Each Officer is responsible for recognizing, in a timely fashion, a particular subset of Agentic actions. The Administrator is responsible for recognizing actions not specifically within the jurisdiction of any other Officer. Every action falls within the jurisdiction of at least one Officer.

An action is considered recognized when the appropriate Officer responds to it as specified in the Rules. If no response is specified in the Rules, said action is considered recognized when the appropriate Officer records it in eir Nweekly Report.

Fora are the means by which Players communicate. All Fora are either public or private. A Player using a Forum is considered to be "in" that Forum at the time of its use. Actions may be taken only in public Fora, unless otherwise specified in the Rules.

Actions occur upon reaching the appropriate Fora. Non-action events--i.e., events not caused by Agents--occur at exactly the times specified in the Rules. Events may occur only in the present, and may not alter the past.

An Agent may rescind any unrecognized action e has taken at any time by publicly indicating that e is doing so. The recognition of a rescinded action by any Officer is prohibited.

Actions required to be performed by an agent "as soon as possible" must be performed in the order in which they were assigned, and any outstanding "as soon as possible" actions must be performed before any other actions may be performed by that Agent. Actions required to be performed "as soon as possible" are also assumend to be required "within a reasonable length of time".

The time allowed for actions required to be performed "within a reasonable amout of time" varies depending on what is reasonable for the action, but in no case is it longer than one nweek.
