Hi all, we're here to announce the rework of the Text Community Endorsed Storyteller system (CEST).

As a baseline, text CESTs must:

  • Have STed a minimum of 6-7 text games in the server
  • Have high storytelling skill for basic and advanced scripts & games
  • Be upstanding members of the community
  • Have the ability to handle game related social conflicts
  • Must have consistent positive feedback in the feedback form. This does not have a set number, as we factor in the length of text games and the low response rate.

When a mod feels like you have met this criteria, usually prompted by having consistent positive feedback in the form, we will put up an internal vote based on these metrics.

If you plan on going for CEST, feel free to let us know, so we can pay special attention, and give you addition in-depth feedback if requested.

Happy STing!

This looks pretty good to me! I do wonder what you mean by “complex” games though, should an ST be able to handle stuff like lizards/amne games to become a CEST?

I don't have a super satisfying answer to that, although I can state that lizards/amne will simply not be mandatory to get CEST . It's more that there needs to be variety in what you're storytelling at some level. If you've only STed base 3 games, you won't be able to get the role. If you've STed some base 3 games, some medium and high complexity customs, and maybe like 1 experimental game, you'll be in the clear, as long as every other criteria is met.

Please don’t force yourself to run a script you hate just to get the role!

I can't think of anything I disagree with here. This list of changes looks really good to me!

Question - at what point does an ST start to get considered for being CEST? In live it's "when they get 20 positive feedback forms", but taking the hard limit of 20 away (which, for clarity, I think is a good change) means that it's somewhat unclear at what threshold and which criteria people become eligible for getting CEST.

The threshold of feedback will be replaced with a threshold of games run. That’s not been set yet but like Hannah said we’re currently thinking 6-7ish. But if hypothetically you’ve run that many games and the mod review of your games and feedback shows that you haven’t met the other criteria yet, you can continue to run games until you do. Also, you should have some feedback and it should be almost all positive, you just don’t need to grind for ridiculous numbers of feedback forms anymore.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!

@sour plank the new requirements for text cest ^

given that HoF is pretty volatile (since it's a popular vote) and usually doesn't reflect how good the ST is (there have been badly-run HoF games before, and I'm sure there are well-run non-HoF games), i'm not sure it'd be too helpful to use as a criterion for CEST?
