Interim Deputy Loremaster Applications - OPEN!

[Mofo1995]

With Kyres resignation some time ago the position for interim deputy loremaster has been unoccupied. As of today I have decided to open applications to search for my assistant to help in the administration of the lore team. The duties, as described by the lore team rules and regulations thread, are as follows:

Spoiler

The lore team administration consists of the loremaster and deputy loremaster. They are at the head of the lore team and steer the direction of our game’s direction in story telling. They are responsible for curating the content of our official lore in all forms, managing the lore team, staffing lore departments, handling neglected whitelist applications, and mediating disputes between different lore departments. The loremaster cannot concurrently serve as a lore writer or lore deputy. The deputy loremaster may concurrently serve as a lore writer. This is to prevent the loremaster from having a bias when writing lore, and to help them to serve as an impartial arbitrator when discussing the direction of our lore and disputes between different lore departments. The loremaster is appointed by the server’s head developers and in turn appoints their own deputy loremaster, typically through an application process. The loremaster has the power to take disciplinary actions against lore writers and deputies only with the approval of the deputy loremaster. The loremaster may only staff lore writers through an application process which provides the community with the opportunity to provide their input, and cannot directly appoint a lore writer without observing the process. Lore team administration may not appoint deputies, however all lore deputies must be approved by lore team administration before their applications can be accepted. The requirements for the lore writer application process are at the discretion of lore team administration. Lore deputy hopefuls must also go through the application process before they can join the team. In the event that there is a lore writer vacancy, jurisdiction over that department is absorbed into the responsibilities of lore team administration, but the duties associated with it may be delegated to any deputies within that department. Even in the event of a lore writer vacancy, the loremaster may not appoint deputies to that department but must appoint a lore writer first who may then select their deputies within the rules. Lore team management is expected to be active in both the management and editorial review of content, and in interaction with the community through discord, forums and server play. Lore team management is expected to set the example in both lore writing and code of conduct.

The most important, but not the only feature I'm looking for, in a new deputy is the ability to play the role of a peacemaker. I'm looking for someone who is level headed, calm, and friendly who can be agreeable to the other lore writers. There's often a delicate balancing act that needs to be played in various dynamics, from factional disputes in lore team itself and balancing the interest of the head staff against those of the lore team which must be carefully undertaken. Players with a poor reputation or who are known for losing their cool will not be considered due to the delicacy of it. While previous lore writing or management experience would be especially appreciated, the application process will not be strictly limited to current members of the lore team. A good solid working understanding of our server's lore is absolutely a requirement. 

In addition to the developer application template, please include anything of your choice which you believe will be conducive to your cause to being brought on board as deputy lore master. If I believe what you have provided is insufficient in the amount of content, I will inform you so you have the chance to add to your application. 

Good luck all hopefuls, and happy applying!
