more XP than they would otherwise. Casual Chain Management seeks to administer the Casual Chain in such a way that the interests of the longstanding and loyal members of the Casual Chain will be protected at all times. Administration will be fair and open, and constructive criticism will be welcome.

Requirements
  1. Read and agree with the Clan Code of Conduct
  2. Have Decal and Ac Stats installed, along with they Last Dynasty registry file. For more information on how to meet this requirement see AC Stats Guide
  3. All members are expected to active member of the chain and clan.
  4. All members over 50 must have their Loyalty buffed to 200+ at all times, along with having an effective leadership of 163+ at all times see chart below. Any exceptions to this must be approved by the Chain Management.
  5. Checking the boards every day! This does not mean that you have to read every single post and respond, but it is imperative that people frequently check for posted chain moves. Such posts will be titled ATTN: <name>, <name>, <name>
Quota
There is no set qouta for the chain. However failure to passup 93.75% of what you recieve will be considered failling qouta. 93.75% is base passup for anyone with there loyalty buffed to 200+ and an effective leadership of 163+. Maintaining Quota is the responsibility of each individual chain member. Each member should know exactly where he/she stands where quota is concerned. If you are having problems let some one know.

Insertion
The insertion of new applicants and re-insertion of former chain members will be happening almost all the time. There is no "special insertion day" Therefore, it is that much more important for all members to read the boards. It is the responsibility of all chain members to swiftly insert new members.

Promotion
Once you have been in the chain for one reporting period (21 Days) you may ask to be promoted past your patron if you have out leveled them by 5 or more level. You may be promoted again if you out level your patron after one reporting period.

Removals
You can be removed from the chain with notice if you fall in one of the following areas listed below:
  1. Failure to act within a timely manner to moves
  2. Failure to update Ac Stats
  3. Failing below 100% by 5 Million or more on the Status report page
Casual Chain Board
Use of the Casual Chain Board is mandatory. This is the place for all communication. Failure to check the board may result in temporary removal from the chain, and could occur when the management is inserting or removing others around you. We recommend each member try to spend at least 5 minutes a day browsing the board. Failure to use the board is explained below.

Here is a quick guide to using your time efficiently on the boards.
  • Record and learn the names of the individuals three spots above and below you in the chain. (Consult the chain listing for this information)
  • When browsing the boards, read all threads titled "All members read", or similar verbiage, first.
  • Secondly, read any thread with "ATTN: [name], [name], [name] in the Subject, where one of the names are yours.
  • Thirdly, read any thread with "ATTN: [name], [name], [name] in the Subject, where one or more of the names are on your 3-up and 3-down list.
Additional Toons
We will allow exceptional members to place additional toons into the chain. This is an excellent opportunity to level trade mules. A determination of "exceptional" will be made by the management.
