[[..Chancellor Announcements..]]

Unireg Administration - Bryannae (Bryannae)
--Unireg Roster has been updated on the AoRG Portal. Any questions should be directed to the Chancellor.

Events Administration - Minya (MinyaDkbld)
--Reminder that Guild Leaders may revise their list of individuals who should receive event related mail by sending a message to Minya, Lirial, Cindy, Raz, Annis, and Kyttea.
--Also, there are no current openings in the Events calendar for this year. For any guilds that have no hosted, a suggestion was to seek out guilds with approved events to perhaps co-host.

General / Healing Administration Announcement - Annis (AnnisXXII)
--Healers Administration is currently closed for restructuring. Announcement will be made when it is reopened.

[[..Member Inquiries..]]

Nathanial (TiefIing)
Q: Concerning land wars, is that type of war simple a term in the War or is it a completely separate style of Declaration of War?
A (KittieVonJager): As far as land goes, it would be a part of the spoils in the terms of war, though it would not hurt to mention something in the DoW either.
Q: Do it would have to be agreed upon by both guilds?
A: Yes.

Cassy (DrkCrimsonTearz)
Q: Wishes to implore the Chancellory to reconsider the amount of matches people can participate in together in an event. It was difficult to find matchs for the Lady Luck event.
A (MinyaDkbld): The topic was covered by Raz's recent Executive Orders. They were create in order to control the amount of exclusivity. All MS matches must have two or more
guilds involved; no three particpants can do more than five matches together in any one event; and only fifty percent of matches by a proctor may include only the proctor's guild.
Q: I do understand the rules, but wishes the Chancellory to reconsider. There are those who play by the rules as they were intended and are being punished because of other's misdeeds.
A (MinyaDkbld): What are you looking for exactly?
Replay (DrkCrimsonTearz): Reconsideration of the rules for those who are innocent and do not abuse the system.
A (MinyaDkbld): You wish us to throw the book at those who are not guilty of breaking mandates because you don't believe they behaved fair? Raz's orders were issued as a response
to the issues you've raised. This is the problem, because Raz made those orders, the guilds you see as being guilty were not breaking any mandates.
Q (AnnisXXII): What penalties are in place now for those who break the mandate limits?
A (MinyaDkbld): The matches outside the limits are voided.
Q (AnnisXXII): Does it help, Cassy?
A (DrkCimsonTearz): No, it doesn't, but thanks for trying.

Trai (TraiTRune24)
Q: Curiosity question, but would a small reason for the new laws also be to cut down on the rather overwhelming amoutn of paperwork that the overseers of the event have to handle as well?
A (MinyaDkbld): The President's third order actually increases the paperwork, but there is hope it will alleviate some of the daily mail received.

Glacia (Glacia8984)
Thought: Note that the letter from Raz said it was a temporary order until the new event mandates are written and approved. There are two teams working very hard at preparing
well-thoughtout and fair mandates for the forum. Many may not agree with the law, but the events Chancellors also need a break so they can also write these mandates instead of checking
over a ton of event logs all the time. I believe it is a fair trade off for well-done mandates and still have events running.
