I say ttttthhhhhppppppptttttt to all of you who think builders must have good gramer and spelling. I am the one of MANY decent builders that can't spell alot of times and with gramer that is HORRIFINGLY innocrect. Yes building is an art as stated above, yes it needs to be encouraged, yes it's a great idea to talk to the builders and ask them how thier day is and blah blah blah. Here's the fact of the whole thing, many people come into building thinking "I can do this, because it doesn't seem that hard at all." than when they actually learn what they have to do they pretend to care and than just flop out. Others actually loose intrest waiting for a mud to open or players to arrive. Some won't even log on if the Owners kind of disapear, there are so many variables and reasons for people who get hired as builders stop building. Some have a termatic life expierence, some get arrested, I know of one guy who was and still is on the run from the police and that's why he stoped building. Good builders are hard to come by, good coders are even harder, so when you get one I tell you now treat them as if they were gold. Don't go around saying builders are a dime a dozen for the fact that even if they are the chance of you finding one like him are rare. Lose of builders is alway brought so narrowly upon the mu* and has to the the mu*'s fault. Like i said before the variables are endless to the reason why they quit, so talk to them, get to know them, care a bit, have fun and most importantly treat them with respect us builders love that. :-)
