| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

In order to decrease individual staff member workload and allow us to work on additional secondary board goals, the staff of Imythess has agreed to seek hiring an undefined number of new moderators and creative staff members. As always, please keep in mind staff fluidity procedures, which we have and will continue to enforce: Active Staff Procedure and Staff Fluidity (click to toggle) Like before, we're looking for staff members who can perform the following duties: Moderator Expectations Creative Staff Expectations And we also need an applicant with a pretty specific set of personality traits: Desired Personality Traits for All Applicants Please keep in mind that an application period may come and go without any new staff members being chosen. You will never receive feedback on your application; do not contact staff members to solicit feedback or discuss application status. All applications will be taken seriously. Special Note: For this crop of applications, I am allowing existing creative staff members to apply for moderator positions, temporary or "permanent," if they so desire, and vice-versa. To apply, post a response to this topic answering the following questionnaire: For which position are you applying? Moderator (Knights of Imythess), Creative Staff (Scholars of Imythess) or No Preference. If you mark No Preference and are accepted, you will be given the position that the staff feels best suits your personality. Why should we bring you onto the team? Keep it brief and snappy. Do you have any past experience doing this kind of thing? Feel free to mention real-life or internet jobs you've held if the skills you gained in them are transferable here (e.g. jobs where you've worked as part of a team, leadership positions, professional writing work or publications, past forum moderation/administration). Do you participate in the Suggestions forum regularly? If so, you might want to mention/link to a few past projects you've had a hand in. When evaluating your application this time around, we will be lenient about Suggestions forum participation because the Suggestions forum is currently inactive. What's your long-term availability? If you're only active enough for staff over the winter, that's okay, just let us know. And maybe mention anything you know in the future that will make you unable to work. |

For which position are you applying? No preference. While I'd likely enjoy Creative Staff, I'm also perfectly willing to tackle various moderator chores around the board. Why should we bring you onto the team? I come online and remain online for hours every day, barring the occasional day I can't access the internet. I am an experienced member and writer and feel I know the system fairly well. Imythess has been my hobby since '07, and holds a place quite close to my heart. I'd like to lend a hand to the workings behind the scenes. Do you have any past experience doing this kind of thing? My previous job, before the store closure, was being a figure in charge of coworkers and handling responsibilities that were limited to few. Training in my current job for a similar position. Aside from real-life experience, I have some small prior experience on small rp forums with moderation and administration. Do you participate in the Suggestions forum regularly? I keep an eye on the Suggestion forum and am fully willing to participate in topics that interest me. I have more recently led the (currently inactive) "Hammering out the Cities" topic, seeking to gather some amount of detail in the various nationstates. What's your long-term availability? I am available every afternoon from roughly 4pm-10pm Pacific time, and this schedule is looking to be permanent for the next couple of years. No foreseeable events that would alter this availability. |

For which position are you applying? Don't care. I am willing to do whatever is needed, where ever it is needed, whenever it is needed (except during a Chiefs game!) Why should we bring you onto the team? I am highly active and extremely self-motivated; once I know what needs doing and how to do it I require little supervision, little direction. I am creative and willing to work with others, and do so well and effectively. Most of all - I poor all of myself into things I have an interest in, and Imythess has become a second home for me since I discovered it. I would enjoy taking part in its future development and day-to-day operation. Do you have any past experience doing this kind of thing? Yes. Worked on a few sites as a moderator and/or roleplay staff many years back and more recently on monarchy game.com, where I have been inactive due to total lack of being able to get role players to dive in. Outside of that, there was a site I was involved in developing ten years ago, including conceptual design and coding of a php based online game, never completes because of lack of funding and player base for the primary game. Real life side, I have been the team leader of the processing plant I work for for a year, and a previous job for many years. And then of course there is cooperative writing as a small add-on to the resume. Such as roleplay requires a team atmosphere to a degree, too. Do you participate in the suggestions forum regularly? I have been involved in a few suggestion topics, but have not been here long enough to get involves in many. I happily add what I can ifni have anything relevant, however. What's your long-term availability? I show up almost every day at varying times, especially for an hour around noon CST, and more frequently after 6 pm CST. A login is pretty much assured once a day, if not multiple times a day for hours at a run. This schedule may change in particular details but barring employment beyond 8 hours a day overall appearance should not differ much. Forever

For which position are you applying? bit of a preference towards Moderator, however I would be more than happy to be a member of the Creative Staff if need be. Why should we bring you onto the team? I am(usually) an active member of the community barring sickness/work getting in the way, checking the board daily. I would consider myself fairly calm, rational and relatively difficult to offend, though that would be more for others to judge than myself, I admit to being a tad biased on that :p Oh, and I think I might have a sense of humor. somewhere. Might have to dig it up and get a bit of dust off of it though. Do you have any past experience doing this kind of thing? Yes. I have considerable staffing experience on another rp site, and was a global moderator/ (and eventually an admin) on the official forums for Inselkampf before it died off due to lack of developer interest. the former position gave me significant experience with dealing with tasks similar to filling out shop orders. Do you participate in the Suggestions forum regularly? Extremely regularly, I've at least added my opinion to numerous suggestion topics, and made several of my own some of which were implemented. What's your long-term availability? I am fairly available up till january, at which point I will almost definitely be moving to the other side of the country via a week long road trip. After that I'll probably need 1-3 weeks to get settled in, but barring unforeseen circumstances, would still be at least able to check in occasionally during that time and remain active afterwards pretty much indefinitely.

For which position are you applying? I would prefer to join the creative team, but would be willing to be a mod if that i what is needed. Why should we bring you onto the team? I am active in that I at least log on once a day. I am also good at coming up with the 'creative stuff' such as events or item creation. I am an easy going person who gets along with almost everyone I meet. Do you have any past experience doing this kind of thing? I use to be a mod for Imythess back when I was active as Fara're. I was involved with several events and helped create many items that are still given out as gifts to this day. I know how to make fair and balanced prizes for events and I can come up with fun ideas for said events. Do you participate in the Suggestions forum regularly? I read pretty much any suggestion posted in the forums. If I feel I have something useful to say that has not already been stated I post. I got most involved while discussing some lore for Dark Elves. I have also been active in discussing various suggestion forum ideas in the chat box. What's your long-term availability? I am usually pretty free. There are a few nights a week where I am out doing RL stuff but I am still able to come on those days to at least check and make sure nothing is burning down. Only big plan coming up is taking my State Board Exam in January, which you might see me disappear for about a week to bury myself in studies. But that is about it. |

After some thought I'd like to withdraw my application for now. I'd love to be able to join the team and help out someday (if you'd have me) but now isn't as good a time as I thought. Sorry for the trouble if there is any. |

For which position are you applying? Mod. Why should we bring you onto the team? I already am on the team. I've done plenty of work for Imythess as a quasi-mod(well, I have good instincts on where to look) and I'm a long-term staff member. Do you have any past experience doing this kind of thing? Currently I'm pretty much one of the people people listen to at my workplace, but in past site experience I have both administrated and moderated on several sites. I have a very long history with working on staffs, and I do understand the justice procedures and such that Imythess uses already. Do you participate in the Suggestions forum regularly? I do, I helped push for the new Custom PrC feature and I've got my own ship price slash I'd like to get more people to look at. I've also got a few other little projects in the staff forum. What's your long-term availability? I currently have no real life because I know pretty much not a single person where I live besides coworkers, so I've got a lot of time for Imythess. |

For which position are you applying? I'd prefer creative staff, but I have no problem with being a mod if needed. Why should we bring you onto the team? I'm an active member of the board in the cbox, RP threads, and various OOC boards. I've been a member for over four years, so I know the board and how things work fairly well. Do you have any past experience doing this kind of thing? I was a mod here on Imythess a long time ago (I was known as Nireza back then, and that was the name of my mod account). Otherwise, to be honest, I don't have much experience being on staff on online forums. Do you participate in the Suggestions forum regularly? I am an active contributor to the suggestions board. I was among the people pushing the revisions to the anti-magic system, particularly the split and changes to the old Dispel Magic spell. What's your long-term availability? I don't foresee any long-term absences or such. However, I am currently looking for full-time employment, so there is a good chance that my schedule will change in the near future. This may result in a short-term absence, but I will do my best to return to Imythess as soon as I can. |
