Linkshell Rules. READ THESE FIRST!

- Attendance -

Attending all LS events is required, unless given special dispensation by leadership. Dispensation is given only for the following:

- RL Commitments
- RL Emergencies
- In-Game commitments that are explained at least 24 hours before the event in question. In-game commitments must not be endgame-related in an area that this linkshell currently participates in, or points will be docked.

There is a 50% attendance minimum. If attendance drops below 65%, lotting rights and points earning will be put on hold until attendance improves. Failure to meet at least 50% attendance will result in removal from the linkshell.

If you do not have access to an area in which an event is being held, you are not expected to attend and will not be docked as long as leadership is aware of your active involvement in self-improvement. If you're busy working towards Sky access, we're not going to bitch you out for not coming on a Sea run. However, if all you do is whine that you don't have access to a zone, but don't actively set up your own runs, we will bitch you out. Continued issue with "gimme" attitudes will result in being forcibly evicted from the linkshell.

You are not allowed to attend on any characters but your own. If we see you attempt to gain points on any character except the one you joined on, you will be removed from the shell. No using your brother/sister/aunt/uncle/mother-in-law's account to go to sky when you don't have it yourself. If you have more than one character that you actively use, that you wish to have actively participating in this linkshell, please be advised that leadership must be aware of all characters tied to you. Also, points will be accumulated the same as if they were for two separate players. (e.g. Your WAR is on a different character from your SMN. You wish to come on a run as a SMN instead of on your WAR character. Your SMN's points will be kept separate from any points your WAR has earned.) This is to promote fairness and prevent players using family members' characters from unfairly raising their own points levels.




* Minimum one job at 70+, 65+ for mage jobs.
* Access to the following areas is required for our events. Please notify a sackholder if you wish to discuss special dispensation because of your continued effort to gain access to certain areas:
- Nyzul Isle
- Salvage
- Einherjar
- Sky
- Sea/Limbus
- Dynamis (Northlands access preferred)




* You are expected to merit on your own time to benefit your performance in this shell. Missing LS events for merit parties or campaign battles will not be tolerated for any reason. Also, if you feel the need to level another job that you wish to take to endgame activities, that too will be on your own time. Do not miss endgame events with this shell for experience points, or you will be talked to by leadership.

* Sacks are responsible for bringing in new members, but also for leading/organizing events in-shell. Listen to them, and when they speak in-shell you are silent. Do not contradict the orders of leadership during an event. If you have a disagreement with the way the event is organized or something to add to strategy, send leadership a /tell privately.

* Item drops for events will be announced on the website. It is up to you to read the LS website and decide what you want to bid points on. The only answer to an in-LS "What drops from this fight?" will be "Go read the website." If you do not have access to the website, notify a sackholder privately.


* Your Leader is Corrianne.
Your sackholders are:
- Ashkente
- Illusio
- Evilahru
- Clari
- Killyourlover

Respect them, and don't be afraid to send a /tell to any of them when you have a question or comment.

• Attending LS events is worth 1 point per hour, generally 1 point per NM fight (although it varies). Organizing a farming run for pops or to get people caught up on Sea/Sky access, when leadership is unavailable, will earn you bonus points to be determined by leadership. Screenshots will need to be provided for bonus points to be assigned.
  
  
• There will be two "free lot" ZNM events a month for only members of the shell who have been in the shell for less than 30 days being allowed to lot. No points will be used, but attendance will earn points for members to start out with. Older members who donate pops will be granted the right to keep the trophy from the run. In the event that members who have donated pops will not be able to attend a future run to use said trophy, they may "sell" the trophy to the LS for a set value of points.
  
• Points will be used in silent-auction to the sackholder running the event. Members will send the sackholder a tell with how many points they wish to bid on which item. Winner of silent auction will be told to bid on drop in LS chat if said item drops.
  
• To keep points regulated and prevent unfair point imbalances, members with high amounts of points who haven't used them for item drops will be requested to "buy" an event, receiving the drops of their choice from that event, other unwanted drops going to free lot. The event "purchased" would have to be an event already able to be cleared by this linkshell.
  
• If you cannot meet the 65% attendance requirement through traditional means, certain accommodations can be made. We understand that schedules are fluid with some people's real lives. However, these will be on an individual case-by-case basis, and certain requirements will need to be agreed upon. Standard agreement is as follows:
  
  For every hour you cannot attend a LS run, you agree to put in farming pop items for the LS's next related event. (i.e. You miss a ZNM run, you farm zeni for pops) If it is worked out with the leader that you will be dropping off your pop item to spawn the ZNM, for instance, and logging off after pop item has been turned in, you will be given the same points as if you stayed for the full run. This has been deemed as being fair because, while you are donating the pop and then leaving, you are forfeiting claim on item drops from that event. However, if you are suddenly able to stay after pop item, you have one of two options: you can choose to receive bonus attendance points or can choose to bid on items with your points already attained, but not both. Anyone found abusing this system will be subject to disciplinary action and/or removal from LS and forfeiture of some or all points will occur, depending on severity of offense.
