@shadows_eth Democracy is, unfortunately, debatable at this point. We’re just operating on a bunch of executive orders with no questions asked by congress.
@TheOfficialA7X Why don’t M&G tokens from S1 come with a +1? The experience is a little less enjoyable now knowing my wife won’t be able to be there to see my reaction

Job Description:
The role of the Creatives Team is to create videos that will reach people who might not know about Ascension but will LOVE playing it and entice them to give it a try. As such, we’re looking for someone who genuinely loves Ascension and wants to share that love with the community through making banger videos.
As a member of the Creatives Team, you will work both solo and with other members of the team to produce Ascension video content. Examples include:
- Trailers (youtube.com/watch?v=H8e2AP…)
- Class Highlights (youtube.com/watch?v=g0NkjX…)
- Update Videos (youtube.com/watch?v=zt7ebN…)
- Funny Memes (youtube.com/watch?v=dEUdl-…)
You’ll be expected to know how to:
- Ask Questions
- Be curious and interested in learning
- Conceptualize a Video worth making
- Learn to scan the Ascension Environment to figure out videos/information that the community needs
- Determine what the highest value thing you can create would be
- Write up a proposition for the kind of video you want to make and why you want to make it
- If approved, write a script for the video using language that as many people as possible can understand and be excited by
- Make a shot list line-by-line of what sorts of actual shots the video will have
- Recording the video using in-game camera tools that will be taught to you
- Learn how to use the Warcraft Media Tool
- Learn how to get the right kinds of shots
- “What is the clearest way I can visually show off what’s being talked about?”
- Taking that raw footage into Adobe Premiere Pro and assembling it into a GREAT video
- Using other editing tools to add transitions, effects, and polish that make the video stunning
- Add transitions
- Get timing right
- Choose the right music
- Manipulate audio
Sometimes you will be making an entire video solo, and you’ll need to single-handedly bring it from concept to completion.
Other times you will be working with the rest of the team to produce a larger, more complex video such as a Seasonal Overview.
Creating videos is an inherently iterative process: the best candidate will recognize that ALL videos go through multiple iterations as different people help refine it. They will be committed to making the best possible idea as good as it can be, and will be able to receive, discuss, and implement feedback without any problems.
Role Requirements:
- 40+ hours a week
- Being in the Creatives Team Discord while working
- Familiarity with the Adobe Suite
- Our videos are created with Adobe Premiere Pro, and are often passed between members of the team, so you must be able to work in that
- Familiarity with any editing software will likely translate

@shadows_eth@DeathbatsClub Now this is peak fan interaction. Not just interaction, either. Other bands should absolutely be taking notes and at the very least be learning about the space.
