LegendMUD Hero Application

Please be sure to read the Player Code of Conduct and the Immortal Code of Conduct before continuing. These are the rules that every player and immortal on Legend must follow. It is expect that the Heroes will be strong examples and advocates of these rules.

I. The Proposal Process

A. Before You Propose

Before you rush through this application, slow down and ask yourself if you really want to apply. Becoming a Hero, even though not as time consuming as being an immortal, will require you to spend a part of your Legend-related time on activities other than just playing the game. We expect Heroes to be able to invest at least 5 hours per week on their assigned duties. This is not meant to sound discouraging, but merely pointing out that becoming a Hero is not a step to be taken lightly. This status might be considered as part of an overall package towards immorting should you decide to do so. However, it does not replace the immortal application and it's process. Heroes are not considered immortals and remain level 50 characters.

B. The Process

In order to become a Hero, you will have to go through the following process:

• Speak with a Senior immortal or a Department head prior to applying.
• Submit a proposal to the Implementors(imp@legendmud.org) as a .txt file attachment. The application is included below. You must be Level 50 to apply.
• If your proposal is accepted, you will be promoted to Hero status and receive emails from the Hero mailing list. A Senior Immortal will contact you through the email list or directly in-game to help organize your list of tasks.

C. Role and Responsibilities

• 1 year time limit with a commitment of 5 hours per week minimum.
• Duties will be as assigned, but could include any of the following: Pre-installation testing of code snapshots and/or areas. Web and community contribution.
• Contribution to the LegendMUD exposure on the web. We request that Heroes vote on the MUD ranking sites on a daily basis.
• Acceptance of the Immortal Code of Conduct.
