Seeking New Staff Members - Backup Deckmakers & Mods
Hello players, we're looking for new staff members to join our team.
Currently, a lot of our mods are on hiatus, and the mods who are currently active are already handling up to 3~4 games per person (a great big thank you to all our very hardworking mods ♥), so there's a severe shortage of mods for the duties and games we have here. I apologize that the game has not run as smoothly as it should due to the lack of staff, and I hope that after new mods have been recruited, things will return to normal.
Backup Deckmakers
I would like to hire people to help with deckmaking for this game. School has been absolutely brutal and is demanding all the time I have between now till end-April, possibly early-May. Thus I'm seeking backup deckmakers who are able to help out with decks between now and early-May. If you have great graphics skills, would like to help Credits out, but you're not certain if you can commit in the long run, please consider applying to become a backup deckmaker! After May, you can decide whether you want to leave, stay on as a full-time deckmaker or if you'd like to be on call instead (ie, I'll let you know when we need help handling decks).
There's no fixed deadline for the application, but I really need help with this month's decks, so the earlier the better!
Simply refer to this deckmaker recruitment post [[fixed the link]] for details and the application process. Thank you!
Games/Service Mods
The following games need a permanent mod:
Depending on how many applications we get, I hope to add at least 1 permanent service mod to the team.
Taking into account the size and activity level of the TCG, we've decided to allow mods to put games on hold - right now we have 20+ games, and about 12~15 active players at any one time, plus the high number of games is putting a lot of stress on the staff team. Adding more and more mods isn't a proper solution either, so I've decided that if mods have to, they can have the choice to cut back on the number of games. Don't worry though, we'll ensure a minimum of 16 games at any one time and mods have the choice of rotating their game roster so you'll still get to play your favourite games.
Anyway, what all that means is basically that my priority is to find a service mod and I'm less concerned about games. Though if you can pick up a game on top of a service, that would be stellar!
Do you have what it takes?

Applications for games/service mods will close on 09 May! All current mods will be involved in deciding who to pick so do be prepared to wait a while. If you've been picked, you'll be notified via LJ PM. Regretfully, we will not be contacting applicants who do not get selected. All the best!
Last but not least, Credits and I are going to need all the help we can get. Thank you so, so much for your application. Every little bit of help counts.

Games/Service Mods
- Earn a Character Single - This is a pretty complex service, you'll need Photoshop, good graphics skills, AND HTML knowledge to work with the charasingles.php page on the site. You'll also have to check player logs to ensure they've completed their tasks, give out album sheets, stickers and character singles. This is a pretty busy service. Alternatively, we can split up the work so that I can take care of the Photoshopping and site updates, and you take care of the log checking and player comments. Whichever works best for you.
- Backup Mods - I'd like more hands to help out with covering for games and services when a mod applies for hiatus.
The following games need a permanent mod:
- CDefects - This is a biweekly game where five changes are made to the image and players have to spot the changes. You'll need Photoshop experience for this game.
- Oz's Odd One Out - This is a biweekly game where you have to post 4 characters and get people to guess which character and have people guess which one is the odd one out. It doesn't have to be an audio-related reason, it can be anything at all.
- Who's That Seiyuu - This is a weekly game where you post an image of a character/a sound clip etc and have players guess who the seiyuu is.
Depending on how many applications we get, I hope to add at least 1 permanent service mod to the team.

Do you have what it takes?
I'm looking for the following in potential staff members:
- Good communication!!!; I can't stress this enough, please tell us if you're going to be away for a long time! We understand that real life happens and we would very much prefer if you were upfront about it. Don't vanish for weeks and then make me contact you! ):
- You're on all the time? Well, so are most of us. Can you commit to this game in the long run?
- Free time, I need you to be around to pass out rewards on time [if you handle a service eventually, I expect player comments to be replied to within 4 days]
- I would like it very much if you could join in sharing your opinions about issues concerning the TCG and planning for events! The more opinions I receive from the mods, the better.
- Friendliness and approachability
- Experience with graphics is preferred but not necessary!
- Lastly, you need to be able to work with me. I'm terrible to work with when I'm stressed [you can ask my poor co-owner lmao] - I hope it'll never come to that, but I think it's good for you to know what to expect.
