While my mud is still very much in the development phase, I'm only going to allow people I know pretty well (either in RL or net) to be imms. On the other hand, I was made an Imm on a mud I had played for about a week simply because I could code for them in Delphi. I am now one of their chief Law Enforcers :) Obviously not everyone will act responsibly in an Imm position and I prefer to get to know people before I put them in a position where they can really screw things up (or make great changes, as the case may be). -Jeremy aka Firxen Shadowblade aka Mythos the Wanderer aka Graargh the orcish Berzerker -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
