It's that time again GC Guide applications are now open.
NOTICE
The closing date will be 2 weeks from this posting
Any prospective applicants should read the below information then skip to the end of this post to find the questions needed. Anyone that doesn't follow the instructions and post where it should be posted, and how it will tell you, will be disqualified from this entire application set guides are no good to us if they can't follow simple instructions.
Remember Potential Guides should:
- Be familiar with the help center system and active on both it and the chat
- Be Relatively abuse free and have stayed so for a time
- Usually be at least 3 months old in game (though exceptions are made)
- Experience or a good working knowledge of most playable races
- The ability to conduct yourself to a higher standard than that expected of regular players
- At least 1 hours game time a day to devote to helping (2-3 hours online time a day at least)
- Good Problem solving skills and common sense
A reminder:
There are no monetary or in-game rewards for being a guide and once a guide you are expected to continue to work and help after you've got your (G) those that don't will be removed from the list.
Moderation IS NOT a part of a guides duties, anyone signing up just to moderate should not bother to apply and save us the trouble , A guide simply gives you a hyperlink to your PM Box, gives you access to more questions in help center and a tag so players can identify you in the chat.
IT is important that you read Part 2 & 3 before applying

Deiloche
99+ day(s) ago | Inability to answer all of those questions likely doesn`t disqualify you. If you had to have full and complete knowledge of the game to become a guide, then most of the applicants who were accepted in the past, would not have been. :P I don`t even know all of the formulas off the top of my head without consulting the spreadsheet I made when I figured them all out. |
GradualIncline
99+ day(s) ago | *smacks AshyLarry* I`ve never been one for ratios and formulas, and if anyone posts them here, or PM`s me them, I`m officially disqualifying myself from being a guide this time around. Maybe next time. :) *thinks about actually learning these things* |

99+ day(s) ago | So we apply in thread? What is the hourly pay? Is it okay if I play only once per week? |

Once completing the Post, Read over your answers etc, ensure it is being sent from the right account and they will be processed.All applications will be considered, and a few things to note are:
- Those who can join the staff irc channel will have a greater chance of success than those who can`t
- Previous history of chat offenses may put you at a disadvantage but you will still be considered
- Help and training will be given, but the ability to work on your own as well as a part of a team is essential
- Guides do not get the ability to silence or moderate , your sole duty will be to assist other players as you play, this may be reviewed as time passes
- Due to the volume of applicants every time, its not possible to reply to them, when decided, the chosen applicants will be contacted
Most of all, I hope those chosen can enjoy helping the community and good luck to all applying especially with those bonus questions, I`m sure you will enjoy them :)
