The following rules apply to membership to ClanAM End-Game LS:
ClanAM proper is still the focus of ClanAM, thus, you have to be a part of it. Participation simply means you help out with events and things. Participation does not just mean you show up and talk in the LS.
UPDATE: ClanAM proper has ended, this is no longer a requirement.
The simple fact is that any activity that doesn't require you to be 65+ is best handled by ClanAM proper. Thus, the ClanAM End-Game LS activities are strictly for people at or near end-game. We're not being elitist here, it's just that unless you are at or near end-game you wont help much.
ClanAM proper is the place for socializing. The End-Game LS is to only be used when events occur. Likewise, during End-Game events, the ClanAM proper LS chat should not be used for the event.
This is really just a logistical requirement. If everyone over 65 switched LSes to socialize then ClanAM proper will become a lonely place. Conversely, if ClanAM proper was filled with End-Game event communication then it would be disruptive to the normal ClanAM chat.
Other than these rules, we may have to come up with more as time goes on. But we will only apply new rules if they do not conflict with what is in our Manifesto.
Aside from the rules above, we have some general policy notes you should be aware of.
Many HNMLS and end-game LSes place requirements on their members that they cannot fraternize in other LSes. We've already talked about how idiotic and childish this is, so we wont go into it again except to mention we don't have that requirement.
Between events the ClanAM End-Game LS should be very quiet and empty. Thus, if you really are hurting for space, you can request a new pearl before every event.
Of course, I'd still highly recommend just keeping your pearl between events as trying to get ahold of a sack holder before and event will always be an iffy thing.
This should go without saying, but since so many other HNMLSes seem to expect this I'll say it anyway.
ClanAM is run by adults- Adults with lives, jobs, families, and things outside of this game.
If ClanAM cannot satisfy your end-game needs, then go elsewhere. We will be very strict on how many end-game events we hold per month, so if you are someone who has the time and absolutely must have an end-game event all the time, then we wont be able to help you.
ClanAM is run by people with busy schedules. We don't aim to be "the best end-game LS", we just aim to have fun in what little time we have together.
