[[..Chancellor Announcements..]]

Healers Administration - Sata (WSataw)
--Greetings and well met. For those who have not met her, she is Sata. Feel free to ask any questions you may hae to me or my assisant.
--With that, I have the honor of introducting the new Assistant Healer Chancellor, Trinity Demonblade (HellFireandIce).

Healers Administration - Trinity (HellFireandIce)
--Just thanks for having me back and it is fun geting back into the swing of things. As always, please feel free to ask any questions.

Smithy Administration - Nathanial (TiefIing)
--It's rare to be able to put anyone on the spot here, but someone in this room is damned. Please welcome the new Smithy Assistant Chancellor, Sable, and her damnation is to work with me.
--Response (SableSteel): Of course! Who better to do so?

Justice Administration - Glacia (Glacia8984)
--As some may or may not know from the forum newsletter, Cindy Demonblade (XDeadlyBeautyX) is the new Justice Department Assistant Chancellor. Please be sure to update your mailing list with this change.
--Futhermore, concerning wartime, if you plan to hav AA's and BH's in your war, let me be perfectly clear, the Justice Department will not overrule the War Council. If a question comes to us, we will be checking with the Oversight and Chancellor before an answer is given.

Magic Shop Administration - Jasmine (VvJasmineNytevV)
--I would like to let you all know the Magic Shop finally has a wonderful reords keeper to keep me on my oes. Brianne for the past two years has been an active student in the Magic Shop and instructor in time of need. She has jumped in over her head when she signed up and I have her straight jacket next to mine when it's needed. Please be sure to include the new Magic Shop Assistant Chancellor on all dealings with the Magic Shop.
--The new schedule was sent out and waiting for responses from instructors, enhancers have been upgraded with correct information, and current rank advancements will be sent out soon.

Magic Shop Administration - Brianne (XIXBriXIX)
--Thank you for the kind words and I will be ready for that straight jacket in due time I'm sure.
--Please, anyone who has questions, feel free to ask at any time. I am more than happy to assist anyone and hopefully between Jasmine and myself, the Magic Shop will be running smoothly and wonderfully for you all.

Unireg Administration - Bry (Bryannae)
--I'm requesting everyone holding regs to look at the master roster on the web portal to be sure that what is listed is what you believe you have. Mistakes have been known to be made, though not by me (I'm perfect). It's best to make sure it matches before there's an event or war. The request has been made many times so the Chancellory cannot be blamed if your lifescroll is wrong.
--Once the month unireg rosters are audited, a list will be sent to the Tresvir requesting all regs that have been frozen for two months be removed.


[[..Member Inquiries..]]

((
Vincent (VincentSValentin)
Q: AoRG allows PowerTools, but does not allow bots Seeing as PowerTools is the same as running a dice bot because they both run outside of the AOL program, why is PowerTools allowed?
A (AstarinNoir): Using PT is not different than using the AOL Dice roller provided by AOL. You still have to use the required typed dice string required by AOL's chat room logic.
R (VincentSValentin): But it would be no different than running a dice bot sence they tell the host the same thing as the dice strings and AOL Dice Roller.
A (TiefIing): PowerTools allows for longer text typed into a chat, and the usefulness of auto logging, but it does not autoroll, or auto add dice rolls.
))

Luka (HauntedofGrey)
Q: Why are there no classes to train outside of magic, for things such as healing and other non-magic work? Also, is the forum open to allowing classes like that to form, if one has a system and curriculum established?
A (AnnisXXII): For the attainment of registrations, the tests are taken directly from the mandates, so it is essentially open book. It is felt that unless assistance is requested, most will pass these tests without having to spend time in the classroom. Also, the Smithy has a series of classes.
A (WSataw): As far as heaing classes go, Healer Delegates have the ability to submit lass outlines to Trinity and I for review. There are current proposals under review.
R (HauntedofGrey): Not exactly what I was addressing. I am speaking of a non-magic counterpart to the class list received periodically for the Magic Shop classes. Is there any consideration given to a set of healing classes or just general knowledge classes?
A (MinyaDkbld): The Chancellory has a large number of classes that have been presented to us for approval, and it is only a matter of time before they are presented to the forum. If you have a course outline, submit it to the administration associated with it and it will go through the approval process.
A (AnnisXXII): Once the classes are approved, anyone could take the classes when they are offered.

Minya (MinyaDkbld)
Comment: Just to be clear, regarding Peacetime AA and BH and locations (rooms) designated as safe locations (rooms). A room that is designated as a Safe Location (Room) for a war is also safe from Peacetime AA and BH attempts. This exemption only exists during the actual running of the war.

Donovan (DonovanLevey)
Q: In wartime is a peacetime contract still in effect?
A (KittieVonJager/Glacia8984): Yes
Q: Are they separate?
A (Glacia8984): If a member is dead, he/she cannot fight.
Q: So can multiple guilds have contracts out on the same person at the same time?
A (Glacia8984): If a peacetime contract is placed before the start of war, the named person falls under the 30-day law, which means he/she cannot have another contract placed on them during the war. However, if the wartime contract is placed first, it is for the length of the war only, and named target is not subject to the 30-day law.

Maddie (Madcatz1): Can a peacetime contract be placed on someone currently involved in a war, that person can then not be contracted by the warring guild?
A (Glacia8984): This deals more with the spirit of the law here. If there is a war between guild A and guild B, keep out of it. No allies are allowed to be used. People may have their own issues with Tom, Dick, or Harry, but do the WC and the warring guilds a favor and let them settle that business before going back to clawing each other's eyes out.

DragonFang (DracScaleWyrm)
Q: While it is said that a match cannot be used to bait and switch to fulfill a war contract, what if the assassin begins an attempt against a valid target who entered the room of their own accord, without having the intention to honor their match as of yet even though their challenged person is present in the location. Would that simply not be a matter of coincidence?
A (KittieVonJager): If the person that was challenged to a match enters the location only to be AAed or BHed, the match would be voided because they were challenged before the attempt. Once the match is over, the AA or BH attempt can be proceeded with. If the person coes in on their own accord that is a different story, but if they were called in to heal or be a mage, that refers back to the first part.
