Hey everyone! This is olesia (again), head mod extraordinaire, coming at you with a not-actually-quick announcement. And text forms! Everyone loves text forms, right?

Anyway, getting to the point: it's been about one year since we've last done one of these, and with players coming and going all the time, we're a bit overdue for Helpstaff Applications!

C&C's helpstaff are responsible for the updating and maintenance of our games many, many lists, including but not limited to hiatuses, reserves, player contact, taken characters, character tags, and so on. Some jobs are bigger than others, some pages requiring more frequent updates, but overall the tasks require a pretty solid handle on what can best be summarized as "not breaking HTML tables."

If you are interested in one of our many exciting positions, please fill out Prospective Helpstaff form and leave it in reply to this entry.

Current members of helpstaff: until helpstaff applications have closed, you are free from the chains of responsibility, so put down your pencils. Also, the password to the helpstaff account has been changed. If you are interested in continuing on, you will need to fill out the Current Helpstaff form and leave it here in reply to this entry. If not, you are free! Free I tell you.

As we may be reorganizing how many staffers will be needed per task (or, for that matter, how many tasks per staffer), we cannot yet provide a hard number of how many new/returning members will be needed.

Applications here need to be received by 11:59PM Eastern Time, Wednesday, April 10th.

Prospective Helpstaff:

   <b>NAME:</b> Who are you, by the way? <b>ROSTER:</b> Who do you play? <b>PLAYER SINCE:</b> When did you join? If you've come and gone, list your earliest join, but please mention any significant absences. <b>GENERAL EXPERIENCE:</b> Do you code CR charts in your sleep? Do you know what to do when your <TR>s break? Can you find the Where's Waldo that is a single stray " in twenty pages of coding? Do you know what <!--> does? <b>CONTACT:</b> Best way to get a hold of you. Email/AIM/Plurk/DW/Skype/etc. <b>SPECIFIC JOB(S) PREFERRED:</b> When you know for certain you want the Hiatus page and nothing else will do. Please list the tasks you want, most desired to least. If you are uncertain, skip this question. <b>GENERAL JOB(S) PREFERRED:</b> If you don't have specific pages in mind, please mention the sort of workload or schedule you're after. Depending on the tasks, your update schedule can range from needing near daily updates to being a ghost town, and difficulty can range from "there is literally no HTML coding involved" to "who the hell wrote this behemoth, oh god, I am crying in user name tags." <b>YOUR SCHEDULE:</b> How much time can you commit to the task? Frame this as number of times you can update in a week. No matter what task you're given, you will be expected to keep information up-to-date; depending on the page, this may mean within a day or two to within a week. <b>TASKLOAD:</b> Are you looking for only one task, or would you be comfortable managing more than one page if necessary? If another helpstaffer has to take a break, would you be willing to cover for them? <b>ANYTHING ELSE?:</b> Any notes, concerns, questions, or attempts at bribery go here.

Any problems? <b>SPECIFIC JOB(S) PREFERRED:</b> When you know for certain you want the Hiatus page and nothing else will do. Please list the tasks you want, most desired to least.
