Game Notes #31.5: Mod Help Wanted!

GAME NOTES #31.5: October 05, 2020—


§ a word from lwp

Hey, guys! So this year's been pretty crazy, and between the amount of emotional stress everyone's been under and some medical issues, I'm going to be stepping down from the mod team, which means at least for now, I'll be leaving Forgotten Tales entirely. I was really honored and excited when Lae roped me in to help bring her idea to life, and I'm honestly amazed at how much the game's grown in the last two years (two years!). We definitely couldn't have done it with all you amazing players past and present, and all the crazy characters you bring to the game, or without one of the best teams I've ever seen, let alone one I'm honored to have been a part of. Moderating here and playing with Kotori is always gonna have a special place in my heart. Who knows, I might swing by again someday, but for now, I definitely need a breather. I know all of you will help keep this game running as wildly and brilliantly as always. Thanks for everything, guys!




§ help wanted!

With LWP stepping down, that leaves Taisa and I (Laena) on our own and we are in great need of 1-2 helper and/or co-mods to help us out! Tasks vary depending on what a person is up to doing, but what we will really, really need help with is writing stuff. Prompts for campaigns and logs, narratives, summaries, the Commission Board—those take a lot of work and while they don't come around often, when they do it can be a lot. Having even one more person to help in the writing will ease a lot of our work load.

We would prefer volunteers to have been in the game for at least 4 months and an active part of the game for a helper position, 6 months for co-mods. I'd also prefer if I know anyone wanting to fill in for the co-mod position, but it's not a hard requirement (it would just make things easier if we already know each other). And of course, we'd like volunteers to have a good investment in the game. We don't want to have to look for someone again four months the road! So although we do have big stretches of downtime, be sure you're prepared for when it's crunch time.

If we haven't scared you off yet, hop on over to the application form and apply! We would like to have at least one new person before the end of October since we have the upcoming campaign soon. LWP will be around to help out, but the sooner we have a replacement, the more time we have to get everyone settled.

Thanks guys!
