A player sets an important example of how crucial it is to sort your files correctly. Because suddenly, the community of Dungeons & Dragons is searching for the aforementioned player who has made a significant mistake in his application.
Why is the player being searched for? In the Dungeons & Dragons community, a Reddit post is causing a lot of reactions. The user Chimney-Imp is looking for a certain Corey in the associated subreddit, who attached his D&D character sheet instead of his resume to an application. “Please fix the issue before your interview tomorrow,” the author adds.
Many hope that the post is not a joke, and Chimney-Imp assures its truthfulness. The person would like to post proof, but they are unsure if that would violate any internal policies. Additionally, the proof is simply… a filled-out character sheet.
Chimney-Imp has also double-checked that this is not a creative formatting of a resume, but instead of educational and previous job entries, there are only the attributes of a level-12 barbarian, with 2 levels as a rogue and one as a wizard.
The community is searching, the Coreys are sweating
How did the community react to this call? The Reddit post received nearly 9,000 upvotes and a lot of comments in less than a day, with many jokes arising from the situation.
“Now just imagine how the guy tries to play Dungeons & Dragons with his resume instead of the character sheet,” writes Yuki_Samurai, to which the seeker immediately responds: “Excel reformatted all your data as dates. You take 1d4 psychic damage.”
The player willstr sees a whole new opportunity in this blunder that could definitely be expanded upon: “Perfect for the new TTRPG Humans & Houses – experience the ultimate fantasy of a fulfilling career and home ownership!”
The burning question remains – was Corey found? So far, it does not seem that the “right” Corey has noticed and reacted to the post, although there are some players who briefly became paranoid.
“Um… I am a Corey and am desperately trying to remember if I sent out any resumes recently…” writes asporkable, and fellow namesake FeverHunting also had to pause for a moment: “As someone named Corey who is currently planning a D&D adventure, this title briefly made me panic, although I know I haven’t sent out any applications! Poor guy, lol.”
Players are also asking the author of the post to update the community the following day on how Corey dealt with this mix-up. They hope this doesn’t violate anyone’s privacy and would be very curious to know whether the submission was perhaps not a mistake, but intentional.
Whether it’s due to poorly organized file collection or an unfortunate misclick, one cannot say based on the missing response from the affected Corey (yet). It remains to be seen if the author will provide an update.
Another player wouldn’t have encountered this situation, as he only plays with a printed character sheet – and has been doing so for 3 years on the same sheet of paper: A frugal player has been using the same paper as a character sheet in Dungeons & Dragons for 3 years, astonishing the community
