===== OOC Information =====

Hagalaz is one of Furscape's headwizards, and is responsible for:
  * Co-creation and enforcement of Furscape's [[administration|rules]].
  * Enforcing Furscape's //existing// [[encyclopedia_galactica|theme]], and //proposing// ideas for Roleplay Staff to consider for inclusion in the game's setting.
 
He also specializes in these areas:
  * [[Spaceship construction]] and [[spaceship_operations|operations]] (LITE and SCRAT systems and **''vehiclepose''**).
  * Astroengineering - temporary and permanent objects on the space grid. Placement only occurs with RP staff approval.
  * [[Belter]]s and [[human]]s ('pure-strain' and 'transhuman/posthuman').
  * Random trivia and IC/OOC MUCK history (since 2003).
 
Hagalaz does NOT:
  * @APPROVE new characters (although he can and will rescind approval if he finds something that violates Furscape's rules).
  * Override decisions made by Roleplay Staff as a group regarding Furscape's theme.  In the event that a single member of Roleplay Staff makes a decision that doesn't seem to fit Furscape's theme, he will call the question before a quorum of Roleplay Staff members (//This hasn't happened yet, by the way.  Furscape has a very competent Roleplay Staff, and I hope you will trust their judgement as much as I do - H.//).
  * Add new construction to other realm managers' domains.  Please check that area's "**''realm''**" information and talk to the manager responsible first.
  * Argue with players about Furscape's theme or whether a particular technology should be allowed.  //Friendly// discussion regarding the MUCK's 'hard science fiction' theme and //speculation// about proposed technologies are acceptable, but keep it polite.
