___Would you serve in Heaven,___ or rule in Hell?

~ The time has come for the Veil’s Edge Staff family to grow ~


I know everyone is ecstatic at the possibility of a couple Moderators to help keep things under control around here ~ because you crazy kids keep breaking things <3. They are also going to be helping out with character registration approvals and upgrades and hopefully helping the Administration team pull everything together.

Hopefully it will be a smooth transition, but please be patient with the Staff team as a whole while we work through any inconsistencies which may arise. The Moderators are not going to know everything to start with, especially some of the finite details of how the mechanics of the world work ~ because there are still some things the Administration Team does not know. What can I say, we like to keep you guessing... but hopefully in no time at all they are going to be able to answer all of your questions (and hopefully some of the Administration Team’s as well).


A huge Thank You to:

Cent & Defiant

Who have both agreed to selflessly devote some of their time to making Veil’s Edge an even more incredible place than it already is.

Changes in the Administration


Being a staff member for Veil’s Edge is in no way a fixed position. We all have lives which ebb and flow that allows us to devote more or less time to, not only participating in the ongoing stories, but being able to help create and maintain the site in an Out of Character capacity.

As some of you may already know, King has decided to step down from being an Administrator.

King was instrumental in building Veil’s Edge in the initial stages and has continued to support the site in the months since. He has assisted the Members and his fellow Staff, and brought some incredible dynamics to the stories. If there was something being handled behind the scenes, a new policy or procedure being developed or a review process, King always had his hand in it.

Veil’s Edge would not have existed without him, and for that we will always be grateful.

Thankfully we are not going to be losing King entirely. He is going to continue Roleplaying as well as planning and running events for people to get involved with. Hopefully he will be able to focus more on the stories and immersing himself in the world than the behind the scenes decision making. As members, you can assist with this transition by dragging King into stories and ensuring that all Staff related questions are directed to Faith and North.

Veil’s Edge has had a fairly rough time over the last few weeks. Between a string of technical issues and good old real life getting in the way, it is nothing short of a miracle we are all still here. We all knew there would be growing pains and teething issues along the way, hopefully we have seen the worst of them and we can get back to doing what we do best ~ telling stories.

After I announced my intention to step down from being an Admin, a number of people spoke to me personally about continuing with Veil’s Edge. The support and encouragement they offered has been fantastic and, in a way, was exactly what I needed. I am certainly not going to promise it will be a smooth ride, but I am willing to give it a shot. North offered to step down from being an Admin and hand the reins over completely. In doing so, he pointed out to me that I was an integral part of Veil’s Edge. I can only hope he realises that he is every bit as important to this community and to me.

That covers where we are currently situated, but the real question is how to move on from here. I don’t have all the answers, I am going to make mistakes, but I am asking you guys for your assistance ~ and for your patience. This world that we have created is not mine, it belongs to all of us and I need you all to decide which direction we go in from here.

There will always be negative aspects that go along with being an Admin, and I need to develop some better tools for dealing with it. So instead of building more walls and confines around Veil’s Edge and distancing myself further from everyone I share this world with ~ I want to start by restructuring the Staff responsible for maintaining Veil’s Edge. More specifically: the Staff responsible for managing the greater world stories. I recently said that a Community should not be two people doing all the work for twelve, and I honestly believe that. For Veil’s Edge to survive, it needs people who are capable of helping keep the stories and the world alive.

To that end I am inviting expressions of interest for possible Staff positions.
 
For someone to be considered for a Staff position they need to maintain High Activity and Roleplay Participation. Offering Member Support and the ability to Answer Questions are both essential qualities in any Staff member. If you believe you have what it takes and you would like to play a part in ensuring Veil’s Edge continues to prosper, you just need to be able to combine these four qualities with at least two from the list below.
  • Create and Run Events
  • Collaborate Overarching Plots
  • World Building
  • Establishing World Lore
  • Discovery Approval
If you believe you have the time, the skills and the energy to help out, send me a PM.

Where we go from here is up to you guys. I would like to see Veil’s Edge continue and prosper, I believe we have only just scratched the surface of this world and the stories it has to tell.
