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.

Hi, pardon the delay on these questions. I've had some personal events delay these for you and all other applicants. I will ask you three questions, the first I will ask to all applicants and the latter two will be tailored to your application specifically. Consider these questions as being from both myself and my deputy. 1. On balance, how do you see the Human Lore of the server being different with you than without you; what is something that only you bring to the table as a deputy? 2. We are happy to see that you enjoyed our past arcs. What about the arcs specifically did you find enjoyable and how would you try and replicate what you liked most in how you wrote an arc in the future? Note: This is not asking you for ideas for a future arc, but rather, how you would try to achieve the things you enjoyed in past arcs with your writing and storytelling techniques. 3. You've mentioned in your application that you believe that there are some areas, namely planets, that human lore needs some more attention. Please give me some examples of the places that need more attention in your view, and how you would like to proceed to making these additions. Please provide a minimum of two and a maximum of four areas you believe need improvement. Note: There was a new rule implemented after Xanu Prime's update that limits planet pages to a hard capacity of 15,000 words, so brevity is more important than ever.

Hi, pardon the delay on these questions. I've had some personal events delay these for you and all other applicants. I will ask you four questions, the first I will ask to all applicants and the latter three will be tailored to your application specifically. Consider these questions as being from both myself and my deputy. 1. On balance, how do you see the Human Lore of the server being different with you than without you; what is something that only you bring to the table as a deputy? 2. Your focus on your application for "antagonist" lore is interesting, but also something that we in the team have had worries about in the past. How do you feel that antag lore should be implemented while striking the balance between not making it for antagonist characters exclusively while also avoiding some of the pitfalls that antagonist-heavy lore enables such as people purposely playing "victim" characters or on-ship characters that are, for lack of a better word, "evil?" 3. A lot of what your application focuses on is pertinent to on-ship developments and interactions rather than actions or developments that are off-ship "in the world." How do you intend making human lore that already exists or that the team may write in the future more present on the station during normal gameplay rounds, that being secret and extended. Do not consider running on-station events when answering this question. 4. You are an admin, and naturally this position comes with a substantial amount of influence and information in server affairs. It has not played any part in our considerations about you for the position, however there are some in the community who want to see "new blood" in the staff team, as in someone being hired to staff who is not already in a staff position. Do you have anything to say which may address this concern, should you get the position?

On balance, how do you see the Human Lore of the server being different with you than without you; what is something that only you bring to the table as a deputy? 2. Something that has brought the Human Lore Team some concern throughout this application is your past body of work, and while you have acknowledged your prior immaturity in this area of things, we wanted to understand how your process in writing now differs from how it way back then. While we have a very broad swath of lore, factions, arcs, and locations, in human lore, we cannot focus on everything and keeping things tonally consistent between our 40+ planets can sometimes be challenging. What do you see as the tone/mood of our setting, what are your biggest priorities from a writing standpoint, and how would you implement them into human lore? 3. You mention wanting to focus elsewhere rather than Sol and Eridani. This is not an uncommon sentiment among the player base, as while we have a solid collection of people who love Sol and find it interesting, a general trend of opinion within the community is that we should move away from Sol-focused content for a while. The Coalition is a place that you mention as something that you want to see expanded upon, and as of this writing it is one of the lore team's primary areas of focus. Rather than how you may see the Coalition interacting with itself, we wanted to ask how you think the Horizon could interact with and be impactful within the Coalition's future developments?

A lot of your application is somewhat Sol-heavy. While we do not solely judge applicants on their ideas for what they might write as a deputy, we also take into account their ability to work with a team and implement ideas, we are curious to know about what plans or ideas you might have for future developments or additions that do not involve Sol whatsoever? 3. A large part of being a human lore deputy is being able to write and write not an insubstantial amount. While you will not be swamped with work a lot starting out, we have some concerns about your lack of experience and little-to-no body of prior work. As a deputy, you must not just be a resource on human lore, but a participant in the creation of it. What strengths do you think you might bring to the human lore team that may make up for this lack of experience in the creative writing process or may strengthen your writing? 4.
