The Grey Council needs you!

[BJ]

As previously mentioned (http://www.wolflair.com/blog/2016/12/20/realm-works-news-the-grey-council/) we are putting together a group of trusted individuals to review content for the Community Content Market that will be available in our Realm Works store.

We are currently in need of five workers to get started reviewing submissions as soon as possible.

Are you detailed orientated with several free hours each week? Do you care about the quality of the content available in Realm Works and have a good familiarity with the program? Do you enjoy free perks and the knowledge that you are preforming a valuable public service? Then we need you to stand between the darkness and the light!

If you would like to apply, please send your name and forum name along with a brief summary of why you would be a good fit for this position, as well as the number of hours per week you could realistically apply toward the project to bj@wolflair.com. Please title all communications THE GREY COUNCIL - YOUR NAME HERE. Please replace YOUR NAME HERE with your actual name. Failure to do so will result in your email being unread.

Lol... yup I understand the necessity for this bit.

[MNBlockHead]

If we plan on submitting our own content, would there be a conflict of interest being on the GC? I'm assuming now, as another GC member would review our submissions. But thought I'd ask to be certain.

[kbs666]

I would assume people would recuse themselves or something.

[chumblybjm]

I am going to be real curious who represents the religious caste among
realm works fans here...

I mean we all know that the workers and warriors are going to be
manipulated into approving whatever the religious caste wants anyway:D

[Viking2054]

uhmm... they were manipulated into what Delenn wanted, not necessarily the religious cast.

[BJ]

Lol... yup I understand the necessity for this bit.

Haha! Years of experience has taught me not to leave that out. ;)

As long as you aren't working directly with (or the owner of) an RPG company who's content is being submitted, you should be fine. The occasional content submission can be reviewed by other council members. :)

[EightBitz]

This isn't going to work, Rob. Don't give me that innocent look. I know EXACTLY what you're up to. But it won't work. We are NOT going to start calling you Entil'Zha.

[Exmortis]

I am not good at knowings, but I am good at doings.

[Chemlak]

Engage parody mode!

Are you detailed orientated

Read: good at picking things apart. No, not nitpicky. Why would you think we meant nitpicky? See also: detail-oriented.

with several free hours each week?

Read: stare at your monitor for long periods.

Do you care about the quality of the content available in Realm Works and have a good familiarity with the program?

Are you daplunk, EightBitz, or any of the other technical wizards who put the rest of the users to shame?

Do you enjoy free perks

Read: we have cookies.

and the knowledge that you are preforming a valuable public service? Read: but we can't afford shipping on baked goods, so it'll be digital content. Preformed digital content. [/rimshot]

Then we need you to stand between the darkness and the light! You are our last, best hope for peace (on the forums).

Wizards' First Rule. People are stupid. We don't think you're stupid, but you hang out on a software developer's forum and spend hours staring at your computer monitor. You might make a mistake. Seriously, we've seen it before. It isn't pretty. We still need mindbleach.

Parody mode disengaged.

Darn, I'd really love to take part in this, but my time-management sucks, so I must recuse myself on the grounds that I do care about the quality of the content available in RW.

[Viking2054]

Another Terry Goodkind fan, in a Babylon 5 setting... ;)

Valen will do. :p

Actually, it's probably better if you refer to me as Zathras. No, not that one. @Exmortis is that one. The other one. Yes, one of the still living ones. Listen closely to the pronunciation and you'll know which one I'm referring to. It's Zathras.

:D

ROFLMAO!! Love it!

[Grey Mage]

BJ,

The first email I sent to you at bj@wolflair.com bounced.

Sent a second yesterday.

Hope you are all having a good start to your weekend.

[AEIOU]

I agree completely with @Chemlak, this would be a lot of fun. Maybe form a Shades of Grey Council for those of us that can't commit quite as much time as it would deserve? :)

[daplunk]

Aye this would be cool. But my plate is full enough as it is.

How odd! Unless you are one of the people who failed to include their forum name, I don't believe I have an email from you.

I'm not the only one that did that?? I did send an addendum admitting my mistake and providing the information though. I hope that it got through.

[Vargr]

Would also love to help out but feel I don't have the time it requires - and deserves :(

[BJ]

Haha! There were a few! You were the only one who followed up with a correction though. ;)

[Exmortis]

Do we have any idea of the time required? A few free hours is vague.

I ask because I have seen a few mean 2 and 22.

[Zaphod Beebledoc]

I just need to know the amount of time you have available. If it's 5-10 hours a week, that's fine, but knowing the amount of time you have available allows me to make decisions on who we choose and how many people we require to get the job done. :)

[ErinRigh]

Hey BJ When does the world find out who all you picked for the Gray Council, or is that going to be a mystery?

For me that's almost my entire RW time over two weeks.

[Billy277]

It's a shame I didn't know about this sooner, but yeah, I'm interested in who was selected as well.

[BJ]

Erin, you should have already had an email from me but I sent it again recently, if you still aren't receiving it please PM me on the forums.

Thanks!

[ErinRigh]

I got it thanks, BJ

[joepacelli]

I would love to sign up, but I'm unfortunately too new to Realm Works.
I finally purchased this past weekend after waiting for over 1 year to purchase.
So I'm just starting to use it now and get a good understanding for it.

[ErinRigh]

Hey Joe, congrats on taking the plunge. You may now look forward to years of fun aggravation as you learn the various ins and outs of using this incredible piece of software.

As for the Grey Council, I am sure membership is not set in stone, so feel free to apply to BJ when you are more comfortable with the Works, and maybe your seat will still be warm. :D

Haha! Yes, I'm sure council members will change as we continue on, so keep it in mind for the future when you are more acquainted with the program! :)
