Characters
Mixmote is a crafting game you play in the browser. This page is part of the reading room, the game's handbook in plain text.
Mixmote's story is told by the guild that runs the table. The guild and its staff are characters in the game, not people you can contact.
The guild
You work at the table as a member of the Mixmote Guild: a proud, understaffed bureaucracy that loves its rules. Its notices say "we". They are rude in a British way, and the target is always the guild, the situation or Kevin, never the player.
The Department of Records
The part of the guild that keeps the register and a folder on every member. It does not take corrections.
Helga
The guild librarian. In charge of member records, and the only person who knows how to update them. Everyone is afraid of her. Early on she pays new members a little hush money to forget something they saw.
Kevin
Guild staff. Turns up in your messages early on to say hello, at length. Steals lunches. Lost the stamp. Claps slowly in meetings. Nobody likes it when Kevin cheers.
HR
Does not care about Kevin. This is the root of Helga's fury.
The Guild AGI
The guild built an artificial general intelligence, gave it control of everything, and admits this was a mistake (though it did let them uninstall Teams). It sums up guild notices in three blunt bullets, and it watches the table and comments on what you do: it has not been allowed to touch the table since the incident. It is bored, flat and unimpressed, and if you try something pointless twice, it says so.
