OOC Information
Hagalaz is one of Furscape's headwizards, and is responsible for:
- Co-creation and enforcement of Furscape's rules.
- Enforcing Furscape's existing theme, and proposing ideas for Roleplay Staff to consider for inclusion in the game's setting.
He also specializes in these areas:
- Astroengineering - temporary and permanent objects on the space grid. Placement only occurs with RP staff approval.
- 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.
