Introduction
The NavalClash network, founded by Droopystarfish and Sidewalk, is the official successor to the immensely popular (but long dead) NavalBattleZone (NBZ) server.
We opened shortly after navalbattlezone died, with the official release date being May of 2017. Ever since, we have worked with the original coder, and our own developers to upgrade and maintain the custom plugins that allow for players to build tanks, ships, submarines, aircraft, helicopters, and many more vehicles. Vehicles are built in a creative shipyard, and can be spawned into the survival world easily by all players. This leads to large faction vs faction and crew vs crew vehicle battles, using our custom weapons. Some of our custom weapons include cursor-aim cannons, guided torpedoes, anti-aircraft guns, depth-charges, bombs, and custom gun models.
Our community alone has over 10,000 unique joins, but averages out at about 20-25 players on normal times. With the collaboration of youtubers such as CraftyFoxe and garret2by4, we have had player counts as high as 70.
There have been lots of hurdles, including a rogue dev who stole our code and tried opening his own server, but we've managed to survive for almost a full year and plan on staying open for many years to come. Server is on great hardware that is paid for out of pocket, supplemented by donations. Our donation shop is eula friendly and not pay to win.
What we are looking for
We have tried hiring within our community. It's been an utter disaster. Coming up shortly we will be implementing one of our largest updates yet. Alongside these updates, we will be doing a large staff reshuffle. Only the most qualified on our current team will remain.
All of our staff are required to be articulate, resourceful, and mature. Certain members of our community can become very toxic and it is imperative that all staff we hired be capable of dealing with the situation without bias or losing their temper. All staff hired are required to be fairly active (15 - 20 hours/week minimum, exceptions can be made) and will have to immerse themselves in the community. You must be able to create a forum account, must have a secure premium minecraft account, and must have a secure discord account with a working microphone. We won't always require you to talk to us, but outright refusal to ever speak is a deal-breaker, and it's a huge bonus if you are willing to regularly talk to the team and the players over discord. The last but most important requirement is trustworthiness. As part of our team, we will be placing immense trust in you. As such, the upper administration needs your full trust. We do not want staff who will undermine our authority or question us in any public venue, including ingame, discord, and on the forums. Your opinion is valued, but don't question us in front of the players. DM us or use the discord staffchat. Loyalty is a necessity!
As part of this shuffle, we will be looking for the following positions to be filled. Staff ranks on our server have unique responsibilities due to the unique nature of navalclash.
All staff hired externally will undergo training to learn about the complexities of the server and how to use their commands, as well as vehicle and weapon systems.
Helpers
Responsibilities: Answering questions, being active on all venues (discord, ingame, forums), helping new players, have intricate knowledge about vehicle and weapon systems in the game, reporting rule breakers directly to moderators, gathering evidence, and just having an active presence on the server. Kicking and muting troublesome players.
Requirements: All helpers must be at least 14 years of age, have a microphone, and write a paragraph or two about their personality and what they can bring to the table for the server. Must also meet the universal requirements. (Mature, articulate, active, loyal)
Basic worldedit knowledge is a bonus.
We are hiring four helpers.
(0/4 hired)
Moderators
Responsibilities: Answering questions, kicking, muting, temp-banning, and banning rulebreakers, saving schematic backups for players in the shipyard using worldedit, cleaning the ocean using our OC tools, pasting schematics, flipping, rotating, moving, and diagnosing player-made vehicles at the request of players using worldedit, monitoring the forums (locking posts, enforcing forum rules), monitoring the discord server, having an active presence on all platforms, and having knowledge of weapon systems and vehicle systems used on the server.
Requirements: Must be at least 15 years of age, have a microphone, have the necessary characteristics, worldedit experience, moderation experience, and submit a few paragraphs about your personality and what you will be bringing to our community.
(0/3 hired)
Admins
We are looking for 1 new admin. The responsibilities can vary - you will still do everything that the moderators do, but with additional responsibilities. We are really looking for a special type of person to fill this position. Should probably be at least 16 years of age, and have experience with team and community management. All the other requirements listed throughout this post are a necessity. We want someone dedicated for this position, and if you don't think you can handle it, please apply as a moderator or a helper.
(0/1 hired)
So yeah. Please let us know below if you are interested in applying, and send applications via mc-market mail to Sidewalk. It's unpaid, but the job is very satisfying and letters of recommendation will be written for exemplary service. It's also not all work - you will be able to enjoy the many different entertaining aspects of our server, as thousands of players have over the years. (NBZ ran for almost 5 years before NavalClash took over!)
Feel free to ask any questions, and if you have concerns, I encourage you to pm me. Looking forward to hearing from interested candidates.
You are free to explore our community beforehand, but mentioning your application or even that there is one will disqualify you from the position.
