    • Come :p


      I can advocate that as a member of the staff, you will have the opportunity to learn even more about the game, mostly from a side that you probably can't imagine entirely. We are the door between the players, and the business. As such, we are expected to protect both. If you have already moderated in other games (especially in German massive and classical online games like Travian), consider that our staff has much more interactions with the company, and that our voiced opinion is much more heared in a proactive way. The value of your contribution will be recognised.


      I would like to add, as a Team Leader (even if you will not work with me directly, but we will more than certainly cooperate on cases as they rise), some details to the points Yak mentioned :


      "At least 18 years old" ---> We all know that some people <18 years are perfectly mature and intelligent, but as staff, we may be exposed to confidential data. It is important that we are old enough to be responsible as adults.

      "Ability to communicate with users in a professional and mature manner" ---> You will encounter, sometimes, people that will threaten you, insult you, or act as if they were under drugs. You can't answer an insult with an insult, and you need to be the better man. It takes training to be able to deal in an courteous way with someone that isn't there to respect basic human decency.


      "You are a friendly person not driven by ego or titles" ---> If you come to us because you think we are some kind of nobility bearing magical powers, you're wrong, and will be disappointed. Spare yourself this experience. If you came to this conclusion, please think if you have not confused the player with the mod. (A great player is not necessarly a mod, but maybe he would be a great mod)

      "You have game experience and have a fairly good understanding of gameplay" ---> Beginners will naturally ask to the staff is they have a question, if nobody helped them. Nobody can know everything, but it's our pride to be able to help as much as possible (as well as to remain humble when we are wrong).


      "Willingness to learn" ---> you will do mistakes. We all do. Mod or Team Leaders, it's the same in that regard. Willingness to learn isn't only to be curious, it's also about humility in front of our unavoidable mistakes, or our lack of knowledge. It is mandatory to find pleasure in your community service, as well as to progress.


      "great learning experience which you are able to include on your Curriculum Vitae or Resume for job applications" ---> You may think of it as irrelevant. It's not. I do recruit sometimes, and the core idea is as follows : Everything in the right context is a tool for your CV. Out of timidity, one (especially young) may consider that it's shameful to speak of some community service on a game, or even of the fact that you play games online.

      Thing is (2018 figure), the people playing video games are 35 years old in average. If you are seeking a position for a job that implies customer service, or even handling data, then speaking about a community service made as a moderation staff is perfectly relevant to explain why you understand the job. I would even go a step above : After 2 years of doing challenges in teams on CoN, why on earth wouldn't you use this experience as an example of your ability to work as a team and to be proactive ?

      ----------------------------------------

      Everything is an life experience and can be related as such, there is no "petty" thing. In the same way, being a staff member is an experience by itself, and throughout my long service for both Dorado and Supremacy (it has been 7 years now, woooouh. I was 19 years old !), i do not regret it. And i sometimes ask myself if this hadn't an impact on my decision to shift from historical studies to Web/ cyber commerce, where i now work.

      If you love the game, and if you want to go deeper in it, definitely consider to join the staff. It's great for all good and bad things that happen.
      Running an online alliance is pretty much like running a small company, except you need to find other way than money to keep your employees productive. May they play or work, they are humans.
    • First thing every applicant should provide is the knowledege of reading. ;)
      Those who read the Topic post to an end will find how to apply for Staff :)

    • YAK: I have been patiently waiting for over two years now. I think it will be really unfair if I get passed up over others. I can speak four languages, I signed everything that needs to be signed, please do not pass me up , again or I do not know how long I would have to wait, again.

      If you cannot figure out the first step on how to apply, then you should not be a moderator.
