Rules

1. All turns should be sent to the Dungeon Master and relevant player characters. The DM will forward mails to the Lurkers.
2. Private messages between characters (when plotting, whispering, etc.) should also be sent to the Dungeon Master.
3. The subject of the e-mail should be set as follows - HOR:Character:Turn Title, e.g. HOR:Frodo:Puts on the Ring. This will make things easier to follow for all concerned and aid collation of replies while running the game. This will be a strictly enforced policy and those who repeatedly ignore it do so at their peril.
4. Do not write your replies within other peoples messages as this can become confusing when the same message, sightly modified, is passed around. Always write a new response unless absolutely necessary. Again this is to make things easier to follow and help monitoring of the game.
5. Always write in character, but if players want to make an 'out of character' comment, then prefix it with 'OOC:' to make things clear.
6. Do not use rude or insulting language, except in respect to role playing in the game, i.e. insulting a monster, enemy, etc. This will be grounds for dismissal from the game.
7. If at anytime a player has a grievance with the way the game is progressing, it's mechanics or another player, etc. then the matter should be discussed with the DM. The DM is open to discussion on all issues in a frank and constructive manner. Abuse of the DM or another player in any way will not be tolerated and will be grounds for dismissal from the game.
8. If a player is unable to send turns in for a time, i.e. they are away on holiday, etc. then the Dungeon Master (or even an eager Lurker if necessary) can take over the player's character until they return.
9. Any player who does not submit a turn for a period of two weeks without prior arrangement will be dismissed from the game and replaced.
10. Anyone who drops out of the game or is dismissed will leave an opening which can be filled by any willing Lurker. The Lurker will be chosen according to next best character submission and they can either continue to use the vacant player's character (if the player is willing for game continuity) or the Lurker's own.
11. All game play rules will be based upon D&D 3rd Edition and from the source books listed below. Note that just because a book is listed does not mean its rules and options are necessarily valid in the game.

12. The Dungeon Master's decision is final in any ruling.
