Title: Lavinya has resigned - position of MoN/ADL now open

Post by: Elgee on 18-08-2010, 19:21:54

It is with great sadness that I announce Lavinya's resignation due to time constraints. She has been a tremendous asset as MoN, and I'm sure you will all join me in hoping that she will be staying on at the WT as RPer and Gray Ajah Head.

With that, the position of Mistress of Novices and Assistant Division Leader needs to be filled. Due to the heavy workload of the MoN, this position needs to be filled ASAP. Applications will therefore close in 1 week (Wednesday 25th August). I will be interviewing people as soon as their applications come in.

Below are the requirements:

Before we begin, I wish to emphasise the following: The PSW is a Portal Stone world based on the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Any characters and RPs in the PSW are expected to conform to what would be plausible or a logical extrapolation, based on the WoT books. This includes the behaviour of Aes Sedai, to a lesser extent that of Accepted, and also the relationships between Novices, Accepted and Aes Sedai.

Obviously, character weaknesses make for more interesting RPs, and the Light knows Aes Sedai are not perfect! However, Aes Sedai make EXTREME sacrifices to gain the shawl, and only more so thereafter. They WANT to be Aes Sedai, more than anything else. Moreover, they have to have “the right stuff” in order to be allowed to go through the Arches and the Rings. Those who couldn’t “cut it”, would have been put out of the Tower and most likely joined the Kin. Anyone who has made it to a position of authority, like Sitter, Ajah Head, MoN, etc, would be especially determined, intelligent and dedicated to the Tower.

General OOC requirements for Staff:

There are a few things expected of anyone who applies for any kind of Staff or other leadership position at the PSW WT:

* Know the Code of Conduct and follow it.

* Know the rules and regulations (especially pertaining to your section) and follow them.

* Know the Wheel of Time books (you must have read all published books, and make a concerted effort to read each new one as soon as it is published).

* Set a positive example to the members of the WT.

* In an IC position, you must have at least a nodding acquaintance with the English language, its grammar, spelling and punctuation.

* Dedicate at least 10 hours a week (MoN)

* Post an LoA where Staff and Members will see it if you are going to be LoA for more than 4 days. LoAs of longer than 1 month will be dealt with on a case by case basis. Unannounced LOA's will be treated as job abandonment. Offending staff members will be terminated after two weeks unannounced absence.

Mistress of Novices:

* Know the latest rules, guidelines and requirements for Novices and Accepted

* Be almost constantly available on PM, email, MSN, Yahoo, Googlechat, Skype, and probably pigeon carrier to help N&A

* Read all RPs done by N&A or anyone RPing with them. Make sure they are within the rules and reqs.

* Guide N&A and help them organise and RP their Reqs – this sometimes means saying no to an idea that is just too implausible.

* Update records

* Chase down people RPing with N&A, and be prepared to take over RPs or find others to do so if those people leave your N&A in the lurch

* Organise OP Classes for the N&A

* Think up ideas for N&A RPs

* If you think you can do either OOC work, or IC work, but not both, don’t automatically assume there is no place for you. We might get a left shoe and a right shoe, and the two can work together

* Participate in the Arrival RP, and/or any other RPs where a N/A needs you. Remember that those RPs are to help the N/A develop as a character, so keep your own role small.

* Report to the Report Board once a month, with the statistics and other information needed.
