Beekin waves his paw at you, "Hi, I'm
Beekin the Help Dragon!"
"I am the Prime in charge of helping
players with many questions or troubles they have in
Furcadia." Beekin smiles, "I can't do that all
myself, so I invite knowledgeable players to help me out.
These furres are called Beekin Helpers. They are volunteer
helpers -- furres just like all others -- who give a bit of
their time to help other members of our Furcadian community.
We started the Beekin Help Program to give everyfurre an
opportunity to help others, show off what they can do, and
learn a bit along the way. You obtain training and experience
that will help you in your real life, as well as in Furcadia.
Beekin Helpers receive a badge so that others know who has
completed the training program, and they have access to game
commands that make helping easier."
Beekin looks serious for a moment,
"It's important to note that you are not compensated in
any other way. Your rewards are the chance to help -- the
training and the good feeling you get knowing you are making
your community a better place. We want helpers with positive
attitudes that give Furcadia an air of friendliness. If that's
not right for you, we suggest you do not fill out an
application. Make sure you read the volunteer
agreement before you go any farther, as well. We do not
ask you to work any particular hours or times, it’s up to
you to decide when you are feeling like helping. If you are
still interested, read on!"
Beekin sits down, wrapping his purple
spiked tail around himself, "There's a lot of ways to
help in the program, and some groups require more or less
experience and knowledge. You can read about them to decide
which is the best for you. There's the general help group
called the Helpers, where you can ask about
anything and they'll help or direct you to someone who can.
There's the Welcomers, who make new furres feel welcome and
show them around. The Guardians help with troubles from other
players, and Pixels and Masons help with dream and patch
making questions as well as creating some things to be used in
the game. The Scribes take care of the web pages and forum
moderation, and the Bugge Hunters find glitches in the game
and test out new things, so the players get better working
features. To help support and train all these groups we have
the Mentors and Teachers. Lastly, we have the Beekin Council
which are the furres that help run various Beekin
groups." Beekin takes a big breath.
"We have over 2,000 Beekin helpers at
this time, but there's always room for more. So if you are
interested, read up some more, make sure you have the
knowledge, experience, temperament, and time in game -- check
out the applications!" |
