IMMFIX

Public Notice to all:

`To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.` -Newton

The immortal staff occasionally must take action to balance the game in such a
way so that one side is not grossly overpowered over the other side. Through a
variety of reasons, one side of the war often becomes more powerful than the
other side. We don't wish to disrupt this cycle by forcibly disbursing these
players, so we resort to the following method.
The immortal staff applies the following strategy to balance the game.

1. Coaxing. Example: Fred! I see that you are a strong PKer and that you are in
a clan full of PKers. I wonder if you've taken note of the fact that your clan
has managed to conquer the entire game, and the other side is hiding in a hovel
on a remote world? Perhaps you would like to join

2. Advertising. Example: Hello player base! Tired of sitting around like
Alexander the Great with no territory left to conquer? Well listen up! The
immortal staff is taking sets for 3 exciting new positions!

3. Bribing. Example: Hey game! In order to drum up some interest and get you
all moving around again, we've made a quest with a fabulous give-away. (Please
see help immhax)

When the above fails, we resort to balancing.

If we cannot reasonably get things rolling or balanced, then the only option
that remains is to fix the matter on an immortal level. The Immortal staff is
NOT going to let the game stagnate, We don't care how much it hurts your
feelings. We hold a meeting and we discuss the problem and suggest possible
solutions. Often, those solutions involve set characters who are hired for the
specific purpose of bringing some level of balance back into the game. The
actions we take in the game effectively become a part of the universe. I do not
later yank things away from people unless it is absolutely necessary.

This game doesn't run itself. If you cry to the imms about something being
broken, the immortal staff will try to fix it. That fix is not taken out
because your character joined the other side, or because you somehow didn't
realize how that fix would impact your character later on.

If YOU do not like immortal involvement, then YOU need to take action, form IC
groups and delegate responsibilities to FIX the problem before it becomes an
immortal issue.

Please note: Crying, complaining about, gossiping, speculating, and
blowing-out-of-proportion does NOT count as viable means to correct a
situation. Unless you take IC action, or at least try to take IC action, you
are merely a part of the problem.
