Crew Descriptions:
General crew rules:
exclaim Crew may send out as many official invitations as they like, but they will not count towards the recruiting game unless I see your username in the reason for requesting to join.

exclaim Crew may only accept join requests that do not say that they were reffered by a member. Anyone found breaking these rules faces demotion and a warning for guild membership.

If you have any questions about anything related to crew members, please feel free to ask them here.

Don't feel stupid about asking questions. Odds are, someone else has your same question but is too scared to ask it at the risk of appearing dim.

If needed, I will edit prior posts to be more clear.

What's the purpose of the Teacher in the Critique Department, Ms. Luna? [Is interested] confused

The critiquing teacher teaches you what to look for when reading a piece and how to format what you want to say to the writer so that they get the greatest possible benefit from it.

I must say, the administration in this guild is remarkably elaborate. I'm very impressed and, consequently, thrilled to have become a member here. I'd consider applying for the position of grammar instructor, but I doubt my schedule would allow for the weekly formulation of lessons, however brief.

smile Thank you for taking notice.

I expect this guild to get very big very fast and I want to do all I can to make it the best it can be. I originaly made this guild solely for the purpose of providing an alternative to the flamming uselessness of the writer's subforums on gaia, but then I realised that I could do so much more so easily to help the members of this guild.

About the grammer instructor's position, I understand not having the time or orginization to formulate lessons, but if you knew of anyone else who could take on the lessons, or take on any other position of the guild, I would greatly appreciate you reccomending them to help.

Could I apply for the position and, if I find that I'm unfit do maintain it, resign from it? The more I think about it, the more it seems like a good idea. I am, after all, studying to become a professor. I may as well begin learning how to construct a curriculum.

This would be an excellent place to start if you were looking to do this professionally.

If you find the occupation too much, yes, you could resign.
Be sure to read all the first few posts here, understand the rules, regulations and responsibilities, then you can apply.

I have two questions(:

Question #1: So is there only one spot available for each Crew Position?

Question #2:
Can new members to the guild apply?
