They are collectively known as the game's '''staff''', with each staff member assigned one of four staff roles: <font color="#00A000">'''Secretary'''</font>, <font color="#000099">'''Vice Minister'''</font>, <font color="red">'''Minister'''</font>, or <font color="blue">'''Governor'''</font>.

<b>Editors:</b><br>
+
===Vice Minister===
• Alex­<br>
+
<font color=#000099>'''Vice Ministers'''</font>, also known as VMs, have all the powers Secretaries do; however, what differentiates them from Secretaries is their ability to jail players. Therefore, their main focus is to check various game logs for suspicious activity and administer jail time to those who have been caught breaking the rules.
[Ind] Engineer<br>
+
 
Sinsonido King PLC<br>
+
===Minister===
• |D| Majorhobo<br>
+
<font color="red">'''Ministers'''</font> have all the powers Vice ministers do; however, unlike Vice Ministers, they have the ability to control and alter other players' accounts, including their own, allowing them to reverse ill-gotten stat gains and money gains. As a result, they exist outside of the game's mechanics, meaning that they cannot play the game.
• Die For Your GovernDenT<br>
+
 
[AoH] ShopaHollyk<br>
+
Ministers also have a responsibility to lead the staff team, providing guidance and advice to Secretaries and Vice Ministers. They also have the ability to promote players to Secretaries.
• The Editor<br><br>
+
 
<b><font color="#FF33CC">Artist:</font></b><br>
+
===Governor===
• Meek
+
<font color="blue">'''Governors'''</font> are the game's elite staff, meaning that they have all the powers Ministers do, and then some. They also have the ability to promote players to Secretaries and Vice Ministers. Just like Ministers, they exist outside of the game's mechanics.
 +
 
 +
All hired game developers are by default assigned the staff position of Governor, and, since they have access to the game's code, are able to do more than what a normal Governor would be able to do.
 +
 
 +
==Non-Staff Roles==
 +
In addition to staff roles, are are also a few other roles that can be assigned to players, allowing them access to certain parts of the game that they would not otherwise have access to. Players who are assigned these roles are normal players and do not have any administrative powers.
 +
 
 +
===Artist===
 +
<font color=#FF33CC>'''Artists'''</font> are players who get paid to draw pictures for the game.
 +
 
 +
===Newspaper Editor===
 +
Newspaper Editors collaborate together on a special message board to create a monthly tabloid for the players of Hobowars called [[HoboWeekly]]. The associated title of "<font color=#954221>'''Ace Reporter'''</font>" is handed out monthly to Newspaper Editors who have written or edited an article for the previous issue. The title appears on the message boards only.
 +
 
 +
===Tester===
 +
'''Testers''' are players who have the ability to test out current and unreleased game features/mechanics, troubleshoot bugs, and discuss potential problems and balance issues. Their title is ironically misspelled as "<span style='color: #999999'>'''Tetser'''</span>", and appears on the message boards only.
 +
 
 +
===Wiki Editor===
 +
<font color=#CD853F>'''Wiki Editors'''</font> are players who help contribute to the HoboWars Help Wiki. They have access to a special message board to help them communicate and collaborate with each other. The title "<span style='color: #CD853F'>'''Wiki Editor'''</span>" is handed out monthly to Wiki Editors who have contributed to the Wiki that month. The title appears on the message boards only. Present <font color=#CD853F>'''Wiki Editor'''</font> ID numbers are indicated in <span style='color: #e59400'>orange</span>.

<font color="#999999">'''Testers:'''</font><br />
 +
 
 +
Testers are not actual game staff, however due to their job they are held to a higher accountability then regular players.
 +
 
 +
In the past, testers have asked to remain anonymous; therefore, their names were withheld.  After a couple years, most players had a sense of who the testers were, either by the fact that gang boards showed them, or they declared their status on the public boards for some reason. So the testers started to be a little more open and with the introduction of the "<span style='color: #999999'>'''Tetser'''</span>" nametag, some have openly confirmed their status.

*'''Gerta''' (6801)
 +
** Long time Minister and Governor, Gerta was always the nice friendly face in the Government House. But due to crazy high Donator Pack prices off market, none on the market and a great number of active player denial to donate to the game due to Andy's neglect, she took it upon herself to create a fix. Account (78923) called "Dpacks" was it. Players sent the sum of 10 million to the account and a mail to Gerta stating so in exchange for 31 donator days to be activated on their accounts. Andy eventually caught on and Gerta was demoted and account wiped to default, minus battle record and respect (2010).

 +
** The only VM across the game to have two accounts promoted to vice minister. Ode's first account was banned due to being found using an illegal script over on HW1. This banned was then carried over to his HW2 account. Second time around he was lucky enough to have his stats reinstated by Gerta and later reappointed to the position of vice minister. He was once again a very active staff member and was always working towards having HW2 updated and maintained. Although in Andy's absence he was involved in Gerta's "DPack program" and his account was wiped to default, minus respect and battle record (2010). Promoted to Secretary (2013)

Latest revision as of 09:59, 7 April 2024

All versions of HoboWars have a dedicated group of players who are responsible for enforcing the rules of the game and maintaining a fair and safe game environment.

They are collectively known as the game's staff, with each staff member assigned one of four staff roles: Secretary, Vice Minister, Minister, or Governor.

Staff Roles

Secretary

Secretaries are responsible for moderating the message boards and Chat. They have the ability to move threads, lock threads, sticky threads, delete threads and posts, edit threads and posts, ban players from the message boards for a period of time, kick players from Chat for 15 minutes, ban players from Chat for a period of time, clear Chat, and set the Chat topic, among other things. They also have access to a few tools and logs to help them do their job.

They do not have any influence outside of the message boards and Chat, and should not be harassed. In the game, they are for all intents equal to normal players, since their job does not give them any kind of advantage in the game.

Vice Minister

Vice Ministers, also known as VMs, have all the powers Secretaries do; however, what differentiates them from Secretaries is their ability to jail players. Therefore, their main focus is to check various game logs for suspicious activity and administer jail time to those who have been caught breaking the rules.

Minister

Ministers have all the powers Vice ministers do; however, unlike Vice Ministers, they have the ability to control and alter other players' accounts, including their own, allowing them to reverse ill-gotten stat gains and money gains. As a result, they exist outside of the game's mechanics, meaning that they cannot play the game.

Ministers also have a responsibility to lead the staff team, providing guidance and advice to Secretaries and Vice Ministers. They also have the ability to promote players to Secretaries.

Governor

Governors are the game's elite staff, meaning that they have all the powers Ministers do, and then some. They also have the ability to promote players to Secretaries and Vice Ministers. Just like Ministers, they exist outside of the game's mechanics.

All hired game developers are by default assigned the staff position of Governor, and, since they have access to the game's code, are able to do more than what a normal Governor would be able to do.

Non-Staff Roles

In addition to staff roles, are are also a few other roles that can be assigned to players, allowing them access to certain parts of the game that they would not otherwise have access to. Players who are assigned these roles are normal players and do not have any administrative powers.

Artist

Artists are players who get paid to draw pictures for the game.

Newspaper Editor

Newspaper Editors collaborate together on a special message board to create a monthly tabloid for the players of Hobowars called HoboWeekly. The associated title of "Ace Reporter" is handed out monthly to Newspaper Editors who have written or edited an article for the previous issue. The title appears on the message boards only.

Tester

Testers are players who have the ability to test out current and unreleased game features/mechanics, troubleshoot bugs, and discuss potential problems and balance issues. Their title is ironically misspelled as "Tetser", and appears on the message boards only.

Wiki Editor

Wiki Editors are players who help contribute to the HoboWars Help Wiki. They have access to a special message board to help them communicate and collaborate with each other. The title "Wiki Editor" is handed out monthly to Wiki Editors who have contributed to the Wiki that month. The title appears on the message boards only. Present Wiki Editor ID numbers are indicated in orange.

Testers:

Testers are not actual game staff, however due to their job they are held to a higher accountability then regular players.

In the past, testers have asked to remain anonymous; therefore, their names were withheld. After a couple years, most players had a sense of who the testers were, either by the fact that gang boards showed them, or they declared their status on the public boards for some reason. So the testers started to be a little more open and with the introduction of the "Tetser" nametag, some have openly confirmed their status.

    • Demoted due to inactivity and account sabotage during the 8/11/11 hacking on HoboWars2 (2011).
  • Gerta (6801)
    • Long time Minister and Governor, Gerta was always the nice friendly face in the Government House. But due to crazy high Donator Pack prices off market, none on the market and a great number of active player denial to donate to the game due to Andy's neglect, she took it upon herself to create a fix. Account (78923) called "Dpacks" was it. Players sent the sum of 10 million to the account and a mail to Gerta stating so in exchange for 31 donator days to be activated on their accounts. Andy eventually caught on and Gerta was demoted and account wiped to default, minus battle record and respect (2010).

This banned was then carried over to his HW2 account. Second time around he was lucky enough to have his stats reinstated by Gerta and later reappointed to the position of vice minister. He was once again a very active staff member and was always working towards having HW2 updated and maintained. Although in Andy's absence he was involved in Gerta's "DPack program" and his account was wiped to default, minus respect and battle record (2010). Promoted to Secretary (2013)
