Seasons Greetings!

I hope you all are having yourself a happy Holiday Season(and if not, that's okay too! Or I hope it gets better!). Now that I'm done terrorizing the rooms aboard your ships

If you are interested, here are the rules:

• Newly hired asims are not required to irrevocably drop their character. Instead, their characters are suspended for the duration of being an Asim.
• Asims have no In-Character (IC) activity related to their suspended character while working for the administration.
• Asims will have a defined period of service of six months after which they may step down, or remain until they desire to return to the game.
• Compensation in the form of Combine Points will be provided for Asims who remain active and effective throughout their service period.
• Asims are required to use Discord and must be active in staff channels, as that is how the majority of decisions are made.
• Asim duties center around helping players affected by bugs, handling support tickets, and dealing with rules violations. There may be opportunities for asims to assist in designing RP opportunities for SWC at large, along with participating in discussion on game features before they are announced or implemented.

Applications should be submitted via Darkness Message to both Arjuna and Falcon. Please answer the following questions in your application(Note that this year we've added a 3rd scenario-based section):

SWC-specific questions:

• What is your Combine handle?
• How long have you played SWC?
• What have you done IC so far (including previous characters)? What are you working on currently, and what is your position with your faction?
• Why do you want to become an Asim and what would you contribute?
• Are you involved in any other online games or RPGs of a similar nature? If so please describe your position and responsibilities
• Please provide three references of SWC members who are not on the administration team that have been in the game for at least two years.
• If someone wrote a biography about your character what would the Title be? What is the best chapter?

Real-life questions:

• Where do you live?
• How old are you?
• What is your occupation?
• If you were an animal, what would you be(this is incredibly important)?
• How much time are you potentially available to volunteer per week on improving SWC?
• Have you performed administrative duties in the past or organized groups/events?
• What is your favorite fish fact?

Scenario Questions:

• Imagine for a moment you are on the team. A player accuses another of harassment but provides little evidence. How do you investigate and resolve this?
• A SWC Teams member suggests a game mechanic change that could be seen as biased toward their faction. How do you handle it?
• You discover a team member is using their position to gain an unfair advantage in the game. What do you do?
• How would you approach working with other Asims to resolve disagreements on game design or rules enforcement?
• How do you handle situations where players are being hostile or overly demanding?
