It’s time to set some boundaries.
I think we can all agree that things have been getting a might bit rowdy around here. I tried to exert some control over the madness previously with the Neopoleon.com End User License Agreement, but I do not believe that I was taken seriously.
Unfortunately, this has given me no other choice than to impose a set of Blue Laws upon the County of Neopoleon.
If you are unfamiliar with Blue Laws, then you may read up on them here. And I suggest you do.
Before there is a Day of Reckoning.
