The Kingdom of White Horse Welcomes You

And sometimes, this kingdom is reminded of how great a group we have always been:

    Since I came to the game, and this kingdom some wonderful things have happened in my life, and all because I've met some great people like you. There have been days when I've been severely down in the dumps, and chat would open to see bright and cheerful faces laughing, and hugs and just an all around feeling of jolliness. Seeing that, and the warm welcomes, hello's and cups of coffee and cookies are what make my day. They're what put the smile on my face, and I have never felt such a closeness to some people that I barely knew.

    Sometimes all one needs is a laugh, or a joke, even a simple smile to brighten their day and I just have to look at you and there it is, bright as the sun shines over the rainbow after a storm. You've all helped me to overcome my shyness, and fear of meeting new people. I feel accepted like a part of a family, albeit dysfunctional sometimes, but a family none the less.

    I jut wanted to say... Thank You. For being yourselves, helpful, inviting, full of life, light and acceptance. White Horse is now the place I whole heartedly call home, with all of you amazing people. Thank you for accepting me, and all of your help, even when you didn't know it was needed.

Guidelines for Members

Group Chat: 

• HAVE FUN!

• PURPOSE:  Group chat is not limited to only TE related subjects; chat is where most of us "meet" on a regular basis, so it is fine to discuss other topics, socialize, and have a few laughs.  We all know that new players may have questions about the game, so let's help them out if a TE related question arises. For this reason, it is advised that group chat not be consistently dominated by a particular person or small group; not everyone is comfortable interrupting what they may see as a private conversation between a few members. Please be sensitive to this and if necessary, move the conversation to IM or Friends Conference.

• RESPECT: Guidelines are for respectful, civil, and proper behavior at all times. It is unkind to make disparaging remarks or innuendo about members of WH; don't air dirty laundry in group.  The Kingdom also needs to be aware that there are non-WH people in our group chat; so speaking ill of other kingdoms or monarchs is discouraged.  At no time should members verbally spar, insult, swear at, or harass each other in group; if you have an issue with someone for whatever reason, contact them via IM.  If this is noticed by the King or one of the moderators, you will receive an IM asking you to please cease the conversation. If you do not, moderators have the ability to take away your right to post in group chat, temporarily or in severe cases, permanently.  Usually if someone frowns, raises an eyebrow, or if the group goes suddenly silent, it's a possibility that things are moving in the wrong direction.

• Spam/Advertising:  Please refrain from spamming the group in chat and/or using chat to advertise to the group.

• Vulgarity:  With the 16-18 year olds now on the Adult Grid, we need to understand that swearing in group chat is discouraged.  The occasional expletive will be overlooked if it is not directed AT someone; but the overall guideline is, if you wouldn't say it in front of a kid, don't say it in group.  A separate group, Dark Horse Chat, has been created for "off color" topics.  Invites are sent by the King.

• Role Playing:  Please refrain from "RP Speak".

• Group notices are reserved for TE and White Horse related announcements only.  Currently, anyone with the rank of Prince/Princess can send group notices, although this is subject to change as the kingdom grows.  Please limit the use of notices to important, kingdom related events such as:

  • • Trader, Festival, and Alchemist: A single notice should include SL month/year, SL Time. If Trader, also include Pay month (first sighting plus 5 months), and the LM to the trader meet area at the pub

    • WH parties or events

• • Land Tracts (free acres)

    • Players attaining Prince/Princess rank

  • First Dungeon Quest Win

  • Notices should NOT be used for jokes, personal announcements, advertising or anything non-White Horse related.  If you are unsure as to whether or not to send a notice, check with Tremor or Aderyn.

  • Please limit notices during events like Alchemist, Trader and Festival, as they can interfere with peoples' ability to see and interact with their huds.  Make a note of what notice needs to be sent and do it as soon as the event is over.

Special Consideration:  Kingdom of Paine, Kingdom of Winterfell, Kingdom of Hirilorn

Sabotage Policy:  Our policy is: White Horse discourages sabotage.   Yes, sabotage is part of the TE game and some may choose to repeatedly hit our kingdom. That said, I ask you to refrain from it.

If you are sabotaged, you will receive a clue on your hud which is the saboteur's name with missing letters.  If possible, take a photo of your hud and also be sure to tell the people in group chat what the clue is so that we can figure out who sabotaged you.  King Tremor will get your acres replaced, either by the saboteur or their kingdom, or through donations from other players in White Horse.

Liege Changes:  Players and lines move inside kingdoms and sometimes there are some who move to other kingdoms, many with little or no warning.  This leads to confusion, breaking of ranks, and hard feelings.  Working together, I hope we can avoid these in the our new kingdom.

Do not recruit from inside White Horse.  Do not send bribes to White Horse players.  If they accidentally accept them or misunderstand how it works and move, there can understandably be very hard feelings.  Lines have left over in-kingdom transfers.

Please do not approach or joke with a White Horse player about becoming your subject.  That could definitely cause problems and be looked on as poaching.  If you are approached by a White Horse player about an in kingdom transfer please ask if/when they IMd their liege/upline about their problems and their desire, to move and ask them to IM King Tremor.  DO NOT OFFER TO TAKE THEM AS YOUR OWN SUBJECT.  King Tremor must approve all in kingdom liege changes.

Lieges:

I encourage you to work with your players:  stay in touch with them, teach them about TE, give them acres, pay  loyalty rewards, and get them subjects as you are able.  Build and keep a relationship so they’ll feel comfortable turning to you if there are difficulties.  That said, you can’t please everyone and people may leave.  And honestly, sometimes they need to.

Subjects:

If you are unhappy with your liege or feel you need help, please talk to them about it before even considering a move. If you have been unable to reach an understanding with your liege, or feel unable to discuss it with them personally, please make your needs or problems clear to their Liege/upline also and see if things can be worked out there.

Players  have the right to move and do, and if other efforts have failed, please ask them to IM King Tremor Trefoil so we can work with them to find placement in White Horse.  They should  not  just arrange to move.

I understand the lieges will be unhappy at the loss. Players choosing to move to a new leige isn’t poaching, when efforts have been made to correct the problems providing the proper steps have been followed.   So please be nice.  If you know a player who is unhappy with their liege, please encourage them to talk to their liege, upline, or Tremor Trefoil.  Hopefully we can reach an accord for the good of all concerned.

Discount Huds

White Horse has a donation kiosk located in the White Horse Pub (rotating white horse near the stage).  Contributions go toward the purchase of discount huds for new players who cannot afford them.  The purpose of the discount hud program is to bring new players into the game and build loyalty by subsidizing their full huds.
