: + : THE MANAGER APPLICATION : + :Terms Of Use:
This application was written by Ma Dai for The Complex (in the possession of Angel Feathers), and for Camp Bournedale (in the possession of Kib). It is only to be used with these dreams with the previously mentioned Owners. In the event they are to switch hands, this application must be removed and not rewritten, edited, referenced, or otherwise touched unless you receive permission. This application is NOT to be referenced, edited, or otherwise tampered with without explicit permission from Ma Dai. In the event you cannot contact Ma Dai for permission, the application(s) in question are to be removed. The update log is to be kept up to date via the history log at the bottom, no matter how small the change(s) are. Exploiting any loophole(s) in these term(s) is not permitted. These credit(s) and term(s) must remain at the top of the application; no exceptions. I reserve the right to request this be removed, for any reason - especially if the terms are not upheld. : + : Manager Requirements & Application Rules : + : - Spoiler:
- There may not be more than one manager per every 5 staff members. Please know this is to ensure that not every member on our staff team becomes a Manager, to ensure there's more or less a fair balance and the weight of the Manager position is shared evenly. For example, if we've got 15 staff, there will be 3 managers maximum. If the number rises to 18, we'll still have 3 - but, 20 will mean we're looking for another manager.
- Please post your application in the Application section, titled "XYZs' Manager Application." For example, we'll say Angel Feathers wishes to apply for the position of Manager. Her application would then be titled Angel Feathers' Manager Application.
- Under no circumstances are you to reference, or otherwise cheat off of someone's application - their answers are their own, and yours should be, too. They worked hard on theirs, and you shouldn't attempt to steal it - you wouldn't like it if you spent two hours on yours and someone stole it, would you?
- Applications belong in the Staff Applications Forum. You may find it by clicking your "back" button. Simply hit the New Topic button, located on the top left of the webpage.
- Your application is not permitted to be edited in any way, shape, or form without explicit permission from Owner(s) and/or Co-Owner(s). Please post log(s) of the permission given at the bottom, including exactly what was edited.
- You may not respond to your application, nor to another’s' Manager Application. We will be requesting that General Staff Members who have held their position uninterrupted for at least a month (and higher ranks, of course), respond with DETAILED information as to why they believe the applicant should, or should not be a manager. These people will be promoted to a rank above you, and it's important we know there's no underlying problems. They're the people you'll be looking up to when something goes wrong, so we need to know! However, a simple "rec" and "no rec" will not be accepted - you must provide detailed reasoning(s).
- You must use the coding provided at the bottom - and please do not alter it. If filled out correctly, it should be fairly easy to read and won't be in need of any edit(s) to the base coding. Please ensure you run your application through a service that deals with spelling and grammar checks - nobody wants to read hi how r u?
- One-liners are likely not going to be accepted, especially when it comes to the scenarios - if there's two question marks, it's asking two separate questions. There should be at least two - three sentences for each. Please use your head, and don't cheap out with one-word responses unless you're asked for "yes", "no", or your Furcadian name.
- Every question is required, unless otherwise stated. Choosing to not answer optional questions WILL reflect your application in a negative manner.
- Please ensure that you're posting your answer in the area where the explanation of the question is located. Do NOT post your answer on the same line as the question. Also, please make sure to remove the part in italics, and replace it with your answer.
- If a question is two or more parts, please make sure you answer ALL parts of the questions - you may be automatically declined if a portion of a question is ignored, as it will count as missing a question.
- ANY missing information, or incorrectly answered information, will result in your application being automatically declined.
- You may only apply for this position once every three months when we're accepting, and no more than a total of three times.
- You must hold the Manager position for at least five (5) months, with no interruption, before being considered for a higher promotion.
To apply for the position of manager; - Quote :
- You must hold the title of General Staff Member for an entirely uninterrupted period of three (3) months. This means you haven't been fired or banned, you haven't quit, and you haven't been demoted - and you've been active for those three months.
- For at least two (2) months of the three (3) month period, you haven't had a single blemish on your record. This means, but is not limited to, absolutely no being involved in fights or dramatics - unless you're a peaceful third party who hasn't contributed to the flames in any way/shape/form, no warnings or complaints against you, you haven't been ejected or lost your share.
- You MUST have filled out the Staff Application, since you were last hired. Otherwise, please add two (2) months onto any mentioned times, to ensure fairness to those who did fill out the application. Going back to fill out the application, then coming to fill this one is cheating, and that's a no-no.
- You must be willing to train new staff members, and no short temper(s). It is likely people will approach you with problems, and you are asked to be able to solve them to the absolute best of your ability without bias. If there's anyone we need to have a clear head, it's you!
- To keep thing(s) fair, it is requested all manager(s) - current and future, fill out this application to continue their current position / be promoted to Manager. Even if you later quit, are fired, or something else happens - you must work up to your previous status from Trial or General staff.

This is optional. As above, please insert "I prefer not to answer" should you choose to not answer this question.
Who was the original dream created by?
Please insert your answer here.
~ ~ Section Three : Scenarios ~ ~
1) The dream contains twelve (12) active staff members situated around the large desk, and four active patron(s). Additionally, there are six inactive staff members seated on the red seats and on the pale floors surrounding them - though, one of the AFK members has kindly positioned themselves on the patron side of the desk for 45 minutes to prevent clutter behind the desk. Other than this, the dream is completely dead and there's little to no activity around and slowly, everyone seems to be AFKing or complaining of boredom before leaving the dream. How would you react to this situation?
Please insert your answer here. For this portion, you are a manager (or higher).
1-A ) Using the above scenario, please re-consider your answer(s) with yourself as a newly appointed General Staff Member. However, there's a General Staff that has been there for ten months and argues with each and every thing you have attempted to do in your previous answer. Would you change the way you react? If so, how?:
This is optional. Please put "I prefer not to answer" if you choose not to. Bonus points to whoever dramatizes the conflicting General Staff Member's actions, and gives details as to exactly what they're doing. Please keep in mind this is probably the largest trick question on this application; so mind your wording and be cautious if you answer! It may be make or break.
1-B ) Using the previously mentioned scenario, now consider yourself an entirely different general staff member. There's person X (yourself as either the 'manager' or the 'first general staff member' from your previous answers. Person Y (the 10-month general staff member that was arguing), and person Z (yourself for this answer. A third-party, also a General Staff Member, who is witness to your answers above. Pretend you're an entirely different person, witnessing this situation. How would you react? Would you react? Keep in mind, person Y has been here longer than you have. They've been working for us for ten months, and you've only been working for 6. )
This is optional. Please put "I prefer not to answer" if you choose not to.
2) In your own words, please create a scenario that someone - preferably yourself - would find a ton of stress, and pressure on themselves as a staff member. Please ensure there's at least three entirely separate conflicts in your scenario, and make it as fast-paced as possible; we want the adrenaline flowing in your system. Bonus points for 3 different common stressors that are likely to bother most people. An example that you may not use is name-calling such as "bitch", "twatfuck", etc. Please be original.
This is optional. Please put "I prefer not to answer" if you choose not to.
