Please read this in its ENTIRETY, if so!
AGMs are required to put in at least 20 hours per week, and can often expect to put in more than that. Candidly speaking, they should also be ready to all but give up playing PCs, which is not a requirement, but a natural evolution in many cases.
In general, an AGM must be very well versed in general gameplay. If you'd like to become one, you should have an excellent grasp of the game, roleplaying, and game policies, and a handle on at least basic technical issues. You'll also need to be patient, diplomatic and compassionate, with strong grammar, typing and communication skills. Good candidates are TEAM players.
Training and orientation is an ongoing and lengthy (some would say grueling) process. You should expect to be immersed in it for at least 120 days, and likely longer. AGMs in general must be able to focus and stay on task in a sometimes intense atmosphere under intermittently heavy pressure and deadlines.
If you meet the foregoing requirements and remain interested in becoming an AGM, keep reading!
We're hiring for...
EVENTS TEAM. Exceptional roleplaying skills and a verifiable history of event participation are absolute requirements. Events AGMs must be able to quickly immerse themselves in a plot or character and then (of equal importance!) be able to let that character or plot go when the time comes. Candidates should be strong in communication and interpersonal skills, as well as be energetic, creative and able to adjust in mid-stream as dictated by player involvement.
PLATINUM EVENTS TEAM. All of the above, and then some. Must be familiar with the smaller, more intimate environment of DragonRealms Platinum, or be willing to spend serious time there learning about it.
THE FALLEN EVENTS TEAM. All of the above, plus a tolerance for the indelicate.
WEDDINGS TEAM. Excellent writing and communication skills are paramount here. Wedding AGMs must be able to take a worksheet, make changes and suggestions, create items, endure QC, pull off a dream event, and all the while tame nerves and deliver service with a smile. And then do it all over again. And again. And again.
GUILDS TEAM. Barbarians and Rangers in particular. Your main character need not be of the guild in question, but you must possess a love for the guild and especially for the players in it. Requirements: an up-to-the-minute understanding of the guild's direction, an ability to stay on top of often competing demands, and a drive to keep the lines of communication open.
If you're interested in this AGM position, go review POLICY (TAC) and TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS) at http://www.play.net/dr/gamepolicy.asp and http://www.play.net/dr/simu_policy.asp respectively.
