Policy
Courserrim is a mature Kin consisting of individuals that excel at helping one another. We strive for a casual, comfortable place to spend some free time with friends and play a part in a Tolkien-like world. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Taking part in instances, skirmishes, events and informal role play is encouraged but not mandatory.
The Kin was born out of the Coursera class "Online Games: Literature, New Media and Narrative" and aims to provied a home to all like-minded adventurers on the Landroval Server. Existing or current class enrollment is not a requirement to join the Kin.
All Kin members are welcome to mentor new students of the class "Online Games: Literature, New Media and Narrative" as they arrive and if they arrive. This is completely voluntary and not a requirement of the Kin.
It is the right of the Leaders, Officers and members of Courserrim to amend these policies as necessary to meet the expectations and needs of the Kin and its membership. Any proposed policy changes will be presented to the Leaders and will be ratified by the Members.
