New Member Class and Forum

Role playing has long been an important part of the Housepets! forum community. For years, game masters have worked tirelessly to put together compelling adventures, leading to the creation of hundreds of fan characters and expanding the Housepets! universe tremendously. In recognition of these game masters' ongoing efforts, we're introducing the Game Master user class. Leaders of currently-active neighborhoods are eligible for entry and all those who responded to the recent neighborhood activity survey have already been inducted.

Active Game Masters have access to a private forum, in which they may discuss recruitment and retention strategies, brainstorm new ideas, and work with forum staff to make the role playing experience even greater than it already is. Each neighborhood has a staff liason, who will be available to assist with any rule- or software-related issues.

Congratulations,Game Masters, and thanks for every millisecond you've put toward making this community an exciting place to play!

This is a very nice idea. Can't wait to see who the GMs are and who works really hard on this board for their games =)

Sorry, that was a mistake on my part. I didn't take into consideration that it could cause confusion. I'm really sorry, y'all. I'm kind of an idiot.

maybe we could change the color to a yellow, a darker blue, or an orange?

Also is it possible to put the initials of the neighborhood we GM next to our current title? Like for example mine would be "EA Game Master"

I personally feel differently colored names should only be with those who are a part of the mod staff. It'll just get too confusing for new members since most mods don't actually have "moderator" as their title.

there is a way, the same way the mods have different titles. Diss would just have to go in and add the initials.

That would entail adding and assigning 11 new ranks. The moderators don't have the forums they run in their rank title and at least one GM manages more than one neighborhood. I don't anticipate implementing this suggestion. If you wanna discuss it further, hit me up in the GM Support forum.

I still think we should have a S.T.A.R.S Team to prevent a zombie apocalypse hitting the forums someday.

It would be way cooler if the rank is actually "omniscient deity"

If he disappoints himself, then he would be appointing everyone else.
