2025 - Mediation - North America - Trivia Fox
Introduction and Background:
Hello! My name is Trivia. I've been playing in the Org since May of last year. This org has quickly become a very big part of my life and a big hobby. After Covid, I was not comfortable with going out and meeting people again, until a random Reddit post brought me to my first OWBN game. I've been a distant observer of the World of Darkness since the late 90's, it just took me until I was 40 to finally take the leap. And now I'm making up for lost time!
Now I play in several, and I'm also the Council Member for our local Sabbat game in the area.
I have my Masters in Management and Leadership. I work with teams as a project manager in the video games industry. I work well with people and I care a lot about communication. I'm seeing a need for someone to step up, and I believe with my background and interests, I might be a good choice!
Administrative Experience:
I have worked as a project manager of creative projects, both for companies and freelance, since 2009. I have worked in fandom spaces as a community manager, marketing copywriter, and worked a kajillion conventions face to face with the public.
I have good coping mechanisms for when I need to take a step back and I feel confident in my out of org and in org support structure.
I have seen the depths of the human soul and I know the types of situations that come up in these sorts of positions, both in character and in real life. Even before I was a part of this org, I spent many years in other online and in person spaces that hard their fair shares of conflict. I very clearly understand the conflict that will be Mediated in this position.
Personal Statement:
I am a strong believer that if someone sees that they can help, and are invested in a thing, they should put themselves towards helping it thrive. Hi :) I like to put my time where my interests lie, and this position would be a good way to do so.
Goals:
We're all trying to have fun in a shared narrative experience that spans the globe, and sometimes emotions do get high. I would be very glad to help mediate these issues and hopefully come to resolutions that serve both parties.
I will be upfront in saying that I personally have not been engaged in Mediation with OWBN. However, I've read a bit of what goes through it thanks to my position on Council.
I do not have a specific goal plan in mind other than becoming a part of the Mediation Team. I am a proactive person, however, and I will look for ways to provide solutions to efficiency or other issues as they arise.
