Video 18 - The Admins




Server Admins have access to a number of different abilities on the TLO server which are used to improve people's day to day roleplaying experience  and, in extreme cases, deal with disruptive players.

Server admins have the ability to kick (or remove from the server) misbehaving players without having to call a vote amongst the other players present on the server. In addition they may also ban consistently disruptive players from accessing the server all together. If you ever need an admin for this purpose you can usually get hold of one by posting in the shoutbox or by filing a 'n00b report' on the forums. Admins also have the ability to read all text that is sent across the server including 'Local area' chat in areas they are not present in as well as all private messages sent between players.

The Admins can also provide a number of different services on the server. One of the most frequently used admin abilities is to add background music to a roleplay (or at least to play music that will be heard by all of the players at the same time. Any player may add their own background music locally). Admins can also add special effects . These will range from creating forcefields on the server or shaking the map to simulate a hit on the ship to creating sparks, smoke or even explosions.
