==Making a World Builder Call==
[[File:World_Builder_Call.jpg|right|500px|caption]]
 
1) Make a World Builder call from Self -> Utility -> Call a Game Master... -> World Builder Call <br>
 
2) Ask for a specific World Builder if you have a preference. <br>
 
3) List all player names that have camp deco from a prepay that are eligible.  Remember that a group of five gets an extra perk or two (see below). <br>
 
  
Basic Things Allowed:
+
1) Meander on over to the Perkstore at https://www.desert-nomad.com/Product/Category/3 to purchase Homestead Decoration! <br>
 +
2) Make a World Builder request Self/Special/Call a World Builder and state that you purchased X number of minutes of Camp Decoration. <br>
 +
3) Developer Ariella will then assign a World Builder to do your Homestead landscaping.  Each World Builder below has been part of the team making the Homesteads in the game. Please do not request a specific World Builder. <br>
 +
4) Take a screen shot of your camp (the prt scr button on keyboard), print it and draw in where you would like items and nice spots. Then put a wishlist in order of importance on there. <br>
 +
5) Chat your world builder in Discord and post your pic to them.  Just remember that they have to decide what can and cannot be done within the time purchased. <br>
 +
6) If you want the World Builder to decorate at their discretion and not do 3) - 4) just let them know.<br>
 +
7) The World Builder will put up two chats.  One will be used For Start and Stop.  The other will be used for general discussion about your camp deco.  Malard put code that will start a timer that both WB and the player can see, but there can be extenuating circumstances that need a Pause in decorating.  For now there is no Pause button on his timer, hence the need for the Start & Stop chat. <br>
 +
8) The World Builder that starts the camp decoration is the one that will finish it. <br>
  
Decorative plants of your choice can be placed where you want, but some may have to be removed to compensate. <br>
