An Open Application to the Planeshift GM Team

[Rinenud]

I'd just like to add a clarification, that when I earlier mentioned a "2 for 1 deal", in no way was I implying that I would work for 50% of the normal wages. Just to be clear.

Note Ebonwumon the process, as spelled out in the GM Team is Recruiting thread is.


The Process

The starting point of an application to be a GM is simply contact one of our current GMs. The best methods are by private message (PM) on these forums, on IRC or in game. That GM will give you further details on the application and answer your questions regarding it to the best of their ability. They will also request you to send them a PM giving a short written summary of:

1. Basic information including your real name, country and time zone, age
2. Previous GM experience (if any), also meaning moderation of forums or any kind of game
3. Time playing Planeshift (when you started, how much you play during the week)
4. Why you want to be a GM (this is very important)
5. Proficiency in English
6. Roleplay experience (tabletop, fantasy novels read, other MMOs/RPGs played)
7. Any additional qualifications you think may be relevant (experience with computers, social jobs, etc)

The next step (if you are deemed suitable) is a 'hot-seat' interview, this will comprise 3 or more current GMs interviewing you on IRC to decide if you are to be allowed through to the final step.


Note how it says above to send your resume via a PM not posting a thread on the forum. If you can't seem to follow this simple process then doesn't bode well for you to be able to follow the rules of the GM team.

You had already started this thread before you ever talked to me.  but yes I did properly post your application in the GM forum and the GM team commented on your application

And if anyone is interested in applying for the Dev team see http://www.planeshift.it/recruitment.html for the proper process
 

[Ebonwumon]

you just said I followed the process. I submitted it to you. I was unaware that the GM's would search the internet to verify that I didn't post information about myself anywhere on it. I'm free to post a google doc, I don't see how that would invalidate an existing application, if so, that should be posted in your precious (and apparently "very clear" ) thread.

Come on...we all know you already were accepted as GM and this is just the usual dramatisation to keep the identiy of the latest GM hidden. Why would the GM team reject the probably best application they ever got?

They're trying to keep plausible deniability for his inevitable server takeover.

50% of the normal wages is still 0.

From the looks of this thread it would seem to be "let me make a half-hearted attempt to join the GM team so I can lambaste them when things do not immediately go my way."

Patience Grasshopper, you must first grasp this pebble from my hand and pass across the rice paper without disturbing it before you can be on your way to the new world.

[Ebonwumon]

Do grasshoppers eat paper since paper is technically made out of plants?

[bilbous]

Ask Kwai Chang Caine, or his instructor Master Po

I suspect real grasshoppers might if they were hungry enough. Metaphorical ones, not so much.

Rinenud just sent me a PM with pretty heavy insults. I originally posted here the message, but then I though it was too bad to read from young people, and removed it.

I'm sorry for him, because he seems to have some pretty serious problem. In any case he is banned from forums and game. Beware of him approaching any of you.
