We are opening a call for those interested in becoming volunteer coders to assist with maintaining and expanding the features of Achaea. Due to the complex nature of our codebase, we require applicants with strong programming experience in low/high-level languages. Creativity is also highly sought-after, with the ability to think outside the box when developing new systems and processes.

Volunteer coders will be promoted to a Celani role and undergo training with the systems they'd be expected to be familiar with as a coder - there is some overlap here with things rp celani would learn, but they are different. As a result, this path does not lead to a god role, though this is on the table down the line if you decided it is something you'd be interested in (there would just be more to learn at that time!)

Due to the sensitive and potentially advantageous knowledge that comes with this position, it is not possible for coders to later return to their mortal characters. This specifically only comes into play after an applicants training is complete: while during the celani process this does not apply and if you decide this really is not for you, you're welcome to return to playing like other celani applicants.

How to apply
1- Read HELP CELANI in full. These are things that you will need to know before you apply.

2- Due to the legal obligations of this position, we require all applicants to be 18 years of age or older. We prefer experienced and mature candidates with at least 500 hours of playtime under their belt, though this isn't a hard and fast rule!

3- Send a plain-text email to both makarios@achaea.com and nicola@achaea.com with the following information:
- Your real name.

- Your real age.

- Your regular occupation and employer (if you're a student, let us know what school you attend, and what you major in).

- Your characters in Achaea, and a brief list of their accomplishments.

- How many hours per week you feel you can contribute to Achaea.

- A paragraph or two outlining your coding background, what your language proficiencies are, as well as any other skills you feel that you bring to the table (*nix admin / SQL etc.).

- Your general interests/what you'd ideally like to work on. If you're applying because you like the idea of working on combat systems, let us know. If economy is your thing, let us know. If you just want to fix bugs, that's great too (really, really great).

Deadlines

Applications must be received by 0 gmt on the 20th of September (that's the serenade!).

If you have any further questions, feel free to drop Nicola or myself a message or email.
