Party in my Dorm, commonly referred to as 'PIMD', is an online multiplayer game in which you fill up dorms with your crew while completing jobs and joining clubs to make your reputation soar! a. Campus Chat In order to post a message on Campus Chat, you need to have an item called a speaker. You can buy a speaker in the store. One speaker token costs one Extra Credits, which you can purchase from the Nurse. 2. Terms of Use The Terms of Use (ToU) are the terms that you automatically agree to when you download Party in my Dorm, whether you have read them or not. a. Consequences Silence- When you are unable to talk to or communicate in any way with players on PIMD except for on forums and your Club Announcement for 24 hours. Permanent Silence- On your third silence, it becomes permanent. This means you will never be able to talk, unless you somehow convince ATA (A Thinking Ape) to unsilence you. Ban- When you are permanently not allowed in the game. Forum Ban- When you are permanently banned, or not allowed, to post in PIMD's forums. This will happen when you consistently break the ToU in forums. i. How to get Unsilenced/Unbanned If a mod silences you, don't chuck a spazz, mods can't un silence people. If you really think the you were silenced un-fairly, then you can email the developers at support@athinkingape.com. You should set the email out like this: To: support@athinkingape.com Subject: Unsilencing Me. Dear ATA, I play the game Party in my Dorm. My user name is Insert Username and I am emailing you about why I should be un-silenced. The reason(s) why I think I should be un-silenced are: Insert Reasons Thank you for taking your time to read this, I hope to here from you soon. By telling the truth and giving good reasons why you should be unsilenced, the devs may just unsilence you. b. Guides You Should Check Out!

Moderators and Developers Moderators and developers are the people who keep this game safe and running.

What can they do? Moderators can do the following: Silence players for breaking the Terms of Use. Erase a player's status if it breaks the Terms of Use (this automatically happens if a player is silenced). Request a forum ban for repeat offenders. Have an excellent green name in campus chat so that every time they post there they'll be besieged with 'OMG why is your name green???' wall posts. Receive lots of speakers in order to moderate campus chat Emails sent by moderators to support@athinkingape.com are flagged and thus their concerns usually get dealt with quicker.
