Many players have asked me to grant them wizhood. Usually
those players have been either guests or characters that were
created less than 5 days ago. After I have explained that we
require all wizards to play to their wizhood, or have playing
background in our mud (not just in any other mud), they ask me
to make an exception because they have lots of experience from
other muds.
Their requests are usully spoiled when they ask if we are
using ROM or Circle as our codebase (our mud is using lpmud
codebase). That shows clearly their level of knowledge,
especially how much they know about our mud.
Perhaps I am arrogant when I start to ignore players when they
continue insisting that I should make an exception to our
rules. From my point of view such players are more arrogant
when they do not know our codebase.
Never any knowledgeable "fellow coder/admin" has asked to get
wizhood without playing. First of all, such persons do not
have time to play much, and more importantly they are already
busy in their own muds.
Atleast in our mud you have no chance at all to get wizhood if
you come just nowhere and claim that you have the knowledge
and are already admin in dozen muds. But atleast I have always
explained why we have such rules, but too often the response
has been whining and bitching.
