I think the question of the immortals on a mud is very important, perhaps one of the most important considerations in administrating a mud. If you are trying to run a large mud, you HAVE to have a good number of immortals that you trust to help you out. I have attempted to admin a large mud by myself. It is impossible. There are just too many questions, problems, bitches, gripes, you name it to deal with alone. So every mud needs a 'staff' of immortals to help out. How can you trust them to run your game? IMHO, the best people you can have to help you admin your mud is real life friends. You can indeed trust these people. Sometimes however, your real life friends aren't interested in muds. (What? Non-mud-related friends! No waaaay!!) So you have to trust people you don't know 'personally'. At that point go with people you have known on the net a long time. The longer you have known someone, the better you are likely to be. In all cases, keep a very sharp eye on them. Even your personal friends can get carried away with their 'duties'. This can indeed be unintended. The same goes for the imp in many ways. :) Thats what friends are for I suppose. :) Cheers. -Dana
