The Total War Center's Content Staff is responsible for producing articles of all types and providing valuable services for the site. It has several different roles, although what Content can offer depends on available volunteers.

Overview

Content Staff oversee different things depending on what they are interested in. Some Content Staff work alone, and others in teams. The current list of Staff:


Content is overseen by the Content Hex, an administrator, who can also be called the overall Content Director.

Reasons to Join

Joining the Content Staff on TWC provides members;

  • The opportunity to learn and to grow as a person.
  • The opportunity to work along with other great mates, with the hope to develop/improve skills such as teamwork and reciprocal support.
  • The opportunity to support the whole TWC community.
  • The opportunity to gain reputation and medals as a reward for your work in the Staff.

Members who join Content join a system that has existed in one form or another for over 20 years. If you're not confident you have what it takes, send a message anyway to the Content Hex!

Content Roles

Troy Content Director.png

Content Directors currently supervise the entirety of Content. They consist of the Content Hex by default; an assisting Director may also be brought on, or larger teams may have their own director.

Originally there were many directors and different teams, but the current state of the site has required streamlining to this 1-2 director arrangement.

Content Staff help keep the site alive! They are defined as follows:

Content Artists

Content Artists oversee the site's Graphics Workshop including graphical competitions. They also create official medals, logos, badges and symbols for TWC and on request by its members.

Competition Manager

Competition Managers oversee select TWC subforums and run specific competitions (technically Content Artists may also overlap in this role).

Currently the main offering is the Picture & Video Competitions.

News Team

The News Team posts front page announcements and tweets (social media managers are effectively News Team members). They keep an eye on the forums and report on events of interest, and may also reach out and get news from across the modding and general Total War community.

This is mostly run by the Content Hex in absence of dedicated staff.

Wiki Team

The Wiki Team expands, organizes and updates the TWC Wiki and encourages TWC members to participate in editing the Wiki.

This is run by the Content Hex in absence of dedicated staff.

Inactive Roles

These are official content roles without volunteers, nominally overseen by the Content Hex in absence of committed staff. Anyone interested in seeing TWC offer these services is free to reach out!

Content Writers

Content Writers are members who write articles for the Site Publications.

  • Articles and reviews relating to Total War games and mods are published by the Eagle Standard.
  • The Gamer's Gazette does what the Eagle Standard does, but for non-Total War games and mods.
  • Articles and reviews relating to history are published by the Helios.

They also assist as reviewers for independent articles submitted to Content from outside of Staff.

This is run by the Content Hex in absence of dedicated staff.

Writers' Study and Critic's Quill

The Writers' Study contains local moderators who supervise the Writers' Study, may run related competitions, and may also write for the Critic's Quill publication.

Librarians

Librarians oversee The Scriptorium, a repository of TWC's finest content from its members. They discuss the functioning of the Library, find new articles for its inclusion and administer the Scriptorium Writing Competitions.

Content Emeritus

Those who are Content Emeritus are former Content Staff (often former Content Directors or those in good standing without the time to fill a specific role but show up enough to be a presence) who have left office but are kept around in Staff as advisors.

List of Content Emeritus

Scribe's Quills

Content Staff service is rewarded with the Scribe's Quills awards. These are granted over time based on services in Content such as creating articles/art, coordinating Content events, and managing different Content areas.
