Amandagreathouse,

Thank you for taking the time to interview for a staffing position on ArmageddonMUD.  We would be delighted if you would join our team.  Please take a look over the staff contract that I have pasted below.

We will need you to reply to this email stating that you agree to the Staff contract and wish to join the ArmageddonMUD staff.  Once that is done we'll start the process of getting you on board.

Thanks!

Adhira

Anything designed within the world of Armageddon is the sole property of ArmageddonMud[1].
   - Staff-members shall read all documents on the immortal website, and shall be held accountable to adhering to these documents.
   - Staff members are not to talk to, or become visible to mortals, unless it is immediately necessary. Email is the preferred method of communication.
   - Staff members shall keep staff-privy information within the ranks of the staff, and away from the general populace[2].
   - Staff-members shall interact with mortals only through the use of NPCs. Under no circumstances shall a quest be designed with the intention of harming or killing a pc. If such occurs, the staff member shall mail a greater immortal immediately, informing them of the situation[3]. Whenever a player comes to harm in a situation in which a staff member, either in immortal or mortal form, is involved, the staff member is responsible for emailing the account within 24 hours regarding the incident.
   - Staff members shall inform the administration in advance of any prolonged absences. Unexplained absences of more than 6 weeks can result in the staff member being set to Legend.
   - Staff-members are considered representatives of ArmageddonMud, both on and off the mud, and should conduct themselves accordingly when discussing Armageddon or related topics[4]. This includes discussing the game with online handles other than their staff persona.
   - The job of a staff member is exactly that, a job. Every staff member is expected to constructively add to the world for as long he/she holds his/her position.

Sub-Clauses:
   [1] : Property rights will remain in ArmageddonMud's control, although if a staff member wishes a copy of their work at any time, they may request it and ArmageddonMud will mail them a copy.
   [2] : Staff-privy information includes, but is not limited to, bulletin boards, spoken text on immortal channels, details of un-linked zones, documents contained on the website, email from staff mailing lists, and information on disk(i.e. "ls").
   [3] : Harming shall be defined as endangering the life of a character, be it through physical harm such as damage, material harm such as the removal of all equipment or coins, or mental harm such as psionical attacks or theft of something held dear.
   [4] : When discussion of ArmageddonMud is held, staff members are considered representatives, and should refrain from making statements that could potentially harm the muds image. This includes, but not limited to flaming other muds in comparison to Armageddon, making snide comments towards others discussing Armageddon, and otherwise acting irresponsibly while discussing Armageddon.

[b]Failure to comply with the Staff Contract can and will result in the deletion of the staff member's immortal character, in addition to any mortal characters beyond the single one given to all players.

This contract?

in all fairness Malken is pure GDB and a recent addition who comes over here to feel virile before storming off and screaming how pathetic we are over his shoulder.

i look forward to you coming back in three days and having another temper tantrum.

Malken, your point really doesn't hold up if you think about the issue at hand for more than two minutes.

Suppose that, somewhere on this wide earth, there resides a couple playing Arm. The wife in the equation spends her days killing scrab and drinking beer, while the guy goes about abusing the code, sharing IC information all day every day, and griefing everyone he can constantly.

After a while, staff get sick of it, and ban him. But like a bastard with a Delerak-like level of tenacity, he uses a VPN, proxies, whatever, and keeps making new accounts.

Now, the argument you're making is that banning his wife's account is necessary to make sure he doesn't just use that account to go on.

.. Which also goes against the ideas of justice used in most every country people on these boards live in, including you.

People tend not to get punished for crimes they don't commit, and this principle ought to extend to general ideas of what is right or not, too. Keeping out some shithead isn't worth screwing over players who did nothing for. If you want to argue that it's human to send the wrong person an email, fine, but banning someone unrelated's account reeks of paranoia and insecurity.

The title is about a threat, from Armageddon's staff...and about awful things they have done to me and my wife.  Why does it NEED to be objective?

It's not sensationalized like it's fucking 9/11, Malken, so let's not trump bullshit for the sake of doing so.  You think the discussion is needless, I get that.  I think that people need to be aware of heavy handed tactics the staff have committed, because, let's be honest...if you hear enough tales of it happening, MAYBE it will start making an impact.

Sirra has joined the ranks of posters on this board who's opinions I will no longer be able to take seriously...
