[hider=Who are we?]

RPGC staff changes [i]constantly[/i]. Each new contest is brought to you by fresh minds with unique ideas -- yours too, if you're into it. 

[i]Current Staff:[/i]

mdk
Gwazi Magnum

[i]Founding Staff:[/i]

These are the people who came together to lay out all the nitty-gritty details of RPGC. They made the first contest, too -- neat, right? They are:

Lady Squee
slade
Drakel
AkiBlue
Jorick
mdk
Gwazi Magnum

[i]Previous Contest Staff[/i]

None of this would probably be happening if not for the efforts of the WOTM staff, of old-guild and new. They are:

Brovo
Jorick
Kaga[/hider]

[b]What do the RPGC staff do?[/b]

A few of us handle administrative junk to make ourselves feel important. For most people, joining RPGC for a contest means you'll take on the following tasks:

1. Work with the team to come up with contest ideas.
2. Help create the 'Contest Thread,' including any special rules, themes, or twists the team wants to see.
3. Read [i]everything[/i] that comes in, and decide on that month's 'Staff Picks.'
4. Write something of your own, I hope! It's not strictly mandatory, but it is your contest, after all!
5. When it's time to vote, make sure everybody's getting enough feedback to be helpful, and participate in the conversation.
6. When it's done, let us know if there's anything we can do to help make the process run smoother in the future.

There's no strings attached -- you're in for as long as you like, and if you need a break, you can always come back later. It's teamwork, all the way through -- and a few deadlines that might need you to show some initiative. But overall, we want your time on RPGC staff to be as much fun as the contest itself. The administrator-types will help sort out any manpower issues, and we'll pitch in as necessary to make sure we're done on time -- but really, you literally make the contest happen, down to the last detail. 

[b]How do I join?[/b]

I thought you'd never ask. Simply leave a post in this thread here, saying you're interested. The first contest thread is pre-packaged and [i]almost[/i] ready to go, courtesy of the Founding Staff -- but we'll need a few fresh minds to handle the last parts of the process (mostly formatting, then reading, critiquing, and voting). This is also the perfect time to get started on RPGC #2, the second contest, which should hit the forum in March. If you'd like to pitch in on either effort (or both), leave a reply here. All the behind-the-scenes stuff is done through PM threads, with the whole staff included in the conversation. Once we've got a crew for each contest, I'll get the process started in your inbox. We're limited to ten participants in each private thread -- but if we fill up one contest crew, we can start loading the next one, so there's always more room.
