Message: <blockquote data-quote="Magi_Siani" data-source="post: 2853998" data-attributes="member: 34597">The current Code of Conduct and Tavern Setting Rules came about *after* ISRP was let go by Wizards...so please don't try to connect how things worked there with how they are currently working. Wizards no longer has anything to do with ISRP...we are completely independant. The case could of course be made that the settings themselves, the published settings, belong to WotC and that is true. But we were given permission to use Greyhawk and we added in Planescape and Forgotten Realms at patron request.I wrote both codes...and posted them on the UH forum...and we asked the patrons for comments and ideas. Many apparently didn't get the word that we would relocate to UH despite the fact the ISRP WizOs were passing that word actively during the last days.Both codes were left on site for comment for two weeks. I indeed did rewrite sections based on paton input, especially the clarifications parts of the setting rules.Was it voted on democratically? No. Will it be? No. Were the rules as written objected to? No. Aside from a couple of people who were counter-pointed by other patrons, there was no objection to the rules as written.A lot of people weren't there to look apparently. I'm sorry, but that just doesn't come into the matter now. We were working very hard to maintain the ISRP in the face of uproars at Wizards, team difficulties, and the fact that from that point on, we weren't being paid at all, most of the team was in shock to one degree or another, and we had to find a software and place to put it all. We knew it was going to end before it was released to the patrons.Gabe and I went looking at software. Flashchat was found and Gabe got that. He installed it on his site....voluntarily without being asked. You will notice that of the majority if ISRP WizOs who came over to be Magi....most have been unable to remain involved. Real life and the need for money has cut us down to a tiny few...who do this entirely voluntarily.We don't get paid. You all have a free site to play on, with settings prepared and placed and all the work that goes into keeping something like this running done for you.I think we are all very lucky.As to the Tavern and it's rules...they will remain as they are written until or unless I find really good and compelling reasons to change them. If you all do not like the restricted nature of the Tavern, then you still have the Rotunda and the Grand Bazaar, or Carpe DM and Ahoy! Adventure. Play in the settings that allow your character as you wish it to be. Realize that if you are going to play in the Tavern your character must fit the character restrictions for that setting.
