We are opening up staff applications for those interested in a staff position. You can choose to apply for a counselor (in-game) position, a development position, or both.

Please note that the application form has changed from previous rounds, you cannot simply re-enter with those.

The opportunity to enter an application will remain open indefinitely. We will occasionally review new applications, and invite candidates for a follow-up interview. This process may take a while, don't be discouraged and please be patient.

The application form follows below. The answers should be sent in a private conversation to me (link) titled "Staff Application".
