Sindome has two types of memberships: "Associate Member" and "Club Member". As an Associate Member, you are entitled to play a single character in the game. A donation to Withmore Hope Inc. is not required to play. Please remember to follow the Rules of Conduct (@rules).
If you decide to support the game by making a donation to Withmore Hope Inc, your donation will go towards supporting accessible text-based gaming, including but not limited to Sindome. Making a donation will grant you 'Club Member' status on Sindome and entitle you to a membership pad for the length of your membership.
MEMBERSHIP PAD
If you choose to make a donation, we will thank you by entitling your character to free usage of an in-game pad for the agreed length based on your donation at the time it is made. The size and location of the pad will be determined by the donation.
This apartment will be located in the sector of the city that the admin deems appropriate for your character. Corpies live topside, Mixers in the mix. Remember, having a job topside does not always make you a corpie. Service-level jobs are done by Mixers. In the end, it is the admin who decides where your apartment will be based on what they feel is appropriate to the theme. Your apartment can be moved if your IC situation changes.
If you are a leaseholder on Gold or Green, you are eligible to use your membership pad at Krakeon Apartments OR an apartment on Red Sector. You are not eligible for other Gold/Green sector pads, regardless of the size of your membership.
MEMBERSHIP PAD INITIAL ASSIGNMENT
To claim your donation pad, you need to take a couple of steps so that we can set you up with your pad. If renting a new apartment to put your membership on, please ensure that the pad you pick is MEDIUM (Which you can find out using the check command on the door).
1. You must either have an existing rented apartment or pick and rent a new apartment befitting your character (Mixer -> Red, Corpie -> Green) 2. You must put in an @service-request with the apartment name and number. 3. In your service request, you MUST state that you have moved out of your old apartment if appropriate.
MEMBERSHIP PAD REASSIGNMENT
Sometimes, it may be necessary for you to change the location of your donation pad. This could be because of the loss (or gain) of a job topside or because your character needs to change for IC reasons. We will do our best to accommodate these requests but reserve the right to tell you no if you request too many reassignments.
MEDIUM REASSIGNMENT PREREQUISITES
1. You must either have an existing rented apartment or pick and rent a new apartment befitting your character (Mixer -> Red, Corpie -> Green) 2. You must clear your stuff and yourself out of the old apartment. 3. You must put in an @service-request with the old apartment and the new one that the pad should be transferred to. 4. In your service request, you MUST state that you have moved out of your old apartment. Note: When a membership is removed from an apartment and transferred to a new one, the old apartment will be reset so make sure you have cleared all your stuff.
LARGE REASSIGNMENT PREREQUISITES
1. You must find a new, vacant apartment befitting your character (Mixer -> Red, Corpie -> Green) 2. Put in a service request asking that your membership be moved, including the apartment you want to move to 3. Staff will assist you in renting the new apartment for one week and close your request 4. You must clear your stuff and yourself out of the old apartment 5. You must put in another @service-request with the old apartment and the new one that the pad should be transferred to 6. In your service request, you MUST state that you have moved out of your old apartment
An admin will process the request, your membership pad will be transferred to the new pad, and the old pad will be reset and available for rental by another player immediately.
MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
To review our new Membership Agreement, you can use the @member or @membership command in-game.

PERMA PADS
Previously donated for perma-pads will be honored. We will not accept new perma-pad donations.
If you break into a perma-pad, you can treat it like any pad in the game and do with it what you will; however, if the character the pad is for dies, that pad will be cleared out after a few days and returned to the rotation. You cannot simply live in the perma-pad of a dead character for this reason.
CAN I MAKE A DONATION ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE?
No, you cannot. Donations are made through Withmore Hope Inc. and are attributed to the person who made them.
APARTMENT TRANSFERS
For information on transferring a lease from one apartment to another, please see 'help apartment.'
MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL AND EXTENDING RENT TIME
When you renew a membership that's already active on an apartment door: The additional time should automatically be added to your door access. You can verify this by using the 'check' command on your door to see the updated expiration time which you can find using the @membership command. If the time extension doesn't apply automatically after renewal, submit a service request for assistance. Note: This only applies when extending an existing membership on the same apartment. New memberships or switching apartments should go through the above processes.
