Call for Mortal Builders!

Addressed to: Everyone
Do you love reading (and critiquing) room descriptions? Are you an avid quester with a million ideas for new adventures or improved puzzles? Do you long to see more than your tailoring/jewellery/cooking designs become part of the world?
Perhaps you've perished too many times at the hands of the Dreadpilar, lingered too long at the mercy of the infested Vertani, or perhaps been overwhelmed by the ferocity of the World Tree's rats and foliage, and relish the chance to have a hand in creating something dastardly.
If so, you may have what it takes to be a mortal builder! Read on...
We are looking for players who are:
- Experienced and knowledgeable about the game world
- Excellent and creative writers
- Self-starters
- Reliable, disciplined, and able to meet deadlines
- Passionate about making Achaea the BEST immersive experience possible!
The mortal building program is all about writing. It is heavily focussed on helping to develop new areas, revising and improving existing areas in Achaea, and contributing written work on a variety of projects. This can include anything from room descriptions, denizen descriptions, quest items, attacks, atmospheric effects, or anything in between. Still interested? Read HELP MORTAL BUILDERS for even more details about the program.
To apply, send a plain-text email to builders@achaea.com with:
- Your real name and age, character name(s), and relevant writing experience (whether in Achaea, another MUD, or otherwise).
- A few sentences on why you would be a great builder.
- A short critique of an existing area in the game. What is good about it? What is lacking? How would you change it to improve it for other players?
- Two flawless room descriptions that would fit well within the area you critiqued (see HELP STYLE for what we expect).
- Descriptions for a denizen who might be found in either of those rooms (see HELP STYLE for this part as well).
All volunteer contributors to Achaea are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, so you must be 18 years old (in real life) to apply.
Applications will be accepted until 23:59 GMT Monday, December 16th. You will receive a reply when we have finished considering all applications!
If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to send me a message directly!
Penned by My hand on the 5th of Aeguary, in the year 817 AF.
