# Helpers

### Types of Helpers

**Welcomers** - The first names you see when you join the server! These are the ones who say hello and make sure you are directed to the right place after you check out [the rules](https://macguffins.org/books/1-essential-information/page/the-rules "The Rules").

**Sheet Checkers** - The next people on your way to being a member of the server. Sheet Checkers are responsible for reviewing your character sheet when you first join to make sure you have everything in order.

**Shops** - The ones you'll be dealing with when performing transactions in [the shops](https://macguffins.org/books/2-getting-into-it/page/shops "Shops"). They make sure you have the cost of items appropriate and help keep track.

**Arena Master** - Your life is in their hands in [the arena](https://macguffins.org/books/2-what-to-do/page/the-colosseum-%28pve%29 "The Colosseum (PvE)"), as they run all the monsters and baddies who you have to beat.

**Downtime** - As you create your biweekly [downtime proposal](https://macguffins.org/books/2-what-to-do/page/downtime-basics "Downtime Basics"), these helpers will make sure it's in order and give you the 👌once you're all set to make rolls.

**Events** - Behind the scenes, these helpers invent, discuss, and manage operation of server-wide events and activities!

**Statistics** - Even more behind the scenes, the statistics team tracks our users and makes sure progression is running smoothly.

**RP** - The ones who help stimulate the RP channels and manage the RP voting system.

**Lore** - They are the the keepers and managers of all lore related information on the server.
