*'''What is this new "Alliance" tab?'''

* '''What is this new "Alliance" tab?'''

Eve University is part of the Ivy League Alliance. Since Eve University is effectively Ivy League we don't use the Alliance for communicating with other corps in the alliance. Rather we use alliance to relay military information and organize fleet operations. Please keep general chat in "Chat.E-Uni".

The Eve University "Corp" tab is used for Eve University specific requests such as TeamSpeak access, skillbook requests, items from the hangars etc. Please keep general chat in "Chat.E-Uni".

*'''War? War? What does that mean to me?'''

* '''War? War? What does that mean to me?'''

When Eve University is at war, the Ivy League Navy (ILN) takes control and implements the [http://www.eve-ivy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7961 Ivy League Navy and Wartime Rules and Regulations].

*The basics are explained below:

** '''What is a wardec?''' It means you can and will get shot in any system of any security level and anytime without repercussions.

** '''What are the uni wartime rules?''' No mining, no hauling, no missioning, no ratting, NO FLYING AROUND WITHOUT PERMISSION.

** '''When can I undock?''' Basic rule: If there's no lockdown and there are no wartargets in local you can undock. Look at local chat member list to check for wartargets (Recognizable by the red background, white star icon). Contact an intel coordinator (check bulletins) and ask if its safe for you to travel to Aldrat. Travel as fast as possible (warp to zero, no AFK/autopilot travelling!) and dock up instantly if you see a wartarget appear in local.

** '''What is a lockdown?''' ILN officers ranked Captain or higher have the ability to order a "lockdown", which means NOBODY is allowed to undock from any station or any system in Eve unless you have permission or are in/joining a combat fleet. DO NOT undock until you get orders from your Fleet Commander to undock from the specific station you are located in. Lockdowns are usually posted in Alliance mail. Make sure you read your mails (both corp/alliance) when you log in to know if there's a lockdown active at a given moment in time. "I missed the mail" is no excuse for losing your ship during a lockdown.

** '''Isn't that boring?''' Yes, in most cases war and lockdowns are boring and you might be in station for quite a long time without doing anything. Rest assured that these rules have been developed over a period of five years and are in your best interests!

** '''What happens if I break these rules?''' Depending on what you did you'll get either a very unpleasant conversation with a director or just be kicked from the Uni for the duration of the war.
