Are in the wrong place.

To apply for an SoV staff position, simply fill out and post the form at the bottom of this post. Currently the following positions are open:

[/color]
RP Mod - 1
Quest Master - 1
C-Mod - 1
Section Mods - 0
[/i][/ul]


"Can I apply for a position if there aren't any openings?" Yes, you can apply for any position at any time. Should a need arise the Admins will give preference to any pre-submitted applications (by active members in good standing) when looking to fill a position. The exceptions to this are G-Mod and Admin -- G-Mods are promoted into the role from amongst existing staff, and becoming an Admin is a decision made by the existing Admins only.

JOB DESCRIPTIONS:

C-Mods: Short for 'Character Mods', these Staff are tasked with working and maintaining the Character Management and Emporium sections. Their job is to review and approve/deny character profiles, handle Emporium purchases and other character edits, and generally ensure that the 'characters' end of the Soul Eater RP runs smoothly.
Approved character profiles should be given a post by the C-Mod announcing approval and the entire thread moved to the Approved Characters section. Don't lock approved profile threads, by the way.
Similarly, Emporium purchase threads should be "tagged" (and locked) once the transaction is complete.
C-Mods do NOT have the power to ban people or act as rule enforcers, nor can they do approvals, edits, or purchases for their own characters. They also cannot take liberties with unclaimed canon characters, not that they should ever need to.

Quest Masters: "QMs" have nigh-godlike power over the Soul Eater RP sections. Theirs is the domain of story progression, Missions, and "dungeon mastering" for the various roleplay sections. While any Full Member (or higher) can run Missions, QMs are experts at running Missions and thus have authority to step in and correct any issues in any Mission. Also, the final rewards for Mission completion must be given by a QM after a quick review of the Mission -- a glance for quality and difficulty should be sufficient. This is an extremely vital role to keeping the RP running. QMs should also be kept in the know regarding any major plot developments being planned, due to the nature of their role.
QMs do NOT have the authority to ban people, but may serve as rule enforcers for any trouble that arises from any RP threads, including the Free Roleplay Zone (punishments for infractions must be requested from a G-Mod or the Admin -- QMs cannot "lay down the law" themselves.).
QMs are the lowest Staff rank that can use unclaimed canon characters as they see fit.

RP Moderators: RP Mods oversee QMs and C-Mods alike, and also possess the same authority/duties as both groups put together. RP Mods can approve/deny/edit characters, handle business at the Emporium, run Missions, orchestrate unclaimed canon characters in-story (when needed), hand out goodies and Points -- essentially, do everything and anything that's necessary for the main RP's functionality. RP Mods shouldn't be doing all the work -- that's part of why C-Mods and QMs exist, after all -- but they can serve as a catch-all if things get too busy or if other Staff Members are unavailable for a while. RP Mods also have the power to enforce forum rules, and may administer any form of reprimand / punishment short of banning.

Section Moderators: Mods assigned to various other sections. Their duties and role vary based on what sections they oversee.

Global Moderators: In Evil Overlord terminology, these are the 'trusted lieutenants', the right-hand men (or women) of the Evil Overlords Admins. They have the power of all the other previously-listed positions combined and carry the responsibility to oversee daily operations if the Admin is unavailable. These Staff Members wield the legendary Ban Hammers as their ultimate weapon and are sworn to root out all corruption and trouble within Shades of Vertigo.

Alright so some of you may have noticed that the infamous Margatroid has recently been promoted to Questmaster

The negotiations for Marga's promotion happened long before the Staff applications were put up and only recently finished. Nas approached me asking me to pick a member I thought could serve as a viable helper to help me reduce my workload. After observing everyone and singling people out, I came across Margatroid and struck a deal with Nas. The conditions for the deal were:

Mar will have to lead the Wild Winter Wonderland Whims in a satisfactory way to prove himself as a viable permanent QM.

The conditions of this deal are entirely between me and Nas. I was asked to pick a member and try them out. If any of you have a problem with that, feel free to take it up with me and I'm sure we can work it out.

It is with some sadness that I must announce that Geno has retired from his position as Admin of SoV. He will still have the honorary title of Forum Adviser but will not be engaging actively in any staff activity.

To that end I'm "re-opening" staff applications with additional open positions. If anyone's interested please post here -- we're always on the lookout for people who are talented, dedicated, or even simply interested. You guys (and girls!) are what truly make SoV a great place to roleplay.

I'm just looking to help the site with the free time I have, really...

[Rocton]

Would you be willing to regularly and actively coordinate and run missions?

[taka]

If that's what you need help with, then... yeah.

[Rocton]

Get one or two started and we can definitely get you into the staff.

This option is available to all. If I notice anyone putting some real effort to continuously aid the site by being active and contributing crucial and great ideas/services. They have my full support for a staff position.

[Sid Barret]

I guess I could do the same... I did set up a sign up sheet for one mission...
