Gamemasters are recruiting!
The GameMasters are back again, we are once more looking for a wave of trial GMs to step up and become the smiling face of the Toribash staff
What do GameMasters do?
The primary function of the GameMaster team is to keep the Toribash community entertained. This is done in a variety of ways, most commonly we host in game events such as GMTourneys, GMVictories and GMHotseats. We also regularly host larger scale forum events, for example The Haunted Gauntlet to keep Toribash fresh and exciting.
What does it take to be a GM?
The most important qualities in a GM, which we will be looking for, are enthusiasm, creativity and activity. We are constantly in need of new types of events and competitions to keep the game dynamic and exciting rather than monotonous. The most creative people, the ones who can consistently provide interesting things to present to the community are the ones we want to have on the team. At the same time a level of maturity and reliability is needed, as GMs do have power, we need to be able to trust the people we recruit.
Why be a GameMaster?
Being a GM is one of the most effective ways of benefiting the community, all of us want to see the Toribash community grow and you can play a part in that process simply by doing your job. In hand with this, it is one of the most fun ways you can help the community and as a GM you can have a great sense of satisfaction seeing your performance having a direct influence on how much other players enjoy the game.
There is also a nifty reward system for GMs who are doing well
How do I apply?
Simple! Send a free form application to Erth.
Include your GMT and any languages you are fluent in.
You may also want to use Dargon's tutorial for applying to a staff position.
You have 2 weeks from the date this is posted to send in your applications, then discussion will take an indefinite period of time after that. We don't have a limit on the amount of gamemasters we're looking for either!
Don't post "I applied" or "Good luck guys!" in this thread. Also esports. We don't want any esports you're selling. Feel free to ask us any questions if you need more information. Good luck chaps!
ppssssssssssttttttttt, we're also always looking for more artists and mod makers to help out! They get access to the reward too!
She/They
Yeah, I only don't like erthtkv2 because of the mod's name. Make it "tkv2," and the mod will instantly become more popular. This is a valid reason as the name of the mod is still an important feature that no one seems to have yet discussed.

Just think about what a gamemaster does and what you would want from one. Someone personable, can get along with a lot of people, can maintain a relaxed tournament environment while keeping everyone in check.
To answer the 2nd part of the question, again, it's pretty logical. Recent infractions and such aren't good because they indicate that you don't know the rules, and we can't expect you to tell others the rules if you can't abide by them yourself. If they're not very recent, then they can be overlooked because people can change and grow up.
We also look at the reason you want the job. If you want the job so you can ban people, not only do we not want you banning people, but this isn't a staff placement that is geared towards discipline. If you're just in it to be popular, also probably not a good thing. I hope that answers the question.
It does, thanks, I appreciate it.
I'm just gamin' man

Your belt has no impact on your app (:
