How To Give An ST A Moderation Request Reach Around
Example the First: You want a gnosis thread!
The Wrong Way
Hi! Jane needs a gnosis mark from Ivak. Will you mod the thread for me?
The Right Way
Hi! Jane needs a gnosis mark from Ivak. Do you have time to mod the thread for me?
I am leaning toward making her a Zaital due to x, y and z reason, but I understand that is ultimately the mod’s call which Azenth family she fits best.
Below I have included links to applicable threads which demonstrate why Jane would attract Ivak’s attention. The summary is that Jane has done x, y and z.
Jane’s character goals are liberating the rats in Ravok and, of course, Ivak Himself.
(If applicable -) This will be Jane’s second gnosis mark from Ivak. Here is a link to her first Ivak gnosis thread as moderated by ST Awesome. It has been over a year since that thread was begun and you may peruse the attached links for the required ten in the interim proving she has been a faithful and active Azenth.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Jane’s Player.
In Conclusion
You need to take as much time and effort in your mod request as you expect the mod to take in it.

ST Reach Around: II
Example the Second: you want a training thread!
The Wrong Way
Hi! Bill needs training in long sword. Can you help me out?
The Right Way
Hi!
Bill needs training in long sword and as he is already at Competent level with 42 XPs, an Expert or higher in Long Sword is required to teach him. I am aware that we are not allowed to write NPCs with an Expert or higher in any skill without ST permission.
May I self moderate the NPC John Doe at Awesome Armory for training purposes in a thread?
OR
Do you have time to moderate an NPC long sword expert for me?
Thank you!
Bill’s Player.
In Conclusion
We do not have an abundance of STs and, as such, those we do have are often overloaded with modded threads. There are things that require a modded thread, but of those that do not require a modded thread are:
- training threads
- job threads
Training Threads – An NPC must have a higher skill level than your PC in order to teach them. However, most STs do not require you to gain permission to self mod your own training thread unless the NPC is an expert or higher in a skill or the NPC you wish to use is city-owned instead of made up out of your head. In those circumstances, you have options other than asking your local ST to mod. They are:
- Gain permission to self mod
- Ask a friend to apply to the HD for permission to guest mod for you
Job Threads – It is not required to have a job thread in order to obtain employment. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule from city to city and job to job; however, ask your DS if you need a modded thread to gain employment. A lot of the time you don’t.
Yes, I’m stressing minimizing the number of modded threads you request from STs. This is because there are plenty ST modded threads which are required and necessary and not enough STs to go around. Of course, it’s flattering that you want to write a thread with an ST because so many of them are awesome; but don’t make the ST feel bad when, because they have a zillion modded threads going already, others to grade, plots to build, development to develop, they have to put you off or turn you down.

ST Reach Around: III
Example the Third: You want to go on an adventure!
The Wrong Way
Hi! I’m bored and Lola needs something exciting to do. Will you mod a quest for me?
The Right Way
Hi!
I’ve been struggling with getting Lola’s primary character plot off the ground/furthered. Her ultimate goal is to become the Pressorah of Ahnatep which leads to her secondary goals – presently the acquirement of what I would love to be some snazzy political secret buried in the catacombs beneath Dira’s temple.
I need help figuring out the details what she can potentially learn that will, hopefully, result in her having leverage to blackmail Sinister Dude.
Do you have time to help me figure out the best way to go about this? Your ideas are welcome.
Thanks!
Lola’s Player.
In Conclusion
STs do not, for the most part, have time to do a modded thread for you just because you’re lacking in entertainment. That’s what PCs are for. Frankly, it’s kinda rude to ask an ST to mod a thread for you because you’re bored rather than asking them if they have a PC they might want to thread with. Us STs, we love our PCs, but they are often sorely neglected.
On the other hand, if you have a character goal and/or plot idea (the first translates into the second, remember, class?) and part of it requires moderation due to whatever rules (NPCs, acquired goodies, etc) and/or you need some help solidifying it and require a soundboarder, yes. Absolutely. Talk to an ST. I am happy to help with such things. Just remember that in order for an ST to help you make something awesome, you first have to give that ST something to work with.
