Opticraft Prom - Plans for the future

[Larkosaurus]

Hey All!

So, after the huge success and positive feedback from just about everybody that went, we want to make this a yearly thing.
Maybe not even yearly, like every 6 months.

(The following is quite long, go to the green below to skip it)
Since we are planning on making this a big thing, I want to get a team of people that would be staff. The jobs would include;
Searching for our next amazing venue, maybe helping to decorate and other things but mainly sharing opinions and being consultants for things like the theme of the next one and etc. This would be a great job but it isn't paid or anything.
The main pro of being prom staff is getting a sneak peek of it all before everyone else. If you are interested, put an app in below and I will read it and approve/disapprove.

Other things;
I'm thinking that when the next Prom comes along, we give people a month or longer to make a venue, and the Prom staff look at each one and pick a venue to host the next Prom. The prize would be something like 10k and of course the pride of having your building amaze all the Prom guests.

Prom Staff Application Template;
(If the application doesn't feel that relaxed, don't worry! Being Staff is super fun as last years staff will tell you)

The BIG Plan!:
We, here at Prom! networks have been working hard to bring you...
Halloween Prom! This is very early days, so the best date we can give you is in October somewhere.
For those of you that want to build a venue and win 10k, here are the requirements;
Must have a big dance floor
To get to the dance, guests have to complete a walk through a haunted house (Optional Parkour in the house)
Must contain pumpkins/Jack 'o' lanterns
Must have a /home so guests can actually come

Ideas;
Make Pumpkins pop out of the walls using pistons
Parkour in the haunted house entrance

Please, please, please make a venue for the next Prom! because; It is a chance to win money, you will get a special mention and nearly the whole of Opticraft will likely come. Also, you will get special privileges, such as presenting Prom! King and Queen

Do you think you are well known/respected by the community?:  I'm a mod, so everyone naturally hates me.  

Why would you like to be Prom Staff?:  Not sure if it's staff per-say, as to volunteer myself as DJ for the events.  I do on-air DJing for a legally registered internet radio station, which means I have access to a massive music library and the ability to do live streaming to thousands of users.  I've recently gotten permission to use the "test stream" for events that take place when other radio shows are scheduled, so I would only need a few weeks notice (to schedule my life) prior to the event.  All players would need in order to tune in is Windows Media Player, or almost any other player capable of opening a URL, and a link to the test stream which I would provide on signs at the event.

Ok people, now the applications are getting harder...
If you don't get in, don't worry it's not you.. It's me (making security tighter)

Do you think you are well known/respected by the community?: Yes, Considering i am a moderator

Why would you like to be Prom Staff?: Because i noticed that during both of the prom sessions, that people went off and griefed the prom venue, so i believe that as a member of staff i would be able to pretty much extinguish grief at the prom event, Thanks Very Much

[Xeadin]

With the member world coming out soon, you might be able to find more room on your next venue, as long as room does remain.

A suggestion would be to make some sort of indoor space that can be easily modifiable for different venues and/ or for different themes for a certain venue, such as the Opticraft Prom.

[SalasCraft]

Another suggestion is getting PS Stones for the venue. To prevent griefing and such.

The 9pm AEST prom was awful, sorry but it was. Need proper planning for it, not just throwing different timezones in at the last minute. =\ I swear no one was in charge. Nor did anyone know it was on.
