## POST 1: Main Recruitment Message

```
🔥❄️ **LOCAL OPPORTUNITY: Creative Builders & Social Media Help Needed**

**Who We Are:**
Firefrost Gaming is a Twin Cities-based gaming community (based in Circle Pines) launching a subscription-based Minecraft server network. We run professional infrastructure across multiple dedicated servers and we're building something designed to last.

**We're Recruiting:**
• **Builders (2-3 positions)** - Creative designers to create welcoming spawn areas and environments
• **Social Media Helper (1 position)** - Community engagement and content creation across platforms

**What We Offer:**
• Private dedicated Minecraft server for your personal projects (high-performance hosting, yours to use)
• Full subscriber access to our network ($499/year value) for duration of your tenure
• Founding team member recognition
• **Local to Twin Cities? Occasional in-person team meetups!**
• This is a **volunteer position** - we're a passion project, not profit-driven (yet)

**What We Need:**

*For Builders:*
• Minecraft building experience (portfolio required)
• Creative design sense and attention to detail
• 5-15 hours/week availability

*For Social Media:*
• Social media management experience (Discord, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit)
• Content creation skills (graphics, video, copywriting)
• Community building experience
• 5-15 hours/week availability

**Location:** Remote position, but **Twin Cities area strongly preferred**. We'd love to meet up for coffee, tea, or just hang out and talk about the project. Building something meaningful is better when you can share it face-to-face sometimes.

**How to Apply:**
📋 Fill out our application form (5-10 minutes): https://forms.gle/nZWNm6yKpDK5h7av8

We review all applications and reach out to strong candidates via Discord within 7-10 days.

## Optional Follow-Up Comment (If People Ask Questions)

```
**More About Firefrost Gaming:**

We're running serious infrastructure - 12 game servers across 2 dedicated machines (Texas and North Carolina data centers), plus comprehensive monitoring, documentation, and support systems. This isn't a hobby server - we're building professional-grade infrastructure designed to serve a community for years to come.

Our philosophy: "Fire" (passion, community, warmth) and "Frost" (precision, technical excellence, sustainability). We believe in doing things right, building for the long term, and treating everyone involved as genuine partners.

The volunteer nature is because we're pre-launch and building foundation. As we grow and become sustainable, compensation models will evolve. Right now, we're looking for founding team members who want to build something meaningful alongside us.
