Staff roles:
Preparations have been underway for several weeks to begin writing rumors for the new Gallic base NPCs.
Preparations are continuing, but the point has been reached where we can begin actively writing rumors.
If you have experience roleplaying in Gallia, you are especially encouraged to participate in the rumor creation process. You may participate even if you think that your writing ability is inadequate. The major task of creating rumors is not the writing, but is coming up with ideas to write about.
If you are interested in writing rumors for Gallic factions, please apply in this thread, by providing the following information:
1) The extent of your experience or knowledge of Gallia.
2) Whether you can write rumors, or just supply ideas for rumors.
3) Name the Gallic factions you are most comfortable with supplying rumors for.
4) Describe how much you are able to contribute: just a few ideas or rumors, up to writing dozens of rumors over the next few months.
My estimate is that we will require somewhere between 1,000 to 1,500 new rumors for Gallia, so there is plenty to do for anyone who wants to contribute.
It is important to point out that you may be ideal for this project even if you do not have any experience in Gallia. General rumors for police, navy, corporate, and pirate factions are similar to those in Sirius since the experience of being police, for example, is the same in many ways across countries. If you can write rumors for a Sirius faction, then you could probably write rumors for a similar Gallic faction.
If you would like to become heavily involved in writing rumors for Gallia over the next few weeks or months, then in addition to posting in this thread, write 3 new rumors for the Gallic faction of your choice and then send them to me in a PM for evaluation. Rumors should ideally be between 3 and 5 sentences in length, but could be a little longer or shorter, depending on content. Ideas that need more space to be expressed can be split into several back to back rumors.
If you are already involved in reviewing or writing rumors for Sirius and have been in contact with me, and you wish to switch to working on Gallia, first finish your current project, then send me a PM to let me know.
