Aww Damen! I wish I could! But I have only been on for a day! );

Good luck to everyone and their applications. I will be there and watch.

Greetings DSGHQ users,

If you are from England and watch the BBC program The Apprentice and have read the title you're probably thinking, a new competition to do with working for the Emperor???

Well if you were, you're right. Apart from my name won't be Lord Sugar.


I've made a second moderator competition called 'Emperors Apprentice'.

The Emperor Apprentice is a special new rank, that can be won. What is the Emperor Apprentice?

The Apprentice is a moderator, not just on Snaildom, but on forums too!

The Emperor's Apprentice is given optional training on anything they want from Damen.
E.g. game making, designing, website making, broadcasting etc... so one day perhaps they may host radio shows or create minigames for the DSGHQ and will help them to become successful in any of these fields when they're older so they can become rich!

Does it work the same as the Game of Mods?
It's similar, but instead of allowing users to make their own teams, there are only 2 main teams which users are evenly shared into.

Can anyone join?
No, before an Apprentice Comp there will be sign ups, like this discussion.

How many people are selected?
There is a minimum of 13 candidates to run for the rank, although it probably will go up to around 15.

How long does the Competition last?
There are 3 stages per week and there are 3 weeks. In total, there are 9 stages. 1 person is fired each stage until there are 4 left in the final.

What time?
The dates aren't made yet, because we need to get the candidates first.

Tasks
Instead of having lots of tasks in each stage, there will only be one mega-task in each stage.

Do you understand that the rank of Apprentice includes moderator rank and forums moderator rank and learning apprentice of Damen: Yes indeed

I don't quite feel as though an application would be the best way to chose an apprentice but, still here's my application.

Name: Skippy, sK1PPY1, and 0sKIPPY1.
Age: 13
Experience: Ex-Knight on OldCP (ex since it shut down), Knight on forums, Ex-Moderator on a few Wordpress sites (Ex due to being in a car wreck and then being demoted from being in-active during the time I was resting.), and Admin on http://zero.forum.com.bz/
Skills: I am currently a knight on the forum and I was a knight on OldCP(even though this doesn't count as mod, due to the fact I could still arrest bad users I would sort of count it.
Are you willing to learn any of the above quotes subjects from Damen if you become the Apprentice? Select any from "Game Designing", "Multiplayer Servers", "Website Designing", "Broadcasting Radio", "Broadcasting Television" I honestly would love to learn all of these. It's just so amazing of what you're willing to teach.

You're the one who inspired me to learn more about this type of thing. Ever since I learned about you I actually chose my High School plan for next year to learn how to design games, websites, ect. I've always wanted to learn more about you he make such amazing games. If I were ever worthy enough to even learn from the great one known as Damen, I already know perseverance is one of the best virtues to have for, there are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.

Do you understand that the rank of Apprentice includes moderator rank and forums moderator rank and learning apprentice of Damen? Yes.


P. S. I don't know if I will be able to make it due to physical therapy from another car wreck I was recently in about a couple of months ago.

This isn't choosing the apprentice, this is choosing who will be in the contest for choosing the apprentice.

Toby I already knew that.

What I meant was what if all the people who applied weren't trustworthy. I know that is highly unlikely but, I'm just saying that it makes it sound as if almost anyone could become the apprentice as long as they have fulfilled the requirements. Also, as long as nobody else who is trustworthy would apply. I know there are measures preventing this but, I'm just saying it's what it sounds like.

I would like to apply.

I have been on the forums for more than 3 months.
I have never been banned.
My age is 10.
My moderating experience: I will follow the rules, and never cuss, never abuse, etc.

Do you understand that the rank of Apprentice includes moderator rank and forums moderator rank and learning apprentice of Damen? Yes.

I can't apply either! Good luck to those who can....

Hello,

Today I have decided that I will take my chances in the Apprentice Competition and due to that, I will apply. Although I am fully aware that this is a large responsibility and not just anyone may compete without being accepted.

Application:

Name: Snaildom: LiveToDance, DSGHQ Forums: LiveToDance

Age: 13, turning 14 on November 19th

Experience: I have moderated for several parts of the Damenspike HQ and those include OldCP, the DSGHQ XAT Chat, and Snaildom, so I am on subject and I know how to handle the position wisely. In addition, lately I have been into studying certain languages of programming as I enjoy learning about technical inventions and because of that, I am willing to learn most of the stated classes. I am partly familiar with a small portion of HTML and other types of coding such as Python, however I am thrilled at the opportunity to learn more about them. I have been attentive towards getting to know information about creating games, or designing websites, and I believe I would do a decent job since I know electronics very well in this particular time.

Skills: I have a rather unique variety of skills in moderating, as I know when to use abilities and other matters of the job. I have moderated several individuals of the DSGHQ, including the above and have never abused powers or held a player under penalty without reasoning. I am also on task and never leave a situation to float away. I am quite active, meaning online most of the time, so I would be able to solve several cases with users who break the given rules and try to get away with their naughtiness. I am always willing to answer open questions about the job, or help in other concerns of the community that may need comprehension. Many have brought reports each day, and not simply once have I walked away without ending the problem. I am reasonable when it comes to talking, and aware of my surroundings, daily skimming each room of Snaildom or parts of the Forum for mischievous users. I am loyal to my peers, can be relied on if something serious is brought up, and do not break any rules myself.

Are you willing to learn any of the above quotes subjects from Damen if you become the Apprentice?: I am interested in multiple classes such as "Game Designing", "Multiplayer Servers", and "Website Designing". I believe I have come far in the DSGHQ, and are up for a larger responsibility, especially learning subjects that relate to creating inventions or simply lending a hand in keeping the community in order.

Description: Personally I think I am suitable for this job for many purposes, including that I am patient when a situation comes in mind. I have had experience in moderation and aside matters which has lead me into thinking I am trusted enough to be the Apprentice. I do my job well and excelling or learning from someone who has larger knowledge would be astounding to come in contact with. In addition, I do not just try to end a situation if one often is thrown towards me, but I do end the situation with each aspect of my abilities or skills. I believe I fit this position due to my past, what I am capable of, and how I am able to enforce each rule smartly. I am always able to be spoken to and try to improve in each task I am doing every chance I have. I have and never will go against any of the community's rules and if so, I am aware that it will result in punishment. I can clearly understand that this rank is new, though I will do my best to catch on easily as I know that it may bring complicated tasks and/or situations, however I will be able to succeed with this position as I am loyal and can be taught without aggravation.

Do you understand that the rank of Apprentice includes moderator rank and forums moderator rank and learning apprentice of Damen?: Yes, very much.

Thank you for taking a look at my application, and I wish the best of luck to other sign-ups.
