Positions

Example:

Tamashi wrote:Recently the White dragon slayer position came up for grabs. (Congratulations to our new dragon slayer, commiserations to those who applied and didn't get the position) I personally didn't go for the position not because I thought that the slayer position was overrated but because I put a lot of effort into my own magic; however, before rp there is always real life (poxy real life) which comes with responsibility and things unexpectedly popping up with this being said I do have a suggestion for positions/celestial keys that may make things a little more fair everyone involved.

What I think perhaps would make it easier/fairer on everyone within the site and allow more people to try go for these highly wanted items/positions would be a clear cut start/end period.

Example:

It's just a thought, even if not approved thank you for taking the time to read this.

Make All the magic for it, only to have to start from scratch in a month or so. I honestly think its ok the way it is, if some one wishes to remain fire dragon slayer for 30 generations, they can :P


They have to remain an active member of the community, which seems fair. Or if you don't want to give up our position, you could always attempt for a lacrima.

I'm not sure, but I didn't think he meant you're only allowed to hold the position for a certain amount of time.

I was under the impression that the suggestion was a certain period of time when applications would be open.

This was previously brought up in staff to allow a 24hr wait period of applications. However, Positions have always been on a first come, first serve basis; there has never been an allotted wait time. It may seem like a competitive thing to you, or something in that context, but positions are based on what the admins, and myself, see in the person and if the person had met set requirements. You don't see multiple people signing up for WS #1, for example, because they think they deserve it despite their rank. The most that can be offered is more prerequisites before signing up to help sift out the ones who aren't necessarily prepared/deemed worthy of the position, as harsh as that sounds.

Ardere Kasai wrote:I suppose I could see the use in it. But anyone who truly wants it will apply immediately. xD we've got some snakes waiting in the shadows to strike!

In the odd situation of no one applying for it, I'm guessing it gets an extension?

Doesn't have to be something as long as a week, but a day or two offers different time zones the opportunity to express interest. After that maybe they have another two days or so to make their sample then it's decided.

I agree with having 24-48 hours for the position to remain open, just in case people are in different timezones or simply not online due to real life. (:

Nothing like a week; but 24 hours to let people who are interested throw up an app if they so desire.
