When accepted, or applying to our Linkshell we request that you accept the rules that every other member has agreed to.

ALL RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IF THEY ARE AND YOU ARE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO READ THEM WHEN THEY ARE, WE WILL ANNOUNCE WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT THE START OF THE NEXT EVENT THAT TAKES PLACE, AND THEY WILL TAKE EFFECT AFTER THAT EVENT.

Rules that apply to all events

* Members who first join will be placed on a 2 week probation period, during this time we will allow you to receive gear from the LS but only if it is Freelot or AF3 Related, you can not spend points on trial. Also Members can Achieve 5 Armor/weapon/accessory Per month if there is someone else who wants to spend points, they cannot lot. this is to stop loot whoring.

* Skipping an event, because you do not wish to attend for any reason will result in losing double points that the event would have rewarded, or a Pumpkin head II, once you receive 3 of these, you'll most likely be kicked
- added Nov.20th, 2010

* Members are allowed to slip into the negative, but if you wish to spend more points that pulls you under -10 you will be told you cannot lot, if you happen to fall exactly on -10 you will not be able to lot on another item until you have worked your way out of the red and to Positive 10 points, while in the negative you CANNOT lot over members who're in the positive regardless of anything, unless told by a leader for some reason.

* We would like our members to average a high attendance with our events, if your attendance falls under 55% you will be restricted to what you are able to lot, for example;

If your attendance slips to 40% and you want to lot on an E.body Abj, but someone who is after the same item has an attendance of 80%+ you will be unable to lot against them, regardless of current progress on the item, as well as points.

It means nothing to us if you obtain a item of significant value, and we don't get to see it used at events where it could help everyone.

* When we ask you to come a job, we expect you to play the job, regardless of liking, we need certain roles to fill for everything to move smoothly, if you do not show proper action you will be penalized with a Pumpkin Head, and a right up on your account to explain why you have received the Pumpkin Head.

If further failure to show proper action continues after you have received your Pumpkin Head, it will be upgraded to a Pumpkin Head II and further penalization will be followed

* Leaving an event, or AFKing for an extended period of time without saying so, or AFKing for an unreasonable length of time will result in penalty on points obtained from an event, there is no need for someone to AFK for 30-50min if they intend on attending our events, your not only wasting your time by coming, but you end up wasting our time especially if it is on a specific role that we need you on.

* For events that last for an extended period of time, that over laps other events, and extends into very late hours of the night, all members at the end of the event will receive bonus points, as well as points for the events that we had over lapped / skipped.

* Some of our members for certain events use Ventrillo as a way to better communicate during an event, we ask that even if you don't have a mic, or a working mic that you join us in vent, it helps make things go a little smoother sometimes.

* We do use very derogatory language in our shell, and we joke around in our shell a lot at times, we never say something as a direct assault to hurt someone’s feeling… Usually.


Zeni Notorious Monsters

* Zeni Notorious Monsters is a straight forward event of your pop your drop if you have an interest in the drop, if you don't then lots will be open to our members for the points we have set on the items which can be seen Here.. The values of the items are subject to change as later version updates come out, and price & value / rarity / overall usefulness of the item changes.


Voidwalker High Notorious Monsters

* Voidwalker High Notorious Monsters is another straight forward event, if members supply pops for;Dawon, Krabkatoa, Lord Ruthven, Blobdingnag, or Yilbegan they will receive extra points for the event, if the member chooses to take the Trail of Magian item, they will not receive bonus points for donating the pop item,
By donating a pop it does not mean you will receive the ring if it happens to drop


Einherjar

* Einherjar is an event that we do regularly and is absolutely mandatory if you can be online, Members who are after gear from this event, will be handled differently from all other events, a Sackholder, or the Shellholder will review all attendance of the players that want gear, before points.
We do not want to see someone receive an Valhalla Breastplate or an Adaman Hauberk with poor attendance, and risk watching that person leave shell after obtaining it, we are not saying this will happen to everyone with low attendance, but we do not want to take the risk, if you have been a long time member of the shell but only attend Einherjar we will handle that completely differently


Dynamis

* Every Dynamis run will be a sell/split to members who attend the full run, during Dynamis - Tavnazia runs members will be expected to cover the glass, as the turn out of the glass cost is usually far less then what we would see out of any zone, and ultimately.. not be worth spending from our bank.

* All items have a point value on them, if looking up a certain item in our database and it does not appear, it is because we know it is a piece of crap and should probably go to the floor, if a member wishes to take a item not listed from our database because they wish to finish an AF set, a sackholder will add in the item at that time.


Abyssea

* All members attending Abyssea are required to place their desired +1 and +2 items in their search comment, example;

Iga Seal: Head (5/8)
Stone of Vision (0/6)
I don't have +1

Or for Heroes of Abyssea zones use this format:

+1 Hands BLM/ +2 Hands Jewel
+2 Body BLM/ +2 Body Jewel
I have the BLM hands

Do not use any variations of your choosing, its not enough to have all info it must be properly formatted so we can read it quickly with all people’s items aligned as we scroll down the list.

* Changing +1 and +2 items during an Abyssea run before obtaining full item +1 or +2 of that item, and notifying in Linkshell that you have finished, will be followed by infractions, and penalties. If you are caught repeating this action, you will be prohibited from lotting any seals, and +2 items the entire run..

It's not worth doing, we understand some members want +1 items badly, but we expect highly of our members to follow these rules.

* Taking an item for points with intention to sell, or will sell if the value of the item is high, you will be charged double points and be placed on a cool down period before you can obtain another of the same item.

*Priority on lotting will be given to a person who has the +1 over a person who does not.
*Also after reaching half of a +2 set they gain further priority (5/9 for body and 3/6 for the rest)
*The first type of priority (having +1) trumps the second type (having 50% of a +2) when the person with the 50% is lacking the +1. However if nobody has +1, the priority of having 50% of a +2 set, will take priority over Free lot.

*If a person finishes a +1 Item they may change their search comment to another +1 of the same type (hands/legs etc). However this does NOT apply to +2 items, once an item is finished you may not change your search comment
Sea

* All members are expected to attend Sea, we do all jailers, and we also buy pops for certain jailers to get to what we want the most, Jailer of Love.

* Donating Triggers for Sea will yield you additional points for the event, the harder to obtain trigger, the more points.. we don't expect to see any JoL pops but anything that helps us get out of the inside and back outside, greatly speeds up the progress of the shell.

*Note; Some Virtues, Deeds, and HQ organs will be taken, and others will be rejected. This is because of the overall difficulty of some of the items needed to pop being extremely easy to obtain.


More rules, and revisions will be made in the future by Blacklion, Kulx or myself.
