First of all I'd like to thank all who had enough courage to send us their applications.
These people stepped out of the line and offered us help with running this mod/server/community and that means a lot. For some of them it's going to be a bit sad to realize they weren't chosen this time, but I hope all of them are wise and mature enough not to flame us for not picking them or leave this community or something like that. And I am very sure this is not the last time we are seeking for admins.
In sum we received 44 applications and decided to pick 5 new admins this time. I'd like to note that this is the first time we are going to 'upgrade' the admin team with so many new admins.
We investigated each of the applicants from different points of view and then made a poll. Each of us had 10 points which he/she assigned among the applicant he/she chose respecting the 3-1 x 2-2 x 1-3 rule (3 points to 1, 2 points to 2 and 1 point to 3 applicants). In the end we summarized the points and agreed on accepting the first 5 applicants. Fair and simple.
Vero - our first attempt to 'import' an experienced admin from other Freelancer servers. He might not have been here for that long but his maturity and Freelancer admin experience convinced us to accept him among us.

Hehe, I haven't played in the time of the bann... hmm, now I still haven't played this morning... can someone notify me when this is fixed so i can safeley come back online... (I don't want to be cought "cheating" by the faulty cheat prevention)
I like the Idea of a hard core cheat prevention system... Let it be as militant as posible, to within an Inch of non-cheating... So the most minnor mod, will be bluntly autobaned, kicked... something that will get the message throu "Cheat and DIE!"
We demand:
- applicant must have been active for reasonable period of time (this may vary, depending on your activity)
- applicant must be prepared to do the hard job and expect nothing in return
- applicant must be willing to give up faction leadership in order to become an unbiased admin
- applicant must know the current rules almost by heart and must understand the relations between factions (we may test this)
- applicant must be ready to accept possible mistakes (we all do them), and apologize in front of all the community if needed, and leave proudness and arogance behind
- applicant must persuade us that he's not motivated by gaining the power only
- applicant must be accepted by all current admins (this is absolutely necessary, admin team must work smoothly)
We offer:
- well, not much in return, you may feel a bit honored, but that's pretty much all..
How should the application look like?
1) your name, age and country you're from (time zone)
2) how long have you been playing FL/Discovery
3) how much time per week are you able to offer (doesn't have to be 24/7 of course)
4) previous admin experience, where, for how long? (this is not a must)
5) a short motivation letter explaining why you're the right person for the job (just a few lines)
Send it by PM to me and Korrd.
Applications will *not* be revealed to public and they will serve only to pick suitable candidates by current admin team. You don't need to start crying if you're not picked immediately, your application may be reviewed later.
If you have any thoughts on topic, feel free to post here (and bump this thread so it's under attention).
