.DT creator Discworld player help creator .SH Name .SP 5 5 creator - information about being a creator .EP .SH Description .SP 5 5 The creators are the people that make the Disc turn and help ease the wheels of movement. There are two types of creators, coding creators and liaison creators. Coding creators create the areas and fix the bugs in the code, liaison creators help players with their problems and also help create a better interface between the players and the rest of the creator community. .EP .SH Before Applying .SO 5 5 -15 1. Being a Creator can be a wonderful experience. Becoming a Creator involves a change in the way you approach the MUD: time, commitment and responsibility are necessary. For many people, viewing the game from "behind the scenes" can completely change their perspective, understanding and enjoyment of the game. It will never be the same again. You should consider these factors very carefully before you apply. 2. The minimum requirements to apply for creatorship on Discworld are a minimum age of five days and guild level 150. Being a Creator means assisting the Disc as a whole, so general knowledge of the entire Disc is important. Each Leader has different methods and means of employing creators: your application will be sent to the relevant Domain Leader, and they may have further questions or requirements for their Domain. 3. You cannot be a Creator on Discworld while holding a creator/admin position on any other MUD/MUSH/talker, etc. This is primarily to avoid conflicts of interest. It is also an issue of commitment; dedication to the Discworld plays a key part in being a creator. 4. Before submitting your application to creatorship, you should pay old debts, return loaned items, etc. You are not allowed to do this as a Creator. 5. You are allowed to have player characters as a Creator, but at all times you will primarily be a Creator. This means that playing the game cannot prevent or interrupt the fulfilment of your duties. Being a Creator means having access to inside information on how the game actually works. This makes competition with other players unfair. Therefore, your player characters are also not allowed to be on the Top Ten Tables, hold Guild positions (such as House Master, High Priest, Senior Wizard, etc) or other player titles. 6. Note to Coding Applicants: You don't need to have any programming skills to become Creator: we can teach you that. Imagination is important as we can't teach you that. Note to Liaison Applicants: Applicants to the Liaison domain should be aware that they will be called upon to deal with questions, problems and issues in ALL areas of the Disc and more than basic knowledge of areas is beneficial. .EO .SH See Also .SP 5 5 apply .EP
