NOTE: If MoS requests someone to set a trap, it is their responsibility to ensure the trap is dismantled properly and that the ally is aware of our policy if not a citizen of Cyrene.

However, in the case of allies, the MoS is responsible to request traps, and to ensure that whoever is asked to do it knows the need to dismantle and that they are dismantled. If an ally fails to dismantle more than twice even with education and warning, that person's CCG status would be under review. | NOTE: If MoS requests someone to set a trap, it is their responsibility to ensure the trap is dismantled properly and that the ally is aware of our policy if not a citizen of Cyrene.

Citizens are free to engage in legitimate testing of their skills within the city limits, but in private settings only. Public areas like streets, shops, or any other area involving public traffic are off limits. Use your house, your house hall (if allowed), or some room where you can control who can and cannot enter. Citizens and guests should be free to wander the city without having to worry about wandering into a brawl. | Citizens are free to engage in legitimate testing of their skills within the city limits, but in private settings only.

Citizens and guests should be free to wander the city without having to worry about wandering into a brawl. | ||
PARAMETERS OF LEGISTIMATE SKILL TESTING | '''PARAMETERS OF LEGISTIMATE SKILL TESTING''' | ||
#Legitimate testing is not sparring. The appropriate place for full-out sparring or mutual attacks in the spirit of besting your 'opponent' or proving your mettle is, obviously, the arena. | |||
#Legitimate testing is not hitting unsuspecting citizens, mounts,loyals or pets without consent. | |||
#Legitimate testing does not involve the use of potentially lethal skills, even with consent - whether it be dangerous due to the nature of instant kill attacks or the fact that the target may not have adequate health to withstand the force of an attack. | |||
#Legitimate testing is not equivalent to using your skills in jest, which is expressly forbidden within our Twelve Tables. Legitimate testing is, in fact, the serious study of a particular skill or set of skills in a particular situation, with the goal of increasing knowledge of offensive or defensive skills for one or both parties. | |||
Further, citizens are responsible for ensuring that their activities remain private and are conducted responsibly and with full consent of all involved. That means if there are any complaints from someone just standing in the room, wandering in, or, in particular, if someone dies, then the involved parties will be punished accordingly. Accident or no, being responsible means being safe and ensuring no one is going to be hurt by your activities. If in doubt, be safe and use the Arena. | Further, citizens are responsible for ensuring that their activities remain private and are conducted responsibly and with full consent of all involved.

For now, we think we can avoid designating specific areas for testing and rely on the maturity of citizens to exercise due caution and restraint. However, should this policy by abused or insufficient, more restrictive measures will be put in place. | For now, we think we can avoid designating specific areas for testing and rely on the maturity of citizens to exercise due caution and restraint.

NOTE FOR OCCULTISTS: Membership in Rogue Summoners Clan is not allowed for Cyrenian Occultists. In general, occultism is not congruent with life as a Cyrenian. HELP CYRENE and HELP CLASS OCCULTIST are resources in beginning to understand the theoretical underpinnings for this. On a more practical level, Occultists are not allowed to join the houses of Cyrene, are not allowed to join houses that accept devotion-users due to their inherent opposition and the priests and priestesses of Cyrene are not allowed to use their skills to assist Occultists without threat to those very skills. The Divine have made well-known the fact that wielders of chaos are bound to never work against the interests of chaos, interests Cyrene does not welcome within Her walls. Cyrene law does allow precedence for a rare exception to this rule. To apply as a Cyrenian Occultist, you must be over 30 years old at minimum and you must submit a petition to the Senate via the Ambassador. The Senate will vote on all said applications. | '''NOTE FOR OCCULTISTS''': Membership in Rogue Summoners Clan is not allowed for Cyrenian Occultists.
