We expect great things from our Administrators. And why not? Should I not be able to make an event, YOU will have the POWER to organize and run the event. If a moron were put in charge of this task, we would not be running the Super Top Secret Linebattles for as long as we have (Ten thousand centuries). An official STSTFLE Admin will have to be quick on his/her feet, and deftly handle situations as they arise. Something
ALWAYS happens 5 minutes before an event that could bring the Linebattles to its knees. Your job would not be simply to hand out sides and just play. Your job would be to keep the STSTFLE alive and vibrant, to spread its glorious story throughout the universe, and to validate parking garage tickets should someone buy something from the gift shoppe.
Many was the time that we had to scramble to secure TWO servers within minutes of an event,
or Steam Groups when down and we had to spam each member of the STSTFLE Group personally,
or Steam itself went down and we had to visit each Regiment Teamspeak personally with the password
or a Giant Flying Spaghetti Monster arrived demanding meatballs as a token of goodwill, else he would shower us with his meat-sauce wrath.
You get the picture. It is NOT a fun job. However, if you are good at crisis management, or would like to see how you operate under pressure, by all means, apply... AT YOUR OWN RISK! BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
What being a STSTFLE Admin entrails...err, i mean 'entails':
- Tact
- Non-Argumentative
- Ability to turn the other cheek
- Ability to take control of a situation spiraling out of control
- Determination
- Not Pushy
- Don't hog the Purple Text. People hate this.
- Try not to single out an entire Regiment. Phrase it like "Hey 426th, straighten your line out" or "327th You guys keep ramboing" isn't necessary. Remove the Regiment tags. They know who they are (filthy heathens).
- Don't swear like a sailor
Basically just mimic how Thundersnow administrates. He's wonderful.
If a Regiment is really messing up, write their Regiment name down and if possible those involved if its just one or two rule-breakers and we'll talk about it with you afterwards. I will then visit that Regiments Teamspeak and discuss the problem with that Regiment, behind closed doors. I have found that this is the best process for all involved.
Things you will NOT be allowed to do:
- Ban someone
- Chastise a Regiment openly in Admin Chat
- Freeze anyone
- Spawn weapons/grenades
Things you WILL be allowed to do:
- Slay someone
- Switch an afk to spectator
- Announce in admin chat general statements. (Say 'John' is hiting behind a tree and he is not a skirmisher, you can say "No hiding behind trees unless you are a skirmisher", etc. If that person persists for 60 seconds, you may slay that person.)
In all honesty, I often let small infractions slip to further the evenings fun. Nothing kills fun like a steady stream of Purple Text the entire night. You must be able to bend like a reed in the wind, otherwise you'll break while tracking every single infraction that is occurring. Try and have fun. If suddenly the
entire server is screaming, ranting and raving because of something you did, you're doing it wrong.

Yes I have read the Rules, and the Administration Rules.
Give us a good idea of why we should put such unwieldy power in hands such as yours! Who are YOU to demand this great privilege!?!!?!:
