NPC-Vacancy

From STNE Wiki

• Greetings Players!*

We're proud to announce that the we are doing something incredibly new and probably crazy.... We are going to open up THREE NPC spots at once....that is right THREE!

Here is the deal. Players can only apply for ONE NPC position of your choice to submit your application on. Make it the one NPC position you most want as we want players really dedicated to being the NPC they choose, not just applying because it's open. There will be Absolutely NO switching your application to the other accounts if you don't make it in the one you apply for first.

Here are your choices:

Klingons Under Proxy NPC Romulans Under Proxy NPC Dominion NPC

Yes that is right the Dominion account will become an active NPC this time around. A New Overseer account number will be posted soon for all complaints regarding NPC actions. Until the interviews are complete and the position is filled, the Dominion account will still function as the Overseer account.

ALL Applications will be taken during the same open and close times...please mark the NPC position you are going for in the TITLE of the message

As part of the application process you MUST follow the instructions for the applications or your application could be automatically rejected.

The Application Process will OPEN at 0:00 Server time on June 9th, 2011 The Application Process will CLOSE on 0:00 Sever time June 24th, 2011 .

Your Application MUST be submitted between the OPEN and CLOSE Dates.

Applications submitted early or late will be automatically rejected.

Interviews will be conducted in the order listed. It typically takes about 1-1/2 weeks to get through interviews for each position. Dominion will be last interviewed and may not be in place until Mid July, just keep that in mind that it might take some time to set up your interview.

Here are the updated requirements to apply for NPC:

1. General information:

You'll see every NPC position which is open for applications in this thread.

- You will need to send your application to all NPC on EN-1, not the game masters or support team. - The NPC team IGM numbers are 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and 11

2. Information regarding NPC positions

As NPC your task will be: - To complete active RP with the settlers, this includes SCN's, SSCN, Chat and various Channels in SCN and of course conduct in game action. - Be a contact for the settlers for in game information on how to play or perform certain functions. - Maintain your account including logs and IGM.

How you play your account is up to you. Of course there are some guidelines for the NPC accounts, because we want to stay within the Star Trek framework. The rules you will need to follow are the STNE general game Rules and of course the NPC-Codex which you will learn if you are accepted into the position.

3. Your profile:

We want someone: - 18 years of age (exceptions are possible) - Experienced in Space Trek: The New Empire. - Has regular activity of RP in STNE (SCN and/or SSCN or own channels) - With a proper character and the ability to be an active member of a large team. - With a good reputation (this includes your conduct in Game CHAT). - With good English skills in written word. - With a good understanding of Star Trek canon and how it can be applied or expanded within each NPC alliance. - Who can be a long term NPC, so ONLY apply if you have enough time to do the work. - With excellent communications skills on the Forums, Team Speak, IRC and/or ICQ - With a well written, expressive, application.

NOTE: The use of IRC for NPC meetings and RP discussions will be a requirement. TeamSpeak is an option for quick discussions (A microphone is not required to use TS).

4. The Formal Application

The applications needs to be written and without any RP in the main body of the application.

You can include as a secondary attachment 3 to 5 short examples of the first few RPs you would start.

Contents of an application: 1. - Name: (Real name) 2. - Age: (Real age some exceptions may be made for excellent players under 18 -) 3. - General Location/Time Zone: (for Game Time and NPC meeting/interview schedules) 4. - Current Occupation: (Generally, are you a Student, Engineer, Police Officer? etc - not your exact Employer) 5. - Number of hours per day you can dedicate to the NPC account: 6. - Why do you want to become an NPC? 7. - What do you think the role of the NPC is in regards to the interactions with the Players? 8. - How would you encapsulate the spirit of the race you are applying for? (i.e. What are the Romuans really like, and who are the "Founders" and what houses make up the Klingon Fleets?) 9. - So how would you play your Alliance? (It is acceptable to list your major characters, who and what they will do - try to stay to ST canon as much as possible). 10. - Think about and describe to us some role play ideas you want to start with players and how you would start them.

Note: - Don't write something like "I want to be NPC to fly with the big ships and shoot stuff. Your private information will be maintained in a NPC Forum that is not accessible to the general players. Your real name will not be shared with them. The NPC Team agrees to keep all confidential information confidential at all times in game. That is a requirement of the position.

5. Hints

- What we seek are people with creative ability, fresh ideas and nice RP's. - You don't need to write a book about your RP proposals but a short list of your ideas and a few examples are acceptable. - You might wish to describe how you would build on the current work (if any) of the previous NPC holder. - Most important is who you are, how do you want to play your NPC and how you plan to interact with the Players and other NPCs. - Good English skills, preferably native English is very important. - We need to feel that you are the right person for this job and will work with our team.

6. What do you get?

Teamwork is paramount to the success of the NPCs. We can offer an excellent team of people to work with, who will support you and help you develop your ideas. You will learn the finer points of the game mechanics. You will improve your writing skills and use of HTML graphics in game. Of course you will get the chance to fly hundreds of big ships and to be part of the history of Space Trek: The New Empire and the galaxy. Unfortunately, you will not get any payment for all the hours and a lot of hard work you put into this. You will get a lot of complaints, hate mail, threats against you to have you removed from the position, and general foul-mouth swearing at you for anything you attempt to do. If you find that fun and enjoyable or at least something you can deal with on a daily bases and not loose your objectivity, then you just might be the right one for the job.

We're look forward to receiving your applications. GOOD LUCK!

Kind regards, The EN-1 NPC Team
