Not really news, but it seemed the best place to make it easily noticed. We've cut all but one staff member [ Nash ], and streamlined the main page a bit. As far as new staff goes, Coqqy and I will be working on an application process to be put up ASAP. After that, anyone is free to apply for a writer/moderator position. Specialized positions may be available, but nothing is certain right now. I hope this will increase our productivity, and make the place look a bit less cluttered. We look forward to revamping the staff. Thank you.

Revamping the staff? Puns... Sadly, it was completely unintentional. Oh well, it makes me laugh.

Good to see that my column survived the slashing.

Revamping. Nice, even if it was unintentional. But new staff positions? Hm... This sounds rather interesting. Or rather, I'm interested? o.O

Alright, after a few days of figuring it out, I think this is what we're going to do for applications: 1) You need to know how to take pictures. And good ones. ((Screenshot)) So provide us with one of a newsworthy event. Anything works! 2) We need a basic weekly schedule, so that we know how much time you can devote to your position and hire accordingly. Nobody likes the news when the news ain't being reported. 3) We need a list of your clan/family affiliations. No, this won't affect whether or not you get the job, it's more so we know who belongs to what clique and can get a well-rounded staff. 4) An SS. Fully powered pires get first pick when it comes to our staff, because it means you're more connected and you have more time when you're not questing. 5) Your interests! What do you want to write about? Maybe you like reporting on sirings/bindings/severances more than wars. Maybe you're queued into the gossip and you want to do a gossip column. (I hate gossip, but it seems like people like it, so we might implement it). Maybe you loooooove wars and you know everything there is to know about every HW thrown in the City. Maybe you're interested in interviewing new/old pires. The point of revamping the staff is to get a wide array of articles, instead of people who just want to write about their friends, family, or their opinions. Yes, you'll get an editorial soapbox, but we want more than that. 6) Lastly, we want at least 1 page ((Like WordPad, 12pt font.)) of coherent news writing. You get to pick the topic. If it's newsworthy to you, we want to hear it. This is mostly to make sure you can write well and for us to find out your strengths and weaknesses. If you need someone to edit your articles and fix some little punctuation mistakes, we want to know ahead of time. We like good writers, but also want to offer the opportunity to people who think they may not be able to write as well as others. I hope to see a few applications in my inbox soon.

Yeah, what the boss lady said! Also, I'd like to add that if you should find yourself getting a job, the family name leaves when you pick up that metaphorical pen. Potential writers, you will most likely end up staffing with at least one 'pire you don't like, but we won't stand staff fighting amongst staff over something like blood ties, or clan affiliations.
