Staff Positions & Their Roles
AMBASSADOR
position open
Responsibility Level: Moderate
The Ambassador's sole job is to search out other sites and advertise Prayers of Heresy to new prospective players. Whether it's posting adverts, bumping advertisement posts, or negotiating link-back banners, the Ambassador works on all things advertising related and reports to the administrator on status and results.
ANALYST
position open
Responsibility Level: Heavy - Multiple individuals will be reporting to you, in addition to reading and reviewing submission items. You will basically be the administrator's assistant in maintaining records.
The Analyst reviews and screens all Requirement Submissions for increase requests in character levels, skills, and monetary statuses prior to the administrator. They highlight any possible discrepancies for the administrator to review prior to experience allocations. They also enforce the formatting guidelines on how the players submit these requests in order to ensure uniformity and ease of review.
- Many of the other staff members will be reporting to you any requirement completions by characters for credit.
ARCHIVIST
position open
Responsibility Level: Low to Moderate - All based on player population. But essentially the job can be completed at the end of each month, leaving the rest of the time free to play.
Checks and enforces player-character activity by reviewing their post counts and sends out any warnings associated with it at the end of each month. They maintain the archives for inactive or dead characters along with their subsequent players, if applicable. They also update the Analyst if a character meets the post count and / or 1 year anniversary requirement so that the character can be allocated appropriate experience increases.
BAR TENDERS
3 - 5 positions open to cover all areas accordingly.
Responsibility Level: Mostly Low then spikes to Heavy - The DMing portion is very heavy. But you're only required to do the job once in a while.
In the world of Final Fantasy Tactics, additional propositions (or quests) were given to the player via the bar tenders in the various cities. Huge rewards were given as a result in completing them. The duty of the Bar Tenders are to give propositions to other player characters and then utilize NPC accounts to essentially Dungeon Master (DM) the events and obstacles the characters will have to overcome to complete the proposition in the respective location. The administration already has the quest objectives, rewards, and difficulty levels written up based on the ones that exist from the game. Bar Tenders will need to role-play out the proposition's difficulty level based on, and in comparison to, the characters that take on the task. If the characters are not high enough in skill, or in party size, to complete the proposition then characters should be rated with a high probability of failure and played out accordingly.
- Bar Tenders will be allocated a new proposition to give to characters after 1- 3 months of completing the last proposition. Once given a proposition, the Bar Tender has roughly 3 to 5 months to complete DMing the proposition once accepted by a character party.
- Bar Tenders are expected to report to the Analyst when characters have completed the proposition.
NOTE: A Bar Tender cannot have any of their own characters participate in the propositions they oversee, they will need to obtain one from a different Bar Tender if that is the case.
KEEPER OF THE PEACE
position open
Responsibility Level: Low - Must be a good "people person".
Player disputes are forwarded to the Keeper of the Peace who reviews the situation and converses with the players via email, PMs, or chat systems to come to terms of agreement. If the Keeper of the Peace cannot barter a resolution between parties through diplomatic measures then they must work with the administrator to resolve the issue. The Keeper of the Peace also logs any players disputes in the Staff forums.
MEISTERS
Arms, Experience, and Study positions open
Responsibility Level: Moderate - Depends on player population and number of requests.
These staff members play NPCs that challenge characters through organized institutions or individual mentors so that other player-characters can increase their skills or potential in the event actual PCs of that experience level are not yet in play. Each Meister specializes in creating, role-playing out, and training characters through comprehensive quests or activities specific to character levels. A Meister of Arms will teach weaponry and fighting skills, the Meister of Study teaches magic or knowledge-based training regimes, and the Meister of Experience supports the other two by customizing additional quests or activities and communicating with Bar Tenders to see if a character has the ability to participate in any active propositions.

Responsibility Level: Low to Moderate - All based on player population and activity. The War Captains can balance out the workload among themselves, or all three can be used to rule on a single thread.
Observes warfare or battle threads and ensures that players within compliance of their characters' capabilities. Players may also call upon them to make judgement calls on actions and require players to edit. War Captains are not expected to watch over every thread that involves dueling. They only need to look into threads that are high profile fights, or requested by the administrator or Analyst to re-evaluate the posts. If a War Captain happens to come across a player-character that is grossly misusing abilities outside of their guidelines then they are permitted to intervene and notify the administrator.
- War Captains must make their judgements based on the listed class / skill guidelines, and must make sure they have reviewed all character profiles extensively before interfering with the thread.
- War Captains may motion to put a thread "ON HOLD" for further review, but have 24 hours to come to a final verdict within that time frame unless the administrator permits otherwise.
