Firewatch is a role for a self selecting group looking to step up and self moderate the community across the Astral Realm. It is open for any and all Campers who wish to offer a helping hand in upholding the Vibes next to the Standards of Excellence across all facets of the Realm, from the Discord server to Minecraft and all the various services made available to Campers.
All Campers who meet the following prerequisites are welcome to join Firewatch!
If you meet these requirements, submit your application by using the following command: /firewatch join
Your submission will then be reviewed by staff. In the case your request is denied, you will be notified privately by Staff explaining why.
Once you are approved to join the Firewatch, you will receive the "Firewatch" role. This includes a unique color for your name along with a separate category in the active user list. Additionally, Firewatch members have access to a private channel to interface with Camp Counselors.
As a Firewatch member, you are electing to be an upstanding member of the Realm in an effort to self moderate this community. What follows briefly outlines areas of focus for Firewatch members.
Campers already have a storied history welcoming in new campers as they landed in the now archived #new-arrivals. As services have continued to grow and skills in the Camp Game expand, it's easy for newcomers to get overwhelmed in the expanding depths of the Astral Realm. In addition to directing new Campers to spaces like #orientation-room, Firewatch also sets an example for guiding Campers through the ins and outs of the Discord server and the variety of services available throughout the Realm.

Members of Firewatch have been a part of the community long enough to know what the general Vibe of the server and various services are. Firewatch is responsible for keeping a watchful eye for Campers who may be bringing down the Vibe.
Most issues avoid escalation with compassion and a gentle "nudge" as a reminder. If things escalate or become repeating habits, Counselors can step in as needed.
If you have already been a member of the community for awhile, it is advised to refresh yourself on documents in the #orientation-room and the Standards of Excellence.
A private channel has been established for Firewatch members to directly interface with Counselors as a means of keeping a close eye on the state of the Vibes. The aim is for everyone to work together as this community exapnds by making sure all voices are being heard. So report on any questions, concerns or behaviors occuring around Camp. Equally important is collecting feedback about Camp Services as they are rolled out and tweaked.
It is amazing to see people from all over and all walks of life coming together to create a space for each other that we can all safely Vibe in. A big thank you to anyone who takes the time to help Make Sure things continue that way, whether members of Firewatch or not.
