2014 - AHC 1 - Nicholas Lambaunas
Introduction and Background:
Hi! and thank you for opening this application to read it, I do appreciate the time being taken. I will try to keep this to the point and informative, as well as provide the occasional snicker (Maybe the fact I apped already accomplished that :P)
I've been with One World by Night a little less than 3 years. In that time I have had a wealth of experience delivered on me through the various wonderful friends I've made over these years. Old World of Darkness genre has came a long way since I started playing as a mid-teen in NYC, it's been quite a thrill to see how this game has shaped over the decades. Simply amazing, we are a confederacy of nerds, 1,000s strong pretending to be power mongering vampires, cranky beasts of rage who protects a world no one else loves, the creepy uncles we call mages who only know "reality bad touch", and our poor poor fae..it's not that I have nothing for them, they been through too much or one of the other icky dark flavors that make the world of darkness that some of us crave to play.
After joining the One World By Night I spent a year as a player and then jumped into other roles ranging from guest ASTing, regularly ASTing, orienting new players, growing our player base, editing packets and getting to no our community as a whole. Not just this person or that person. I've never turned away a fellow gamer who I haven't met and wants to chit chat. I consider myself a rather friendly person and who has proven himself easy to work with and willing to do what needs be done.

Personal Statement:
My first taste of the One World by night Community was back at NOLA 2011, I fell in love with the community and its stories diving right in as a player and running right into ST and Coordinator positions in an effort to do part in this organization and help further others enjoyments.
Like I mentioned, I met a lot of friends along the way, my hopes and goals as a candidate for Assistant Head Coordinator is to be there to coordinate and orchestrate mediations on the decisions we all face together as an org and honor our communities best interests. How I intend to accomplish that is by doing what I already do, listen to what everyone has to say and weigh it with fair consideration and empathy towards all parties, issues and problems never get solved with half assed understanding, deliver the good and bad news, hopefully more good than bad going forward.
I'm highly energetic and great with people from all walks of the gamer community.
I have always been of the philosophy that "This game belongs to the players" as opposed to favoring those on a personal level, it's a perspective and point of view I try to infect fellow storytellers with. In fact I'm actually quite blessed to staff or have worked with so many who do understand that view and possessing similar if not the same concepts. I've learned a lot from staff experience as an AST for KoNY, and SOS over the years. Outside the org my storytelling and player experience delves back decades further.
I'm a highly energetic person and amazing with people, I'm up to the hard work and efforts that come with being an Assistant Head Coordinator. I've worked with the current Head Coordinator as a member of her Marketing Team before inheriting the role when she ascended and work well with her. We already have an established rapport and work amazingly well together.
In the mundane world I work for a highly successful distribution company which ranks #1 in Forbes most Socially Responsible Companies list for 2013. I'm happy and comfortable when it comes to the concept of donating my time and feel it to be very rewarding. How that translates in sense of the One World By Night - I'm not expecting anything back from this community except for sincere smiles and enjoyment from those within our community.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to read this application and I hope I can answer some questions any may have and earn your consideration for Assistant Head Coordinator 2014. (Note - this app will self-destruct)
