Application Process
1)
Secure a mentor that is in good standing with RBCSGor. If you do not already
know one, let the chairs of the caste know and a suitable assignment will be
made. Joleana SeVaris, Echo Jennings, Storm Ost xvx, and LadyCaraDeShea have
agreed to mentor new scribes at this time. (You must be a role-player on AOL
Gor to be a member of the RBCS caste.)
2)
Mentor Responsibilities: The mentor will review all documents before submitting
them to the caste on your behalf. The mentor will also participate in the logs
that will be submitted as well. Finally, the mentor will recommend your
acceptance in the caste.
3)
Complete this application and submit it to the chairs of the caste. At that
time, you are considered an“Applicant” to the RBCSGor and may so note that in
your profile. Make sure that your mentor is listed on the application. This
will be the only document that you submit directly to the caste chairs.
Everything else you submit will go to your mentor and your mentor will submit
it to the caste chairs on your behalf.
4)
Send the required submissions to your mentor. Once items #1 & #2 have been
submitted, you are considered an“Apprentice” to the RBCSGor and may so note
that in your profile. Someone may remain an apprentice for an indefinite amount
of time while all requirements are being met and they are actively working with
their mentor for acceptance in the caste. Should the mentor decide that you are
no longer attempting to submit appropriate documents or are taking too long in
the process, they can notify the caste chairs and you will have to begin the
process again when you have more time to devote to completing the process.
5)
After all submissions to the caste are completed, the mentor will review the
progress of the Apprentice and, when s/he feels the applicant is ready, the
mentor will write a letter of recommendation to the caste chairs asking for
acceptance of the Apprentice into the caste.
6)
The chairs will make a final decision and notify the mentor and Apprentice of
the acceptance or denial in a timely manner. In the case of a denial, specific
suggestions will be made for the Apprentice to correct the items and under what
circumstances they should re-apply for acceptance.
7)
If you have any questions, comments or concerns during the application process,
please contact your mentor and/or the caste chairs for assistance or
clarification.
OOC
Note: This application requires IC and OOC information. In an effort to improve
the quality of roleplay for scribes on AOL Gor and to create a resourceful
network for scribes to count on for questions and assistance that can enhance
the roleplay, the requirements for admittance into the caste have become more
stringent. It is our hope as well that this may foster more collaboration and
involvement within the caste itself. Please know that we welcome anyone into
the caste that is willing and able to enhance the roleplay. It is not our
intent to keep anyone out and the chairs of the caste will gladly work with
anyone who truly has an interest in fulfilling the requirements and joining the
caste. Should you have difficulty finding a mentor, please contact the chairs
of the caste and they will try to find an experienced scribe char to assist
you. Thank you!
