We are opening a call for those interested in becoming volunteer coders to assist with maintaining and expanding the features of our game. Due to the complex nature of our codebase, we require applicants with strong programming experience in low/high-level languages. Creativity is also highly sought-after, with the ability to think outside the box when developing new systems and processes.

Volunteer coders will be promoted to a Celani role, and will receive most of the same basic training as other Celani. Said applicants can additionally choose to learn the more rp-centric mechanics in more depth, opening the option to eventually take on an IC God role. Due to the sensitive and potentially advantageous knowledge that comes with this position, it is not possible for coders to later return to their mortal characters. This specifically only comes into play after an applicants training is complete: while during the celani process this does not apply.

How to apply
------------

1- Read HELP CELANI in full. These are things that you will need to know before you apply.

2- Due to the legal obligations of this position, we require all applicants to be 18 years of age or older. We prefer experienced and mature candidates with at least 500 hours of playtime under their belt.

3- Send a plain-text email to makarios@achaea.com with the following information:
- Your real name.
- Your real age.
- Your regular occupation and employer (if you're a student, let us know what school you attend, and what you major in).
- Your characters in Achaea, and a brief list of their accomplishments.
- How many hours per week you feel you can contribute to Achaea.
- A paragraph or two outlining your coding background, what your language proficiencies are, as well as any other skills you feel that you bring to the table (*nix admin / SQL etc.).

Deadlines
---------
Applications must be received by 23:59 GMT on Sunday, February 18th (that's 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific, and 11am (Mon) Sydney).
If you have any further questions, feel free to drop Nicola or myself a message or email or post it in the Coder applicant Q and A thread on the forums.
