Hi, the appliers of The Variants.Universe Admins Application!
We're looking for the most skilled, active, creative participants. Therefore, the questions will be divided into 4 parts (Part.I Creating/Feedback, Part.II Addition of Variants, Part.III Testing/Submissions Judging, Part.IV Others), total 150 points. 100/150 should will be passed ig, but depends on yall's performance in the application.
Possible Q&As:
Q: Where do you apply: A: DM @yu-x897. Post one message per each part!( Edit: or, you can wait for a few days and write in a sheet. This will keep your answers being semi-anonymous. ) Note: Please apply, these questions are easy.
Q: Who will decide the admins? A: All 5 reformers, include all SAs of our clubs.
Q: Can I participate if I'm a tester in others' club (Custom Troll Variants, Custom Variants, etc) A: Sure!
Q: What are the standard of the application? If I write very few words for each question, will my application get passed? A: As long as you express your understanding in custom variants well, the length of answers will not effect much.
Part.I Creating/Feedback
1. There're multiple ways of making custom variants, for examples, straightforward variants revising/testing or multiple-versions revising/testing. List at least 2 ways of them(in your words) and provide their advantages (and) disadvantages. (8')
2. List at least 2 common features that often make variants enjoyable, and explain why. (8')
3. What should be considered as a concept? For example, should certain rules set, or certain position be considered as a concept? (4') Should multiple-concepts exist in one variant? Why? (8')
(1). Try your best to give feedback to this variant. (4') (2). List at least 2 issues of the variant. If you're creating this variant, how would you fix them? (8')
5.Give this variant feedback. Note that your feedback doesn't required to make the variant acceptable, however, you purpose is try to improve the creator's creating skills with your feedback. (10')
Part.II Variants Addition
6. What features should an: (1). Accepted Custom Position (2). Accepted NCV (3). Accepted WoF have? (12')
7. Are there any irreconcilable and significant differences between NCVs and WoFs, or it only depends on the Community's needs? Why do you think so? (14')
8. For ViI (Variants in Imagination) Variants, what should be the common elements the accepted ones may have? Why do you think so? (14')
9. List an issue of SBV Variants Addition System, and give us solution. (5')
10. Provide an event of variants addition that may activate the Community more. (5')
(1.) Observe the variant above. Give out at least 2 quick conclusion based on your self-analysis, and explain why. (10') (2.) Do this Variant worth a '+1'?, if not, point out at least 2 major issues of this variant. If yes, how would you convince others? (10') (3.) How would you improve this variant? (6') Write a verdict draft for this variant. (9')
(1.) Is this variant balanced? (hint: analyze yourself) If not, which side is better(Red/Yellow), and why? (10') (2.) Analyze the material elements of the variant and try to give your values for those pieces. (5')
Part.IV Others
13. What would you do for the Community, if is chosen as an admin?
