Revision as of 07:30, 15 January 2014

Castings are currently available only to the French version of Mush, and are in Beta testing, which is due to end shortly. Castings are effectively groups or clans, similar to other portions of Twinoid. Castings are created via the expenditure of Any Ticket earned or purchased in Mush.


Tickets

Tickets for castings can be earned in various ways, there are only two currently available to English Mush users:

  • Be on a ship that lasts 10 days or more (ie: you reach day 11, cycle 1)
  • Purchase Gold Ticket with extended Icon Gold Mode selections. Each time aboard a ship on which 10+ days elapse, each member still alive at that point receives 1 Gold Ticket. Icon Gold Mode users may buy more tickets, see purchase options for details.

On the French Mush, Free Ticket are also accrued (up to a maximum of 2) for simply playing Mush. One Free Ticket is earned for each ship completed, up to the maximum number allowed. Icon Gold Mode users may have larger numbers of Free Ticket. Gold Ticket can also be purchased from the Vending machine.


Creating a Casting

  • To create a casting (currently available on the French Mush only) you need 3 Any Ticket. 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.

On the French Mush, the current limit is 3 joined Castings in Icon Gold Mode, and 1 joined Casting in Silver or Bronze mode. If you drop from Icon Gold Mode to Silver or Bronze, 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 a Casting

  • All participants may submit as many Any Ticket as they desire.
  • Once 45 or 50 Any Ticket have been submitted, the Casting becomes permanent. Icon Warning: The French wiki says 50, and the French Mush site says 45.
  • 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.


Casting 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.


Leveling Up a Casting

  • First Level costs 25 XP.
  • 1 Any Ticket can be exchanged for 1 Casting XP.
  • XP is also gained for the Casting by participating in Casting-launched ships.
  • The level of the Casting determines the max number of players.
  • Leveling Up a Casting can unlock special game play modes and options.
  • For example: reaching Level One unlocks the Garden Gnomes, which doubles the starting number of Mush on board.


Joining a Casting

  • There is a link to the Castings page on the French Mush which lists the currently existing Castings.
  • Clicking on a casting will display a Join/Apply link, if there is any room left in the Casting. This will cost you Any Ticket.


Disbanding or Leaving a Casting

  • The Creator can disband a Casting. If done so, all invested Any Ticket are refunded.
  • If a player leaves a Casting, Funded Any Ticket are lost. Be careful whom you join.


Rights and Options of Casting Members

  • A Creator or Moderator can start launch a ship or ships early, if there are enough players who are in Ready status.
  • Everyone can use a Any Ticket to set Ready status. This will put you into a ship when the Casting launches a ship, but only if you are not currently in an active ship.
  • Different ranks can be assigned, such as: Spore, Mutant, Teleomorph, and Grand Mushling.
