Celani call

Written by: Maya, the Great Mother

Addressed to: Everyone


We are now accepting applications from the playerbase for Celani
candidates, who will potentially rise within the Garden to join the Gods
within the Pantheon.

If you've been around a while, you know how this works. If not, or you
have but you need a refresher, here's how it goes:

- You must be 18 years or older IRL. Sorry, minors!
- You must have, at absolute minimum, at least 500 hours of playing
time.
- Read HELP CELANI and HELP PROMOTIONS in full.

Now, here's what you must include in your application, in a plain-text,
non-formatted email to celani@achaea.com:

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, creativity, improvisational skills,
storytelling ability, maturity, attention to detail, dependability, and
above all, a love of Achaea and the world we co-create here.

Your application must be received by midnight on the night of Saturday,
March 14 PDT. (In GMT and EDT, that's Sunday March 15, 7am GMT and 3am
EDT.)

If your application passes the first round, I will contact you for an
interview. If you have not heard from me about an interview by the end
of Wednesday, March 18th in PDT, please assume that your application was
not chosen.

Penned by My hand on the 13th of Ero, in the year 503 AF.
