GameTavern now hiring

[Neo]

If you'd like to join the GT staff there are positions available now.

Reviewers
Positions available: 2-3

We've been very lazy about this in the past, but we want to build up a database of reviews for video games. Mainly we need GameCube and AGB reviews, but PS2 and Xbox will also be accepted. Only those who frequently rent or purchase games will be hired.

News Writers
Positions available: 1-3

Probably the most important position, we need people who can go out and get news on a regular basis. Keeping the main page updated is a top priority. You'll be expected to visit GT on a daily basis and help to provide regular updates.

Editor/Editorial Writer
Positions available: 1

We're looking for someone who enjoys reading and has good proofreading skills. Also you'll be expected to write the occasional opinion or viewpoint article.

Forum moderators
Positions available: 2

Self explanatory I think. You'll have to visit the boards everyday and read every post in your assigned forum. You'll be responsible for patrolling posts and editing out objectionable content as well as reporting any problems or suspicious behavior to the admins. The specific forum(s) you will moderate have not been determined, but GameBoy and Writer's Guild will likely be on the list.

At the moment I've just estimated how many people in each position we need. I'll update it with more concrete numbers soon.
To apply for any of the writing positions send a PM to myself and PureEvil. If you've already written something you'd like to submit for consideration please do. To apply for the moderator position send a PM to myself, PureEvil, Xantar, GameKinG, quiet mike and BigJustinW. You can edit your buddy list in order to send to multiple recipients.

[BigJustinW]

I'm accepting PMs too... I got 2 already (so so big eh? ;))

Just so Neo won't become flooded with PMs ;)

[Xantar]

All the senior moderators are accepting applications, idiot. And the members don't even have to PM us.

So since I hate almost everybody, I'm going to stay in ICQ where fewer people will bother me.

[Ravishing Rick Rude]

* Bothers Xantar on ICQ*

You can't escape me boy

* Evil Laugh*

btw xantar, that is your Cue to get on ICQ

:P

[Shadow Fox]

*looks at list*

What??!! No postions for graphics artists?? Oh well

*heads back to drawing board*

[Perfect Stu]

Alright I PM'd all of you guys for the moderator position...

I'd just like to say you guys are the coolest people I've ever met

*realizes they know I'm sucking up to them*

I mean...you guys are dumb, man...

*realizes that's just mean*

I mean...you guys are, y'know, pretty cool...later...

:sneaky:

[Ravishing Rick Rude]

meh i pm'd Neo

Justin and Xantar talked to me as well
* Shrugs*

[Yugi Starwind]

Could I be a mod?

[Ginkasa]

What's PM mean ?

[Revival]

:doh: PM stands for private message. It's a message that you send to a specific forum member (or members), that only they see.

[Shadow Fox]

Well, I'm done sending in my apps....

*awaits response*

[Bond]

I sent in my App, getting tired of FunXbox with it's 9,000 hits a hour, too busy for the likes of me...

[Xantar]

If you don't know what a PM is, don't even bother. I do even more sh*t with my PMs than e-mail.

[GameKinG]

If you want to try out, you have to send some reasons why you think you are more qualified. We cant base it upon the fact that you want to. If you do we will look at your past post...some of you may not like that:p

[The_Dunadan]

hey guys, i'd like to be mod. i'm on gt all the time and i even have a nice box to jump into if i become one...http://www.angelfire.com/film/camentertainment/mybox.gif

ps. i've wanted to be mod for sometime now

[Ginkasa]

PM them if you want to be mod....

That's what they said to do.....

Listen to them......

If you want to know the reasons, better ask BJW, 'cause I sent them to him :D.

[Gamer]

Hmm, i wouldnt mind being a mod, so i PM'd NEO.

:hmm:

[Mechadragon]

Maybe I should ask to be a mod....


*looks at post count*

:eek: Nevermind.......

[Ginkasa]

2 questions.


1) Are you going to tell us if we don't make it? Or shall we find out when all the positions are taken and none of them were taken by us?

2) Are you getting more Apps for a mod postion than the other ones?

[Ravishing Rick Rude]

when will you know the mods by?


Just curious

[GameKinG]

Youll know if your not a mod.

[Ginkasa]

I'll assume that means that you will tell us....

[Wilson]

I think he means you'll know you're not if you don't get stepped up.

[GameKinG]

When other mods are hired and those who were not that entered want to know, well its pretty clear that your not hired...

Unless Neo or someone wants to PM you with a "Sorry _____" letter.

[Ginkasa]

So its the second thing I said:

Or shall we find out when all the positions are taken and none of them were taken by us?

[GameKinG]

If you PMed about moderation, thats what im talking about. If your talking about another job they will contact you...or post a topic with the results.

[GameMaster]

To keep confusion on the low-down and out of common courtesy, please PM applicants whether they're hired or not. :)

[C.H]

I'd love to be a mod.......................pretty please.;)

[Ravishing Rick Rude]

Well i pretty much know i am not getting hired.

So my application was rather pointless

* Shrugs*

You're sure to get the job if you have that attidtude.

[Neo]

The new mods will be

Bond
Perfect Stu
Shadow_Link


We received over a dozen applications for the mod positions. It was a tough choice because many of you are qualified to do the job. Those of you who weren't selected shouldn't feel slighted; it's no fault of yours.

The writers haven't been decided yet, but hopefully that will happen in the next few days.

[Ginkasa]

Awwwwww. I didn't make it...


Oh well. I wasn't neccesarily expecting to make it anyway....



Congrats to the new mods by the way....



Want to give your position to me?

j/k :p

[GameKinG]

Congratulations to the new mods. Use your powers wisely.

[Bond]

Congratulations Stu and Shadow!

Thank you Neo. :D

[Ginkasa]

So I was almost a mod right? It was a difficult decision betwwen me and one of the new mods right? You were beating your heads on your desks deciding who was better for the job right? Right?





Right?

[GameMaster]

Congratulations *sniff* *sniff* I..have..to go... :baby:

Just joking. Congratulations. :D :) ;)

[GameKinG]

Yeah link you were in the top 5 choices as number 4...just missed the cut...

[Xantar]

Hey! All you new mods!

Send a PM to Neo telling him what you want your custom rank to be. You want to start lording it over people as soon as possible. :D

[GameMaster]

What about me GameKing? :D

[Ravishing Rick Rude]

* Looks At List*

* Becomes Furious*

[Mechadragon]

*joins him in a state of unsurprisment* ;) "unsurprisement" isn't a word. Try "disbewilderment", or "blatant understanding"....;)

[Mechadragon]

I think I'll just copy and paste that:


*goes into a state of"disbewilderment"*

[GameMaster]

*jumps into a state of sheepishness*

Well, I'm embarrassed. Thanks SF. ;)

[Shadow Fox]

Anytime, GM...

Hey Admin/Mod-type people, does this mean Gekko isn't a mod anymore? I don't see his name on the boards anymore...:hmm:

[GameMaster]

And thus, the plot thickens before the Shadow Fox's eyes...

[Mechadragon]

I didn't notice....:D

Seriously, where did he go?

[GameKinG]

He is still an admin. His last post was on the 24th.

[GameMaster]

His profile is still here also

[TheGrimReaper]

Therefore we must draw the conclusion, that he is here.

[GameMaster]

...somewhere...lurking in the darkness

[Fez]

Neo, your handle?

[Shadow_Link]

Congrats Bond and Stu :cool:...

[surfin4lifer]

blast...I'm never going to get a mod position. It might have been a while since I asked but I've wanted one from the beginning. thanks alot guys..


stomps out of room....
