It's time again for us to accept another round of Celani applications.
We are also looking for more mortal builders as well. If you wish to
apply for either or both positions, read on!

IF YOU WISH TO APPLY TO BE A CELANI ONLY, you must:

- Read HELP CELANI and HELP PROMOTIONS in full.
- Be at least 18 years of age in real life.
- Have played a MINIMUM of 500 hours. We prefer mature candidates with
more than 500 hours, but we will consider exceptional applications at
the baseline.
- Send a plain-text, non-formatted, non-HTML email to maya@achaea.com
with every single thing on the list below as part of the email, NOT an
attachment, in the order presented,
exemplifying for us your excellent attention to detail:
1. Your real name.
2. Your real age.
3. If you are primarily a student, tell us your school and your course
of study.
4. Otherwise: your real occupation and your company's name.
5. Your character(s) in Achaea and what you have accomplished through
those characters, especially any leadership positions you have held
or other noteworthy achievements.
6. Why you think we should make you a Celani (keeping in mind that
Celanihood precedes Godhood, so also why you think you should have
the chance to be a God).
7. Why you want to do this, knowing that you will have to completely
cut off ties with other (mortal) players and leave behind all that
you accomplished as a mortal player.
8. Two flawless room descriptions of 80+ words each. You MUST READ the
section on room descriptions at the bottom of the HELP MORTAL
BUILDERS file and follow the writing guidelines therein. DO NOT
SKIP THIS. The MAJORITY of applications I've received in the past
have ignored some part of the explicitly stated writing guidelines.
What this tells me is that you lack attention to detail and the
ability to follow given instructions, and neither of these traits
make good Celani candidates.
9. Any special experience outside of Achaea that you think might help
you in Celanihood, such as customer service background or writing
experience.

Strong writing skills are a must, as is the ability to work within an
often demanding and perfectionistic team environment. Other traits that
will help you: consistency, good character, improvisational skills,
storytelling ability, maturity, attention to detail, dependability, and
above all, a love of Achaea and the world we co-create here.

IF YOU WISH TO APPLY TO BE A CELANI OR MORTAL BUILDER (that is, if you
wish us to consider you as a mortal builder in the case that your Celani
application is not accepted):

- Follow all the instructions written above for if you wish to apply to
be a Celani only, but include a note that you wish to be considered as
a mortal builder as well.

IF YOU WISH TO APPLY TO BE A MORTAL BUILDER ONLY:

- As always, simply follow the instructions in HELP MORTAL BUILDERS. If
you enjoy creative writing, you will find mortal building to be an
enjoyable and rewarding pursuit, and one that does not require you to
leave your mortal character behind.
- Note that even if you are not selected as a Celani this time, doing
well as a mortal builder will highly elevate your chances of being
selected next time.

DEADLINES:

Celani applications will be accepted until the end of Sunday, September
3rd GMT, no exceptions. Applications for mortal builder alone are
accepted on an ongoing basis, so there is no time limit if you are
applying ONLY to be a mortal builder.

We always have more applicants than openings. Many apply that are very
well qualified. We never have enough openings to take them all, however
much we might wish otherwise. If your application passes the first
stage, we will contact you for an interview. If you have not heard from
me about an interview by the end of Wednesday, September 6 GMT, you may
assume that your application was not chosen.

Good luck!
