The main thing to remember is '''don't ask us, we ask you'''. We recruit admin when we need and we choose, so asking us 'Can i be an admin?' is not likely to help you. |

You may be one of the many asking this question, "how do I become a game admin or game master (GM)?" so we have produced a guide to inform you of what we expect from our GMs. If you are doing everything in the list below, we will notice and might one day ask you. |

Don't be fooled into thinking being a Game Master is fun, it's mostly a job and a responsibility. You must not use the power gained to profit your character or your friends' characters in game (or for that matter, anyone else!) To put it simply: if you want to be a GM simply because you want to cheat, then FORGET IT! (See [[Stendhal:Administration#Required_adminlevel|Adminlevels]] for details) |
