The majority of this information came from Twinpedia, the French wiki, the French Mush Castings page, and from http://twinoid.com/en/tid/forum#!view/112222

Icon 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 Any Ticket 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 Gold Ticket. However, the Gold Ticket is only valid if the ship was random, not a casting ship.
  • When purchasing Icon Gold Mode, the user will automatically receive a number of Gold Ticket based on the number of gold days purchased.
  • NERON gives players 1 Free Ticket per month in which the player plays the game. Icon Gold Mode players can accrue up to 6 of these, all other players are limited to 2.
  • Gold Ticket can also be purchased from the Vending Machine for Klix


Creating a Casting

  • To create a casting 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.

The limit is 3 joined Castings in Icon Gold Mode, and 1 joined Casting in Icon Silver or Icon Bronze Mode. If you drop from Icon 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 Any Ticket as they desire.
  • Once 50 Any Ticket 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.
