Amendment to Resolution #3
Abusive attacks are defined as:
1. Any attack in someones private Residence or Private club (not open to the public) or at a players place of
employment (but only while they are working not just hanging out ).
2. Where a Progeny role player has an expectation of privacy.
3. Attacks consist of any form of attack to harass or bite another Progeny player.
Non abusive attacks would be any Progeny based attack to include but not limited to bites, claws or weapons used by the Grave Designs team to add to the overall Progeny role play experience. These attacks could be carried out on any sim open to the public excluding the Progeny sim and with the exception of any private sim where you don't have permission to carry out such attacks in writing from the sim owner or parcel owner.
We role play creatures that by nature are violent. While out and about Second Life you run the risk of being attacked.

02.16.13 This is a Bill Presented by Rade Plasma Re: Attendance Rules at Progeny Events ________________________________________ This is a Bill Presented by Rade Plasma
"Only those with the gift given by Lachiel; who adheres to the laws and rules set forth by the council of clans shall be present in officially sanctioned Progeny events. Furthermore those who have been slain by any means, have neglected to feed and went into coma, as well as those who have been placed in hibernation shall not be permitted to attend functions or meetings as well."
"Simply put, it will keep in tradition to what with Lachiel has posted before((about the slain, coma and hibernated is the rule he stated)), make sure outcasts and rogues are not permitted, and keep it a strictly vampire affair, which is what it should be in the first place." ________________________________________ Yea 6 - Nay 2 - Abstain 1 Voters: Cammy, Very Sinister, Suraya, Neuntoter Davidov, Raine Mapholisto, Rade, Tirris Inferni, ZoeBlue Braveheart, Mel
