== How to become electable to be a GM on the official server ==

If you are still interested in answering the more technical or account related support questions and dealing with issues of abuse, we have produced a guide to inform you of what we expect from our GMs. If you are doing everything in the list below, we will notice and might one day ask you.

Please don't be fooled into thinking being a Game Master is fun, it's mostly a job and a responsibility. You must not use the power gained to profit your character or your friends' characters in game (or for that matter, anyone else!) To put it simply: if you want to be a GM simply because you want to cheat, then you are not suitable for becoming a GM. (See [[Stendhal:Administration#Required_adminlevel|Adminlevels]] for details). Again, mostly GMs are not visible in game.

Please describe, why you want to become a GM. You may get some ideas from this list:

* Been successful in following the guidelines at [[Stendhal Helper Role]]
* Be able to answer /support questions
* Help people (not by doing their work but explaining how to do it) and be as nice as possible
* Finish all current quests in main game server (without using GM power), so you know almost everything about them when people ask you the hows & whys
* noticed this line containing a non existing wordto
* contribute to the project
** Report bugs and if you can, fix bugs
** Create maps/sprites/images/tilesets (contribute graphics) for game
** Submit ideas and feature requests
** Create code for feature requests
** Create new NPCs and/or new quests
** Create stories
** Contribute to this wiki by adding missing sections or fixing mistakes (you just need to create an account)
* Be fair to everyone as much as possible
* Behave well and with patience
* Be trustworthy 
* Have language skills to help translate or answer questions which are not in English, Spanish or German.
* Add, update and edit articles on the wiki, like guides, refactoring, stories, etc. 
* Host the main game server
* Realise that being an admin on another server is not relevant
* Be at least 18 years of age 
* Understand enough of the game internals to investigate complex issues

For those who do not speak English as a native language:
* '''Si no puedes leer esta pagina entera entonces tampoco puedes ser administrador.''' (Español)
* '''Jesli nie potrafisz przetlumaczyc tej strony tak by ja przeczytac nie mozesz byc adminem.''' (Polski)
* '''Wenn du diese Webseite nicht übersetzen kannst, kannst du auch kein Admin sein. '''(Deutsch)
* '''Если вы не можете прочитать весь текст этой страницы, то и админом вы быть не можете. '''(Russian)

In any case, as previously stated, it is up to the development team to decide who will actually become a GM.

And remember: contributing to this wonderful project (for which it has been said, on at least one occasion, that its reputation precedes it ;)) should be reward enough in itself.
