@kaguya Meet @Deleted User, one of the applicants from the 'party. He is the one whos email application I forwarded to you. He expressed interest not just in the 'party but in kolyma as a whole. I already put him in a moderation position on the kolyma server and #kolyma irc chat since it was getting raided, and just wanted you two to meet

Good evening, nice to meet you

Hi Eszett, I've read your mail as kuz said. Thank you for being interested in Kolyma

Kaguya is the owner of gurochan, heyuri, and some others, and one of the highest ranking people in the kolyma group

Of course, it seems like a great opportunity for me and I hope my ability can be used for the company in some sort of capacity.

Should you ever continue here, it would be good if you became acquaintances

1:33 AM

Things have been disorganized recently, I'd like to get everyone in one place and standardize and centralize several things

1:33 AM

one of those was communication, which I posted about recently on a blogpost

I've ran teams before and most of the issues that arise are from poor communication and people misreading intent

1:34 AM

so I know the problem pretty well

I have been more active at moderational parts of the sites I am responsible for these days rather than Kolyma's interiors, but they're closely connected too. Most of Kolyma's userbase come from the BBSes we run. Though the biggest active site is soyjak.party so it seem to have more influence on chat rooms recently

I see. I know kuz eventually plans to move on from moderating the sites himself. Is the intention to hand that side of operations over to you completely, or are you looking for more hands to help run things?

Kaguya is not interested in the site much, his work is beyond that

I see.

Thats more of my goal. But you are potential candidate for a manager of the mods

1:40 AM

Someone mature but not too proffessional that it hinders the operation of a site as inane and silly as soyjak.party

1:40 AM

Which is why you were personally interviewed by me instead of sobot or yuka, and why i wanted you to meet kaguya

1:41 AM

I see you have a potential place higher up in the hiearchy than just a janitor or even a moderator on the site

1:41 AM

However, if you were to become a manager of sorts to the site, you would need to know alot about kolyma and its inside people

1:41 AM

So, its good you get to know my friend early

Then it sounds like I made a good decision to submit my application then. I'm glad we are all taking this with the same level of seriousness.

1:41 AM

I'm in your capable hands.

1:43 AM

If you'd like to know more about me, my background, personal life, etc. then I am an open book for the company.

Soyjak party in particular doesn't interest me much as kuz said, but I also can't have too much on my plate that would prevent me from being as dedicated to the part I am responsible of. That's why kuz wants to have an hierarchy and multiple overseers in Kolyma He wrote about it more detailed at some point, but it may be slightly outdated now

Basically, I expressed some frustration at how top-down things were/are

1:45 AM

I have too much stuff I have to manage personally

1:45 AM

There needs to be some more structured hierarchy in kolyma so things can be done more efficiently

1:45 AM

For that, we need people. I'm always scouting for them

I'd like to read that post if you've got a link

1:47 AM

And I agree. When I worked in Iceland it was a 2-man team for the community of 50k players of the game we were developing, and my boss was simultaneously the head Game Designer and Community Manager.

1:47 AM

Its a lot of work for you to be running the company and then filling in as the head mod of sorts for the site.

By the way Eszett, how old were you? It doesn't really matter, but I am just curious

Not to mention everything else that goes on

1:48 AM

I'm 27, 28 in December.

Alright, and I am a little younger, 26

Well you probably already knew it if you've been using the 'party for a while but im 34

1:50 AM

I got married last year, my wedding aniversary was 5 days ago

1:50 AM

Not the first time but i am ready to stop fooling around

I see, much nicer to be in the company of people more around my age than people in their 40's and 50's

1:51 AM

Much more to talk about.

1:51 AM

I'm due to get married in January but the medical bills are piling up for my woman, so I'm doing what I can to help her out.

You may find kolyma is unlike any company previously worked before. Well.. I dont know how to put it. Its not casual really, but its not stiflingly proffessional.

1:52 AM

Its not a nonprofit but it acts like one

1:52 AM

I want to make money, and the money I make I keep

1:52 AM

But its not the main concern

And most of users are fairly young too, exclusing gurochan (which is very diverse) whenever users hold polls, majority is late 10s/early 20s I don't know better about soyjak party, but they seem equally young too

I am very wealthy and just pour money into it to make it go

I make a decent amount in the state I live in, but its difficult to juggle my bills and then her chemotherapy bills after that, so I find myself looking for work every now and again.

1:54 AM

Last year I had 3 jobs, then I got out of the military and Solid Clouds decided to go with a German instead of me due to issues scheduling meetings, and then I was left working one part time job at XPO Logistics.

1:55 AM

Since then I've managed my way into full-time and I'm being training to work as a Supervisor for my shift, but its still $3 a day for lunch.

1:55 AM

I like to work and it seems a waste to not use the skillset I have in, hence my application.

1:56 AM

The semi-professional setting will be great though. I'm tired of having to wear a uniform everywhere.

Good.. good. Once I finish my organization, I am going to interview a bunch of people whove been waiting, and try to make some resources that define what exactly is being done so everyone knows

1:58 AM

I will get to you sooner or later. For now we can simply focus on the 'party together, but bigger things lie in wait

Very well, no problems here.
