Mod Applications
Hello Alacrity,
We are opening applications for Moderator positions, however before you rush off to apply, please read through all of this thoroughly. This isn't a position for everyone, as it takes away from playing the site for entertainment, you have to be willing to be online five days a week and work during those five days. This work includes: handling issues in the issue hub, watching the forums, being in chat, and a variety of other daily tasks.
Being a mod isn't about getting people into trouble, it's about trying to prevent rule breaking through education, communication, and hard work. Site staff is here to help make Alacrity an enjoyable, equal, and safe place for all of our members. We're looking for players who aren't afraid of challenges, have a drive for improving Alacrity, and the ability to lead by example.
All applications that we receive will be read and considered, you need not have a spotless record to apply. We haven't opened up mod applications in a very long time, so we do this with both excitement and the promise to giving seriously thought to every applicant. We're looking for members who are committed to Alacrity, whether they're always in the forefront of the site or they prefer to lurk behind the scenes in the forums.
We do not ask you know all the rules by heart, or even the site by heart, if you're willing to learn, please apply.
Requirements:
1. You must be an active player.
2. You must be at least 16 years of age to apply.
3. You must answer all questions as clearly and honestly as you can.
4. You must have an AIM account or the ability to create one and be on it while on Alacrity.
5. You must be willing to be online 5 days a week with minor exceptions.
6. You must be passionate about Alacrity and it's players.
Application:
1. Why do you want to be a Moderator?
2. Are you willing to put time into this job by keeping up on current site issues, keeping in contact with your fellow staff via Ala messages and AIM, and doing daily work?
3. What time zone are you in? How many days a week do you spend on Alacrity?
4. How much time do you spend on Alacrity a day? What do you do while you're online?
5. What do you think qualifies you to be a mod on Alacrity? It can be either what you do on Ala or what you do in real life or what you do anywhere else.
6. What is your favorite thing on Alacrity?
7. Tell us something about yourself, something you're passionate about in your life.
8. What do you think is the most important rule and why? (There is no wrong answer!)
9. Tell us what ZJ is doing incorrectly with the following chat post:
ZJ's Shiba Sales (#1511) says: Kit retired a dog a sold her. ): Why would someone do that? ): *cries* Everyone hates me here. I should just leave. )))))):
10. Looking at the post for the question above, write up a mock message to ZJ about the rules he broke, and why he broke them, and what he can do to prevent it in the future.
Please make sure to send all applications via message to The Professor's account, #-101. (Remember the negative!) If you have questions, please send them to The Professor's account as well. Applications will close at 11:59pm Ala time on the 10th of January.
We can't wait to hear from you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well, Alacrites, we all survived the supposed end of the world, and are greeting another new year! To celebrate this, the art team has produced a handful of items for you to enjoy! You'll find them added to the Christmas gift giving page. :D
Also, we are waiting to swap out the Monthly Shop and donation items until later on the 1st, due to the fact we're still testing the code on our companions to make sure they're working before we release them. So bear with us a little longer!
Gift giving will stay open until the 3rd, and you can still claim your gifts until the 7th, so make sure you get done with all of that before it's closed down! We hope you all had lots of fun over the holidays! <3
