Introduction & List Rules 
This document outlines the creation and procedures governing the lists for the Time of Reckoning
Chronicle. This document provides the general rules for the lists, a brief description of each, and those
individuals eligible to join the lists. The purpose of these lists are to support the networked game; to that
end, rules for simulation are provided and may be adjusted at the discretion of the MES NST staff.

List Guidelines
➔ A member may only join lists that their Database Approved Character(s) (they must be in the DB
attached to a VSS) are affiliated with, such as Clan, Sect, Position (if applicable), and Faction (if
applicable). Members found to be on Lists that they should not have IC access to can result in
disciplinary action. You cannot join Lists if your PC is pending Approvals.
➔ A member is responsible for removing themselves from Lists that they should no longer have IC
access to (via character death, Sect changes, loss of an Alt ID, etc). Failure to do so can result in
disciplinary action.
➔ When joining a List, you must write in the justification section your Character’s name, indicate
they are a part of whatever group the list is about, and if necessary include the DB Approval #.
➔ There is only one fully OOC List for Masquerade. The National ST staff may make OOC
announcements on the IC Lists if necessary. They are the only ones who are allowed to post
OOC to the IC Lists. All other OOC posts should occur on the OOC List, or be taken private.
➔ Lists cannot be infiltrated with the exception of the Alternate Identity Background. Character’s
with an Alternate ID at Level 4 or higher can access an appropriate list for their Approved
Alternate ID.
➔ All Lists are moderated OOCly and some Lists are moderated ICly. Violations of the Code of
Conduct and posting OOCly on the IC lists can lead to a temporary posting ban or removal. IC
moderation will be dealt with IC.
➔ All List Posts (unless specified otherwise in certain instances) must be signed with the Player’s
Name and MES Number. Character identities are always known to the IC moderators/managers
of the Lists.
➔ The Lists can be found here.

List Modifiers
➔ Heavy Moderation: Some lists are marked as heavily moderated. Posts that are irrelevant,
against the published setting, trolling, low content, or otherwise inappropriate will be moderated
and the posting character removed from the list for a period of time.
➔ Consequences: Some lists are marked as having consequences. Posts counter to the published
setting, “internet-courage”, frivolous posts, or speaking ill of powerful characters will have direct
consequences up to and including character death.
● Please note that proxy or your VST’s permission is not necessarily needed to enact
these consequences.

➔ Restricted: Some lists are marked as restricted. These lists permit a character to post only a
certain number of times over a certain period. This includes replies. Violation of this rule will result
in removal of list access.

List Settings 
The Anarch Movement
The Anarchs are the most technologically advanced of the various Sects. As such, their communications
remain on the cutting edge. Tonight they use a series of encrypted servers spread across the globe
administered by several trusted technomancers.

Anarch Movement Lists:

❖ Anarch Main List (Consequences)
➢ All Sect Members in good standing.
❖ Faction: Anarch Free Press (Heavily Moderated, Consequences)
➢ This Faction list is accessible only to approved members of that Faction.
❖ Faction: Anarch Free-State Militia (Consequences)
➢ This Faction list is accessible only to approved members of that Faction.
❖ Faction: Anarch Railroad (Heavily Moderated, Consequences)
➢ This Faction list is accessible only to approved members of that Faction.
❖ Faction: Liberty Club (Consequences)
➢ This list is accessible only to approved members of that Faction.

The Camarilla
Despite its reputation of stagnation, the Camarilla communications have advanced with the times thanks
in large part to Ventrue finances and Tremere Technomancers. Although Elders may not have moved
away from the art of placing quill to parchment, they understand that their childer and retainers can
quickly and efficiently project their thoughts across time and space through the advents of technology. As
such, all members of the Camarilla have found a means to utilize the Sect’s communication lists.
However, the Ivory Tower is built on respect and fear. Although only the rarest of Elders would be found
pounding away at a keyboard in some dark corner of their palatial mansion, all Elders have minions that
monitor the lists and who report offenses back to the powers-that-be. Those who are disrespectful or who
speak out of turn quickly find themselves summoned and silenced. Security for the lists are provided by
both the computer savvy members of the Tower and the Tremere Technomancers. As such, the list
cannot be hacked.
➔ If a post violates the above IC mandates, the moderator has the power to immediately suspend
the character’s access to that list. The character will be informed by the moderator of the
suspension and the player of that character shall not post as that character until the suspension is
lifted by the moderator.
➔ Characters that post in violation of the above IC mandates may suffer additional IC
consequences as deemed proper by the NST staff in order to ensure the enforcement of the
setting.

➢ All Sect Members in good standing.

❖ Faction: Servires (Heavy Moderation/Consequences)

➢ This Faction list is accessible only to approved members of that Faction.

The Independent Alliance

The most modern and recent of the communication mediums, the IA use a front-company called Imago
Global for the tech power behind their communication network. Framed as a dull-looking mobile app
(available on iOS, Android, and, surprisingly, Blackberry), once a personalized private key and a
fingerprint from the mobile device reader is entered, the user has access to the communications network.
➔ The Council of the Shroud provides the following lists. They are monitored by servants.
Discussion counter to the will of the Council, especially speaking ill of the IA is not allowed. If a
post violates these IC mandates, the moderator has the power to immediately suspend the
character’s access to that list. The character will be informed by the moderator of the suspension
and the player of that character shall not post as that character until the suspension is lifted by
the moderator.
➔ Characters that post in violation of the above IC mandates may suffer additional IC
consequences as deemed proper by the NST staff in order to ensure the enforcement of the
setting.

Independent Alliance Lists:

❖ IA Main List (Heavy Moderation/Consequences/Restricted)
➢ All Sect Members in good standing.
❖ Doyens List (Heavy Moderation/Consequences)
➢ Only IA Doyens may join.
❖ Virago List (Heavy Moderation/Consequences)
➢ Only IA Viragos may join.

The Sabbat
The Sabbat communication network was modern in the early 2000’s CE, but has started to show its age.
Embedded in a series of well known websites are forums where posts are automatically replicated to the
back-end of the other sites in real time. There have been efforts to modernize, but the somewhat recent
splintering and reforming of many of the Sabbat factions has stalled the effort.The Regent approved the
Prisci Council to create a series of lists in support of the Crusades to coordinate activities. The Loyalist list
was created quickly to get the clutter off the main Sabbat list and other Factions followed. Moderation is
barely tolerated, but most accept it as a necessary evil and the Regent has declared lines of
communication should remain open. Everyone in the Sabbat accepts his Authority and trolling on those
lists labeled “Heavy Moderation” is known to get a member silenced (rumors of abusers disappearing are
not unheard of).
➔ If a post violates the above IC mandates, the moderator has the power to immediately suspend
the character’s access to that list. The character will be informed by the moderator of the
suspension and the player of that character shall not post as that character until the suspension is
lifted by the moderator.

email accounts in order to maintain secrecy.
