Become a Resident!

So you'd like to be a resident at Ista Weyr? We'd love to have you!

First, we recommend that anyone seeking residency take some time to look through our Character Creation page to learn more about what sort of character development we expect from our residents. Our +lhelp files and the +bboards are also great resources.

We're currently trying out a new system that should help make residency an easy transition. All you have to do is type '+request residency' while in an Istan room on the game and you'll be added to the knot with the position of Newcomer.

Newcomers are given temporary access to the knot for 10 days. During this time, we'll be looking to see that they have sane character concepts that works with the Ista's setting (no albino giants, please), that they are capable roleplayers who are comfortable with the written word (no, you don't have to be an English professor) and that they are regularly active and involved in roleplay around the Weyr (actually logging in and getting out). Once a newcomer has shown these qualities, we will change their position (see our Resident Positions page for ideas) and they will retain their knot! Otherwise, knot access will automatically expire.

This is a new system and we welcome feedback! Feel free to +mail the admin team with any questions or comments you might have.
