Rules and FAQ (original) (raw)
RULES
lovingly adapted from 
tvrealm
1. Be polite to other members, other teams, mods, challenge runners and just everyone. Hostility and attitude towards others is unacceptable. We understand people have different opinions but this should in no way lead to personal attacks on fellow members. Speak to others with respect and you shall receive it. This is an easy going, social, team effort community. If you can't get along with different people/personalities--you don't belong here.
2. Participate at least once every two weeks. This isn't to exclude busy people. Its to keep the teams as even with active, participating members as possible. You don't have to do EVERYTHING. Just SOMETHING. And I always notify members before I cut them out of the community. Please, if you know you can't stay at the community or you need a hiatus notify us in the Page-a-Mod post.

We're inspired after the original land comms like fandomverse, scifiland, and many others. We have three teams and everyone participates in various puzzle challenges like jigsaws, anagrams, mazes, cryptograms, sudoku and the like. Users earn points that are accumulated with their team to see which team, at the end of a three month phase will WIN!
