Real Name  Email Address  Country  Which character(s) do you have and in which Kingdom(s) do you play? When are your best times to post? Do you access the internet from home, work, school, or other source? What is the difference between first, second, and third person perspective writing? WRITING SAMPLE: Assume that you are in any moderating position in Telgard and provide a writing sample such as a "pretend" reply to a players post, a description of an NPC's actions, or a location where a player can post. As much as you can, please demonstrate your knowledge of the rules of the game in your writing sample. Please do not use your own character as an example. PLOT SAMPLE: Again, assume that you are in any position or any place in Telgard: Provide an example of a plot you would create demonstrating your knowledge of the game. You may do so in OOC or IC format. MODERATING SAMPLE: Here we provide you with three example character posts, and each example is as if a player wrote it. Each is a 'problem' post in one way or another; for instance, it may break the rules, or it may be a common issue that moderators deal with every day. You may choose any of the three posts, and then you must respond to it as if you were a moderator. Keep in mind that your response must demonstrate knowledge of the rules of posting. This is to test your skill at moderating and your knowledge of the world of Telgard. After your response, you should explain your answer. EXAMPLE 1: "Sammy enters the city and surveys the town. He sees an abandoned castle and moves towards it purposefully. Finding no danger, Sammy decides to claim the castle as his own and become the Lord of the area." [Note: This is the characters' first post]  EXAMPLE 2: "Theravidea walks into the tavern, attempting to catch the barmaid's eye to indicate she wanted to order something right away. Looking for an empty seat, she nodded to her companions (if any) and waited for the barkeep to notice her. While she was waiting, she idly juggled three balls of magic light as a way to pass the time." EXAMPLE 3: "Minto smashed his fist through the table and intimidated the barkeep into giving him a free ale." (Optional) What is your occupation and/or position?
