Frequently asked questions: RPC

What is the RPC, and why are they here?
RPC is a body of players, elected by other players, to serve somewhat
as a body of judges for cases of role play discrepancies, or for reviewing
deaths that are suspected to be invalid. They also moderate many of the
channels and can enforce any of the rules.

How can I become RPC?
RPC members are chosen by the players in quarterly elections. Candidates
that make it to RPC must to show their peers that they have both a keen
sense of good RP and are able to remain neutral during conflicts. Having
disputes with Imms can disqualify you from running, as immortals have
veto power over candidates.

I don't agree with what the RPC decided. What can I do?
In most cases, RPC's vote cannot be turned over by an immortal. In
the event that you feel a biased opinion or viewpoint swayed the
proceedings, you may ask for an appeal from the Player Relations
Supervisor. Appeals made in an attempt to overturn a denied restore
in the hopes that it'll slip through the system will be harshly punished.

Can I help the RPC and gain favor by enforcing the rules like they do?
We generally ask that the players who aren't RPC leave the enforcing to
the Imms or the RPC themselves. Players are free to offer helpful hints,
or even direct people to rules, help files and all that, but in the end
all enforcement, threats and other such uses of `authority` should be left
to the immortals and the RPC.

I don't think (insert name here) should be on the RPC. What can I do?
Either run against him/her next RPC election, or if the case is severe,
contact an immortal with the complaint. If the complaint is legitimate,
the situation will be reviewed. Just remember, RPC members are elected by
their fellow players. They are your liaison to the immortals and your best
hope for your opinions being represented.

RPC show up on the wizlist because they represent LotJ with their
viewpoints. Please give them the courtesy and respect they are due.
