Hello everyone! Once again the time has come for us in the Human Lore Team to fill a vacancy in our ranks. We are quite excited to open up applications for a Deputy Writer position here and are excited to see what thoughts and ideas our candidates might apply with and how the greater Aurora community might perceive them. I have headed the human lore team for over five years at this point and I am very excited to help usher in this next chapter of what human lore on Aurorastation might look like. My deputy @NewOriginalSchwann and I both will be watching these applications with great interest and will offer feedback to the candidates after the community has been given some time to interact with their submissions. Before I show the questions that the application consists of, it would be prudent of me to express some of the Expectations and Standards that apply to a person in a human lore deputy writer position. They have been included in a spoilerised dropdown below. To our potential applicants, please be sure to thoroughly read and digest these before you apply. Rules for Commenters: Anyone can comment on the application, however those offering comments to the applicants must maintain good conduct and follow the server & forum’s rules. The same goes for applicants responding to those offering feedback on their applications. Brigading is strictly prohibited. Mass -1’s without any sort of substance or feedback of an applicant’s applications will not be tolerated and will result in moderation actions being taken. Applicants are free to comment on the applications of their fellow candidates and leave constructive feedback, however comments that are seen as unprofessional or comments that disparage one candidate in favour of the commenter’s own ideas or application are prohibited. Those candidates that comment in this manner will have their applications swiftly rejected. Format: Candidates must make their respective applications as new topic forum posts under the applications boards sections and clearly title them in a way that it would communicate to a reasonable Aurora forum browser that they are indeed applying for the Human Lore Deputy position. Along with this, applicants should clearly provide their BYOND Ckeys and how long they have been a member of the Aurorastation community at the top of their applications. Please also tag your post with the tags of "lore writer," and "human." When answering the questions asked in the application, please copy and paste the questions onto your application and then provide your answers to each question respectively. Application Questions: The application questions can be found below in a spoilerised drop-down. Time Parameters: These applications will be open for three weeks (2025/10/28 - 2025/11/18) so as to allow our prospective candidates enough time to get their ideas out there. While an applicant is free to post whenever they please within that time window, we encourage those interested in the position to apply early so that there can be more community participation and engagement on their posts. We want to inspire discussion and conversation with these applications and look forward to reading the interactions between the community and the applicants themselves.

Hi! Thank you for applying. After looking this over, we have decided to accept your application. It will be on the wiki shortly after some edits have been made on our end.

Hi. Sorry for the substantial delay in getting to this. After reading it over we have decided to move in a different direction with the political lore of Sol and will not be accepting this application. Thank you for applying, however. Best, Lain

Sorry on the substantial delay on this. Your additions have been accepted and will be posted to the wiki pending edits.

Hello and thank you for your application. Upon further review and consultation with the IPC team and the Lore Team Management for the IPC and phoron-related parts of this post, we must decline the addition of these proposed changes and deny this application. They are not concurrent with how the IPC team wishes their species to be written with new synthetic vaults added to planets elsewhere than Konyang. Also, we the Human team disagree with their additions as part of Dominia's history. However, this was really interesting for us to read and we enjoyed the concept. It's made us think about adding something to the Dominian lore which gives them a broader explanation for the anti-IPC part of their faction beyond a religious doctrine that appears unjustified from an OOCly position. We want to add some explanation for that in the future and we wouldn't have thought of that unless it were not for this application. As such, when we add that content, whenever that might be and whatever form it takes, we will be crediting the both of you as writers in the announcement we make on the Discords and in the wiki's changelog. Thank you again for submitting your application.

Hello and thank you for your application. We are reviewing it currently and will have an answer for you shortly.

Hello and thank you for your application. Upon further review by the Human Lore Team, we have decided to accept your application. It will be edited as the team sees fit and also added alongside some of our own additions that we have been wanting to make to Callisto for a little while now. Thank you again for making this application; it will be added to the wiki shortly.

Hello. Upon serious deliberation within the human lore team and between the human lore team and LTM, we have decided to offer you the position of Human Lore Deputy Writer. Congratulations!

Hello. Thank you very much for applying, I'm happy to see that we have passionate people in the community who want to contribute to the human lore of the server. Unfortunately, we've decided to proceed with another candidate. I hope that this does not discourage you from continuing to be an active member of the community who cares about human lore.

Hi. For transparency's sake I would like to comment that I was the mod in question that Mel consulted with about the above-mentioned meme. I found no issue with it in regard to Rule No. 5 at the time she asked me about it, and I still find no issue with it at the present.
