Admins, Storytellers, and Builders

The DM team is split into two categories, administration and storyteller.

The Admins handle player complaints, mediate disputes, handle bugs, build, and whatnot. They are also in charge of the server 'meta' and the 'metaplot'- essentially, when you see a pink admin get involved in IG events, big things are probably going to happen.

Storytellers handle the in game plots and arcs, as well as focus on the individual player They are denoted by an ugly orange on discord so no one can mistake them for something else. They do not cater to OOC complaints and mediate disputes, that is for admins to resolve. They possess NPCS, handle letters, vote on apps, and focus on the day-to-day management of the server.

Moderators: The blue role on discord, they provide discord tech support. They are not DMs. Don't talk to them for anything unless you need them to handle some asshole who is praising hitler and is being a fuckwit, and you cannot get ahold of an admin.

Summary:

Admins:

Have pink names on discord.
Handle player complaints and resolve bugs.
Mediate disputes between players and the dm team.
Possess Perma Ban Privileges.
Can do everything a storyteller can, plus some.
Fix bugs, build areas, etc...

Storytellers:

Do not engage in player OOC disputes, mediate OOC conflict, nor resolve OOC bugs (they can login and help with IC bugs).
They tell stories (duh), and will probably be the most inclined to help with your personal plots and story.
Do not Discord Ban or Moderation Privileges.
They can issue temporary Bans if rules are being broken and reason is not heard, subject to admin review.
Vote on Applications
Oversee PvP.

Builders:

Have Mod Access
Fix Module Bugs and help develop content.
Do not login as DMs.

Loves heavily flawed characters, as well as people who execute the art of losing with elegant suffering. I'm also a hopeless romantic, loving to watch/read romantic and friendship stories blossom, but at the same time I cannot stand cringe for the life of me. My favourite thing is to watch characters rise from their failures, and grow further. Suppose I am a bit of a sadist, cause I just love watching suffering and the people who fight to survive. Honestly, I am open to most ideas as long as they are telling an engaging story for people.

Best time to catch me is between 6pm to 10pm UTC+1, however I can also lurk during other hours but that's less certain. Due to being an admin, I spend /a lot/ of time on the forums, being the fun police, resolve bugs, support Storytellers, discuss applications, discuss CoA goals, manage complaints, or make stuff in the toolset. So, whilst it isn't as visible, my post count keeps ticking up!

I like competitive plotlines between player groups, ideally ones which don't -require- those groups ever even meeting in game (though that can be pretty cool) as this stops time zones being a problem.

I extremely rarely run events, but they come in two forms:

I spend a week (or more) building and scripting custom stuff, and it's either some kind of dungeon crawl, or some "DMless" plot anyone can interact with (that is normally competitive) -These ones normally affect the setting itself, or factions (player or DM) as opposed to individual characters.
I spot some players in game doing cool stuff, and run something "on the fly" - normally after telling at least one of the players in the group to slow whatever they are doing down a bit so I can do some pre-set up (these are normally the ones that directly affect individual character story lines)
