.DT Creators $MUDNAME$ concepts Creators .SH Name .SI 5 Creators - those who are here to code things .EI .SH Description .SP 5 5 Creators are the volunteers who write code and generally maintain $MUDNAME$. Unless there is an emergency of some sort, it is rare for creators to be visibly present, and when creators are visible please note that they may not be in the mood to chat. However, they usually are as friendly a person as any you could meet. $MUDNAME$ is intended to be a place where knowledge is obtained through experience. That is you learn by trying and doing, not by asking a creator. Creators should not, and will not, answer questions of the type 'what level do I need for xxx' or, 'are there any quests in yyy', or even 'where is zzz', so please do not ask these questions. The members of the liaison domain will be more helpful towards newbies who are getting acquainted with the mud, but experienced players should expect to be told 'go find out for yourself'. The flip side of this is that creators are not allowed to interfere with players either directly or indirectly. If a creator does such a thing you should contact a Lord. .EP .SH Structure .SP 5 5 There are multiple levels of creator on $MUDNAME$, however, these should only be considered indicators of responsibility and experience. No creator should ever 'pull rank' over another creator, except in domain or discipline related incidences. .EP .SH Hierarchy .SI 2 Apprentice: .SI 5 An apprentice creator is a creator that is still learning the ropes. .EI .SI 2 Creator: .SI 5 A creator is a normal, everyday coder. Typically a normal creator will only work in one domain, though exceptions are made. .EI .SI 2 Senior Creator: .SI 5 A senior creator is a creator who excels at working inside their domain, and as such can be considered a deputy of the domain lord. Senior creators can be contacted for any problems with a domain when the domain's lord is not present. .EI .SI 2 Project Leader: .SI 5 Projects are small undertakings independent of management by a domain lord due to the nature of the task at hand. To ensure that the project is completed successfully, a project leader is appointed to run the project. .EI .SI 2 Lord: .SI 5 Lords are assigned to one or more domains, and are in charge of everything that occurs within that domain's boundaries. No project should occur within that domain without the knowledge and consent of the domain lord, as it is their duty to keep everything organised and working correctly. .EI .SI 2 Admin: .SI 5 Admin are responsible for ensuring that $MUDNAME$ as a whole runs correctly. To this end they may or may not be in charge of multiple domains, or they may work independently of any domain. They are also considered the last court of appeal in regards to any disciplinary issues, though any person wishing to take up with them will be informed of the correct time to do so. Furthermore, admin are to be scrupulous in their actions. Any untoward actions from an admin should be reported to the other admin so it may be dealt with. .EI .SH Projects .SI 5 Projects are tasks that occur independently of any currently existing domain. Usually the project is disbanded once the task is carried out, though occasionally a project will persist as a continually developing item. .EI .SH Domains .SI 5 $MUDNAME$ is divided into separate areas for management. These areas are called domains. Each creator works for one or more domains. There is a special domain called liaison. The members of liaison have a special role which is explained in help liaisons. .EI .SH See also .SP 5 5 finger, liaisons .EP
