Good Day, Everyone! The interest appears to have come again and we hear your prayers!
We have heard the call, and we are opening up Temporary GMs for applicants. Everyone who signs up will have the option to host a Normal game or a Special game. Unlike before, we are not restricting who can apply, just as long as you fit the basic requirements.
To be a Temp GM, we require the following:
- Membership. You need to have been active player for 6 months (or longer) before you are eligible.
- Rules. You need to have a clear understanding of the rules. Those who have willingly broken the rules, committed serious offences, or maliciously cause other players distress will probably not be able to do this.
- Proper English. It does not need to be your first language! However, we want everyone to be able to understand you. So, communication is key.
- Seriousness. We want all applicants to be here and ready. If you are busy and want to go later in the turn order, please speak with us and we'll work with you. However, we want everyone signing up to take this seriously and fit this into their schedules without forgetting. If you sign up and we have no other temps left, but you are still unable to create your game, then we won't be able to wait for you.
- We want you to come to us with COMPLETE ideas. They do not need to be perfect, but they need to be finished ideas.
- Conversely, if you have a clear basic idea or outline for a possible special game and are unsure if we'll approve, you are free to ask us. Whether it be asking if we would approve at all to accepting/denying certain aspects, we are available resources (just so you don't have to waste your time submitting a game that is broken from the start).
- First come, first served. Given past experience with special games, we might need to limit the amount of specials. If you have those completed ideas, bring it to us as soon as possible to get approved.
- If you want a number on how many we'll approve, it depends on the number of applicants. Our tentative range will be from just a few special games (2 or 3) to half of the maximum applicants (however many that turns out to be). So if everyone has an idea, then we will unfortunately have to limit how many actually go through approval.
- When you have an idea, send it to [Kuro ], [Santa † ], [Degree ], and [dj505 ].
- Although we don't want to discourage your ideas, some themes are OFF-LIMITS. (Shh, don't ask why. We'll let you know if the theme is or is not available...)
Note: SPECIAL GAMES DO NOT NEED TO BE READY RIGHT NOW. If you have it ready, that's fine. If you need to work on it still or create one, that is also fine.
Sorry for the confusion.Some of our recommendations (but not required) to be a Temp GM include:
- ProBoards Experience.
- Past Temp GM Experience.
