Hey folks! We’re now opening up applications for our London Guild, which is located in the Elgin/Middlesex/Lambton/Chatham-Kent/Essex area of Ontario. This guild is one of our oldest and largest and has incredible potential to grow even further. It comes with a very active local player base and receives visiting players from other guilds nearby. On average it has 400 to 500 guild specific players active in the database and an average of 100+ players prelogging per event. With our upcoming expansion into the United States, this guild is in a perfect location to take advantage of cross-border players. The process below explains how you can apply to become its guildmaster.To apply, send an email with your application to comments@larp.ca with the following questions answered:
- Name of applicants in your group
- History of LARPing, both in general and specifically at Underworld
- Staff experience in Ralinwood or other Underworld Guilds
- Where you live
- Location you’d prefer to run events
- Special experience or skills that would help be a great Guildowner
- General plans for the guild - what would you change?
We will keep the applications open for 2 weeks, closing at midnight on August 22nd. We’re a little flexible in this deadline and given we’re not running events right now we’re happy to extend this period if you’re interested in applying but can’t get an application package together in this time period. We'd rather wait a little longer and pick the right GM than rush it and miss out. At the end of that week we will review the submissions and remove any that we believe are not a good fit for this guild. We will then require the remaining applicants to sign a nondisclosure agreement. Those that do will be sent a copy of our current guild franchise agreement and the guildowner’s guide to review. At this stage a list of applicant names will be posted publicly and we will collect feedback from the playerbase for 2 weeks. At the end of those 2 weeks, each applicant group will be interviewed and given a chance to ask questions. Finally, a candidate will be chosen and given the opportunity to sign the contract.
We will be asking you questions on the following qualities:
1) Sense of Long Game Balance
2) Discretion
3) Safety of your customers
4) Saying No / Accepting loss for the betterment of the game.
5) Prioritizing New Players
Linked below is an example of a great application when we were looking for a Edmonton / Kalidor GM. Not everybody has to apply to this standard but it's a level of professionalism we liked to see.
