Engraving Guidelines

The length of engravings is 31 letters or spaces.

The Mages are delighted to engrave all Mage-engravable items for you
(including gifts such as "Jane's Hat" or "Bill's Bowtie").
If you can't think of a good name, the Mages are more than happy
to help you think of one!

Mages are pleased to engrave containers for prize sets for
Acolytes and Event Organizers.

Only items purchased from the designated Mage Manor vendos,
Memorial vendos or special items with the original ID tag of "Engravable"
or "Mage Engravable" may be engraved by a Mage.
AW items and other prize items will be engraved by an Oracle.

You may have at least five items engraved during each engraving session.
If there are no others waiting in line for engravings, you may have
more than five items engraved.
(If you have many folders, having a list of names prepared is helpful!)
Mages will keep of list of people waiting in line and one person will
be called down at a time, in the order that they have ESPed for
placement on the list.

An item may be engraved only once. Re-engraving is not permitted,
however typos and other mistakes will be corrected.
Please check your engravings before you leave the Chamber!

Engraving will not include any reference to "prize" or prize items,
event names, or any letters/words/phrases which might be obviously
construed as an item intended to be used as a prize in an event, game,
or contest.

Engraving will not include letters, words, or phrases, which spell out or
imply direct references to VZones, Stratagem, staff titles, or names.
For example, "Acolyte," "Caretaker," "Oracle," "Brother," "Muse," "Mage" etc.
will not be allowed. Exceptions are storage containers for Group gift items.

Engraving will not include direct or indirect sexual references, profanity
or negative references to individuals, groups, or other parties both in world
or real world. Any other letters/words/phrases which would be obvious
violations of Terms of Membership guidelines, or obviously and grossly
in poor taste or objectionable to any reasonable person will also not be permitted.

Engraving will not include letters/words/phrases which in any way would
be deemed to damage Stratagem, their products, partners, employees,
agents, or other affiliated parties and individuals.

It is the duty of the Mages or Oracles to make the judgment on whether
or not an engraving will be permitted. Appeals to this judgment may be
made to Oracle Trashka (WM), whether the objection is about an item
that has been engraved, or an engraving that was denied.

Exceptions to the above rules will be made rarely, and only for publicized
one-of-a-kind events or occurrences as the Oracles see fit and approve.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us to follow the above guidelines.
