Help Wanted!
All-Purpose Staff
We are small enough and slow enough that we have no specialized roles as staff yet, though if you have any particular portion of the site you'd be most interested in, feel free to mention in your application!
We're looking for creative, hardworking individuals who are willing to join the team. We expect maturity, intuition, and willingness to learn and step forward when stuff needs to be done. Our staff should not be condescending or abrasive, and must be willing to listen and learn from mistakes, as we all make mistakes.
There is no deadline and we will hold these applications open as long as we need to get the people we believe will be best fits.
Requirements
- Must have a Discord account. Voice/Video chat is not required. Instant messaging on Discord is the main way we communicate with each other. Oftentimes, the admin discord channels are where new ideas are planned out and details are decided, as well as important updates.
- Must have a Xiun.us account. This one's a given!
- Free Time. This is a volunteer position - real life comes first and we understand life itself can be a drain, but please don't apply if you know you won't have the time or motivation to be a part of the team.
- Kindness. We want to maintain a friendly, positive environment, both within the staff ranks and with our users. If you notice a fellow staff member is being unkind, (even if it is hopefully unintentional!) please speak up, either to them or to an admin.
- An understanding of the game. It's understandable if you don't understand some things as intensely as others, but please apply only if you have at least a decent understanding of how the main functions of the site and ARPG games in general work.
Duties
Standard duties
- Check the website daily for new submissions/design update requests.
- Answer player questions.
- Participate in the Staff Discord to develop new ideas, discuss changes that should be made, and make suggestions.
- Check submission content and forms for correct numbers, fitting requirements, etc.
- Process Actions such as Foraging, Mining, Diplomacy, Crucibles, Investigations, etc.
- Potentially: Help with art needs the site has.
- Be active!
We're still pretty small, so oftentimes it'll be slow, but if you aren't doing your job when there's work to do and you're hardly seen on the Discord or the site, we may have to have a talk.
Due to our size, some of these duties may not arise very often, so please don't look at this list and think you'll be overloaded! That being said, this list is non-exhaustive. There are duties on top of these that we may ask of staff, such as assistance with writing new guides, etc.
Special Duties
There are some focuses we are in need of assistance with:
- Design Guide is need of some focus, examples, and new text.
- World Expansion and brainstorming.
- Someone willing and able to judge literature entries.
- Determining genomes for migrating Tark'ee.
Benefits
- Being a staff member on Xiun.us is a volunteer role. We unfortunately don't have a budget to pay staff real-life currency for their work!
- Staff actions are paid with a staff-only currency that can be used in a staff shop.
- You get to see and participate in planning, plotting, and building the site and game.
