I'm posting this now, just to avoid any confusion about the Welcome to Funderland scene - there were just to many new arrivals for us to ICly get a proper feel for you all, and with the change to the Freehold Oath - that it's gone - means that gaining Status 1/Freehold Membership isn't as easy as it used to be.
So obviously we're going to have to change things, and by change things, I mean we're going to be doing it like it's been done everywhere else!
One on One Scenes where the new 'lings are vetted by one of the Freehold's Hierarchy - Notary, Director, or Groundskeeper.
It'll encourage more RP, which can't be a bad thing!
