Elf Committee
The Elf Spirit Lands has a Committee led by Vanderbilt Voom as owner of the Spirit Lands and head of Elf Committee. Other members include those who have shown a great understanding for our lands and who want to preserve our way of life here.
The primary purpose of the Committee is to maintain the Elf Spirit lands ne all st the same timsims , we do that by ensuring that all sims are working correctly and that any problem no matter how big or small is dealt with straight away efficently, we listen to what our members say, that way it keeps our lands safe for all to use.
The Committee is an administrative advisory body. It is not a government or judiciary and does not have the resources to act in that capacity. Please note that Elf Committe will not interfere with or determine disputes between Elf Spirit Lands Group members (including, but not limited to, copyright issues, business agreements, or domestic disputes). However, should disputes lead to behavior banned under Spirit rules, action will be taken as necessary in order to stop such misconduct and prevent its recurrance. The claim that behavior against the rules of Spirit is justified will not be accepted.
To address the Elf Committee on any issue, give a notecard to a member of the Elf Committe and we will respond within 4 hours . Your submission will be addressed as time allows. You will be informed of the results. Please be prepared to appear before the Committee if requested to do so.
