Now about the task.

This is an interesting task, but I have some ideas.

Leadership - The fight between Kilah and Silver's group sort of inspired this. I agree with Zarbon when he said that staff doesn't akways get straightforwards tasks. So, what it would be is, the staff gives a difficult task that would require much work to complete (like Lucifer's 3 day-12 page RPG). Then, halfway through the task, the staff would throw in a twist, like they have to finish it sooner, or the person who is working the hardest/leader advances automatically and isn't allowed to work on the project anymore. This will show who is the leader in the group and who can take charge and get the job done under pressure. An individual test could be sticking each applicant as a Mod for 3 or so days. Real-situation testing is probably the most effective.

Planning - The point of this task is to test the creative mind of the applicant. Flubbs would need creative people. As Bardock said, "The difficulty for creating a task is to try and maintain a distance between the tasks that have already been given in previous competitions." Possible ideas are coming up with an OOC game, maybe like an Alliance team game. Also, this could tie into leadership, if the applicants had to run the "game" for a bit of time. Others could be revamping the CCC by adding new items. If it's a team task, they could create a team saga or new addition to the site. This is difficult because there are so many things you can do. Therefore, this makes it hard to get a really great and unique one.

Updating/Moderating - Tasks here could be like a quiz or survey. The staff could have questions from their previous experience and see how the applicants would handle it. Would their method work? That is what this tests. Bardock said, "A sample task for this would be to give an Idol a bunch of these different types of problems and given a limited time in order to accomplish them all and accomplish them correctly." I agree and this could be another possibility.

Another possible category is People Skills. However, its hard to test this. A team task could test this and see how well the people in the group can cope with each other. Or they could always try to deal with Kirano . . .

Open to any ideas here, if you guys like this. Maybe we could combine this into one of the other tasks. Combining all of our minds is the key to this task.
