HOM Rules

We are glad you are thinking of joining, or have joined, The Hall Of Ma'ati!




1. Site must be FAMILY SAFE, artwork with partial nudity is acceptable.
Please use good taste!!

2. Sites must be in English or have an English translation available.

3. NO Bandwidth stealing, all images must be on your server, this will be checked.

4. NO HATE sites, no foul language, no racial or religious slurs.
No links to sites containing any of these.

5. NO business sites.
There are exceptions to this rule, if you have a personal site and you have a side business,
ie, selling incense, candles, oils, tarot, psychic reading, books...these will be allowed....
your site CANNOT compete if it is ONLY about your business, as this is free advertising,
and we are not a forum for this.

6. Site must have an email address accessible.

7. NO links to MP3, warez, cracks, South Park, or anti-security sites.

8. NO broken links or images, this does not include outside server downtime.

9. Once approved site MUST have the ystickal Realms Approval Banner and team vote button.
Links to graphics can be found on the Hall Of Ma'ati Main Page.

10. While in ACTIVE competition, No MAJOR modifications of theme or content of your site will be allowed.
This will be checked periodically without notice.

If any of the above occurs you will be temporarily suspended from active competition
until the next fighting week begins, with NO level advancement.
Modifications allowed during competion are, adding awards, ve links, supporter buttons etc...
any questions contact your team leader. MAJOR modifications can be made on Saturday and Sunday.

11. LOA/ELOA

Any competitor that needs to take a Leave of Absence (LOA) must notify the Team Leader NLT 6:00 PM EST on the Saturday before the fighting week.
In your LOA request you need to include your reason for needing time off and for how long with a return date.

The same goes for your Returns from LOA.
I know it is not always possible,
but it would be nice for you to send confirmation when you return from your LOA
and let us know you are ready to fight the upcoming Monday.
In the event you do not, your site will be put as active for the date your request advised.
If your site is due to move to or is currently in the Champ Rounds,
you cannot go on LOA. In the case of an emergency (Illness, Death in Family, Work Issues, etc.)
your site will be returned to Level 4, Kyenty - Imentiu.
If your LOA is voluntary (such as for taking time off for Family Vacation and other non-emergency type issues),
your site will be returned to Level II, Hall of Two Truths.

If you are already in the Champ Rounds and request an LOA or ELOA,
you WILL be returned to the team level, no exceptions.

In fairness to all of our Competitors,
a fighter cannot take a Voluntary LOA that is longer than 2 weeks.
Some members have abused the reason for taking LOA's
so we have to implement more rigid guidelines.

If you feel you have a valid reason (Illness, Death in Family, Work Schedule, Computer Issues, etc.)
that require you to take an LOA for longer than 2 weeks of competition,
you must submit a letter to me explaining the reason you need more than the Standard 1-2 week LOA and the expected date of return.
I will put your site on 2 weeks LOA then will forward the letter to our Owner, Demonosia, for approval.
If your site is approved for the Extended LOA, an approval confirmation will be sent to you and you will be set.

Once your ELOA is up, you will need to contact me by the return date that you put in your initial request.
If you do not, you will be sent a letter of warning --
no response to the letter will result in your site being removed from the Team.

If your request is not approved and/or your site is removed from the Team,
you can resubmit your site at a later time.
If you wish, you can request to be put in Alumnus Status
which will enable you to receive the HOM Newsletter to keep you up-to-date!





12.VOTING RULES

Competitors must vote for themselves daily,
if you do not vote for yourself at least 3 days,
after 2 weeks you will be dropped to level 1 (Old Kingdom) in competition
unless you inform your team leader why you are/were unable to vote.

If you do not vote every day (after you drop to Old Kingdom),
your site WILL BE REMOVED from competition,
and you will need to re-apply at Mystickal Realms.

To remain at your current level,
you must vote at least 3 times per week.
You WILL NOT advance.

TWO WEEK MAXIMUM STAY AT LEVELS 2 - 4,
even if you vote all five days!!!

If you are at Level 1 (Old Kingdom - Qualifiying Round)
and do not vote daily, after 2 weeks,
you will be REMOVED from competition
unless you notify the Team Leader why you can/could not vote for yourself.

If you wish to return to competition, you will have to reapply and start again
at the qualifying level.

Once your site moves up to the Championship Rounds,
if you do not vote for yourself ,
you will be disqualified and sent back to the 2nd level of your team.



13 In compliance with COPPA

no one under 13 may sign up to compete, make submissions to contests,
or volunteer to be staff without first supplying us with a parental consent form.
Please mail us for info on parental consent forms.

14. Competitors moving up to the Champ Rounds, if you win the Alchemist level
THREE WEEKS IN A ROW,
you are the Mystickal Realms Champion and are eligible to return in January to compete in the
Tournament of Champions! Your site after winning 3 weeks in a row will be retired
and can not compete until returning to compete in the tournament.
However, if you have another site that you would like to submit, please feel free,
we would be glad to have you!!

We encourage vote exchanging with other competitors.
This is a great way to meet new people and make friends. However, we do not encourage or endorse
Blind Voting and do not under any circumstances allow SPAMMING!
Anyone caught or reported to be engaged in spamming will be immediately disqualified from the competition.

Any disputes or difficulties with other competitors should be brought to
the attention of Demonosia, Vampire Prince or Dr. Necessitor immediately.
This is just for fun and we want to keep it that way!!

MOST OF ALL....HAVE FUN!!!!!
