after nice new graphics and cool new content, it is time to update/clarify the game rules a bit. also, there is an update of the staff team.
moderators/admins/creator are now all game masters (GMs). We keep an internal substructure in the team, but for the players, it is now more simplified - blue and golden names mean: these are officials of forgotten tales and as before, follow their rules and advices, please.
i will now update the files here and also, some webpage files. when i am done, i will post the links here, so you have a quick overview:
updated staff list, hierarchy and rules:
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1011&p=16385
updated game rules:
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2560&p=19922
updated applying form:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3931&p=20187
also, we introduce the watchmen group, as you can read in the files. these players help the gamemasters. It is still in alpha status. Former moderator Cleopatra volunteered to lead and develop that group. She is our first watchmen with all her experience as moderator. Thank you!!!

Are watchmen organised in one clan or they are just players, who report everything?

they are players without restrictions, so they do not have to leave their clans. but we will have a chat on facebook (sorry

), where they are and also, staff members.

I would hope from many different clans. Would be nice if each clan had you can go to if you had a problem or you need help ^_^
Not always are GMs available but a Watchmen (WM) could atleast point you in the right direction to get help. Since I am a veteran mod I know what they can and cannot do and who to ask if you help.

GameMasters..... phonetically, it sounds a bit too much like something else.

Phonetically, it sounds like "game-master". Seriously, there's nothing wrong with tweaking things. If the creator wanted to now call them troglodytes, does that really matter?
They're called gamemasters. Respect them, go play, and get over it.
