Mudtards!
I just wanted to say a public thank you to the Immortals and Ackmon for the surprise last night and for managing to keep it from me. *grins* It was just what I needed and it was deeply appreciated. Thank you.
And thanks as well to those of you who gave up some of your Friday night to spend it on a text game celebrating someone's birthday you've never laid eyes on. I chose a quiet birthday at home this year and while I wasn't looking for pomp and circumstance, I didn't want to spend it sitting alone staring at Darkstar all night. *shudders* Thank you for giving up your night at the bar or the movies or looking for booty or whatever it is you people do and for spending it on ToD.
So thank you once more to the Imms and the morts who were around. It won't be forgotten.
Another update, mudtards!
Most of you have noticed but for those of you who are a little less than swift, I'd like to take a moment here to officially welcome everyone's favourite Seal back into the jacuzzi and Time of Darkness. Yes, I am referring to Meathe. Welcome home, Meathead, you were missed!
Time of Darkness is currently looking for one Immortal. This is a mid level position that will begin at 105 and can rise to 107 or 108, depending on how the person hired handles the job.
This is a general Immortal position, you do not need OLC experience or Immortal experience.
You will be responsible for social interaction. When the MUD is quiet and there are a few bored lazy people on, it will be up to you to come up with something to keep them entertained. You will be responsible for a Trivia Quest of 100 questions once or twice a month. You will be responsible for scavenger hunts, silly mobs to beat on and giving out newbie packs. You will be the go-between that players come to before approaching the Imps with situations.
As this is a socially active position, you must be able to commit to twenty hours a week of MUDding, anything less will result in Donald Trump making a personal appearance to let you know you're fired. You must have a sharp sense of humour and thick skin. You must have a moderately clean record and no serious rule breakage on your history. You must know how to keep secrets and not break confidences. You must be willing to create and maintain a blog.
As always, the job is an unpaid one. Immortals get no perks for their mortal characters. What we can offer is: your own @timeofdarkness.com email address; free top of the line webhosting for your domain if you have one; a sub-domain if you don't have a domain of your own; the opportunity to patron a clan and what I think is the best perk - the friendships you will form in the jacuzzi. The Immortals of ToD are ALL friends. We genuinely get along, we genuinely like each other, we genuinely trust each other. This is a rare thing to find on ANY game and it's something we want to keep.
Working on ToD is not easy, I'm not the easiest person to work with *coughs* and I have high expectations from the staff and myself. Working on ToD is however, pretty good mental juju.
So that's that, I have thrown out the chum and now we sit back and wait to see what bites. If you are interested in the job, please send me an email (if you have to ask what the email address is, the job is not for you). Please be sure to include the names of alts and for the love of God, use the spellcheck before you send.
The hunt begins.
Greetings, Mudtards!
In an attempt to get you buggers to RP more and argue about stupid shit like EQ less, we are now offering the following bribe!
Those of you who take the time and effort to create and maintain an active blog will have the opportunity to receive RP points for your efforts.
When you have accumulated 100 RP points, you will be given a special RP prize that will be one of a kind and will fit with the RP you have created.
Now this does not mean that posting every day for a month and then slacking off will get you RP points, it will not. We are looking for those who are genuinely interested in RP now and RP once the changes come in. Those of you seeking merely one of a kind EQ will never see a piece of RP eq with your name on it.
RP points will be awarded via comments on your individual blogs and logged on the ToD forums for record keeping.
You do not have to be a master of the English language to write good blog. It's all about heart and taking a few moments to plan out what your character is and where you would like to see your character going.
RP points and blogs are completely optional but instead of sitting around griping when there are only a few people on, why not grab the moment and start something on gossip.
Blogging - good for overall prostate health.
