--Leader Application--

Time to select leaders! Before you apply, please read the following list of responsibilities that leaders will have. 1. You should be active. We want Clan leaders to be active in their Clans, since they will have to engage in discussion with the Clan and assign mentors to new apprentices.

2. You will have to post at Gatherings. As of now, the format for Gatherings that I'm planning on will be as follows: I will make a Gathering thread at Fourtrees two days before the full moon, and close the thread two days after the full moon. During this time frame, leaders are expected to make a Gathering post that will bring all the clans up to date on their Clan. Since I understand that sometimes things will come up, such as vacations, Clan leaders should make sure that their deputy knows that they will have to speak for the Clan if they won’t be there.

3. You will be able to decide to attack other clans, although your clan members may decide to disobey you.

4. You will have to assign mentors to new apprentices and make apprentices warriors when they are ready.

5. I expect you to be friendly to new users. As a moderator, you should welcome new users, even if they don’t want to join your clan.

6. You will be able to plan clan events, such as roleplayed parties, picnics, competitions, etc.

7. Lastly, I will expect you to continue to follow our rules.

Deputies will have similar responsibilities, so I’ll list them here.

1. We will expect you to follow rules.

2. You will have to help your leader answer any questions at Gatherings, and be able to speak for them if they aren’t able to make it.

3. You should be active in your Clan. After all, it’s the deputy’s job to make sure that the Clan knows about any new rules or events.

4. I expect you to be welcoming of all new users.

5. You will have the job of organizing patrols.

6. Lastly, I want to stress that being Clan deputy does not guarantee being made leader if your leader can no longer act as leader. Should a leader have to step down from his or her post, we will appoint a temporary leader until we have the time to go through another application process.

Leaders will have a lot of responsibility on this site, so please make sure that you’re up to it before you apply. If we find that a leader is no longer meeting our expectations of a leader, we reserve the right to remove them from that post. Lastly, we want to emphasize that being leader will not make you supreme ruler of your Clan. You will still have to reach democratic solutions when making big decisions. Being leader simply allows you to play the role of a leader.

If you are interested in becoming leader of a clan, please answer the following questions in a PM to Moonwind.

1. How often to you go on the forum?

2. How much time do you spend on the forum?

3. Who in your clan would make a good mentor?

4. How would you choose mentors for new apprentices? Who in your clan would make a good mentor?

5. If two members of your clan both wanted to be a medicine cat apprentice, but you only had one open slot, how would you handle the situation?

6. Why do you want to be leader?

7. What is your current post count?

8. Finally, make up a Gathering post, that you would post at Gatherings. Be creative! We want to see how you can contribute to the fun of the site, so feel free to make up events, such as new apprentices, or new warriors, or the birth of kits. Also, make sure that you remember that this is a roleplay site, so look through your books and report on some of the things that the leaders in the books report on.

Note: Apprentices can no longer apply for leadership. Please wait until you become a warrior.

Final Note: We feel that leaders should be just that - leaders. If you want to be leader, please keep this in mind. a) You MUST be active. b) While this is not a requirement, good, literate roleplaying skills will increase your chance of becoming leader.
