DESCRIPTION
	It is now possible for a mortal to apply for wizardhood, rather than
	playing his way up through the ranks and quests. Perhaps the
	application process outlined below is as harsh as playing all the way
	up; perhaps it is not. Read this through, and spend some time thinking
	about it.

REQUIREMENTS
	1/ Understand that if your application is accepted, you have 3 months
	   in which to get an open area of at least 25 high quality locations
	   going, or good code to be used in the mudlib. If you fail, for any
           reason, your characters will be erased and you will have to start
	   over from scratch.

	2/ You must have reached level 15 as a normal mortal. This is to
	   ensure that you are familiar with the game and the special feeling
	   of NannyMUD.

	3/ You must have coding skills. This is to ensure that you will be
	   able to learn the special language the game is created in, LPC,
	   within reasonable time.

	4/ You must have a valid email address to which the NannyMUD Admin can
	   direct questions and comments.

	5/ The application must be written in English and sent to someone in
	   the administation or nannymud@lysator.liu.se.

	6/ Write an application with no less than 2500 words. The only piece
	   of personal data we require is the one in point 4/ above. We will
	   of course be curious about you, but you are free not to reveal any
	   personal details. If you do, they will be treated with courtesy and
	   discretion. Things we would like to know includes:

		  + Your coding experience.
		  + Operating systems you are familiar with.
		  + Programming languages you know.
		  + Your experience of MUDs.
		  + Your view on wizard/player interaction.
		  + Your view on game balance.
		  + The general style of your area.

	   Other possible things to cover could be:

		  + Other MUDs where you have been, or still are, a creator.
		  + The status of those MUDs.
		  + If you plan to continue to create on them.
		  + If you have left them, we would like to know why.
		  + Positions of power you hold in other MUDs, and your plan
		    with those.
		  + Roleplaying experience.
		  + Your favourite books.

	   End your application with a short summary about why you think we
	   should grant you a wizardhood. 

PROCESSING
	Read the application through, let it be a few days, read it again.
	This will help you see weaknesses and errors. Then contact someone in
	the Admin, and send the application using email. The applications
	will be handled at an RL admin meeting. There are just two verdicts:
	accepted and rejected. If an application has been rejected, you may
	still play your way up to wizardhood, but you may not make any further
	applications.
