== Game Master ==

A "Game Master" is a person who is placed in charge of monitoring the actions of players in a roleplaying game.

In NexusTK, the GM is responsible for everything which happens inside the game. They design and implement new features, as well as perform administrative duties such as addressing player complaints and enforcing the user code of conduct.

A Game Master is not to be confused with an [[Archon]], which is NOT an employee of [[KRU Interactive]].

Archon

NSmithTk:

An [[Archon]] is a player who has been entrusted with a character that possess some GM-level abilities such as [[Set Reactor]], [[Teleport]], [[Broadcast]] and Jailing abilities. They are easily identified by the [[Archon orange]] dye they wear, along with the [[Archon helm]] item.

Each [[Archon]] is usually assigned a specific duty, such as monitoring [[Clan]]s, [[Revel]]s, [[Carnage]]s or [[Subpath]]s but all Archons perform judicial duties and help test out new features before they are publically released to the rest of players.

Archons are led by the Archon [[Primogen]], which is a position usually (but not always) held by the most experienced and qualified Archon. The Archon [[Primogen]] exists to ensure that other Archons perform their jobs properly.

Archons are often called "Assistant Game Masters" in other games, but recently many larger game publishers have been shifting away from using "volunteer workers" to handle these administrative tasks due to complaints from customers who accuse many players of mis-using their positions to harrass other players. However, NexusTK still uses volunteer players to perform their Assistant GM duties.

Historically, Archons were selected from among the [[Angel]] ranks, but since [[Angel]]s were removed from the game, they are selected from the general populace by the Archon Primogen. Before they are given all of the powers and duties of an Archon, an Archon candidate is given a [[Pawn]] character and assigned menial tasks.
