Do's and Don'ts of the Maiden

 
 
   The Emerald Maiden is an Elysium and the Masqerade is kept
   for the most part.  It is relaxed at times, but usually when it is
   known there is no one around who is unaware.

 
 
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
   1. No GOD characters.

  2. No child characters.  This is a bar after all and since the 
      Masq should be protected the bar enforces the drinking
      age, with a few exceptions, but you would find that in
      just about any establishment.  Since it's feasible for 
      someone close to drinking age to get past the door we 
      have given the Maiden that flaw as well.  But don't be
      surprised if there is question,  ID will be asked for and
      expected. 

  3. The Maiden in a high class establishment.  Although Black 
      Tie and Tails are not required attire, you are expected to 
       behave in an appropriate manner. 

  4.  We do ask, since the Maiden is a public area, that use of
       extreme use of profanity and explicit sex be kept to a 
       minimum in channel.  We are not strictly an 18+ channel.
       Take them to a more private setting.  The Maiden offers 
       rooms or there is also the more romantic setting of the 
       atrium.

  5.  Please keep Out of Character (OOC) comments to a
       minimum.  They can be fun but distracting.  This is a 
       role playing channel after all.  And please keep them in 
       brackets of some sort such as "<< >> or {{ }} or (( ))"

  6.  Inappropriate nicks, meaning sexually explicit or profane,
       will not be tolerated in channel and you will be asked to 
       change it or leave.  Also..please do not be in sexually 
       oriented channels.  You will be asked to leave them or 
       ours.

  7.  No idling in channel unless cleared by an op. And the
       ops will make sure that other ops get the word. If you are
       idle, i.e. sitting in channel without saying or doing anything,
       for 15 minutes, an op will message you and ask that you
       participate or leave. After 30 minutes, unless you clear it
       with the op, you will be kicked from the channel. Having
       an auto rejoin on will get you kicked again and banned
       temporarily until you are back at the keyboard to talk to
       an op and request to be let back in. 

       Sitting in channel and getting the gist of what's going on is
       acceptable and appreciated. Just make sure you let an op
       know what you are doing before you sit quietly. :-) 
 

  8.  Anti Idle or Away Pagers, if you use one, please make
       sure that it is not long or set to a short period of time. Long
       ones and/or ones that are seen often tend to get annoying
       and are disruptive to play. If you use one, your idle time in
       channel is extended to 30 minutes. Then an op will
       message you. If you've cleared it with an op to be there
       longer, that is fine. 30 minutes after the first message, if
       you do respond, you will be kicked from the channel. If
       you have an auto rejoin on, you will be kicked and banned
       temporarily
