			== Additional Notes ==
			Every community is different, and even someone who has been a part of the server for a decade can still forget how both ic and ooc communication is preferred here. As long as nothing's done with ill-intent, and isn't repeated incessantly, most players are both forgiving and happy to remind each other, especially when asked.

			* Sending a "tell" is an easy way to communicate with others, usually oocly; however, it should not be done to excess. Most players have a note in their bio noting whether they appreciate tells for whatever stated reason, or outright will ignore them. Sending repeated and unwanted tells is considered harassment.
