The Village Rules | Magic-Oid

🏰 The Simple Rule

Be good people. That's it.

Everything else flows from this.

Hamlets: No Amazon links. No ads. Your hamlet is your home, not a billboard.
Villager pages: You can share links to stuff you honestly recommend (like Old Maurice recommending a book in an answer). Context matters.
The Notice Board: The place to promote. "Visit my hamlet on Thursday for X." Events, workshops, offerings - that's what it's for.

The village is about people, not selling stuff. Buying and selling happens, but it's not what we're here for.

Every 100 villagers (up to 1000), one member from each 100 gets their own hamlet.

10 hamlets given away to early believers. Miraiker was #1 (earned, not lottery). The next 10 come from the community.

The village is built to:

Make experts valued - their knowledge matters
Make experts easy to find - especially villagers
More kudos = more ability to give - the more you help, the more you CAN help

This isn't a scam. Kudos don't buy things. Kudos let you GIVE things (pro passes, access, help). Being generous is what counts here.

We're teaching something specific:

Not: "The joy of giving" (sounds like a charity guilt trip)

But: "Giving to strangers who will become friends"

No tricks. No 'you owe me.' No keeping score.

You help because you can. They become friends because that's what happens when people help each other.

The village looks after itself. People who cause trouble get called out.

BUT:

Got a problem with someone? Show evidence.
Can't show evidence? Keep it to yourself until you can.

This protects everyone. Real problems get sorted. No one gets their name trashed over lies.
