Evening chaps.
I'm making this topic on the request of the staff. It seems they are looking for more people to contribute to the mainsite blog and if that's something that you're interested in then now's your chance to step up and be the man you always wanted to be... just like I have.

All you need to do is fill out this complicated scanning process form and send it back to SAREVOK or HANDSOME LAMB in PERSONAL MESSAGE format. They will then confer with each other and put you through a process of rigorous testing before you finally reach the first qualifier stage.

If you have the brass:

[blockquote]Why are you applying for the position?
As cool as they are "I want a green name" is not a good enough reason to apply for this position. (Although if you've got the stones to actually give that as a reason I'll probably make you staff anyway.)

What kind of articles are you going to write about?
As great as you may be at writing articles the staff have said that they are not really looking for anyone to write articles about music. Or at least the non-creation side of it anyway. It's always helpful to have more than one specialty of articles to write about but we have a lot of staffers writing about music so they are looking to branch out to other things: (See Gaming, Literature, Movies, G&D, Other.) Don't let this stop you applying if you want to write about music but please at least have a backup because right now it decreases the chances of the staff saying WE WANT THIS GUY... Unless you are badass good.

An Example of your work:
If you don't have experience in writing articles and don't have anything to link us to, you could provide us links to a forum topic you might have created that would have suited well for an article, or even just type something up here as you go.
[/blockquote]

Best of luck to everyone who applies.

i was thinking about this last week. i actually wrote an article like COMEDY SHOWCASE: TIM AND ERIC AWESOME SHOW GREAT JOB but it just felt really lame trying to explain why people should watch that show and what it's about. i've never really read a review of anything that i thought was good writing or even particularly smart anyway, so maybe i should just get back to you if/when i come up with a good idea.

Seriously we don't even get GW benefits or a pension or anything. I don't even think the workplace is insured. I was putting some files on the top shelf the other day and I swear steel put a banana skin under my ladder.

Sent an application since I got nothing to lose.

Coming up: articles about POINTS IN VIDYAGAEMS.

"Humans are lone animals living in society."

I think you guys should rather encourage people to send in texts without being staff, and make it clear on the main blog that people can do that. Of course more staffers is also good!

Id make articles if my English wasn't terrible.

Thanks for the applications so far guys. I'm not replying to them all but I am making sure they're all being looked at. It just takes a little time to get everybody's opinion so I'll be getting back to people in a few days. If you're interested then keep sending me those apps!

Alright, I am AWAY now so forward all your applications to Sare and or handsome lamb would be your best bet. Sorry I haven't got back to everyone who applied and sorry for everyone who wasn't accepted (it wasn't all my choice, blame the staff. (yes...scapegoated.))
