Now Hiring: Warmaster

[TheonlyrealBeef]

Warmaster

The Elements Council is looking to hire 2-3 new Warmasters. Warmasters are the organizers of the major PvP event War. These are the main tasks:

• Finalizing rules prior to the event, and enforcing them during the event.
• Updating standings and creating threads each round.
• Providing support to the community, in the form of questions via forum or chat PM, chat discussion, or in the War threads.
• Resolving conflicts between participants, potentially ranging from desynchs to accusations of cheating, and maintaining a cool and level head in order to make decisions objectively.
• Communicating with other Warmasters in the event a ruling is needed.

Requirements:

• Full Member or above.
• Being very active on the forum in the weeks leading up to War to finalize rules, and during War to ensure the event runs smoothly.
• Maturity and reliability are essential.
• Ability to communicate effectively.
• Experience with Google Docs is a huge plus, but not required.

If you are interested, send TheonlyrealBeef a PM titled "Warmaster Application". Your application will be shared with the rest of the Council, and we will discuss the applications. Don't forget to read about what the Council looks for in an applicant if you haven't.

If you are unsure about applying, and have questions regarding the work of a WM, feel free to send a PM to mathman101.

Applications are no longer being accepted.

Why are we looking for generals for teams before we've even decided if this is a 12 team war or not?

to let's see if we would have enough general or not.

For anyone on the fence thinking about applying i encourage you to do it as it is an awesome opportunity. I know there are some people who are unhappy and unkind regarding the work and effort you put in, but remember there are more people who are thankful and grateful about the work you put into it. As a former WM I am happy to help with any questions you have before apply, or after you get the position (up to the start of war assuming no influential bias of me being a team general)

Optimistically I would love to see a war with 12 teams and 6 or 7 members on each team again!
Realistically I would be happy if we got 30 members to join this year. (and then prefereably 5-7 teams to prevent burnout on individual members).......but that is a discussion for a different topic thread.

What is expected timeframe?

What is expected timeframe?

Ultimately up to WMs. If there's a time frame that works or doesn't work for you, include in PM

This also implies that by volunteering as general, you support small teams, maybe that's why the interest has been close to none so far.

More importantly, I have not yet received enough applications to fill all the warmaster positions, so please consider!

3 member teams with Player 4s worked fine last War. Also PMing past War players may work as well.
Excluding whole elements is a really bad idea, while dual elements are impossible to balance properly.
There are still a playerbase on Kong, have no idea why haven't we tried to incorporate them into
the community.

1) Having 3 member teams is very ambitious and will most likely lead to disappointment.
2) Getting random people from kong never worked. 9/10 leave before auction ends. And that 1/10 will probably stick around until round 2 at best.

War won't start tomorrow. Getting random ppl doesn't mean that we are getting them just to run War properly.
It would be great to grow the community bigger. If only an inch bigger, that's an improvement as well.

Always worth sending a mass pm near war to everyone letting them know war is about to start. Should see a few returnees.
