Generally speaking, no, unless you have passed a certification!
CRC: Content Runners Certification.
The CRC is a test which must be retaken every year by someone that wants to run content at Xadune. Depending on your experience with game and length of time you have run things for Xadune effects the tier of CRC you can have. There are currently three tiers. The requirements to test for a CRC is as follows:
– Must have played the game for at least 9 events.
– Must have attended the past 5 event for at least a half event prior to testing.
– Must be in good standing – no formal warnings or bans on their record for the past year.
– Must pass the CRC Test with 80% or higher.
The CRC test is a fifty-question test comprised of short answer, true/false, multiple choice, and essay style questions as well as two test modules. Can be attempted twice every 5 events or half year. The test must be taken in-person with a Staff or Story Team member present the entire time. Certification lasts (1) year from time approved, after which one can update their cert by taking a shorter refresher test with-in three months of their CRC expiring.
Part of the test is running two test modules with supervision. These will be mods the CRC applicant will develop with the aid of a Staff or Story-team member. The first mod is heavily supervised and assistance will be given with stating, loot, and general ideas. The second mod is less supervised and be more of a demonstration of the CRC applicant’s talents. Feedback is given after each mod.
Certification can be revoked for the following reasons:
○ Receiving a Formal Warning
○ Failing to adhere to or enforce the Xadune rules
○ Running unapproved content at Xadune
So that’s a lot of work for this, what does it get you? A CRC allows a person to submit mods to run during the event. Upon approval, mod will be scheduled and ran. Depending on the tier level depends on what you can run. Tiers are earned by years of experience running mods at Xadune.
Tiers
– 1st year certification: Can run one mod an event, during the day time only. These are not allowed to be Town Battles or mods that are designed for more than 8 players.
– 2nd year certification: Can run up to two mods an event. Can run nighttime mods. These are not allowed to be Town Battles, or mods that are designed for more than 15 players.
– 3rd year certification: Can run Town Battles. Large, inclusive battles or events which are designed to engage at least 75% of town. Story ideas can also be far reaching and last an entire event or multiple if required.
All mods for all levels of certification must be submitted in full to Xadune Staff and can only be run with approval of Xadune Staff.
Gaining certification levels requires running content at two events per every three events over the course of a year. Should a mod be missed, the CRC holder may be allowed to make up the missed event’s content by doubling up at an event. More details on that as the need arises.
Finally, previous (and future) Plot experience will count towards certification level time. So, if you have served on Plot in the past, you can take you CRC and start off at Tier 2. For future reference, the CRC test will be required for those of you that want to be on plot in the future.
And for those of you curious about what is on the test: anything and everything Xadune. Test questions will be pulled form a pool we have been making over the past few years, so no test should be alike. Questions range from being straight forward rules questions, to important historical questions about the game. Knowing the PHB is the first step in preparing for the CRC. Learning the history of the in-play game would be the next. Lastly, we will say their will be marked situational questions. These questions have no right or wrong answer in a sense that we are looking for a sense on how you will handle yourself in the situations. We need content runners that will not just entertain the players of Xadune, but also help us make sure everyone is playing fairly and within our set rules. We need people that can enforce this when needed, not just turn a blind eye.
