Welcome to Portalpolis.

Official motto: "Built from the detritus of the infinite planes."

Unofficial motto: "I didn't pick the name."

(Presumably someone, somewhere, did in fact pick the name, but whoever first said it must have done so offline or somewhere similarly ephemeral, and it was in wide circulation before anyone tried to track the etymology.)

When the Closing of the Portalcullis the year before last turned scattered dozens of alien explorers, scientists, ambassadors, millions of alien refugees from the dozens of worlds that had been invaded by technologically advanced insectish things (oh, and that's not to mention that some of the other worlds have magic and some of these people are wizards), into permanent residents of the Refuge for the foreseeable future, Portalpolis became the largest and most diverse of the Refuge's new cities. Aliens from as yet uncounted worlds were met by Refugites from uncountable subcultures.

In a metropolitan area where any two neighbors might have an inferential distance measured best measured in AU, civil suits are common and incivil ones commoner.

Consider arbitration with Peanut_Butter_Soup if you:

- Are busy and dignified people who agree or mostly agree on matters of fact but disagree over what should be done about them.

- Want a decision quickly and with minimal fuss so that you can move on with your life.

 

I try to resolve disputes very quickly and fairly fairly.

If I cannot do so quickly and fairly, I will refund you and ask you to leave.

 

I find arbitration faster and less aggravating when everyone involved has or larps having dignity.

Please speak in turn and without interrupting each other.

In addition, follow these guidelines to the best of your ability.

If I find you sufficiently obnoxious, I will refund you and ask you to leave.
