Glosdraug's Building Rules, Tips & Writing Techniques

Builder Rules

  1. All new area concepts must be submitted & approved by the Head Builder.
  2. Submit area ideas to the Head Builder.
  3. Areas should try to reflect medival/fantasy theme; Will be flexible on this point if idea/concept is really good & it meets council approval.
  4. Monthly Progress Reports From Each Builder Are To Be Submitted To the Head Builder So He Can Submit An Overall Report To The Council
  5. These reports are MANDATORY for they will help determine how each individual staff member is performing, which in turn can lead to promotion/demotion & it also gives a sense on how the staff as a whole is doing & what changes, if any, need to be made.
  6. Reports look like this:
    Date:
    Rooms Built: vnums - to -
    Objects Built: vnums - to -
    Mobs Built: vnums - to -
    MobProgs Built: vnums - to -
    <short summary of progress and estimated finishing time>
  7. DO NOT TRY TO FALSIFY INFO IN A REPORT FOR THEY WILL BE CHECKED!
  8. All areas will be checked by the Head Builder before they are connected/open.
  9. Any questions on Building should be directed to the Head Builder either by e-mail, note, or directly.

As with weapons you may have a 5 level cushion when assigning values for armor. This means you can use either a level 10 rating or a level 20 rating for a level 15 piece of armor. WARNING: DO NOT GO CRAZY WITH THIS. I will double check everything.Do not overuse this cushion and don't use it for each type of rating (pierce, bash, slice, exotic). Mix up the values. Exotic armor ratings should be very low, if any rating at all, for armor below level 20.
