VOIP


-TS is pretty much required. If you don't speak, at least join to listen. This considerably expedites dealing with issues such as rehosting

HOSTING


-Fulmen is the host & GM


ATTENDANCE & ABSENCE


-Sessions are scheduled Tue & Thu 19-24:00 CET.

-Being late for more than 3x without informing may get you replaced

-Players must find their own subs if they can't play on a given session, and must also inform the session's GM of the substitution
