===I just got banned. RAAAGGGEEE===
==Dealing with a ban==


The message is quite clear:
===Things to do===
* Take some time out to consider how it came to be.
* Consider the nature of this multiplayer community, and the reasons behind it's ban policy. (Or any MP community, for that matter.)
* Remain calm.
* Remember that we're all here to have fun!
* Remember that MP games aren't the 'be all and end all'. Go for a walk in the park. Buy you girlfriend flowers. Talk to, and get to know your neighbors. Help someone. Travel to unknown and distant lands in order to better yourself... (you see where I'm heading with this)
* PM [[Individuals#BlackViper|BlackViper]] if you think there is a problem regarding the nature or circumstance of your ban. (he's the 'top dog', as it were) Just make sure you're coherent if you choose to do so.
