How can we verify point 1? I don't believe I have any, but I can't be sure.
You can mail [email protected] and ask them how many forum warnings you have, don't forget to include your character name when you do
Well, after checking with the mods I have no forum warnings and after checking with the GMs I have no in game warnings. -- Lil Miner |

Edited by: between4and24 on 23/03/2006 22:56:44 Hi there, I thought I might point out (in response to Libertina) that the ISD application introduction reads this: (I think quotes are tools of forum war, so I don't like to use)
Due to the very social nature of Eve, volunteers play an important role in the day-to-day activities of the game. There are several branches of the program: player support, forum moderators, bug hunters and event staff (read more about them here). Training is provided, so no previous experience is necessary, just a basic knowledge of the Eve universe and a desire to contribute to the betterment of the community.
And what you have said is this: Closing notes for a sucessful STAR invite:
1. absolute lack of warnings, both on forum and ingame 2. an application which shows who you are and why you think you are worth of it ("I like to help" will never cut it) 3. a very decent knowledge of the game, measured by 3-6 months of game participation by your appling player
Would you consider updating Step 1 by chance? This may be confusing to some players.
I also am unable to find where it implies that three months of game experience is required. This might help you with excess applications that don't meet these requirements your are searching for and reduce confusion and clutter for both the applicants, and team recruiters.

You're confusing two parts of ISD. The STAR division is the in game support, the Teal members that help in the Rookie and Help channel. They work for Libertina and her post with those restrictions is only for those applying for STAR.
Nebulai, and this thread for the most part, is recruiting for Aurora the roleplaying and event division of ISD. They have more lax requirements for applying. Libertina was just making sure that those that do apply for ISD:STAR (like myself ) were aware of the requirements for that division as well as for AURORA.
So if you're interested only in events, ignore Libertina's post. -- Lil Miner |

Hi Kylania,
I understand what you are saying but the way Step 1 is written out implies that all branches are:
No previous experience is necessary, just a basic knowledge of the Eve universe and a desire to contribute to the betterment of the community.
it follows this sentence: There are several branches of the program: player support, forum moderators, bug hunters and event staff.
I do undestand that bug hunter's can't apply and are hand picked from the test server but for the rest of the applicants that take the time to go over everything outlined in Step 1; it would seem as though the only requirement is that you are willing to volunteer your time and have a basic knowledge of EVE.
Some information has been released from team leaders from the various departments of ISD about their own specific desired qualities in posts on the forums in conjunction to this and it would be really nice if this was also added to the application process so applicants know what their qualifications are.
It is very nice that some of them have come forward and given us this additional information about their own specific preferences but since these unwritten requirements aren't listed in the application process, a vast majority of applicants never come across this valuble information. (more importantly the three month rule, since the majority of applications are probably for STAR)

Oh, never fear! There are other unwritten rules as well. I ran into one the first time I applied. You're not allowed to be a member of another volunteer program. At the time, months ago, I was still a member of the Guide program for EQ2, similar to ISD:STAR here, so was turned down for that reason. I've since retired from my position with that program and reapplied here with ISD, but haven't heard anything yet. But that was another unwritten rule I ran across.
Either way, good luck to both of us and all the new "appies". -- Lil Miner |

Unwritten ( an many times untold) rules are just utter crap. If you want to present yourself as a sort of informationdesk, the first information regarding your service should be the requirements in full for aplying. That is when your looking for people.
How the heck are people else supposed to know any rules.
These "unwritten" rules make me even more weary about my application and slowly but surely I am starting to actually feel relieved they lost my application somewhere in the huge mill.

Some body said it before they should better there recruitment methode and explaining it better. But hey we are only gamers what do we know of those things?
I think it never come to mind they should never underestimate the peoples they interact with. And btw for myself i know, have to deal with customers monday to friday.

The thing I don't get is that ISD can look up an application to see if it's been accepted or not. And the isd.asp application page pre-fills with your application from the server side. So why couldn't they just add a new field on there called "Status" have it say, Submitted, Accepted, Rejected or something? That way you'd be able to go there and instantly see the status of your application and ISD would have to do absolutely no extra work, since it would merely pull from the same data that's already present.
Just a suggestion to help applicants have a better idea of where they stand instead of having to continually re-apply to let ISD know they are still interested. -- Lil Miner |

Yeah, but from another standpoint, if they openly stated that you cannot be a volunteer/employee/whatever for another MMOG if you want a position inside EVE, you could just lie and say you don't work for another game, even when you do, because there's no way CCP could verify this. On the other hand, if you do not state this rule, people are more likely to answer truthfully as they do not know the consequences of their answer if they do work for another MMOG. --- High quality pics of most EVE ships!

I am a roleplayer for more then 20 years, I have been doing tabletops, LARP's and even had my own NWN server for roleplayers. I played and I NPCed lots. Don't you think I am able to dish out any story I want and make it look believable? Heck I have even been asked to join a political party just because I know how to make roses sound blue and the air green.
If they look for real experienced RPers then they will have to face the fact that the real experienced ones can make them believe anything they want to. Including the fact that any other MMORPG position doesn't interfere with their work in EVE.

From the STAR side of things, they just introduced a new group of baby ISD last week. So, I'm not sure if that means if you submitted weeks/months ago you're outright turned down, or if you're still good for the next round, or perhaps you're supposed to refresh your app to show you're still interested. *shrug*
Haven't heard anything from Aurora, but they sure have been busy from the sound of things. -- Lil Miner |

LOL I just submitted my application and got
Quote:
We're sorry, Something happened to our Planck Bubble Stabilizer!
500 - Internal Error The server was unable to process your request.
Support personel has been notified, no further action is needed.
You guys should replace it with a better stabilizer if you don't want to get gate ganked. ----------------------------------------------- Why do I post here?

Edited by: Spathi on 31/03/2006 05:50:39 Hmm under eve terminology, a "Planck" item is something that compresses and stores an object. They use it on cans mostly.
Therefore I would say the Planck Bubble is a storage system of some kind and the stabilizer keeps it running well. So a Planck Bubble Stabilizer error means the storage system is b0rked. Therefore I conclude their database is full/broken. Can you say over analyzed?
I guess the 1000 item per "location" feature in the last patch caught them out.
I guess with CRC opening their recruitment the form is getting flooded and filled. Although I dunno why the db would be limited enough to prevent more being added unless the server its on has run out of diskspace (unlikely). I guess someone broke the script unless it has been stored and the "thank you" page is broken.
