Original & Adapted Character Reminder
To save yourself and staff time and tears, please remember to +request character concepts for all Adapted FCs and most Original Characters, especially those in restricted categories such magic users and alien species. It's a simple process that will speed your approval.
Policy Reminder
This is a reminder that Hero MUX has a zero-tolerance, zero-warning policy on harassment.
Harassment is very easy to detect, it exists most commonly when a player has made it clear that continuation of a given behaviour is unwelcome and the offender persists with that behaviour. No means no, not "not today" or "not for a week". If someone asks you to stop a given behaviour, you should take that as a blanket ban on that action.
Harassment also exists in persistent abusive language and insults, forcing or demanding unwanted roleplay, and stalking behaviour such as tracking and requiring justification for a player's characters' movement and actions. This kind of behaviour is absolutely and unequivocally unacceptable to staff.
All complaints are …
Updates to News Plots
NEWS PLOTS has been updated to make it easier for players to formulate their own plots with simple examples of situations in which +request is appropriate and a brief explanation of the +request system. All players are encouraged to run their own +events and to +pitch larger plot ideas for the game.
Staff Changes!
We're sorry to tell you all that Tinkerbell, our Plot Head and Wiki Wrangler, has decided to step down as Staff. We appreciate everything she's done for HeroMUX and are pleased that she's decided to remain as a player to enjoy what she worked so hard to help build. The staff ask you to bear with us as we make rearrangements to compensate for her absence.
In the wake of having lost some of our central staff to retirement, we've had some big shoes to fill! To that end, I am very pleased to announce that Rapunzel will be taking on the position of Head of Apps, and Maleficent will be taking on the job of Head of Plots. We also welcome Stitch, our newest appstaffer, to the admin team. If you see these guys on channel or see them on-duty, feel f…
Log Reqs Pt. 2
A newly approved character does not have to meet log requirements for the first month in which they were approved. After that grace period, if an FC, Adapted FC, or Support FC does not meet their 1/month log requirement, they will be set unapproved and up for application after noon PST on the first of the month. These characters can then be requested normally with +chrequest (+help +chrequest). They will be claimed on a first come, first served basis. The player who lost the character to inactivity cannot re-app them for a period of 1 month. If they have not been claimed in that period, they may re-app them.
If an Iconic FC does not meet their 2/month log requirement, they will have their password reset after noon PST on the first of the mo…
Log Requirements!
IMPORTANT!
Hey folks! Now that we've been open for almost 3 months, we think the game is clearly stable and our policies and procedures are pretty solid. Therefore, September 1st we will be enforcing log requirements for August. We haven't enforced them up til this point because we were making sure things were stable and that our reqs were appropriate. There are several people in danger of not meeting their reqs. This is your only warning.
Reminder:
- Iconic FCs require /2/ logs for the month of August.
- FCs, Support FCs, and Adapted FCs require /1/ log for the month of August.
- OCs do not have a log requirement.
GO TO YOUR WIKI PAGE. CHECK YOUR LOGS!
If you do not see the proper number of logs dated for August, make sure you were properly linked to …
New MUXer Guide!
There is now a New MUXer Guide on the wiki (Information - Resources - New MUXer Guide) It also has channel help in it. There will be a link to this in the forthcoming +help newbie and news newbie.
Log Locations
If you take a peek at the locations pages on the wiki for our four cities, you will now see a logs tab, and a characters tab. The latter pulls off categories I set, but the former pulls off links to that city's page name. What does this mean?
This means in the WHERE= section of your log template, please put the proper city name inside brackets. They should be one of the following:
They need to be /exactly like that/ or the page won't recognize them.
For places not in those four cities (Samples: Smallville, Star City, Washington DC) please also put brackets around those, in case they get built in the future with karma buys! Thanks!
