The Thirst...

The Thirst...

For some years, we have had a need, one relatively underserved by volunteers and halfhearted attempts. We've focused on other things, thinking that they would be more important, and ignored the failures and diminishing returns from not taking this need seriously.

Today, that stops.

I am putting out a call for a new Tribune.

The responisibilities of this position will seem easy at first, but they are far from that in reality. This person will be responsible for the wrangling of our social media accounts, for the creation and activity therein. To keep things up to date on a more than occassional basis. They will use these methods for what they rightly are: a viable recruitment tool. They will filter out all manner of our news and get our flavor out into the mouths of the masses that will no doubt be hungry for more Star Wars. They will take advantage of the upcoming films, of the upcoming video games, of the pop culture references and own them for us. They'll have a staff to work with them to ferret out these tidbits, and they will have the backing of our Dark Council to write articles to help draw readers into our deep web of lore and history. They will set things up so that the tradition carries on past their involvement, so that we can continue to use these assets to make sure that the Brotherhood carries on into the next decade without fail.

We're tentatively calling it Tribune: Recruitment. Fictionally, this person would work with the Dark Council and seek out new members in the Core worlds. It's a new position, so much is up to the first few people to hold the position. Yet we need dedication to the cause, and someone who can do this for some time without burning out and setting us back to where we started in the process.

Many ask for a chance to get in on the ground floor. This is it.

If you think that you have the ability, the savvy, and the nerve to handle this new position, please send an application to Raken and I before 2359 EST on the 12th.

I invented the internet, you know..

What Wally means is that he was born about the same time as the WWW became a thing :P

You think the internet is your ally? But you merely adopted the internet. I was born in it, molded by it.

A fantastic idea.

Sildrin's been bugging me for months, telling me how much the DJB needed something like this, so it's great to finally see something like this get a full time job.

I suck at Facebook and hate Twitter, but... for all you new age people who aren't miserable old farts, apply, apply, apply!!!

Might also be a good idea that the staff for this position are well distributed geographically to give us the widest possible outreach

Facebook is simple, I don't understand twitter..I think the first qualification is to be a twit jk lol :P

I would call this position something like Administrator of the Antei Holonet.

Nice suggestion, Etah.

Holonet Tribune? Has a certain ring to it, I think. Personally, I can't ever see myself filling this role. I utterly despise Facebook and never used Twitter. For all you fans of the social media, Apply!

I like facebook and know about twitter but don't use Twitter much. I keep thinking about this but I am not sure I could do the job as well as others.
