Micronet Information Network IBBS League 618 Policies
Last updated 10 June 2026

=======================================================================
A good IBBS league is fun and adds more value to Micronet.  However,
to ensure smooth operation and good sportsmanship, the Micronet
administration has set forth policies to make sure everyone's on even
ground and being good sports.

Please note that League 618 is not an official part of Micronet but is
run by Andrew Leary as a favor to the network.

Your participation in League 618 assumes that you agree to bide by this
policy statement, so read this very carefully!

  1. The official league coordinator for Micronet is Andrew Leary at
     618:618/3 (league618@minftn.net).  He has authority over all games
     and nodes that are participating in those games.  What he says goes
     for everyone and he has absolute say-so over the league's function.
     Sean reserves the right, however, to have ultimate authority over
     the league if for some reason Andrew is unable or unwilling to
     fulfill his LC duties.

  2. To be eligible to join League 618, you must be a full Micronet node
     in good standing.  You must use FTN for your Micronet feed,
     preferably BinkP.  Private BBSes, mail-only nodes, and points are
     not eligible to join L618. You are required to establish a session
     password with the L618 Game Hub at 618:618/3.  InterBBS game
     packets are only to be processed from your SECURE inbound.  L618
     members are expected to poll the Game Hub a minimum of once daily.
     The Game Hub is available 24 hours a day, and sending of game
     packets CRASH is encouraged.

  3. The only games that are available in the league are the games that
     Andrew is running.  We strive to have a good variety of games
     available, however, we reserve the right to remove games from the
     league at any time, with or without reason or notice. There will be
     no other unsanctioned IBBS games running in Micronet and any node
     who tries to circumvent this will be immediately removed from
     Micronet.

  4. Cheating, of any type, will not be tolerated in any form.  If it is
     discovered it is one of your users who is cheating, it is your
     responsibility to stop that user.  If you cannot stop the user from
     cheating or if it is found that you are cheating, you will be
     issued a single warning.  If you're caught cheating again as a
     sysop, your BBS will be removed from Micronet immediately and you
     will not be eligible to rejoin Micronet.

  5. It is expected that you keep your system up to date with the latest
     changes in the league games you participate in (especially config
     files and nodelists where applicable) to ensure that both the
     league and Micronet run smoothly.  If you aren't running the latest
     IBBS configuration files or nodelists, your system may generate
     hundreds of bad game packets to be disbursed through the network.
     Please ensure that you keep up with the latest changes for the good
     of the league and Micronet.

  6. You must carry the L618_SYS and L618_SCR echoes at the minimum if
     your node is participating in the league.  We recommend carrying
     L618_PLY (League 618 Players' Chat) also.  If your system is
     capable of carrying filebones, it's recommended that you carry the
     MIN_L618 filebone.  That is where the LC will hatch out the latest
     nodelists, configuration files and what-not for the league.
     L618_SYS must be set to sysop access only and L618_SCR must be set
     to read-only access on your BBS.

     If you cannot receive a filebone, alternate arrangements will be
     made BUT YOU MUST TELL THE LC OR THE ZC!  We don't automatically
     know these things. :)

  7. If there is a problem with one of the games, please let the LC know
     immediately via netmail, a post in either L618_SYS or MIN_ADMIN, or
     email to league618@minftn.net.  If you can't contact the LC, please
     contact the ZC immediately via netmail, a post in either L618_SYS
     or MIN_ADMIN or via email at zc@minftn.net.  It's imperative that
     these errors get fixed immediately.

  8. The latest league infopack is available at:

     FREQ: L618 from 618:618/1 or 618:100/1

     WWW : http(s)://minftn.net/L618.ZIP

     FTP : bbs.outpostbbs.net in /pub/network/micronet/MIN_L618/L618.ZIP

  9. If there's a game you want in the league, let us know.

 10. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or even
     complaints, please let us know.  Andrew can be contacted via
     netmail at 618:618/3 or league618@minftn.net and I can be contacted
     via netmail at 618:618/1 (preferred) or zc@minftn.net.

Thank you for your participation in League 618!
