Game Corner volunteers!
Calling all members! We at ZZ have a proposition for you. On the forum we have the Game Corner which hosts a number of mini-games such as Hi-Lo, Roulette, Selfdestruct 4, and Slots. We staff are spread a bit thin with working on modding, new projects, monthly events, and various other bits. So our proposal is... ... if you want to help out the forum, but don't want to mod replies with the Moderator License, or take on the full responsibilities of staff, you can become...
...a Game Corner Dealer!
This means you'd be licensed to mod the Game Corner and provide a fun outlet for all your fellows while you await a reply to your journey threads. We're not expecting you to do this out for free either. For every game you mod you may claim 12 coins for yourself. We only ask that if you take on this responsibility that you respond to members' game threads as often as you can. This could mean multiple times a day (while you're normally online of course!). The Game Corner is intended to be a fast moving area to help everyone get those Prize Counter goodies! If you're interested, reply below and fill out the following form: [ul][li][b]Why do you want to be a Game Corner volunteer at ZapdosZulu?[/b]
[/li][li][b]Do you understand the rules of the minigames found in the Game Corner?[/b]
[/li][li][b]Have you had any past experience, or taken up a role of responsibility in the past?[/b]
[/li][li][b]Do you play the Game Corner minigames often?[/b]
[/li][/ul] Once you've been given a response from a staff member, a topic will be made for you in the Test sub board where you'll demonstrate your capability in handling 2 rounds of Hi-Lo and Roulette games each. Don't worry, if you don't understand how it works or need any additional coaching, that will be provided. We'd like to keep at least 2 Dealers on at any time so you can cover for each other's game threads, but don't want too many so spots are LIMITED. Thanks for reading, ZZ Staff Team.

- Why do you want to be a Game Corner volunteer at ZapdosZulu?
Cause I want to help out in any way I can and currently the Game Corner is blowing in the wind! I can only gift so many coins a day ;D And it'd be great if current staff members didn't have to worry about this, instead focusing on the IC stuff and site updates.
- Do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the minigames found in the Game Corner to be able to moderate threads?
I do. I have my own Hi-Lo game and have read over the other games a few times. The Gogoat one is new but I'm not afraid to read and learn!
- Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or taken up a role of responsibility in the past?
I have admined every site I have ever been on except this one; which is the point of why I joined it. I am currently running my own forum, am the Code Monkey/Background Voice/Effective Global Mod for an SSB forum, and have a few other smaller ones that I run along with friends. My first site I ran for 8 good years, ZZ started up during that time.
- Have you played the Game Corner minigames often?
I would play more but they are responded to very slowly. Currently only have a Hi-Lo for the coin turn around.

Nice of you to take us up on this offer. Definitely happy to give you at crack a the test. Good job on the app too, was insightful. Thankfully for now the Gogoat races are largely self serving and a member of staff can mop up at the end so not much to need to know on that one other than what you may need for your own personal info. Right, i'm opening up an app here. When you're ready, pop on over. It'll be Hi-Lo to start off with so you may want to refer to the relevant guide and use the code from there. The dice images in the code can be replaced with the number that's rolled. E.g. replace # with 1.

- Why do you want to be a Game Corner volunteer at ZapdosZulu?
I like to help out on sites where I can and here is no different. Pokemon is one of my favourite things to rp and the more i can learn about modding it on a texted based RP site the better i think i will become in the future.
- Do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the minigames found in the Game Corner to be able to moderate threads?
I have got a Hi-Lo thread and that is the only game i have done so far but when it comes to pokemon I always seem to learn quick so i'm not afriad of modding the other ones too. That is what the rules are for afterall, to learn how to play and what to do.
- Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or taken up a role of responsibility in the past?
I have helped freinds of mine on sites before and if needed i will link to some.
- Have you played the Game Corner minigames often?
I would like to but with the guessingly high mod list at the moment and slow relplies i haven't been posting in my Hi-Lo Thread so lighten the load at least a little bit.

Wow, this is filling up quicker than expected. Thanks for your app Blaze. We'd be more than happy to let you have a crack at it too. As above, i've opened up a topic for you as well. Best of luck to you both.

Due to the recent changes in staff, we now have an opening for another game corner dealer. Everything in the initial post applies so if you feel you would like to help out the forum but would prefer a reduced amount of responsibility, this might be for you.
It's also a great way to gain RT fast if you put in the effort as demonstrated by Lamont.

- Why do you want to be a Game Corner volunteer at ZapdosZulu?
I am a huge fan of the mini games and I wanted to take on more responsibility for ages, but I can’t seem to find time for a full on moderating job, but as you said responding on someone’s game post takes no time, and as someone already said above it frees up time for you and the others to do other things.
- Do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the minigames found in the Game Corner to be able to moderate threads?
I know and have played most of them, so yes. And of course I am willing to learn and listen, maybe come up with a few new ones.
- Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or taken up a role of responsibility in the past?
I have been an admin of several Harry Potter boards and a few other, but it has been some years since I last picked up the mantle of staff member on a board like this.
- Have you played the Game Corner minigames often?
Yes, mostly active with Hi-Lo, Selfdestruct 4 which last I checked had some code issues and the new Goat Race.

I love to apply, I did so before but never finished my tests because life got in the way, so I would like another change. However I hope it can wait till next week when summer holidays ends and things go back to normal.

Of course. We can use the same test thread as before and just pick up where you left off; though we may do some extra rounds ^^

If possible I would like to do this again, I might have failed the trainee thing a little but I still wanna help so maybe this can be my in-between, helping but not so...you know...demanding in a way ^-^'

We'd be happy to give you another crack at being a Dealer Blaze ^^
Even though you've done the job before, since there have been some changes going through the Game Corner I've reopened your test thread where we will run through a couple rounds of stuff so you can familiarize yourself with them & get back in the groove of Dealing.
Whenever you're ready feel free to head over!

- Why do you want to be a Game Corner volunteer at ZapdosZulu?
Because I want to help out but I don't have enough time or energy to become a full mod (again)
- Do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the minigames found in the Game Corner to be able to moderate threads?
I have played Hi-lo a lot and have modded it back when I was mod, so I just need to find the place we roll to take it up again.
I haven't used Roulette though nor modded it, and since my brain still doesn't work properly, I'd like to ask for permission to only take Hi-lo for now.
- Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or taken up a role of responsibility in the past?
I'm an old mod here, and are still an admin on another, that is more or less dead
- Have you played the Game Corner minigames often?
I'm taking my turn at Hi-lo whenever it is updated, so yes

Huzzah! We could certainly use more active Game Corner Dealers :3 Before you get bumped up though there is a test to go through, which includes the Roulette so you can get lots of practice beforehand. We'll just do a quick round of Hi-Lo cause I'm sure you've got that one down pat ;D Then move on to Roulette. When you're ready you can start here
