Mod Applications

MODERATOR APPLICATIONS

Yep, here they are, guys! As we announced last week, we're starting mod applications. Yesterday was a tad wonky, so they were pushed back a day, and for that we're sorry.


Before you apply, please remember a few things:

1) Route 29 is a large game. Although you won't be spending every waking moment working on some aspect of it, there will be many days when you'll have to invest lots of time tweaking some part or trying to find a proper plot, or even just answering numerous questions.

2) You'll deal with people you like, people you dislike, and some people you've never met before. You may go in not being much of a people-person, but you'll have to be alright with talking with all sorts of people in order to do it.

3) You're going to be put in situations where you'll have to solve disputes, whether it be player vs player or player vs mod. You'll have to be capable of dealing with problems with a level head, even if there are moments of heightened emotions.

4) Teamwork is necessary. You don't have to be best friends with the other mods, but you have to be able to communicate with everyone.

5) We're looking for current or past players of the game to be our new moderators. We'd like for someone who has seen the game in action first-hand and has experience as a player because we feel that the players have a bit more insight on the way the game works than just from an outside perspective.

6) Remember that taking on the position of modship will come near defining you around livejournal and on the internet overall. Things said on plurk, in personal journals, or sometimes in conversations with others can reflect upon you and the game. This isn't to say you're not allowed to vent or be frustrated, but you'll have to take into account how it will make you appear to others.

Now, with those main points in mind...

Applications will be open from today, Friday, August 19 to Friday, September 2.
( Have at it, folks! )

For those who applied, whether you're chosen or not, all of us would like to thank you for taking the time to fill this out and step up to the challenge. We really appreciate the fact that you're willing to help out and were honest with us. The points brought up in your responses will also go towards the overall goal of making Route an ideal game to play in.

Thank you. And good luck!
