How are the staff picked?

So I was wondering recently about Admins and the staff and how there picked because I've never heard anyone talk about it? So is it like you need to be friends with some other staff memeber or do you get picked and if your a staff member does that make you an ingame admin?

Some say it's an application proces like no other. Those foolish enough to try will be tested. A series of vicious tests from battling 50 hobos with rooks to climbing to highest Mountain and sacrificing your sanity. Those victorious are met with a panel of judges who will argue all your choices for hours. If they deem you worthy you may be able to meet the final judges, the fiercest of them all... management!
