Evelon's staff has always been small, and over the years it's basically just gotten smaller. We did recently get more help with the addition of new artists, but still there is a heavy work load for a few select people. Shrewd works full time and I have both school and work, which easily amount to a full time job as is. The two of us typically take on as much work as we can, but there are always areas that have to be neglected to take care of the more important things as well as projects we want to do put are pushed aside due to too much work already.
That said, we obviously need help. We're not hiring anyone on as a full time mod or anything, but we do need help. We're currently considering hiring one or two users as 'mini mods,' essentially how Shrewd and I both started out working for Evelon. Currently mini mod work would consist of updating the insanely outdated ownership records, seeing as how they fall behind big time during the holiday seasons. We would probably ask you to do other small tasks for us here and there down the road, but the most important task at hand would be updating the ownership records and keeping them up to date instead of them sitting there for months without updates. Keep in mind that you will only be given the ability to edit posts in the required areas and won't be able to see the mod area, just as Shrewd and I started out.
What we're looking for:
• Someone with time available year round
- This doesn't mean being online every day. I just mean someone that doesn't drop off the face of Evelon for months at a time. I'd like the records updated every week or two, so I want someone with at least a little time available.
• Someone easy to work with
- Evelon can be stressful. Hopefully your job won't be as stressful, but remember that people sometimes trade something they aren't listed as owning and you'll have to try to work with them to figure it out (or bring it up to one of us.
- Even we mods argue. Sometimes a lot. Especially if we don't agree on how something should be run or a new possible rule. Don't let this hurt your feelings/take it too seriously. Shrewd and I have argued many times and I don't hate her for it or anything. We just get over it. XD Again, this shouldn't be as much of a problem with your job, but just as a heads up.
• Someone that doesn't expect payment
- Baal is the only one that makes real money off the site. Even we mods don't have get 'paid.' Baal does give us gifts from time to time, and sometimes we're even allowed to give to one another. It's likely that you probably will get the rare occassional gift, but we don't want you to think that you're getting paid monthly in KS/GT or anything.
• Someone dependable
- We want someone we can trust. Records are important considering some pets do cost a lot and things like potions can be exploited. We would want you to be honest when recording and if someone is trading a pet they aren't listed for to come to us if you can't figure out the story behind the pet, rather than just writing it off as 'they probably had it.'
I know I've been rambling, so if I haven't run you off and you are interested in helping us out, just fill this out and send us an email at: landsofevelon@gmail.com

Can you use the irc?:
Reasons you'd be a good mini mod:
We're not going to judge you based on your timezone (Krypto is on our team after all) and irc accessibility, but those are good things to know just for communication. This application is mostly to see those interested in helping us so we can mull it over, and the fact we're having you email is just so you don't feel on the spot with other users able to see your application. =)
