Trivia is the Outpost 10F team dedicated to providing high quality knowledge-based Entertainment events. The Trivia Team, a part of Outpost 10F’s Entertainment department holds regular in-chat events (called “Trivias”) in which members can compete for points based on knowledge or funniness and win a special rank title for one month, in addition the Trivia Wins are being added to their Dossier. At the end of the year, the members who have collected the most points win a rank and award image for one month.

   2. What does Trivia have to offer which other teams don't?

Outpost 10F’s Trivia team offers the best in contribution to Outpost 10F as well as a fun, friendly work atmosphere and the opportunity to show just how much you know about your chosen topic(s). Trivia is one of Outpost 10F’s most visible and important teams with weekly events and constant attention from all areas of the community.

   3. What are the career prospects with Trivia?

Trivia has an excellent record of members who have gone on to bigger (but not necessarily better!) things. Past Trivia members include (but are not limited to!): CL8 Brady (ST Sector Commander), CL7 KittyKat (Previous Director of Marketing), CL7 Pace (Previous director of ISA), CL7 Shaker (Previous 2nd Assistant Manager of Entertainment), CL7 Hobbie (Current SW Sector Commander) and CL7 QD (Current ENT Senior Manager). As well as this, many of our members have gone on to other positions (at higher ranks!) within Entertainment and Outpost 10F.

   4. Does being in Trivia put me in good stead for a promotion/award?

Yes! The vast majority of those who join Trivia leave with at least one promotion and probably an award under their belt. It’s easy to do a good job in Trivia, just not so easy to shine. But, for those who do, they’re certainly rewarded!

   5. OK! I’m sold. I want to join Trivia - where do I apply?

Trivia, being a part of Entertainment has its applications dealt with alongside Gaming and Special Operations. As such, you can only apply to Trivia at Entertainment’s central application form located at theENT-page. All you have to do is fill out the form and select “Trivia” for your preferred team. Then, we’ll look over your application and get back to you!

   6. I’m Star Wars affiliated; can I join a division other than Capella?

Yup! There are no restrictions on which division you join. While, in general, we’ll put you in the same division as your affiliation, if we’re looking for members in another division and you have knowledge in that area, you may be assigned to that division instead.

   7. I’m Star Trek affiliated; can I join a division other than Phoenix?

Yup! There are no restrictions on which division you join. While, in general, we’ll put you in the same division as your affiliation, if we’re looking for members in another division and you have knowledge in that area, you may be assigned to that division instead.

   8. I’m Fantasy affiliated; can I join a division other than Gemini?

Yup! There are no restrictions on which division you join. While, in general, we’ll put you in the same division as your affiliation, if we’re looking for members in another division and you have knowledge in that area, you may be assigned to that division instead.

   9. Do I get to choose which division I work with?

Yes and no. While you will have input into which division you’re assigned to, we may feel you’d be better suited in a different division. This will always be run by you first though.

   10. I don't agree to the ENT contract. What do I do?

Unfortunately, agreement to the ENT contract is mandatory. If you do not agree to the ENT contract, your application will not be processed and you will not be considered for positions. This is unlikely to change in the future.

   11. I made a mistake on the application form. What do I do?

Simply submit another application form. If you use the same member name, we’ll just delete your old application and use the new one instead.

   12. What will I be asked in the interview?

If, after consideration, we decide that you’re a candidate for a position in Trivia, you will be contacted for an interview. This interview lets us get to know you better before we make a final decision. During the interview, you’ll be asked a few simple questions about your life at OTF and about how you’d be as a Trivia minion.

   13. Can the interview be conducted via IM?

Yes. However, for ease of chatsaving, if possible, we’ll conduct the interview in one of the minor OTF chatrooms (D’Deridex or Rotarran) with a level 5 force field in place to prevent interruptions.

   14. How much weight does my interview carry in determining if I'm accepted or not?

While it’s not the be all and end all, an interview does often mean the difference between acceptance to the team or not. It can make a heck of a lot of difference.

   15. How do I know if my application was successful or not?

As soon as we’ve made a decision on your application, we will contact you. Usually, this will be via email.

   16. I applied a few days ago but haven’t had a reply yet. What do I do?

We’re humans too! We do have (as unlikely as it may seem!) lives outside of Outpost 10F. Give us some time to think it over! Just sit back and wait!

   17. I applied over a month ago but haven’t had a reply yet. What do I do?

Contact the Trivia team leader via email. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

   18. A long time has passed since I applied. What should I do?

Contact the Trivia team leader as soon as possible.

   19. I applied, but was accepted elsewhere. What happens?

If we decide to contact you for an interview, just let us know that you’ve been accepted. Your application will be cancelled. Alternatively, we may notice that you’ve been accepted elsewhere anyway and will cancel your application. It’s always good to contact us either way just so that we know for sure.

   20. I'm CL2 but really wish to join, can I email the SM?

No. To join the Entertainment department and Trivia, you must be CL3. If we feel you’re a must-have, however, we’ll invite you to apply of our own accord.

   21. Is there a maximum rank I must be or could Admiral Maxwell apply for Trivia?

Of course not! Anyone can apply for a position in Trivia. However, note that if you outrank the Senior Manager of Entertainment, you will not be eligible for promotion due to departmental structure guidelines.

   22. Someone applied after I did and they've already been accepted. Why?

Some applications that Trivia receives jump out at us and say “Yes! I’m the perfect minion!” These members will be accepted as quickly as possible. That’s not to say that you can’t be the perfect minion too! Just that you’ll have to wait your turn a little longer.
