{{TOC right}}{{Warning|
The majority of this information came from [http://www.twinpedia.com/mush/ Twinpedia, the French wiki], the French Mush Castings page, and from http://twinoid.com/en/tid/forum#!view/112222|thread/32438818 this forum thread] which summarizes a translation of the French wiki.}}

{{Todo|Many informations are still missing. }}

Castings are effectively groups or clans, similar to other portions of Twinoid. Castings are created via the expenditure of {{Ticket|any}} earned or purchased in Mush. 

As stated on the French wiki, and loosely translated: ''"The goal of Castings is to encourage large groups of players with the same aspirations and goals in gameplay..."''

==Tickets==
Tickets for castings can be earned in various ways:
*Be on a ship that lasts 10 days or more (ie: you reach day 10, cycle 1). Each time a ship lasts 10 or more days, each member of the ship (whether alive or dead) receives 1 {{Ticket|gold}}. However, the {{Ticket|gold}} is only valid if the ship was random, not a casting ship.
*When purchasing {{Gold Mode}}, the user will automatically receive a number of {{ticket|gold}} based on the number of gold days purchased.
*NERON gives players 1 {{ticket|blue}} per month in which the player plays the game. {{Gold Mode}} players can accrue up to 6 of these, all other players are limited to 2.
*{{Ticket|gold}} can also be purchased from the [[Vending Machine]] for {{klix}}


==Creating a Casting==
*To create a casting you need 3 {{Ticket|any}}. This will create a temporary Casting. 
*A name must be created, or accepted from the proposed options. (Maximum of 50 characters in the name).
*The initial creator of the Casting is given the title of '''Creator'''. 
The limit is 3 joined Castings in {{Gold Mode}}, and 1 joined Casting in {{Silver}} or {{Bronze Mode}}. If you drop from {{Gold}} to ''Silver'', and you are joined with 2 or 3 Castings, you will be unable to launch with any ships until you reduce your Castings to 1.}}

==Funding==
*All participants may submit as many {{Ticket|any}} as they desire. 
*Once 50 {{Ticket|any}} have been submitted, the Casting becomes permanent.
*Once funded, a forum is created for the Casting. Only members of the Casting can access their specific forum. 
*Additional members can apply to a Casting even after it is funded. 


==Forum==
*The '''Creator''' of the forum becomes the moderator of the forum and all members. 
*The '''Creator''' may appoint other moderators. 
*The '''Creator''' and appointed '''Moderators''' can assign forum ranks and roles. 


==Ranks==
{{Main|Castings Ranks}}

*Castings can increase in rank, increasing the maximum members and unlocking [[Castings Options]].
*Casting {{CXP}} is required for the [[Castings_Ranks|casting rank]] to increase.
*1 {{Ticket|any}} can be exchanged by anyone for 1{{CXP}}. 
*25{{CXP}} is gained for every casting-launched ship completed.
