The Lead Roles in Mythia require dedicated, active and proactive players leading them. These are roles in which the role play is contingent on and if the players in these positions are not here, the role play stops.
Time
We all do multiple things in sl, play on different sims, love ooc time shop, the list goes on, however in a leadership role if people can't rp with you to move forward the rp stops. Those players waiting for that lead get bored, frustrated and then leave. We do expect those that want these lead roles to put in the time and effort to keep their part of the story running. This means we need you on sim and in public ready to roleplay with everyone.
If you do not have the time to dedicate to a Lead Role on sim, please do not apply to hold one. We have plenty of job and roles on sim that do not have a time requirement
RL Happens
If you need to be away from sl or roleplay it is your responsibility to let and admin know. Those that disappear for more than a week with no notice will be in danger of having their role removed from them.
Perks
Lead positions require dedicated time to the sim and as admin we do offer perks. As you read through the different jobs, those perks are listed on the job page.
Lead Roles are not Admin or a mod.
In taking a lead role you are not a mod or an Admin, therefore it is not your job to handles problems that come up during roleplay. If a problem arises bring your concerns to an admin and we will help settle the dispute.

OOC OF LEAD ROLES
- MONTHLY MEETINGS The lead roles will get together once a month ooc to relay any information about current story lines, suggest story lines and even create new story lines with other leads. The admin will help support you in the stories as long as the follow the lore.
- NOT IN CHARGE OF DRAMA Lead Roles are not responsible for OOC DRAMA. If anything comes up in this regard we ask you to immediately contact an admin to help resolve the situation. (If you are directly involved in the drama it is hard to remain neutral). Your power is all in-character.
- YOUR JOB YOUR RULES Rules for your job will be posted on the website as soon as you have them set up.
- GIVE THE POWER OF DECISIONS TO OTHERS We do recommend that all leads pick at least two other players that can speak for them in case they are unavailable for a roleplay scene. Nothing ends roleplay faster than a long pause in a story waiting for player to come around. If a player is can't be there and does not have someone to speak for their character. The admin will ask another player to stand in or use an NPC to keep the story going. ( Please let an admin know when you will not be available for roleplay and who will be speaking for your character)
- CAPTURE AND CRIMES The Lead Roles still answer to the council. They can be captured and they can be convicted of crimes. If they are captured they will not lose their position but they will have to appoint a person to take their character's job until they have served their time. For crimes, if it is a minor crime or they beat the maze the Lead role will be allowed to return to their position after their time is considered served. For major crimes the lead role could lose their job. (this is all depending on the RP. A crime does not automatically mean your lose the position).
- COUNCIL MEMBER PERK Another perk of being a lead role is that your character may be eligible to serve on one of the two councils. (Let an admin know if you are interested)
LEAD ROLES AND PRIVATE ROLEPLAY
As part of roleplay we create stories with others to further our characters. This character growth can be through finding love, overcoming tragedy or a billion other reasons. In order for characters to accomplish the players goals or ideas private roleplay is needed. This can be difficult in a lead role as you are always needed by someone. As mentioned before we do recommend you have one or two other players that your characters trust to make decisions for you when you are unavailable. (For rl or roleplay reasons). As this will help keep roleplay moving forward we do have to stress that as a player you have requested to play a role that involves mostly public roleplay.
Lead roles are expected to be willing to roleplay with anyone and to avoid only roleplaying with friends. As admin our job is to keep the roleplay moving and yes to take in complaints by players. A big complaint in sl currently is arriving on a sim and the leads are cliquey. Meaning the leads and players won't roleplay with others outside their circles. If this becomes and issues with a lead, the admin have the right to remove them from this role.
Another concern with private roleplay is the lead never coming out of the bedroom. Occasionally having someone cover for you while you get your groove on is alright. Remember in character working is a big deal to Mythians. This could not only have ooc consequences but ic consequences as well.
