======================================================================Other: policy immortals======================================================================Syntax:The Immortals on Buffymud have fairly free reign.  Their governing ruleis that they should not interfere with the game in such a way as topreference any particular player in a tangible way. What that means is that an immortal can do things like take on a guise to RPwith people, or talk on chat, etc...  But they can't change someone's stats,fiddle with circles, etc...  I'm sure you get the idea.  The only exceptionis they're allowed to reward people with a bit of exp for participating inquests and the like.  If you think an Immortal is breaking these rules, seehelp policy reports.Immortals will generally try to help with anything that doesn't affect thegame tangibly, like restringing people's accents, eyes, and circle names.As long as what you're asking isn't going to make you more powerful, or beunfair in any way, we'll try to accommodate you. Immortals are allowed to, and do from time to time have mortal alts.  I dorequest that all immortals keep their alts secret.  There are two reasonsfor this.  Firstly: The immortal in question is likely going to want to beable to play the game, like a normal player, without people treating themdifferently.  The second reason is that many players would react differentlyif they knew a character was an immortal.  It's unfair to other circles, forexample, if everyone is joining the circle of an Immortal's alt just becausethey know that that person is an immortal and they want to earn theimmortal's favor or just bask in reflected glory.  It's unfair to a playerwho won't want to PK someone, out of fear of immortal retribution.  Becausethere is, and will always be players who can't seperate an player's mortalidentity from their immortal one, known immortal alts hurt the game. Immortals who do play morts aren't given any special privileges.  They areexpected to level up, RP, and earn everything they get the same as everyoneelse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
