Jennifer and I are looking to hire some new staff to lighten some of the logistical load. Since they require substantial work during events, the person filling each role will not be required to monster in addition to receiving boon. Read about the new positions below and either leave a comment or contact one of us if you're interested.

Ensure that helpers start on time, stay on task, and complete jobs adequately. Walk with the park ranger during inspections. Award boon for cleaning jobs after each event. Other related duties as directed by the Head of Logistics (Jennifer Ward).
Qualifications: You must have an impeccable attendance record with the game, since you'll be needed for every event. Preferably, you have also done most of the more difficult cleaning jobs in the past so you already know how they need to be done.

I would -love- to be the new player counselor. One of my absolute favorite parts of this game is meeting new people, getting them excited about the game, and helping them flesh out their characters. I would really enjoy helping the game out with this duty. As for my attendence, well, I've missed one game in two and a half years, I switched my job so I could have weekends free, and I'm always online to help folks out between games.
I would love to continue to be a friendly face and help out the new players! =D
To be honest I am also interested in the new player orientation. I have been a part of the unofficial newbie welcome squad for years. I have helped a ton of people create characters and I have missed one game in almost my entire time being here. Also I have recruited for the game extensively. I may live almost 3 hours fro. The game but I am on consistently and I warmly welcome every new player I see on, as well as suggest races and classes. Also I am deeply knowledgeable about game systems and have been meaning to submit mods for plot approval. If you guys choose someone else it won't break my heart but I really do want to put my love for the game into new players and help them love it like I do. Plus this could be my way of giving back to a game I love with all my heart.
I'm interested in the New Player Counselor position. This is my thrid season here but I've missed a few games. Now I have a job where I will be able to get all of the game weekends off. I feel like I have a good grasp on the basic rules. I am good at giving advice, instruction and answering questions. I have a fair amount of experience as a game master and feel like I have an understanding on how mods are run here. And I would be more than happy to work with Mark Shell :)
I found out that the storage unit is fairly close to Umstead. I would like to apply for the prop master position. I plan to come ot all the games and can usually get off early on Fridays. If desired, I can help out for this event. PM me with the location of the storage and I can meet the current prop master there any time tomorrow after ~2PM for training and orientation if desired.

I'd be interested in the Custodian Duty. I know most all cleaning duty as having worked at a camp before.
Plus I'm used to picking up after other people. My last roommate was a complete slob and all of the cleaning fell on me.
As for Attendance, I'm not planning on missing any games. After the first event, I'm hooked.
