[CLOSED] Hiring: Game Mods
Posted: Mon May 01, 2023 3:29 pm
If you're interested in helping out with games, whether it be making rounds for the site games or modding the forum games (or maybe both?), then read through the information below and fill out the application form!
Once the thread is marked as [CLOSED] then we will look through the posts and contact those who we'd like to hire through FORUM PM (so please be sure to check yours if you applied). When we've confirmed the new staff, we will make an announcement to let everyone know!
EXPECTATIONS ✨
If you don't think you can meet these expectations, please re-consider applying! We try not to ask too much of staff and try to do what we can to make modding things as easy as possible but there's still a minimum/standard we ask staff to meet, to ensure things are run smoothly.
IMPORTANT NOTES ✨

EXPECTATIONS ✨
If you don't think you can meet these expectations, please re-consider applying! We try not to ask too much of staff and try to do what we can to make modding things as easy as possible but there's still a minimum/standard we ask staff to meet, to ensure things are run smoothly.
- For Site Game Mods, you must make at least 10 rounds per password-gate game in your assigned set EACH MONTH! You can, however, definitely make more than 10 in the same month so you can take a little break in the following month(s) as long as you make enough in advance.
- For Forum Game Mods, you must be able to reply to players at least 1-2 times per week or more which includes monitoring plays (and letting anyone know if they make a mistake) and passing out rewards, either throughout the round or at the end depending on the game! If a game doesn't require constant activity from you throughout the round then we would still like you to check up on the game every so often to ensure rules are being followed and such.
- All staff must communicate with the admins! We NEED to know when staff are going to be busy and unable to attend to their duties/games so we can arrange for temporary replacements and/or additional help in general, or look for permanent replacements altogether if someone needs to step down for whatever reason. Even a quick message to give us a heads up is fine if something happens last minute or is unplanned! We won't be upset, we just like to be informed so we can make sure things are looked after so others are not left waiting for too long.
- We have a private channel on our Discord server for announcements, general help, and contact purposes so we'd prefer if all staff have an account and are a member if they aren't already!
IMPORTANT NOTES ✨
- All staff can still participate in/play their own games, on top of receiving pay for their work.
- For Site Game Mods in particular, we'd prefer someone with a wide knowledge of various series and media (related to the TCG's theme of course) or at least knows how to find information/resources needed for different series, to ensure there's variety in our game rounds!
- We provide a spreadsheet that you would fill in with the rounds you make (including the hint/question + answer) so a Google account is needed to be given editing access!
- For Forum Game Mods, extensive knowledge is not required as most games don't require it. However in return, forum games usually require more consistent activity from staff to moderate and monitor plays to make sure rules are being followed and such! Passing out rewards also takes a significant chunk of time to do, even more so if a game/round is particularly active.
- We provide templates to copy and paste so staff just need to replace what is needed for new rounds!
- We welcome suggestions and feedback from staff to help improve the game(s) they mod! If there's anything we can do to help or make things easier, or you have new ideas, please feel free to let us know!!
STAFF PAY ✨
- Will vary depending on the game and its expected activity level, so it can be modified over time as game activity changes.
- Only given if you actually moderated your game or made rounds! If you were inactive for certain rounds or didn't help at all, you won't receive pay for those rounds.
- Pay can be applied for when the minimum amount of game rounds required are made, or when a game round is finished. It can then be picked up from your rewards page once we verify the amount of work completed!
- Additional information and the exact pay (as it's still TBD) will be announced/explained once hired!
