Questions on subscribing to the mailing list, sending posts, unsubscribing, and changing your e-mail address.

RP via IM Clients is Illegal

Any play-by-email club formed after the gaming rights were sold to Grolier UK (later than 1996) cannot have ANY form of "live" role play. This includes writing stories via AIM, AOL, ICQ, or any other live chat program you might have. All role play MUST be done via email only, and this is a very firm rule from Anne McCaffrey herself.

If you are a member of a club doing this that was not founded 1996 or prior, they are operating illegally and risk being shut down should the lawyers for the gaming company or Ms. McCaffrey find out.

Any Triad Weyrs member caught doing this will be expelled, no questions asked.
