Greetings!

TempusMUD has begun a search for a new Coder/Head Coder.

Hiring from outside the MUD is fairly new to us, but so far it has worked out wonderfully, so we decided to give it another go.

In operation since April 1995, Tempus was originally spawned from a CircleMUD 3.0 beta base code. The MUD still retains much of its Circle look, but the gameplay and feel of the MUD is decidedly original. Code is C++ with roots in C.

Tempus is an alternative reality in which the distinction between radically different times are being blurred by the activities of powerful time-travelers. High magic and futuristic technology collide with past and future time periods, outer and elemental planes, and a uniquely rich environment.

We are looking for a coder with good experience in C/C++, who has his or her own Linux box to code on. Experience with Subversion would be nice but not necessary, and it is a huge plus if you know how to use a memory debugger like valgrind.

One of the most treasured aspects of volunteering your time for a MUD is sharing the experience. We work and play hard to make Tempus the best game and environment possible. It is an endless challenge that we enjoy, and you are invited to check us out and decide if you would like to be part of the team.

Advertised Game Description:

Imagine that you exist in a world where time has begun to collide, where the past meets the future, and neither will ever be the same again. Tempus is a fantasy role-playing game set in a world where ancient magic confronts advanced technology. Upon entering Tempus, you become an adventurer in an imaginative and mysterious universe, where you have the opportunity to carve out a unique niche for yourself in an evolving world.

The distinction between different time frames has been blurred by the activities of the most powerful beings in existence. The high mages of the past have built their secret empire by planting political seeds of influence. These seeds have begun to sprout as they delve deeper into the realm of the arcane, finding a new lore in the art of time shifting.

The disciples of the greater gods and goddess, after a lifetime of attaining a closer relation with divinity, are shown a new realm of infinite proportions, the continuum of time.

Far into the future, the scientists and technologists that rule the civilized world relentlessly pursue the fleeting prize known as energy. They uncover the secret of time, allowing them to build great machines to send them back to the past.

As the time frames collide, these figures inevitably meet and begin to engineer the nature of reality to their own ends. Populations all across the timeline begin to notice subtle changes as strange visitors bearing unknown powers begin to emerge. As the flow of time begins to swirl together, you enter Tempus.

The players and Immortals of TempusMUD invite you to alter their world.
