You don't need to know anything to surf our website, read the Guides, or check out the Forums. But before you start posting, or before you begin playing in Amazon Basin games, you should know what everyone in the community expects of others in the way of rudimentary good conduct. While we have very few "rules," we have a strong ethic of respect among people who participate in the Forums, the channel, and in our games.

The Amazon Basin is a community of people who share an interest in fair and respectful game play. The Amazon Basin arose around Diablo II and now consists of six independent guilds, each focusing on one game: Diablo II, Dark Age of Camelot, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Galaxies, Horizons and World of Warcraft. The community also has its General Forums that are not game-specific and can be found here. The Basin is entirely non-profit-driven.

Community Members are those people who have found us and registered for our forums. Anyone who isn't an Amazon Basin Member is a Community Member. Since we've got semi-private 'guild' stuff to take care of behind the scenes, we can't just give everyone full access. That being said, the difference is mostly that some CMs who've become regular contributors to our community as well as exhibited the traits we value have been voted into the guild 'officially' and now carry the ABM title.

Amazon Basin games organized by members of the community and played under Amazon Basin conventions; and Personal messages through the messenger service available to all registered members of the community.

Yes. You can read the Forums and find plenty of information on our website, even without registering as a user. You will need to register in order to post in the Forums and to send private messages. But registering does not require any commitment from you, other than your willingness to observe our general guidelines for all community participation in the guild. "Membership" is neither required nor expected for people who want to be an active part of the Amazon Basin community.

The Amazon Basin channel exists on three realms: US East, US West, and Europe. It is op theamazon-basin all three places. (That is, with a space between "op" and "theamazon-basin".)

While we often play in public games, people in the Basin frequently play in private games created by Amazon Basin community members using game names and passwords under our conventions. Our games are among the unique features of the Amazon Basin. Hallmarks of Amazon Basin games are honesty, cooperation, and item sharing. For a guide on Amazon Basin games (and a wealth of gameplay wisdom), read MagiMac's Guide to Amazon Basin Games.

Here are the Amazon Basin Games Rules. We like to think of them as commonsense guidelines for providing a friendly, cooperative gaming experience. Everyone is expected to abide by these principles, which we can and do enforce. If in doubt, ask an Amazon Basin Member about what they mean. And remember - do not distribute passwords to our games - doing so will have serious consequences! Return to FAQ Questions

No. If you and a friend want to cheese a character, you should make a private game. Cheesing involves killing act bosses, which will spoil the quests for anyone else in the game. Don't use hostile, hateful, or offensive language (see the guidelines on this subject for the Forums and the Channel).

Yes. CRP is dedicated to student success. However, if you, the student, don't commit yourself fully to the program and what it can do for you, you probably won't get much out of the program. You should know that we have a strict mandatory attendance policy with serious consequences for excessive absences. Research shows that the number one correlative factor for college success is attendance.

Currently all guilds possess their own separate sets of forums. The newer guilds have redirecting forums linking to the Main Boards, such as Completely Off Topic and Picture Pages. Older guilds, like Diablo II for example, do not have redirecting links and have their own non-game-specific forums. The idea is to meld all the forums together and have common subscriptions. This would spread traffic among the guilds and let people see new faces as well as ease the managing of newer guilds.

We mean you should not use any hacks, and no cheats, such as Maphack and other software not approved by Blizzard. The Diablo II community recognizes that while our forums, channels, and games are not used for trading, many members enjoy trading with other individuals, both inside and outside of the Basin environment. In keeping with our overall concerns for maintaining a fair environment within the Basin and our desire to uphold our reputation for fairness within the general battle.

Unlike public games where players rush to grab and keep prized items, everyone in an Amazon Basin party shares in whatever the group recovers. All valuable items are left in town for everyone to see. Decisions on who gets what are left to the group, typically at the end of the game. So if you join an active Amazon Basin game, you are likely to find a pile of loot lying on the ground in town.

The Amazon Basin believes that language used in our games should be acceptable to people of all ages and backgrounds. Therefore, racist, bigoted language is not tolerated in our games. Likewise, we frown on swearing and other vulgar language. And we ask that you be careful about the slang you use. For example, don't call things "gay" or say that you'll "rape" Andariel. This type of language is extremely disrespectful and inappropriate for our community.

Bless you for being so generous! Please understand, though, that donating items can cause some of the same problems as muling: distracting from game play, cause misunderstandings about drops, etc. Before you donate items, you should read our complete policy on donating items here.

Community living, whether on-campus or off-campus, means young adults are living in close proximity to one another. Sometimes, this means young adults are susceptible to illnesses because healthy living practices that have been influenced by your parents are not consistently adhered to in the community living environment. Poor eating habits, inconsistent sleeping patterns, stress, anxiety, and poor hygiene skills can all contribute to illness during the college years.

Within each 'community' (a Faculty, Department, Institute, etc.), there can be an unlimited number of collections. Each of these collections can be made accessible to different groups of users, and at different levels. The Library will be happy to work with you to define these policies for each of your collections, but the initial information you will need is:

The size of the basin that you need depends on the number of fixtures that will be draining into it. Please refer to our sewage pump sizing form for help in determining the most appropriate size for your application. Please note that local codes may dictate minimum basin size.

Your primary care physician will be notified of your eligibility to participate in Duke Prospective Health and may encourage you to participate in Duke Prospective Health. You are encouraged to share your Personal Health Plan with your physicians when you visit them and discuss progress towards your goals.

Yes, and we do it all the time. Players in a Basin game or in the Basin channel frequently ask for help from others in muling items, and they agree on a private game name/password for the purpose.

Some of the older songs listed on my site just aren't available from a mass retail source. I've tried to locate these somewhere on the Web for you to listen to, buy, or even download for free. If I can't find any specific evidence of the song, I've linked to sites that can at least teach you about the artist who performed them.

The Brazilian government, and the U. S. Center for Disease Control, recommend that visitors to Brazil from North American countries, especially to the Amazon region, have a yellow fever vaccination. It is not required, however, unless you have been in certain countries prior to visiting Brazil. It is also recommended, but not required, that you take an antimalarial drug. While these recommendations may seem a bit alarming, note that they are precautionary advisements.

Please write to Talisker Tutorials. I should be able to provide you with alternate sources for any of the books we use if Amazon can't come through. Barnes & Noble is another good place to try.
