Hello! After over a week of deliberation I have decided that I will not be denying this application.

Nah fam, let the good times roll ?

Near the beginning of July, I passed my anniversary for becoming loremaster! I wanna shower some praise on the lore team. I'm absolutely blessed and lucky to have our great team and I think they're doing amazing work. This community has been great to me and has made me so many friends, it's honestly been so heartwarming. The memes have been dank, the roleplay has been great, and we've come such a long way over the course of the years since I stumbled into this server, one of countless many greytiders. Cherished and dear friends have come and gone but this vibrant community is always full of more. Thank you all for the great times we've shared, and let's share many more as we keep on creating stories together

Please choose the form most relevant to the position you are interested in, and fill it out completely. Responses may take some time. An account on Discord is mandatory for a position. The rules and regulations which govern members of lore team can be found here. These rules and regulations should be read before applying as they outline the team hierarchy, code of conduct, and various tutorials on how to perform the various jobs on lore team. Failure to read the rules will not excuse lore team members from punishment if they violate them. Format: Make sure to apply the relevant species tag when creating the post. Clarification of roles: Lore Writer is responsible for playable species, which are as of posting Humans, Skrell, Unathi, Tajara, Dionaea, Vaurca, and IPC. This position has you manage species whitelists for and in general monitor the behavior and playstyle of the race in question. You also are responsible for wiki development for that species as well as semi-regular IC news posts. It comes with Web Interface whitelist access, wiki access, and access to our staff discord. This is a middle-management position if you have a deputy lore developer under you, so any form of management experience or ability to work in a team is great. Deputy Lore Writers are assigned as deputies to the lore writer for a specific species. A deputy lore developer does not have access to Web Interface whitelist controls, but they will have access to the wiki editing controls as well as access to our staff discord. You answer to the lore writer above you, who in turn answers to the lore masters. Wiki Maintainers handle updating the wiki. This includes adding new information, correcting outdated pages, and remove unnecessary ones. The team is to work closely with other staff teams, especially the dev team and lore team, but they are also supposed to work with the community. Wiki Maintainers have access to the staff chat and wiki.

Greetings, humans. Take me to your leader... wait, you don't have a leader? Apply to become supreme leader! The lore developer application format has changed so be sure to read the format thread carefully. A requisite for application is now to have read the lore team rules and regulations which will govern you during your tenure, should you be chosen by your ayylium overlords... In addition to the standard application format, please include the following: 1.) Three or more themes, events, locations, people, or anything which constitute your favorite parts about human lore, and why they are your favorites. 2.) Three of the same which constitute your least favorite or rather, most hated parts of human lore, and why you don't like them. 3.) What your main objectives as human lore developer would be. I look forward to reading your applications, Earthlings! Do not disappoint me... ?

Timeframe of Applications An ideal whitelist is posted, gains feedback, and a decision is made on the 3rd day (Within 72 hours) of its posting by its appropriate species overseer. There is no required amount of feedback; it can help the overseer make a decision but feedback isn't an inherent necessity to an app's ultimate fate. A lack of feedback means that the application is determined by the sole merit of the OP, unless a loredev themselves asks questions ofc. There is technically no minimum waiting period for race whitelists but it is extremely unusual for an application to be accepted before at least 48 hours have passed and usually never happens. If an application has sat without loredev comment or decision after 4 days you are encouraged to PM Triogenix, the Loremaster, with a link to your species application with a comment that it's been 4 days since it was originally posted. If it slips his mind or he forgets. Just keep PM'ing Triogenix; one PM per day with a reminder over sitting applications is totally acceptable! You can also remind Triogenix on Discord. Rule Update #1 All applicants are required to have a played character on the Aurora associated with their Ckey before posting an application. It is expected that you have some playtime on the Aurora at least a little bit before you apply. If you have no characters associated with your Ckey then your application will be declined. If you have no characters but lie about it, or otherwise falsify information, your application will be immediately rejected. If we find out after giving you the application then it will be immediately revoked. In both cases I will leave it completely up to the race overseer in question for when and how they'll allow you to reapply. Rule Update #2 All applications must be made with connection to the whitelisted species lore. Part of the purpose of a whitelist application is to demonstrate that you have sufficient understanding and knowledge of the lore for the alien race you are applying to play as. Sidestepping major themes in a whitelisted race's lore suggests that it was not studied or not understood by the applicant.

For the love of god help me with all these servers lmao. I think it's off to a great start and it's a very pleasant change. Less servers for me to click through and read and all in one centralized location.

Since lore team was brought up, albeit in passing mention, I would like to mention that there is a lore team rules and regulations with code of conduct that every new lore member is made to read when they join. I can post it publicly if anyone is interested.

Given the overwhelming support in this thread, and that I've sat on my hands for a month and nearly two weeks now, I've decided to accept this application. Congratulations!

To bring this back around, since I do not think it's an inherently bad idea, I am interested in possibly implementing this or something like it. The biggest question I have is how big would a retcon have to be to warrant the one week trial period? The vast majority of retcons are unintentional in nature and even during my tenure as tajara dev certain bits of lore passed my notice in various places and were accidentally retconned. Should a single sentence change on the wiki count or would it have to be a substantial change, and if so, how substantial? Not rhetorical questions, genuinely interested on working this out.

Given how old this policy suggestion is, and given how long IPC heads of staff have been around, I have decided against this course of action for our lore.
