[GM]Recruitment drive


Hey you! Yes, you! We are looking for some new blood, do you feel like applying? Do you think you are good enough? A path to become one of us is wide open now!

What do we do
The GMs are in charge of hosting in-game and forum events you see around Toribash and also work like a kind of in-game police, dealing with all sorts of reports from players. Basically, we are here to make sure the game is fun and interesting.

What kind of people we are looking for
Creative and active. You think you have some great ideas for events and a drive to make them happen? Then it is a job for you. You are going to work with people so being talkative and people's person is a great addition. As we do have power to ban people, you also need to be mature and reliable (there is no age limit, though). Finally, you need to be able to communicate with players from all around the world so speaking good english is necessary.

Why be one
It is the best way to help the community. It is also fun. We all want to see Toribash grow and thrive. Being able to have a hand in that, bringing smiles to the faces of hundreds of players is a great privilege and great responsibility. There is also special reward system. By doing your job well, you can earn special points. These points can be used to get you some items or fancy forum stuff like animated avatars and unique usertitles.

How to apply
You can send a free-form application to Powas, Jtank, Scorpio, Cheshyre, AzureMage, or Ryan. You are required to include your timezone, but everything else is completely up to you. You may want to take a look at this tutorial, though. As we we will be reading and voting on every single application, this process will take some time. There is no set limit of applictants we are going to accept. Those who are accepted will receive a special PM with congratulations and initial information about trial process.

Special recruitment for artists
You want to help us but becoming full-fledged GM does not sound so appealing, you are afraid you might not have enough time for the job? There is a way, as long as you can do art. You see, we need banners for our events, so if you have some kind of artistic talent, you may apply for a GM Artist position, which will allow you to closely cooperate with the team. This job is unpaid. Please include examples of your works (try to include at least one banner) in your application.


If you have any further questions, you are free to ask them here, but please do not post things like "I applied" or "Good luck to everyone else" - those posts will be deleted and you will get infracted.




Forum banner, visible at the top of the page is a work of Pheature.

I guess they could, but what is the point of having a recruitment drive and then picking up a new person. I think they said they wouldn't pick up anyone until the next round. But I was just giving him an example I guess
i guess i misspoke and would like a GM to answer my question for sure

is this how it works now? just collective apps and no more deadlines?

I'm not exactly a GM, but yea, you can apply whenever. It's just that there's a better chance of getting in under these recruitment drives because they're usually lacking GMs if they make them.
I sell TC and I give loans. PM me for info.
Need help with market? PM Ryan
<augans> youre my thiggist
<Muze> Id like to say, I don't apologize, I'm a tough guy in irl and I will be a tough guy in a video game. Ok that's it.

You can apply at any time. Decisions are just made faster by us in recruitment drives than any other time. Also what Ferras said is another reason recruitment drives are used.

Ninjad btw.

So, as a follow-up question then.. I missed the info on if we are at the end of a drive, beginning, middle, or in between? OR alternatively do you keep that a secret? I apologise for the mass amount of questions, I'm just curious to see what to look out for, as the GMs have changed slightly since I was last a GM.

Is there a cap to how many Game Masters there is at any given time?

Another question. If say I was to become a GM and did nothing, No tourneys helping problems etc etc... Is there a repercussion for that type of behavior? Or I should say, lack of "behavior."
