The switch to Althanas 3.0 was a huge undertaking and we need help.

We are looking to hire 2 features moderators, 2 judges and 2 CMs.

Features moderators handle all PG activity, moderate all tournaments and they are also responsible for supervising the new concepts section. The daily time commitment for features moderators is generally low except for periods of increased PG activity and during tournaments. Features moderators are not expected to judge, but many of them are eventually cross trained.

Judges grade all threads on Althanas. The time commitment for judges is generally high. We expect that each judge produce two judgments a week. Depending on the size of the thread judgments have taken up to 6 hours. Judges also undergo a new training program designed to reeducate them on writing technique and critique management. While the responsibilities are high, judges are generally the most revered on the site.

Canon masters are new for Althanas 3.0. They are the new version of regions writers. The time commitment for CMs is generally high. We expect that each CM to be active in one canon thread at all times. CMs work directly with Slavegirl and Taskmienster to develop permanent Althanas stories. This position has the potential to be the most rewarding on the site. It is ideal for people who love to write, as that is what you'll be doing 9/10ths of the time.

If you're interested in applying please submit an application. The application can be found here (http://www.althanas.com/world/misc.php?do=form&fid=3). Expect a response in about a week.

Can you please elaborate a bit on canon masters? Specifically, what exactly does a "canon thread" entail? (Sorry if this is something that was established pre-3.0; I think it was before my return in that case.) Not sure if I'll apply yet, but if I do, that would probably be my area of interest. :p

Canon masters replace regions writers. Rather than being assigned a region, adding some new content and doing nothing afterwards, CMs post daily in IC threads. CMs work with the content adminstrator and the head writer to develop Althanas' storyline. This could be the forum as a whole (ala FQ) or individual regions. Once a story has been outlined, the CMs will create a new quest (or battle) and play it out with real Althanas role-players. Basically CMs are GMs and if you play with a CM your RP becomes canon. The mix of a GM and canon is CM.

(This is Jack Frost Btw)
I would be more than happy to throw my name out for Cannon master. I find the idea intriguing. If it's the new region writer I would love to work with it. Expect an application with Jack by the end of the day.

I'm assuming you will need moderator(s) participation for the boss battle forum, I offer my services for that ... unless you already got that covered Dirks by someone else.

Erm, you are the head of boss battles Petoux, you just don't get access to the moderator forums yet.

Your real full name. Your user name shows up when you submit the application, and admins can run IP checks to show all of your accounts easily enough. My advice is to focus on demonstrating how you are uniquely qualified for the position you're applying for.
