What time do you usually play online: I am mostly online on weekends at varying times. Sometimes I am also online mid-week when my schedule suddenly clears up. Due to the nature of my work I can't guarantee any consistent timeframes, but I do try to come online whenever I can. That being said, I am in the discord chats everyday and I respond quickly.
Are you regularly on our voice communication? Yes.
Do you talk on our voice communication? Yes, I enjoy joining the conversations, and I have conducted several tours already, some of which led to a couple hours of miscellaneous conversation afterwards.
Why would you like to be a Guide? I am a major fan of LotR lore, and I find great enjoyment in sharing my knowledge, showing people around our marvellous server and talking to them about it, and about Tolkien's works. I believe that Guides are the first kind of team-members encountered by newly-joined Adventurers, and thus the face of the community. It is a Guide's job to welcome these newcomers, help them, and guide them towards becoming more active members of the community. This work is of paramount importance in my opinion, as it help draw in new talent for the future development of MCME; it would be a pleasure and an honour to take up this role.
What makes a great Guide according to you? The first and foremost quality of a Guide, in my opinion, should be their approachability. Guides are there to provide assistance, answer questions, give tours, host mini-games and make the new people entering the community, as well as older members, feel at home. To that end, a Guide needs to be kind, patient, forthcoming and enthusiastic - it is not easy to answer the same question for a hundredth time with the same enthusiasm, but it is paramount. A Guide must always greet people with a (virtual) smile and strive to be as helpful to them as possible, for they are the ones to give Adventurers the first impression of what the community is really like.
A Guide should also have a good understanding of the community and of the server, as well as the lore upon which the map is built, and they should have the willingness and desire to share their knowledge, and guide people around - informing newcomers of the server's policies and traditions, teaching them how to get around, and indeed giving them tours as well.
