Leadership of Shaman vacancy - applications


posted by Aspelta on Aug 18, 2022
Edit Post

Merly has decided to take a hiatus, so her royals are no longer in play. ICly, during the battle against Gwythr and the Alliance, the Arthurian royal family vanished. One moment they were among the others in the battle, and the next – gone. There is a temporary vacuum while the Privy Council and senior government administrators try to figure out what to do with no apparent heir. During the power vacuum, criminals and pirates may use the opportunity and their newfound immortality to cause problems.

This means there is a vacancy for a new royal family/governance of Shaman role.

We are opening applications for the new role as leader of Shaman. Here is how it will work. Please read the following information very carefully.

  • Players interested in holding the position of leader can submit an application by replying to this post.
  • The primary thing players will need to conceive of and submit is a plot which elevates a character(s) to the leadership position. This can be as simple or as complex as you like.
  • The term ‘leader’ is used, because this is also an opportunity for revolution. When applying, you can have as your plot a continuity of monarchy on Shaman. Alternatively, you might want to submit a different leadership style – such as a Lord Protector, a Council of Elders, a democratically elected leader, multiple rival leaders, etc.
  • You can team up with other players to submit plots where multiple characters assume the leadership role, for example if you go with a king & queen, or a council or congress/parliament, or even splitting Shaman into multiple rival kingdoms, etc.
  • You can also submit an application which leaves blanks. For example you might submit for a Council of Elders style of government, with five slots on the council, but you only taking one with one of your characters and the other four vacant. You can even submit a plot with none of your characters in the top job if you have any idea for how Shaman could be governed but you don’t want to govern it yourself.
  • Flexibility with how this is played out is essential, and there is room for the Arthurian royal family to return in the future and challenge other rulers for their position back.
  • Players can submit multiple plot ideas/applications. Please submit applications in separate posts below, instead of joining them all into one.
  • You can submit characters into plots who already exist on the game, or you can invent new characters for the roles.
  • If you are inventing new characters for roles, you have freedom to create the characters without the usual joining limitations (e.g. higher level, pre-existing powers). These characters will be considered along with the rest of your application.
  • You may be asked to adapt your application before or after it is chosen, for example if you have created a new character for a role which is unnecessarily OP’d.
  • New players, old players and returning players are all welcome to submit applications and ideas, regardless of activity levels or length of time on the site.
  • Players have one month to submit applications. During the interim, there will be a power vacuum on Shaman and the country will be governed by existing government members, such as the Privy Council and other professionals within the Castle. If you play any of those characters you can play them as if they are assisting in running the country. If you don't have any characters currently in those roles but want to be involved, drop me a message.
  • After one month, applications will open to an advisory AV vote among all players. Players will be asked to rank their favourite plot ideas/applications by secret ballot. This vote will be used to inform which plot we go with, but the final decision rests with Aspelta.


Application closing date: Sunday 18th September at midnight your time


Please fill out the form below to apply!

Players involved: Which players would be involved in this plot?
Characters involved: Which characters are involved in your application/idea? This can be just one or multiple. Will there be any 'blanks'/vacancies in key roles for others to fill in later?
Government setup: What will the names of the roles be? How will the ‘Shaman’ page look in the section which currently is headed ‘royals’? E.g. Monarch, Council, Lord Protector, President, Emperor, Congress, etc. Please also include if there will be a single government or if Shaman will be devolved into multiple governments in different regions.
Plot idea: Describe your plot idea for how we will transition from the existing power vacuum to your new government setup. This can be as simple or as complex as you like.
New characters (if applicable): If you are creating new characters for roles, include what their join form would look like below.
