Dead Souls Administration
|
|
|
|
Being a successful MUD admin is heavily dependent
|
|
on how well you can get stuff done. It also depends on
|
|
your ability to manage people, resolve conflict, articulate
|
|
direction, enforce guidelines, and inspire loyalty.
|
|
But those other things I can't help you with. What
|
|
I can help you with is having the tools you need to get
|
|
stuff done.
|
|
|
|
Your most valuable tools will be the Dead Souls FAQs:
|
|
|
|
http://dead-souls.net/ds-admin-faq.html
|
|
|
|
http://dead-souls.net/ds-creator-faq.html
|
|
|
|
Almost everything else will flow from your
|
|
familiarity and understanding of the information there.
|
|
|
|
Navigate to the /secure/cmds/admins directory. This
|
|
is where your commands are. Know them. Understand them.
|
|
In particular, pay close attention to the command:
|
|
|
|
admintool
|
|
|
|
It is a valuable tool for new admins to get important
|
|
stuff done before they are 100% familiar with everything
|
|
they need.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the intermud Dead Souls community is a
|
|
vital resource. They are (thus far) friendly and helpful,
|
|
and if the Player's Handbook, Creator's Manual, and
|
|
the (upcoming) Admin's Guide don't have the answer, use
|
|
the <ds> channel to ask for help.
|
|
|
|
As to the qualities of leadership, determination,
|
|
humility, responsibility, fairness, and selflessness you'll
|
|
need to make a successful mud, you are on your own.
|
|
|
|
Good luck.
