As mentioned above, we are currently looking for an additional 2-3 moderators to be brought on by mid-May until the game's projected endgame in March 2015. Below we have outlined the duties which you would be expected to share in, should you be accepted. All told, we ask that those who are interested in applying be willing to put forward approximately 5-10 hours per week toward the game, between all duties listed below.
Having a plurk is not a requirement for these positions. We ask that you provide at least one form of contact that you check daily (or as near a thing as possible) so that queries or tasks do not go unaddressed for undue lengths of time. Previous experience is also not required, but is certainly an asset.
• Communication Clear communication skills are a MUST for anyone that is involved in these roles. You must be comfortable and willing to discuss all topics related to your role (plots, events, etc) and should there be any unexpected topic that raises personal discomfort, you will be expected to at least communicate that you are not comfortable and therefore unable to assist in that particular instant before referring the inquiry to another mod. Communication is a key foundation for any administrative team to be successful. You must be willing to field queries from members and potential applicants in a respectful manner. While an answer may seem obvious to you, others may not have made the same connection and should never be made to feel bad for that. In this vein, you must also be ready to re-direct queries or do additional research/confer with Li to ensure that answers are accurate and consistent with set precedence in the game (such as NPC behaviors, metaplot information, etc).
• Application Review These duties will involve judging apps regardless of canon familiarity (app mods will be expected to have time available to do some form of canon review in the event of unfamiliar canons) and writing up the accept/revisions/reject notices using existing templates. This is a position that will take roughly 2-5 hours a week, per person, with the majority of the time falling between Wednesday and Friday due to our current application cycle.
• Events & Missions Moderators would be expected to take on some responsibility of doing event and mission write ups and, as applicable, coordinating sign-ups and RNG results. It will require a fairly solid comprehension of the world of Tu Shanshu, and an ability to work with and adapt to that world. Creativity and the ability and desire to offer input on current and future metaplot directions is a plus. The amount of events run vary from month to month, but this position could expect to have between four and seven days' worth of work in any given month. If chosen for this position, it's expected that any PC characters you play will have minimal roles in future events.
• Core Post Upkeep Mods should be comfortable editing HTML code as it pertains to upkeep of posts like Reserves, Taken, and our app response templates, etc. (You don't have to be a code wizard but please know how to bold things and make working links.)
We ask that all mod applications be sent to the tushanshu [at] gmail [dot] com email address before 9:00PM PST on May 14th, 2014.
