Event Leader Applications


There is now ONE position open for the rank of Event Leader.

Requirements:
  • You must be Guardian rank or higher.
  • You need to be willing to make at minimum one quality event per week. Creative and original events are encouraged, but standard events such as mini-games and monster hunts are fine as well.
  • You need to be highly active - forums, IRC, TeamSpeak, and RuneScape.
  • You need to be willing to do necessary forum work (quality event recaps, updating attendance, managing competitions, and contributing to staff discussions in Level 3).
  • You need to be responsible with moderation privileges - IRC HalfOp, TeamSpeak server admin, forum Mod CP.
  • You need to be able to handle abuse, criticism, and just general crap from members with the utmost maturity.
If you can't do any of the above things, Event Leader is not for you.

Remember, if you are accepted, you will not be working alone. All staff works together as a team. If you ever need help with something, any fellow staff member will be more than happy to help you. Specifically, you will be working closely with Dallarsaurus and myself.


Applying:
The applications will be open until Thursday, April 21.

Once the applications have closed, the candidates and their applications will be discussed by all current staff. The process generally takes no more than 3 days.

Take your time and make a quality application. Put some thought into the questions asked and write detailed responses to them. All staff members will be reading your application and will use it to determine if you will be a good addition to the staff.

Application Format:
Before you fill out the application, please read over the requirements one more time. Ask yourself if you really want this position and if you think you can do a good job with it.

Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please talk to me on IRC or send me a forum PM.

....

(When you are done filling out the application, post it here on this topic!)

Why do you want to be WG's next Event Leader?

I've been here for a long time already, and i havn't really done anything significant in my time. I've been elite for about 3 months now, and theres been constant times where I've wanted to update sign-ups myself. There's even been times when I've wanted to be able to update Attendance myself. I love WG so much and I have since the day i decided to join. I want to give back to the community. I reckon its abit unfair when members are pushed into circumstances where they have to relinquish alot of their saved up cash to support the clan, and not get an opportunity to make the money back. I will be that solution.

What do you have to offer as an Event Leader and what makes you more qualified than others who are applying for Event Leader?

I feel i can offer a level of commitment that would be admirable for alot of people, my current activity is through the roof compared to alot of other members (not trying to be up myself). Im on Runescape alot and I check forums about 26,000 times a day.

I believe that during the weekends, i can cater for any Timezone needed. EST is Lunch time for me. Evening GMT is early morning for me (which i have no problem getting up for). And AEST can be all day really.

I don't think that makes me more 'qualified' but i do think that would make be a valuable asset as an Event Leader.

In terms of leadership, what are your weaknesses (be honest)? How do you plan to improve yourself in those areas?

My weaknesses? I guess i could only say that i feel really bad when other people don't make money on a trip that I'd host. But that can be easily solved, suck it up smile.gif

What types of events would you be most interested in creating if accepted as Event Leader? Have you thought of any original event ideas already (If yes, please briefly describe them)?

No I havn't. I take pride in saying that i lean more towards the PVM side of Events, as I'm sure alot of you have seen already. I have been jotting down a few ideas relating to some competitions i can incorporate with Boss Hunting, one that stands out would be like the OTG Points system. This will encourage more people to go out there and get some moolah eviltardsmile.gif

Should you be accepted, how long do you expect to hold this position for?

Until someone wants to take my spot hash.png. Naw i don't plan on qutitting unless something really traumatic happens i guess. I don't have exams for another 6 months so we could go from there?

One problem with leadership is a tendency to start strong, then fade out into ineffectiveness and inactivity. Will you promise to uphold your duties continuously throughout your service to the best of your ability?

Hellz no. You know that'll never happen. There's no way that i could ever quit WG. This place is my home. I've got nothing better to do in my life, as I'm pretty productive with my time.

In the next two months, is there anything that will make you inactive?

Definetely not. My activity will stay the same for the duration of my stay. School does play a factor which would mean i could do 1 or 2 Events on the weekend. Weekends would be the timeslot that I'd like to play with.

Is there anything else you would like to say?

My Application may not be as lengthy as others, but i really do mean it when i say that I'd put my all into this. I feel I've been due to give something back for a long time now, reckon this is my shot to do it. Thanks for taking the time to read what is my application and i know you'll make a good decision smile.gif

P.S Even if this doesn't get accepted im still making events for Bosses n stoof! tface.gif eviltardsmile.gif

Why do you want to be WG's next Event Leader?
I love this clan and doing events is by far my favorite thing to do in it. I want to be able to host events once or twice a week. I know how to do almost every boss so it wouldn't be hard to teach the newer members that don't know how to do it like the supplies you need and your gear setup. Even the skilling events are great and everyone seems to always have a ton of fun with them because of the competition aspect of it. It would be great to host events that we can profit from, which will be great to buy more PvP sets or just the sets that we lost. I can handle a group of people when it comes down to it and making an event wouldn't be a problem for me. any event I make while being an EL I would definately make it on time as I've been an active consistent member for a year now. Being that I love doing fun activities on RuneScape and I feel this position fits me best.

What do you have to offer as an Event Leader and what makes you more qualified than others who are applying for Event Leader?
I'm improving myself to be around a group of people , and I've been with the clan long enough to know all the members and mostly all the new members. I know this job is a big responsibility and I'm willing to give it my all in order to take up this position. I'm very active, and attend almost all the events I can when I'm not stuck in school. I'm good with forums, and I'm also willing to learn from other Event Leaders when I'm doing something wrong or if there's a problem that needs to be taken care of. I am very persistent to get a job done even if it takes me a long time. I have a lot of experience with bossing, and I'm very good with penguins and I know how to do a lot of mini games.

In terms of leadership, what are your weaknesses (be honest)? How do you plan to improve yourself in those areas?
In self reflection, I struggle with criticism as I always want to do my best and I get disappointed when I feel I am not meeting the expectation of my clan mates. I do eventually accept the criticism but it takes a few minutes for me to think about and accept another persons point of view. But that's something I can improve on and learn from.

What types of events would you be most interested in creating if accepted as Event Leader? Have you thought of any original event ideas already (If yes, please briefly describe them)?
If I had to chose events I would make, I would do a lot of bossing, its a great way to make bank. A lot of members are always losing bank due to Pkri's and we never have enough boss hunting during the week to make it back and we end up losing about 5-10m on sets. I wouldn't have a problem taking suggestions if the clan members wanted to mix it up and maybe train a skill. I wouldn't have a problem making up a fun event like capture the flag in CWA or anything else that crosses my mind.

Should you be accepted, how long do you expect to hold this position for?
I hope to hold this position for a min. of a year. Understanding real life issues happen however at this point in time there are no problems.

One problem with leadership is a tendency to start strong, then fade out into ineffectiveness and inactivity. Will you promise to uphold your duties continuously throughout your service to the best of your ability?
My greatest strength is my persistency of setting goals then achieving them. Ive been playing for about 7 years. o.O and i continue to love this game by making things new and different and not getting bored of it, and I do promise to do the best that I can :]

In the next two months, is there anything that will make you inactive?
For the time being everything is going extremely well but there's nothing that would really make me go inactive.

Is there anything else you would like to say?
Thank you for taking your time to consider my application. I'm very supportive of you decision and good luck to any others that apply <3<3<3

If you're going to apply, make sure you're going to last longer than a month or two. It seems like every few weeks there's event leader applications because people can't hack it.
