Here's how:
All Admins, before even being considered as worthy of the job have to go through a series of special tests over msn messenger to see if they are fit for the job. This includes several games of checkers where the outcome of the game doesn't actually mean they pass, more so their attitude towards the losing player at the end determines how well they are placed.
After this test is over, a meeting is arranged in real life. The Admin in question is to meet a group of thugs that are employed under the banner of the SWRP trust. This is normally done in a classic scenario, for example - An Italian restaurant, the docks, a 1920's cruise ship or something similar. They then have to find their way out and dodge tommy gun fire, although not before finding the special ticket of x-Finley-x, which allows them to get a free flight to Greenland. The interesting twist is that the ticket is made of a thin shard of ice, giving them less than a minute to get to the airport, through customs and through departure. Not many make it this far and you would understand how hard this was if anyones ever fucking flown with stupid fucking British Airways.
Upon arriving in Greenland, a team of hired wildmen with blowguns tranquilise our budding Admin and he is taken to a secret location in Scotland (Greenland is a diversionary tactic, see) and is given a series of tests which are slightly more difficult than the GCSE English curriculum. The interesting twist is that while taking this test, a good friend of the Admins, Jessica Alba, dances naked in front of their desk, thrusting her crotch never any more than 20 inches away from their face. They must complete the hour and a half test in 18 and three quarter seconds. Using a quill.
This, naturally, is intended to narrow down the competition even further. Once done, the budding Admin is then taken to a hospital, where he must stand holding a slipper in the air for 24 hours, reciting the ten commandments repeatedly. What makes this section of the test even harder is that he is facing an open doorway and somewhere in that 24 hour time window, a man in a pink frock will run past it really fast. The Admin must hit that man with the slipper or all his hard work was for nothing.
Obviously now, we have quite a small selection of people. Those few Admins left are then put into a warehouse and locked in with newspapers soaked in petrol wrapped about their fists. They must then utilise the many hobo barrels on fire (cleverly placed to add atmosphere) to ignite their fists and fight to the death. Only one leaves the warehouse alive. The others go to a glue factory and the corpses get put through process. So yes, some of your favourite toys might be glued together by unfortunate SWRP Admins.
Then they gotta like, recite the board's rules and stuff and they get the job. This is true by the way, i'm going to get into a lot of trouble for this. The Admins deny the entire gauntlet existing, you see. Health and safety would have a field day.
There's no placements at the moment, but we'll get back to you when there is. But as you can see, we only hire the best in order to give you the best forum experience we can possibly muster. Here in the SWRP administration department, we take pride in our ridiculously complex forms of social interaction (Billy), politics (Everyone who wants to be in charge), entertainment (duelling), and family values (telling your mom 2 more minutes until she pulls the plug and bans you for a week). So there you have it, its the same with Adminship. We only hire the best so you, the roleplayer, can have the best, most pathetically delivered cliche driven substandard roleplay-thats-not-particularly-a-rolepl ay experience.
I hope this helps clear up why when people ask for Admin, they don't usually get it. Also, congratulations to Greeno who just passed the testing phase recently. He nearly slipped at the Jessica Alba test but managed to keep his hands to himself. On top of this, he toppled the table with an erection and spent the last 11 seconds of the test using his own back as a writing rest. Also, the headshot with the slipper was spectacular, i've never seen a man in a frock utilise ragdoll physics to such an extent. Excellent work. I'd like to be the first to say good job, Greeno. I myself appreciate how hard that phase was.
If we think you're Admin material Mr. T will contact YOU, not the other way around - so please don't ask for Admin.
