I would like to thank Derek Burrow for his time as AMST DPoM. Grad
school is a rough thing and it’s taking him away from our team (which
makes us all sad). However, real life always comes first and in this
case, we’re losing Derek to a good thing. Having said that, I am now
accepting applications for the AMST Dark Places on the Map position.

Job Description

The AMST Dark Places on the Map (DPotM) has responsibility for
ensuring that character history and in-chronicle activity in areas
other than official Camarilla affiliates or GIR are effectively
logged. In addition, they are responsible for maintaining an extensive
archive of information regarding “Dark Place” locations – including
ensuring that two players with overlapping character backgrounds are
put in touch, aiding with character background development, noting the
IC setup of various DPotM cities and locations, supporting venue
AMSTs, and helping players interact with “Dark Places” as easily and
productively as they might with their own VST.

Job responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

- Development and maintenance of the Dark Place Wiki logging
historical and current chronicle events, plot links and personalities,
both PC and NPC, in all venues.
- Assisting players in development of character backgrounds including:
providing or confirming definition of Dark Place locations and IC
structures and facilitating PC ties based on geographical proximity.
- Acting in a “DST” type role for Dark Places, ensuring that IC events
proposed and run by venue AMSTs do not clash or otherwise threaten to
cause significant cross venue or real world difficulties.
- Ensuring that players (in terms of relevant IC knowledge) and venue
AMSTs (in terms of overall background and history) are fully prepared
for Dark Place based proxies.
- From time to time at venue AMST request to run proxies to Dark Place
locations.
- To provide global, national and regional storytelling staff relevant
information regarding “border” events or other issues of note.
- Strong organizational skills
- Storytelling experience
- Reliable email and 48hr response turnaround
- Ability to work with members and Storytellers at all levels of the
organization

The Dark Places Wiki is intended to be a detailed and
information-heavy tool and the AMST DPotM must be well prepared to
continue to develop and administer it as a central part of their role.
The AMST DPotM must be prepared for the fact that the role is
primarily an administration focus rather than storytelling, which is
the primary remit of venue AMSTs.

The hiring process will consist of two stages. The first step is the
basic application, which should be sent to Michelle Webb
(camarilla.mst at gmail.com) and Lesley Packel (amst.admin at
gmail.com) by 11:59 GMT, January 30th, and should include the
following:

*Name, Cam #, contact info
*Coordinator & local ST contact info
*Vision statement
*Proposed 6 month work plan
*Camarilla and relevant real life resume
*Three to five references (excluding NSTs, or Global officers, as
these will be asked for feedback separately)
*List of any disciplinary actions received in the last 2 years

The second stage involves an initial set of questions which will help
me decide the short list and a phone interview if necessary after
that.

Best of luck to everyone!
