IMMEDIATE RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Developing and maintaining lore for New Desperation Isle. To some extent, the island itself tells a story, but we hope to formalize it in an official backstory that sets the tone for the RP.
- Conducting occasional organized RP events. Ever since I established the original Desperation Isle in 2006 I have gotten requests from visitors to hold events that immersed guests in a meaningful storyline. We are also interested in less serious events, like contests, just for fun.
- Assisting and instructing new visitors. A lot of our guests are new to Second Life and new to RP, and would benefit from informal tours and instructions on how to use things such as teleporters and posed furniture.
- Keeping the peace. We are lucky enough to have a generally mature fan base, and griefers/disruptive guests are rare. The event coordinator will be granted Deputy status, with the ability to freeze, eject, and ban unwanted visitors.
FUTURE RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Helping plan the new island. My partner and I are already coming up with ideas, but we will be open to suggestions that will help shape the sim's identity and suit it for meaningful roleplay.
- Coordinating events on the new island. It is hoped that whoever gets the ball rolling on New Desperation Isle will be able to carry out these duties on the new island as well.
REQUIREMENTS/QUALIFICATIONS:
- Must be familiar with existing adult SL roleplay communities. The ideal candidate will have experience in some of the better-known roleplay sims, as a basis for how things work and what people are likely to expect. Previous exerience in live-action roleplay (LARP) or text-based RP (MUD, messengers, RP forums) is a big plus.
- Must be online during our peak hours. As our core audience is largely European, our busiest hours are between 12pm-3pm PST (whereas my partner and I don't come on until 10pm). We do not expect you to be on our islands every day during those hours, but you must be generally available and spend a reasonable amount of time there helping our guests and conducting events. You must also be able to meet me and my partner occasionally for planning sessions. We are in-world every night from 10pm-12am PST, and I am online in the mornings on Saturday and Sunday.
- Must be literate and relatively fluent in English. While we won't necessarily hold your spelling against you, you must be able to communicate clearly (remember, most of our guests are European) and intelligently.
- Must be open to adult-themed, erotic roleplay. New Desperation Isle is an erotic playground. While we're still not sure whether the new place will have any overt sexual content or theme, you must be able to respectfully interact with people who move in these circles.
- Building skills are desirable, but not required.
To arrange an interview, please contact me in-world or via private message at SLUniverse, Second Survivor, or the official SL forums. To learn more about New Desperation Isle, visit: http://desperationisle.com/
P.S. This is not related to the RP that I have advertised in my classifieds or on the blog. Kelly and I are handling that one.
