What we believe

Play, not pay

No real money in, no real money out. Ever. Our books are simpler that way.

Slow over loud

We don't push. We don't ping. The hall is meant to be a quieter corner of the internet.

Plain English

Rules are written on one page. If a member can't read it in two minutes, we rewrite it.

Safer by design

Cooling-off, session limits, and reality-checks are switched on for everyone by default.
