Hello! After a few weeks of consideration, I've decided to accept this application. I'm going to be honest with some constructive criticism that your application essay is fairly weak, and that I wish it showed the consideration and clarity that your posts throughout the application thread have shown! However, you also applied very shortly after applications opened, and fortunately your vision and creative ideas came through very well in your posts. Cael, the former skrell dev and my current deputy, spoke very highly of you and there is great appreciation regarding your involvement and contributions to skrell lore as a player. I look forward to working with you. Welcome aboard!

I think I'm all right with Biesel retaining its current national name. Though it has metamorphized from a solar-state to an interstellar republic, it is ultimately centered around Biesel. I am really flattered by what Carver had to input though, and it's a fresh perspective I don't think I've ever really considered. I've always felt and concerned myself that Biesel and the republic were underdeveloped as cultural locations outside of Mendell City, but recently the team as a whole did a great job expanding it imo. There are a lot of issues that could warrant some thought though, such as how all the new additions are represented in Biesel politics. Has the government grown dramatically in representatives? Or have local representatives been shaved away to make way for all the new disparate additions? It could be interesting to explore as a gradual IC development, though I wonder how much stomach the playerbase might have for... y'know... political lore.

Generally speaking, I want to avoid major retcons. Especially in a sense where they may affect large amounts of the player base. At least I want to avoid them unless it's necessary. I'm fairly ambivalent about cloning. One of my oldie characters (now retired from play) was cloned a few times and it was a fairly novel and fun experience to roleplay out the scenario of questioning if he was still himself or an imposter, and helped me wrangle with my own sense of imposter syndrome. I thought that was powerful and dynamic interplay between lore and roleplay. But at the same time, it really does cheapen death and the experience of it, and leaves every single major death to have to answer the fundamental "why weren't they cloned?" question. It is fairly stressful to have to write around that hurdle 100% of the time for the sake of more compelling writing, and obviously majority (speculatively, on my part, maybe not as much as I feel like) of the time the consideration is eschewed entirely to pretend that cloning wasn't even an option or doesn't exist. If a very large vocal population demanded its complete removal doggedly over a decent amount of time, I'd probably give in eventually. Though for now, I think I want to maintain status quo.

I'm not the best at diona lore, and have some catching up to do before I can really say on this application. You seem to have a good and chipper attitude and a genuine interest! But the application itself is fairly barebones on Endless. Theres a lot about the Tyranical Tune type and cold wilderness, but not a lot about who the character really is. I don't really feel a sense of who the character is, so much as how they transfer nymph power and drink blood. I'm also a bit puzzled by the sentence about human-like life, and wouldn't mind clarification, or also, possibly, how they were made on Adhomai and how that factors into their life.

With Cael's resignation to focus on Loremaster Deputy-ship, skrell dev apps are now open! In addition to the standard application format, please include a brief essay on your thoughts about the current state of Skrell lore, and what your plans for it would be. Show that you can be the hippity hoppist frog in the pond, and Grand Councilor of Skrell lore 🐸 Happy applying!

Kyres is a rad dude with a bad attitude 😎 I love them, I love their writing, I love their organizational skills and their memes. I think Kyres kicks ass and is one of the single greatest and most influential writers in our server's history.

Just played a round with Sofia, A CMO, and I thought Pedantic's roleplay was interesting and fun. I was playing as the captain, and from what I could gather they seemed to be running medical well, roleplaying neatly with patients, and even had to work out an embarrassing situation where they were sprayed with mindbreaker. They were able to pull it off both humorously and gracefully, demonstrating a strong maturity in roleplay and range in ability. Definitely a +1 from me.

Much I've said on your competitors app, this was an extremely tough decision and a very close race. You were a fantastic applicant, however another was chosen. Please feel not only free but encouraged to apply to any openings in the future. Thank you!

It was an EXTREMELY close race, as all applicants were exceptionally fit for the role. However, I have chosen one of your competitors. If another position opens up, I encourage you to apply, as this was the toughest staffing decision I've had to make as loremaster so far. Thank you!

It was a very drawn out process with a lot of discussion. No stone was left unturned and every bit counted as we deliberated on the choice for Synth dev. I know have the honor of telling you that I have chosen you. Welcome to the team!

The following is a copy paste on your competitors applications as well. I have the good fortune of having my pick of three very strong candidates, and the length of this application process is a reflection of my indecision between three people I'm keen to have on the team. A good problem to have! To try and break the deadlock a bit and gain some more insights, I have decided to ask you and your competitors these questions. What, in your opinion, separates you from the other two applying for this position? Why do you believe you would be the best candidate, and can you give examples on why your opinions for the direction of synthetic lore would be better for the server than your competitors?

Beep boop. Synthetic lore developer applications are open! In addition to the standard application, please provide some thoughts of your own on the current state of Synthetic/IPC lore, where you would like to take it, and what you would change about it if you had the option. Please include an evaluation of what you currently like about it, as well as what you don't like. Applicants must also pass a Voight-Kampf empathy test. Best of luck to all who apply!

Given that there's no other applicants, and honestly, that I felt you were the best choice before I had even opened apps, this is a fairly straightforward choice. Congratulations on the promotion!

Hello! Vaurca lore developer applications are now open! In addition to the standard application format, please include some novel writing on your thoughts on the current state of Vaurca lore, what you like and don't like about it, and what you would plan to do with our loveably bug boyos.
