On January 3rd, I made a blog announcing that the current Tengaged Advisory Council would be removed and replaced with a new version that would primarily be focused on special events. In that blog, we asked Tengaged members to apply to become either Event Coordinators or a member of the Social Media team. Applications closed on the 5th and over the last week or so, the applications were being reviewed. Late applications were not accepted.
I'd like to first start off by announcing that several members of the former Advisory Council will be staying on to help out in various roles. These members are PureEssence, Slice, Washed_Ravioli, and SmoothStalker12. The four of them alongside the moderators were responsible for reviewing the applications.
Let me first start off by saying that most of the applicants were reviewed anonymously (after being run through me). I say most because names were excluded from some, but some identifying factors may have stayed in since I didn't remove content of the application. They were all assembled in a Discord channel and voted on. From there, we assembled the ones who had the most positive reactions to them and those people will make up the team. I personally did not cast a vote on any of the applications to avoid any accusations of bias since I had received them all.
IF YOUR APPLICATION WAS REJECTED, I first would ask you to read the paragraph above (assuming some of you will skip straight to the list below) to fully understand the process that we took. We received plenty of applications, especially for the Events Coordinator positions. In my view, there were many applicants who were more than capable/qualified for the positions, but it was entirely based on the effort they put into their applications. From what I can see from who has been chosen, the more effort that was put into the application, the better the result. All of those chosen had provided plenty of ideas for new games/events and reasons why they felt they were capable. There will be future opportunities to get involved as an Events Coordinator or other roles we establish throughout the time, so stay tuned for those.
With all of that being said, here is the official list of the new Tengaged Advisory Council. Invites to the Discord server will go out soon.
