An Important statement:
Our kin members are very important to us. Since day one we have worked hard to create a fun, friendly, well-respected kinship. We hope it will always be so.
Every decision we make concerning the kin has been thoroughly thought through. Believe it when we say nothing is done arbitrarily or in haste. Often we go back and review our policies to see what is working, and if something isn't working, we change it.
There are many kinships out there, and each is run differently. Some are military in style, some are chaotic, some are well organized....and one would hope that in each kin, the kin leader is considered the ultimate authority in how his/her kin is run.
With that in mind, we put forth the following:
1. The Alliance is Faral's kin. He is The Leader in every sense of the word.
Faral created this kin, he paid rl money to have the name changed to The Alliance, and he spends nearly all his game time recruiting new members.
He always listens to the thoughts, opinions and suggestions of his kin members, giving each careful consideration, but the ultimate decisions are his, and we must respect that.
2. Kin Officers are Faral's trusted helpers, and as such, they deserve respect from all members.
The kin officers often sacrifice their own playtime to help others, but they do like to play as well, so please keep that in mind when you contact them for whatever concerns you may have. If they ask you to please wait while they are involved in something, please do give them the space they need. We assure you, they will attend to your needs asap.
3. Not every kin is the perfect fit for every person. We totally understand this. We understand that if you feel you'd be happier elsewhere, then you should find that happiness.
Sadly, not everyone leaves under good terms.
In a game such as this where we rely on text to communicate, not everything comes across as we intend. Facial expressions, voice inflections, small nuances, things we rely on to communicate effectively, are lost. Things get misunderstood, people get upset, and suddenly someone is storming off.
We are sad when that happens, but we aren't going to chase anyone down to make them stay. However, we do have one request to make in such an occurance, however rare they may be.
Please don't drag the rest of the kin into it. Do not send out a kin-wide mail airing your discontent. These folks are in this game to have fun, not to be dragged into heart-wrenching drama. Please respect your fellow players by leaving them out of unpleasantness.
Thank you,
