PANG over RAID=

Play, Affilation, Nurtance & Gratitude over Rejection, Aggression, Inferiority Avoidance, Defendance

SO, PANG away...

RAIDers will not be tolerated, so, no abuse, irrevelant spam, harrassment, etc.

However, sarcasm is a gift (as per Cheesehead) and is encouraged among friends. Caveat- If the gift of sarcasm is declined, then the gifter should refrain from regifting.

RAIDers will either receive a warning or instant removal from the network.

Overbooked reserves the right to remove members without notice or reason.
