Laurnath
Laurnath is, fundamentally, head of house of the server. Responsible for high-level community management and housekeeping. In all cases where it is practical, team decisions are made via discussion and agreement, but we recognise that in some cases the buck must stop with somebody who ultimately does have power of veto. Because the high-level tasks carried out by Laurnath to keep the server running and engaging, and the community (more-or-less) functional cannot currently be carried out by anyone else we have available, and because she's the one who put this rickety cart back on the road in the first place, this person is Laurnath.
Laurnath's other responsibilities for the server include module build work (creative), general creative direction and design of the server as a whole, and plot/storyline development and management. She may help out with DM-required activities such as character rebuilds, NPC consversations/events, etc., as needed and subject to availability.
Troubletcat
Troubletcat
Troubletcat is currently responsible for module version control/pushing of updates, NWSync updates when needed, and other day-to-day server technical management such as routine restarts etc.
He's also responsible for module build work (scripting/technical and creative), providing input and feedback on the overall creative direction of the server, and also assisting in plot/storyline development.
He may also participate in DM-required activities such as character rebuilds, NPC conversation/events, etc., as needed and subject to availability.
Community Management
Zelimpdna
Zeli's role is largely relating to community management and well-being. Zeli monitors the discord and assists in maintaining a harmonious environment for both the players and the team. As he is (mostly) not involved in actively playing, building, or DMing on the server, he is often able to offer much needed perspective on things from a slightly more disengaged or neutral point-of-view.
Technical Assistance/Maintenance
Sporaxis
Sporaxis has previously done significant build and scripting work for the server, and was instrumental in getting things up and running when M:A first came online, as well as having a very involved technical role for many years. These days, much of this work has been taken over by Troubletcat, however, Sporaxis still provides vital technical know-how. He is needed by the team to ensure the smooth running and upkeep of the server, keeping the box online and addressing any major technical issues that arise. He may return to building at some point in the future but has currently decided to step back to a lower level of engagement.
Other Support
Moose's role is largely advisory, providing ideas and insight on upcoming changes as these are being developed. Areas of discussion may include build changes, story ideas, and overall server direction.
Moose also assists in testing new updates to the server as needed. He also assists via the DM client, primarily for miscellaneous tasks such as rebuilds, but also interaction on certain NPCs and via the creation of custom items.
Toroi
Toroi's role is largely advisory, providing ideas and insight on upcoming changes as these are being developed. Areas of discussion may include build changes, story ideas, and overall server direction.
General Team Requirements
In addition to the specific roles stated above, all team members are required to: Maintain full transparency in dealings with players and other team members. Be accountable for all public and private interactions both in-game and out-of-game, following the general principles of fair play and care required of all community members. Maintain an appropriate and timely level of contact with the rest of the team, in line with their level of participation. Contribute to discussions and arguments which arise in a good-faith manner, in the spirit of maintaining harmony and a positive environment.
Contact Protocol
- The primary method of contact these days is via Discord. See the box on the right of this page for the "Join Server" button. Depending on the nature of your issue, you may choose to simply ask in one of the public channels, or it may be more appropriate to message a team member directly. The role descriptions above should give an idea of who is most appropriate to contact with your specific issue, but if you ask the wrong person, no harm is done, they will redirect you.
- For forum-based contact. PM Admins as first point of contact, or a specific team member if they have requested it.
If you contact one of us, you are contacting all of us.*
