Hosting

The hosts of Duel Monsters Unlimited are an intregral part of our game, and BYOND as a whole. Anyone can host Duel Monsters Unlimited, given they follow the instructions and rules outlined in this page.

Hosting Rules and Guidelines
Hosts are responsible for the sporting conduct of themselves and the people they appoint as GMs to moderate their server in their absence. A good host should be aware of GMs that might be acting irresponsibly and should take action, either by removal or just a friendly warning. Regular poor hosting conduct can result in removal of hosting rights. Poor hosts reflect badly on the game, and this is something that shouldn't happen.

Hosts must not do the following, under any circumstances

 * Use their power as host to harass a player, due to race, religion or sexuality
 * Use the Mute, Boot and Ban Commands without valid cause
 * Use the announcement command or the chatbox to post links or direct images to pornography and/or other adult material
 * Use the ability to appoint GMs as a bartering point or otherwise abuse that ability
 * Use their power to harass game staff

Hosting Guide
Below is a beginner's guide on how to host Duel Monsters Unlimited. The instructions, in general, can be extrapolated to most other BYOND games.

In Order to Host you'll need 3 things:

 * An Internet Connection, preferably Broadband
 * Dream Daemon (Downloaded as a part of the BYOND client)
 * A copy of the latest Duel Monsters Unlimited world file on your computer in an easy to locate place. If you do not have the latest version, it is listed in the forums and/or on the HUB.
