#1. Members are not to cause clashes within, or outside of, the FAM.
Immediate expulsion will be served to members who deliberately act against the best interests of the FAM.
Troublemakers are not appreciated in ~MesmerisE~.
#2. Personal/private matters should stay personal and private.
They should not be brought into, or interfere with, FAM matters.
In elaboration, it pertains to any individual wants that may be deemed to be of selfish beneficiary nature, and goes against the welfare of the FAM.
Exploitation of the FAM for personal-related gains will not be tolerated.
#3. Entry into the FAM is subject to the approval, and discretion, of the 5 committee members with a majority positive vote from FAM members.
#4. ~MesmerisE~ functions as a close-knit family, not as a cold and impersonal guild.
This is due to the entwining bonds of friendship and camaraderie amongst all members.
Those who seek to enter FAM without this appropriate mindset will not be welcomed.
#5. All new ~MesmerisE~ entrants must pledge at least two million dens to the FAM Bank.
An obligatory lump sum of 500,000 dens (reviewed on a case-by-case basis) is payable immediately upon entry.

Five Little Ducks
Five little ducks went swimming one day, Over the hill and far away, Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,” And only four little ducks came back.
Four little ducks went swimming one day, Over the hill and far away, Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,” And only three little ducks came back.
Three little ducks went swimming one day, Over the hill and far away, Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,” And only two little ducks came back.
Two little ducks went swimming one day, Over the hill and far away, Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,” And only one little duck came back.
One little duck went swimming one day, Over the hill and far away, Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,” And five little ducks came back.
My baby niece sings the last lines of the stanzas differently:
Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack," And four little ducks came swimming back.
