How do I make a request for materials?

To request materials for a segment of the game you are making, follow these steps:
$1
  • You must be a ranking member to make requests. (If you are not a Sponsor, Contributor, Creator, or Developer click to learn how to become one.)

  • Make sure you are logged in to the Utumno website.

  • From the $2, click on the Cue Sheet button.

  • Once in the , expand the vine (or Game Structure vine. It doesn't matter.)

  • Expand whichever subcategory of the $2 best describes what you will be requesting.

  • Repeat step #5 with each new subcategory until no further subcategories appear. Click for more information on selecting the appropriate subcategory.

  • Click on the "New Cue" symbol displayed next to the title of the deepest subcategory you have selected.

  • Once the "New Cue" form appears, type an appropriate title for your request. (Click for more information on appropriate Cue Titles.)

  • Next, enter the number of points you are willing to spend on this request. (Click for more information about offering points.)

  • Next, type a detailed but concise description of the material you are requesting. (Click for more information about specifying requirements.)

  • If you want a Milestone (recommended), click the checkbox labeled "Milestone" and enter the number of days. (Click for more information about Milestones.)

  • If you have any helpful links (like a forum topic discussing the request) Click the checkbox labeled "Link #1" and/or "Link #2".
    $1
  • Type a description of the link in the textbox labeled "Label".
  • Enter the web address into the textbox labeled "URL".
  • (Click for more information about attaching links to Cue requests.)
  • Repeat steps 12 through 12.b for Link #2.
  • An unlimited number of additional links may be added after Step #13 is completed. (Click for information on adding, editing, or removing your links after the Cue is created.)
  • $1
  • Review the information you have entered, then click the "Create" button. Hooray! The Cue has been created, however it still hasn't been requested yet.

  • If your new Cue isn't already being displayed, Return to the CueSheet (Step #3), then expand the "My Cues" vine to see all the Cues you are involved with.

  • Make any adjustments now while the status is still "Pending". Clicking the green words in the upper-left corner of each area will allow you to make changes to that area.

  • Now that you have everything adjusted, click on the status potion vial.

  • When the status selection screen comes up, click on the radio button next to the "Requested" potion vial.

  • If you agree to the terms, click the "Adjust" button. Hooray! You have officially requested the materials you want.
  • $1
    Now it is up to Authors who specialize in that kind of materail to come along and fulfill your request. Don't be afraid to encourage others to check out your request and see if they are interested in fulfilling it for you. Be sure to communicate with Authors so you are both aware of any hang-ups.
