Click the button above to go back to our main thread.

Apply to be part of Gear Deer staff here by filling out the form listed under the position you want to apply for. I am looking for people who are already part of the GD community and discord or are willing to join now, 16+, and English-speaking. Gear Deer positions generally require daily upkeep. After being part of the team for more than a month and successfully contributing in more than one way, new members other than guest artists may earn a custom to be displayed as part of the staff on the main thread. Staff gain access to the Staff channels on the GD Discord and are paid in CS pets or gears. Current staff members may take on more than one position on a case by case basis.

POSITIONS CURRENTLY OPEN

Artist
Tasks:
Breedings
Customs
Weekly Litters
Merging Rewards
Plaza Pals

This is the position to apply for if you want to contribute to Gear Deer in a big way! You must have prior experience with digital art and design. You must be able to use .psd files, as that is what I will be sending you. The GD staff communicates mostly through our Discord so you must be active there. You will be tasked with completing jobs off of a to-do list, as well as making weekly litters, gathering babies, and plaza pals, with freedom to pick how you want to contribute. You will be expected to contribute in one of these ways at least three times a month. I will be sending successful applicants a guide document containing instructions and the Gear Deer lines. These resources are not to be shared or posted anywhere, and my signature must remain on the lines at all times. You will always be credited for your work.

Dress-up artists will be in charge of handling Gear Deer edits. This includes dress-ups, companion pairing images, morph spells, and any other image editing needs. You will need some experience editing photos and must be able to use .psd files, as that is what you will be working with.

Record Keeper
Tasks:
Sheet editing

On this sheet is a record of every deer, their name, traits, and dressups. There is one for deer and one for companions. These lists take a lot of time to keep up-to-date. Our website draws info from this sheet to determine breedings, which makes it very important. Every time the archive is updated, new deer/companions must be added. Dressups, morphs, and friends are also listed there. Name-changes must also be recorded. You must have a good knowledge of the existing traits and what determines a trait's rarity, or the ability to learn quickly. You must be available daily on both CS and Discord to look out for and make the changes to keep these records up-to-date.

Coder
Let's spice up the Gear Deer threads visually! You'll be sending me code to implement into the Gear Deer posts on all related threads. I should be able to copy/paste the code into its intended place without too much editing or issues. Example code can be a suggestion for Gear Deer in code format with an explanation, or a link to a CS post that you coded. I will be applying any code written specifically for Gear Deer in order to test the implementation grade of your code.

Proofreader
Proofread for spelling, grammar, readability, and clarity, as well as point out if I have missed adding something into the archive. You will be looking to improve our threads by replacing any of our current text with concise and clear wording where needed. In addition, you will be looking for formatting consistency; for example, each archive post should be formatted the same way, down to the spacing. You must have a good eye for detail and be familiar with the format of all Gear Deer threads. Your example should be pointing out a better way to word something in any of the Gear Deer threads, a formatting inconsistency, or anything else related to both Gear Deer and the position which you believe could be improved. I retain the right to apply these changes even if you are not selected.

How active are you on CS? i'm usually active for about 4-6 hours every day. as the school year progresses there may be days when i am less active due to homework.

Are you able to dedicate an unspecified amount of your time to Gear Deer? yes! i love Gear Deer in its entirety, and i'm always looking for new things to work on. i'd be happy to dedicate however much time you needed from me.

What Would you Suggest to be Improved First if you were Selected? i would first suggest to change some of the wording on the main page to be more clear & sound more inviting. since the main page is what someone first sees when they click on the thread, it's important that the writing is clear and informational, all while being quick and concise (see Example Correction).

How are you Qualified for this Position? i feel i am qualified because i've taken high level english classes throughout my life, and i am very familiar with grammar and word use. my friends and classmates always come to me if they need someone to proofread their paper, or help them write a structured paragraph. i also ran my own user-made adoptable species in the past, so i understand the importance of having clear and concise wording, along with proper grammar.

Why Should I Pick You? i feel i should be picked because i'm serious when i need to be, but very fun-loving and optimistic. i am a good communicater, and i'll be quick to notify you about any issues that arise, or about suggestions that i have. i love Gear Deer and the amount of potential it has, and i'm willing to invest as much time as i need into it in order to help GD grow and expand. i love being able to help others, and i would be so grateful for the opportunity to help you out.

Example Correction: the text on the main page currently says:
savor_the_moment wrote:Welcome to Gear Deer!
Gear Dear are automatous cervine who keep companions for their magical properties. The world they live in is a fantastical steampunk wilderness. They use Image Gears as their currency. Adopt a Gear Deer today to get started!


i would suggest changing it around to something like this:

Welcome to Gear Deer!
Gear Deer are automatous cervine who keep companions for the magical properties they possess. The world they live in is a fantastical steampunk wilderness. [insert something here along the lines of: "Gear Deer are very friendly towards people, and enjoy living harmoniously with them." you should of course change the sentence around a bit to whatever you think applies to a GD. the important thing is for people to get a sense of a Gear Deer's personality.] These creatures use Image Gears as their currency.


i edited the end first sentence for clarity. the second sentence is great, and helps develop a sense of environment, so i didn't think any changes were needed. i suggest adding in a third sentence that tells a bit about a GD's personality, along with their connection to humans. i slightly edited the statement about Gears, changing "They" to "These creatures". this adds word variety & a bit of clarity. as for the last sentence, ("Adopt a Gear Deer today to get started!") it would really be up to you whether you wanted to keep it or not. it doesn't take anything away from the paragraph, but it doesn't add any information either.

-----

thank you so, so much for this lovely opportunity! i wish you luck on finding the perfect person to fill all of your staff spots <3

How active are you on CS? I’m in every day for 2+ hours per day

Are you able to dedicate an unspecified amount of your time to Gear Deer? of course! I am an owner of a species and moderator for a few.

What Would you Suggest to be Improved First if you were Selected? I would suggest making the “welcoming” message to something like this; “Welcome to Gear deers! Gear Dear are automatous cervine who keep companions for the magical properties they posess. The world they live in is a fantastical steampunk wilderness. These creatures use Gears as their currency. We welcome you to adopt a Gear Deer today !”
Or something along those lines as the main page of any adopts is the first thing that potential adopters will see. (I can make a list of what needs be improved if accepted for this position)

How are you Qualified for this Position? I am a writer for 12+ years. I absolutely love writing and my writing skills are pretty advanced, I spend most of my time writing and it’s my main hobby. I can help with grammar, correct punctuations, ect. and will always be willing to help put words together so that each users can understand them.

Why Should I Pick You? I believe I would make a perfect fit for this position as I’m an advanced writer and working to become an author.

Coding Application
Username: Steampunk_
How active are you on CS? I’m on 7 days a week for 2-3+ hours per day. The hours my vary each day.
Are you able to dedicate an unspecified amount of your time to Gear Deer? Yes. I can dedicate a lot/unspecified amount of time for Gear Deers adopts!
What Would you Improve First if you were Selected? I would first improve the first post (welcoming post) so that it is neater and draws in more potential adopters! I would also modify the staff post that way the Gear Deers don’t take up so much space as well as organize the staff groups. I may just crop the Gear Deer head or make them smaller.
Why Should I Pick You? I enjoy being part of Gear Deer community and it’s such a wonderful species idea and very unique! I love coding when I have the time and I’ve been improving my coding skills over the course of 2 years.
Example Code:
Low-standard coding: example 1, example 2
Semi-standard coding: example 1, example 2
High-standard coding: example 1
