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.
If you haven't got many posts, does good app help with this?

A GM specializes in-game not forums so I don't think posts really make or break it but it does help a bit.

You need to PM to Erth and you need to add way more than that.
look at Dargons application tutorial on the post.

Well here goes my second attempt at becoming a GM, wish me luck and I'll wish you all luck right back. Can't wait to see the Trials that come out of this and the new aspects they'll bring to Toribash.

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

Quick question. I assume when you say "we also can't profit off of hosting" you just mean the GM Tourneys and not that a GM can't do something like host a bet server and get money from having house.

You can't get any profit from the GM events. You are not supposed to keep the money from entry fees (if there are any), rakes, or whatever, with you.

If you want to host your own bet server - that is, something not involved with the team -, you can get profit from the rake, it's fine. But, if you are doing GM Bets (for the team, obviously), I'm p sure all rake you get must be added to the decap prize.

That was really bad sorry.
Someone tell me why this guy is highly respected by some people ???
Ah, thanks Powas and Retro. I don't really expect to make it. App was small, and there's a lot of competition. Oh well, at least I finally did it.

May try again later on in life.

I figured that was the case, just wanted to make sure ahead of time before I ended up digging myself into a hole. Thanks for the help though, its greatly appreciated.

question at the 2 week mark will you have all your decisions made or will it be another week or so after before we find out?

Another question, I was told in the past that applications after being sent in just sit there for a while until you're chosen, but if we had an old application up there (about 5 or 6 months old) will this new application replace our old one? or will they both be up there for reference? Just asking this since I'm not sure which application I like more.
