Why are there so many news files? I don't wanna reeeeeeeeeeeead all this!
Every single entry in the news files (not including the general information and typical files found) has come up as a question while Crossroads was being built. We felt that each one of these points needed to be addressed, even if it meant a long list of wordy text.
Each news file that goes up will hold an important fact for rp. Everything in the news files regarding the theme and general set up (such as marriage) should be generally known by the public (players of Crossroads). The whole detail that's available can be daunting, so we recommend reading the pages about The Five Isles and Theme before taking a stab at the grid.
We do feel that eventually you'll want to read most of these files, and hope that you get a chance to do so!
TOS
This game server and its websites ("Crossroads MUSH") consist primarily of user-contributed content. Crossroads MUSH is a game, wherein several forms of interaction between persons are available - IC, OOC, and RL among them. For our purposes, IC conduct is defined as conduct engaged in by a fictional character created by a real person. OOC conduct is defined as conduct engaged in by a real person using their fictionally created character, that is 'out of character' or not affecting game play. Finally, RL conduct is conduct engaged in by a real person and not the fictional character they have created - activities typically done when using e-mail, instant messengers, or activities done away from a computer.
In accessing Crossroads MUSH, you accept that you may not engage in any RL conduct or communication while using Crossroads MUSH which is unlawful or which restricts or inhibits any other player from using Crossroads MUSH. Players agree to use Crossroads MUSH only for lawful purposes. The list of prohibited conduct set forth in Subsections (1) through (7) below provides a few examples of unacceptable conduct. This list is by no means exhaustive and the staff of Crossroads MUSH reserves the right to prohibit or delete characters, or to ban users from Crossroads MUSH, or to delete or alter any communication deemed likely to harm individual players, or the MUSH.
