Gamemasters are recruiting!

The GameMasters are back again, we are once more looking for a wave of trial GMs to step up and become the smiling face of the Toribash staff


What do GameMasters do?

The primary function of the GameMaster team is to keep the Toribash community entertained. This is done in a variety of ways, most commonly we host in game events such as GMTourneys, GMVictories and GMHotseats. We also regularly host larger scale forum events, for example The Haunted Gauntlet to keep Toribash fresh and exciting.

What does it take to be a GM?

The most important qualities in a GM, which we will be looking for, are enthusiasm, creativity and activity. We are constantly in need of new types of events and competitions to keep the game dynamic and exciting rather than monotonous. The most creative people, the ones who can consistently provide interesting things to present to the community are the ones we want to have on the team. At the same time a level of maturity and reliability is needed, as GMs do have power, we need to be able to trust the people we recruit.

Why be a GameMaster?

Being a GM is one of the most effective ways of benefiting the community, all of us want to see the Toribash community grow and you can play a part in that process simply by doing your job. In hand with this, it is one of the most fun ways you can help the community and as a GM you can have a great sense of satisfaction seeing your performance having a direct influence on how much other players enjoy the game.
There is also a nifty reward system for GMs who are doing well

How do I apply?

Simple! Send a free form application to Erth.
Include your GMT and any languages you are fluent in.
You may also want to use Dargon's tutorial for applying to a staff position.

You have 2 weeks from the date this is posted to send in your applications, then discussion will take an indefinite period of time after that. We don't have a limit on the amount of gamemasters we're looking for either!



Don't post "I applied" or "Good luck guys!" in this thread. Also esports. We don't want any esports you're selling. Feel free to ask us any questions if you need more information. Good luck chaps!




ppssssssssssttttttttt, we're also always looking for more artists and mod makers to help out! They get access to the reward too!
She/They

Yeah, I only don't like erthtkv2 because of the mod's name. Make it "tkv2," and the mod will instantly become more popular. This is a valid reason as the name of the mod is still an important feature that no one seems to have yet discussed.

So now I just have to wait

Do GM's read additional things for the app or if you sent the app you can't add anything?

sure, we're not so strict that we say the app is it and that's it. We get it.

No, we don't pay for globals, but we also can't profit off of hosting

That will be 2 weeks from the beginning of Erth's original post.


Also, how do you choose the people all together, like do you go into my big group and discuss each app or just pm each other on what apps are good?

This pretty much says it.

and another one
when/if we become GM, do you announce you becoming a GM by a tourney? Or can you just like log on ingame fool around on a server and then realize you became a trial. and THEN have a tourney?

Yes but we teach you how to host anyway.

When you become a gm you get a pm from me, there will be an announcement in this thread, and can then host supervised tourneys.

There is a system for how many prizes can and should be given depending on some factors which you will discover and learn about if and when you get the job.

Not sure if you're asking when will you become a trial or how long does the trial period last.
You become a trial once we announce who we want, and the minimum trial length is 2 weeks, but it's primarily decided by how ready you feel you are to take the test.
