Thank you all for sending in your builder applications. At this point, my ability to process them is completely filled. I have hired a half dozen builders, and I intend to work another half dozen to dozen in over the next month. If you didn't get hired, I am retaining all of your applications for my continued hiring, so no need to resubmit them. Thanks to all of you that have participated, and congratulations to those that are now working with us. And to clear up a point, there will be many more opportunities to earn a slot on the beta. And I won't yet tell you how people are selected for the beta outside of that ;)

Artemis

i'm excited about this MUD starting.. sounds like real funnnn! yay, im finally number 1 on a comment.. go meee!

Congratulations to all who were hired.

I'm trying to figure out how to apply to be a builder... If someone could post that information here I'd appriciate it... In the meantime I'm gonna go search the news archives at Mugglenet...

Go to "Job Openings" at MuggleNet. It's near the top on the left-hand side.

Thanks, I found it! Now I've just gotta draft an application... Hope I do okay...

I wasn't sure how to make an application, so I just said I was reliable, had a ton of free time (as you can see from how much I post here...), and that I am a huge Harry Potter fan.

When or if Artemis replies... you'll have to take a bit of a test... ;) Just to see how well you would do as a building or coder or whatever you're applying for.

Thanks for the tip... Tests are good...

That's good to know!

congrats to all that were hired

Anyone know what codebase or builders programs they have?
Or if they have an OLC system?

yay! I hope I can be a tester! If only I were good at names... Sigh, well, that's life...Good luck everyone...Can't wait to see how it come out!

COMGRATS TO ALL OF THOES WHO MADE IT!!

Ao: Email me at the FAQ email address. Or throw me your AIM name :)

gee, I wonder how many of these suggested names will have something to do with the word "MUDblood"? hmmm I'm guessing about half.

never thought of that CARM...LOL

but MUD is just the style of game, right? Multi User Dimension or something....

True

so anyone know when were going to be able to start playing?

You can play when it's done.
Until then you'll just have to wait.

"MUDblood" is a good name...I wish I thought of it!

*nods at Aniline*

YAY for this. Can't wait! Thanks Mugglenet!

Hmm... "MUDblood" is clever, but I really don't like any names that use a swearword so easily.

yes, but it isan't exactly a real swear...Just a HP one...

...But if it's a HP game, then WITHIN the game it's a real swear... And if we use it casually, I believe it would detract from the overall... wossname... Anyway, Artemis will decide.

I think it';s kind of rude that those who were not chosen weren't notified. We were left out in the air with our hopes up, and I'm rather disappointed that I wasn't contacted just to tell me I wasn't accepted

LupinSense,
Yeah i agree with you, ive been waiting so long for a reply (even if its a rejection) just so i can stop checking my e-mail every 5 seconds. Oh well, let's still keep our fingers crossed cause theyre not done the hiring yet!!!

Congratulations to the Area Builders who have been selected! :)

*agrees with LupineSense and Me* I've been checking my mail every five minutes.

I bet that there are 2 reasons you didn't get notified if you didn't get the job.
1) Too many people have sent in applications.
2) Even if they just used the mass option to mail all of them, Artemis said that they'll go on hiring new people. So, why mail you now saying you didn't get the job if they are intending to do more hirings?

I've been talking about the contest, not the job applications. I know I have a very, very slim chance of getting a job as a builder. The contest, however...Well, I can hope!

Ops, misunderstood then. But I think the others have been talking about the hirings, so...

Yeah, they probably have...

Yeah... Can't wait to find out what the MUD's gonna be called, though...

I think it's great for the ones who get the job. I don't have time to do any of that, but I wish you guys goodluck who are doing it sounds wicked cool. <3

is it ok to send in more apps.? I just did, then read this post. sorry if we werent supposed to..

Nope, they are still hiring! Don't worry, they'll keep it until hiring is over! Don't worry!

I can't wait for this thing to start! But in the meantime...I'll think up some sort of name...hmmmm...

i think the names i sent in were things like
essence divided
alohamora (open doors to a new world)
and such...not great but....

You can still send in your application. It just means don't resubmit it if you have already sent one in. :)

thanks so much! I hope we hear back soon!! ah to be able to combine the two loves of my life... writing, and harry potter!!! *sighs* wow, that would be the life!

*crys for the beauty of it*

Yes... It would be marvelous... *barely succeeds in not drooling*

I think a cool name would be:

MUDblood Madness

i really cant wait. i just cant. this almost equals my antitapation for the next book. its magical. it really is.

Ah, yes, ALMOST equals, just like the rest of us

*anticipation beyond immagination*

Hmm... Until then, y'all might want to take a look at http://s6.invisionfree.com/magicsfinest/index.php?
