About Immortals Immortals, also known as imms, are the individuals who run a mud. They are called immortals because they cannot die and because they have far greater powers than the mortals, the players. The tasks that imms perform include game-code additions and revisions, making and enforcing rules, running quests, creating and overseeing the creation of gaming areas, and assisting clans and players. There are imms of different ranks, much like there are mortals of different ranks within a clan, a philosophically-like-minded group of players. The imms at the top manage the mud in general and also, like the imms beneath them, perform any of the tasks mentioned above. The immortals at the top are usually titled imps or implementors, while those just beneath them are usually called creators (sub-imps on ET). In addition to running the mud, imms roleplay, play a part in the drama of the mud. Imms interact with mortals, for whom they throw quests. On ET, imms were once involved with clans, but eventually left them to take on other duties. Imms also change the mud based on their ideas or on ideas suggested by players. They are almost always players or ex-players who decided, for one reason or another, that they wished to help run a mud. Imming is a job, but one that is satisfying in that it entails the creation, maintenence and enhancement of a fantasy-world with, based on the players around, a life of its own. Dimi 12-13-03 |
