Hi all,

We are going to be holding auditions for a new player post in Mist Harbor: The Minstrel of Mist Harbor.

The Minstrel will be expected to:
* - Put on one scheduled performance for the town every other month, at minimum. This performance is meant to be primarily for entertainment, which can take on many different forms. The performances are not required to be any specific medium.
* - Get/Maintain citizenship in FWI for the length of time that they remain in the post.
* - Serve as the point of contact for news and events pertaining to Mist Harbor, from an in-character perspective. Traditionally, minstrels traveled from town to town and gave performances, but also shared the news from the local towns, spreading word of what's going on. They would literally be "the" person to see about things of this nature, and would be expected to remain up to date so that they could ably serve that role.
* - Understand that this post will be on a trial basis for 6 months, at which time the decision will be made whether to continue them in that role or to seek a replacement.

The Minstrel will receive:
* - The Postname Title: Minstrel of Mist Harbor

The auditions will function as follows:
All who are interested should send an email to GS4-QUILIC@Play.net, indicating their interest, and including their account name and character name. Those players will receive, via email, a prompt 24 hours before the audition itself, and will be expected to use that time to craft their performance. As above, this performance can take on many forms, but it must address/incorporate the prompt, and it should be crafted for entertainment value. The auditions themselves will be held on Sunday, January 30th at 4pm EST in Mist Harbor (location TBD, but announced well ahead of time).

Emails from interested parties should be received no later than midnight EST on January 23rd.

Thanks,

Hi Q,

Couple questions:

-I know the location will be announced ahead of time. Will it be somewhere we can check out too or at least see a room description?

-If the location is a stage/pavilion/theater something similar, can we assume there are stage elements (lanterns, curtains, etc)

-Is there a time limit to the performance? In the past something like Bardfest has been 10 mins and under.

-(Dunno if you can share this) Is the prompt going to be a word, two words? A theme?

-Are there any rules to the performance at all? As far as it being an original piece that hasn't been performed before?

-Is there criteria the judges will be looking for in each performance to determine the best candidate for the job?

The citizenship requirement has been removed from this position.

Just to make sure people know, this post doesn't seem limited to Bards only... seems to be open to any profession.
