The following is to make this an official pbm game.
This posting takes precedence over all other rules of this game
regarding posting and mail priviledges for players, meta-players,
the meta-meta-player, and the meta-meta-meta-player

It is now Friday, June 23 2:00am EST real-time

Since the game system that is being used is
a) for a game
b) private instructions are sent by e-mail
c) has a game round of 1 minute as standard (AD&D(TM) by TSR(TM))

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Player's Handbook, by Gary Gygax (c) 1978 - TSR Games,
p. 42 (1st column, 8th paragraph)
"When your party is in an inhabited area....each move is 1 minute long.
This assumes that no map is being made."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been forced by powers higher than
myself that every game round could be posted
to rec.games.pbm

All postings must summarize what your character
overtly did/said that game round.

If you suspect that a simultaneous action by another player will occur,
then you must mail me your actions for that round, and I will accumulate
the multiple actions done that round and include what is said/done
by each character in public for that game round with the
covert actions remaining in email.

----------------------------------------------
An ominous figure appears with 4,000,000 crack troops,
and one fat Vogon Guard shouting "Resistence is useless".

The ominous figure than speaks to the beings before him:
"I am instituting martial law inside the game-world
of The Broad Axe Tavern, Ghlerhovllen, Aborige,
dated: today, 6110 A.D. at 12:10:06.237 pm."

The transdimensional GM's secret guild police
places everyone in this game world
under arrest for having too much fun.

All players must mail their UP-TO-DATE
character sheet to me, upon reading this
message (and last minute corrections).

E-mail your PC to me, with the following
subject line:

ARRESTED: <PC> Charged with <N> counts of having too much fun.

Where your <PC> will be booked in ...ghlerhovllen-dir-pins-dir
and placed in a holding cell in ...ghlerhovllen-dir-holding-dir

The GM will then review each file in turn, and you'll be
processed according to your right of due-process.

Those that are marked 'suspicious' will be mv'ed to interrogation-dir,
and questioned by the meta-players and above ranking
personnel.

Those that are not marked 'suspicious' or survive
interrogation are then mv'ed to unofficial-dir
and your level, and other little things are checked.

Upon successful inspection you will be mv'ed to official-dir
and your special equipment will be inspected.

Upon successful inspection you will be mv'ed to equipped-dir
and released back into the game-world that is now
run under a large clock face.

Take care and have fun,
