RuneScape:Events Team/Requests

This is the page to request to join the events team.

To nominate a user, create a 3 level header like so:

Example
Outline the reasons you think you/the nominee will be a good member here in a small paragraph.

Please note that the Events Team has one hard requirement: you must have an account on the wiki. If you do not have a wiki account, your RfET will automatically be void.

In addition, there are some softer requirements which can de debated upon during the RfET. Take these as guidelines for consideration if you are planning to nominate yourself, another person or to vote on an RfET:
 * Trusted user - are they 'trusted' by the wiki community (in-game and/or on-wiki)?
 * Game familiarity - are they familiar with the game, including being able to access most/all activities, successfully tank (or at least fight) bosses, etc...?
 * Availability - are they available to attend/host events (time zone permitting), are they often available for discussion in the Events Team's IRC channel?
 * Permission - if you are nominating someone other than yourself, please make sure to obtain their permission before nominating them.
 * Due to the nature of working in the Events Team, members will be expected to work together closely and possibly under stress. As such the current team have immediate veto power - if it cannot work together well with the candidate, then the user should not join the team.

Hairrazerrr
I think I would be a good candidate for the events team. I tried to go to as many wiki events that I could (Once I Knew About the Events). I think that I have been very active in the community. I'm a veteran in runescape knowing plenty about the game and mini-games. I will state that I live in the US (as does Fergie in the ET), and I do have personal things to do about once a month to every two months on the weekends. So possibly missing one or two events in every two months. I'm more knowlege than combat so I would be most helpful to participants of the event who need to know what to bring to an event. -- 13:29, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. I've seen Hairrazerrr mainly in chat, but I think that he could be a positive influence on the ET. He is active on RuneScape, and his knowledge could be useful in planning events. 14:10, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I rarely see you in the chat (I know you're there, I have actually seen you before, but not much.) If you are there, you don't make yourself known. Become a bit more community integrated, and we'll talk.-- 03:38, November 9, 2011 (UTC)
 *  Neutral - I have seen you but maybe you should be involved more first, then i might consider it... Primal Link 20:03, November 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - Good strong candidate in my personal opinion 16:30, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

02:16, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose - You have not been involved in the community at all. Also isn't it kind of bragging saying what you said! Sorry DENIED!
 * Bragging? I didn't brag about anything. I was just trying to post that I have a lot of knowledge of the game.  I also feel I have been involved in the community.  23:00, November 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong support - Dragonslayer, you really can't say he hasn't been involved. How can you know whether he has? I'm sorry but I've never heard of you and I don't believe anyone else here has, so it's no surprise that you've never seen Hair before. I personally think he is a strong candidate, well able to deal with unexpected cock-ups, and does know the game well. That's my 2 200 cents. 15:51, November 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - I haven't been able to make the last two past events due to Thanksgiving stuff and traveling. As of this post, I am in a car on a phone, have been for couple hours, and that is the only way I can do anything on the wiki. I would think that is a reasonable explanation of not being at an event, in my opinion.  23:00, November 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - The only person here who will make a good candidate. 23:48, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Hair, you're a good person to talk with, you're still somewhat active in S:C, and occasionally in the Yew Grove, but to me that's the extent of your activity here. I never see you in the CC or IRC, and I think I've seen you at around three events. I know you say you've had issues attending for the last while, but from what I can make out personally, you don't attend a good few events even when you can, and can't see why you'd need to be a member of the events team in the first place if all you want to do is tell people what to bring. 18:23, November 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose - There are two reasons for my opposition. First, is the lack of activity that I've seen in the CC, as mentioned by Flaysian. Secondly, I looked at your levels, and they're quite low. As an Events Team member, you need to be able to actually attend the events that are held and not get slaughtered in two seconds. 20:10, November 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose - Hair, you are helpful to the wiki, but as per Liquid, your stats are low, meaning you may not be able to attend some events such as God Wars. Get your stats up and I will defidantly support you. [[File:Polypore staff.png]] Hydrumin  Talk HS Qamp (HS) Sign Here [[File:Ganodermic poncho.png]]  03:38, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Is there any way i could get an 'internship' so to say? im assuming im relativly unknown in the RSW community, although i do believe i have good organisational skills, and people skills (my IRL occupation is Customer Service Leader).

my knowledge of Gielinor is not too shabby, above average, id say. im sure id apply for the full position if i were more well known in the RSW community, but i wouldnt mind learning the ropes :)

16:23, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: one problem i have with events is that a large majority of events are at times that are nearly impossible for me to attend. Im in GMT+8, so most events start around 2-8am :\ unless im extremely keen and willing to die at work, im not able to attend events :(


 * So... you can't make any events, are aware that you're not known within the community, don't know the game very well, hardly participate on the wiki at all, and you're not even looking to be a fully-fledged member. What on earth are you applying for? 16:40, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * i said i do know the game well... and im applying for an internship, so to say 16:47, November 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * (i) "Above average" is not knowing the game well, sir.
 * (ii) The phrase is "so to speak".
 * (iii) I still have absolutely no idea what you mean by an "internship", and the repetition of your opening sentence has shed no light on what you mean by it. 16:55, November 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * clearly our countries have different meanings. let me try again.


 * Is there any way i could get an 'apprenticeship/be trained' so to say? im assuming im relativly unknown in the RSW community, although i do believe i have good organisational skills, and people skills (my IRL occupation is Customer Service Leader).
 * my knowledge of Gielinor is very good, above average, id say. im sure id apply for the full position if i were more well known in the RSW community, but i wouldnt mind learning the ropes :) 16:58, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * This page isn't intended to host applications for apprenticeships, it's designed for serious candidates to work with each other, to make the team a success, and enjoyable for everyone. If you need to learn more about the role, then do so, and if you feel truly ready in future, then by all means try your hand at it again, but right now, this isn't for you. 17:15, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * considering that the events are NEVER australian friendly, when will be the time? :\ 17:31, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * If and/or when we get someone who satisfies the criteria, and is in one of those time zones, we can start making events in those time zones. As it is, since Pharos left, we have not had anyone in those time zones and as such cannot make events for AUS/etc users that we can actually, reliably, go to. We are sorry about this, but there's not a lot we can do.
 * In terms of "knowledge", yes knowing stuff is important but being practical is more so. For example, are you able to successfully survive against K'ril Tsutsaroth, alone, in gear that may not be optimal for a solo fight, with supplies partially used, while waiting for the rest of the event attendees to hop worlds? And then continue there for a significant amount of time? What about doing that several times over the course of the event? 17:49, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * ill be honest with you on this one, ive only soloed graardor (about 2 per inventory, 3 with BoB) and done jad twice (both success, plan to do again this weekend), but since the last time i did jad, ive gained 3 combat levels and access to extremes (ovls if i stew it), the only issue is that my armour has gone from bandos to veracs, but i guess i can always guthans tank? :\ 18:28, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was just giving an example of the sort of things we are expected to do at events - so we need people who can also do it. 19:07, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * i know, ive been to your events, went to tb, bandos (hilt split 500 ways was a fail, lol), (was it you or tip??) zammy gwd with tsut, wanted to go to trawler but i couldnt stay up :\
 * 19:43, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Killed Jad, check out my adv (link in signature), should be there for a while, im crushing 27,000 mud runes, so nothing should come up anytime soon

Hydrumin (IGN: DoYouPlay RS)
To begin, I believe I would be a good, active member in the Events team. I can be trusted with hefty tasks, get along well with others, and I don't crash under stress. I am very knowledgable with several activities, including Barbarian Assault, GWD, Conquest and Barrows, and I can attend most events, with the exception of Sara and Armadyl GWD. I play for lots of time a day, so I'm almost always avaliable to discuss events with other ET members. When I'm online, I'm usually on the RSW Chat unless I have a bad connection that day, which is rare, so review my application and tell me what you think =)

Floppyc5 (IGN: Jamais Vu)
I previously ran for a position on the ET but my actions during the zamorak gwd event involving a chicken suit hindered positive feedback from the other ET members. I can assure that I won't joke around like that. Floppyc5 20:57, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Strong Support - When I left the events team, I wanted one specific person to take my place. This is the guy 00:09, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

CHICKEN SUIT LOL!!!!!!!

07:35, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Good guy, knows his RS. also, that's not appropriate, nubwithgp. This is for mature discussion.-- 22:53, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
