Staff applications open

Since there's been such a slowdown of activity on the main site, and since the last application test left us with nothing in the end, we're gonna try again.

Same drill as last time. Submit your applications giving a detailed reason for accepting and/or declining each included file by emailing your completed SUBMIT.txt file to mfggapplication@gmail.com. Applications are due in by September 9. Be sure to include your name on both the forum and the main site.

Yes, there are some things on this test that are already on the site, but give them a fair grade regardless. Simply saying "It's already on the site so yes" won't cut it.

Download the application here

@snakeEater: This is an application for a staff position, a staff position as a quality controller.
Quality controllers are the staff members who look in submissions and see if they are good enough to put into the main site.

So does that mean my submission wasn't good enough, because it says (QUEUED). What does that mean?

If something says "queued", that means it hasn't been either accepted or declined yet.

yes, that's right.
I hope that the future new staff member will take his job serious, but I'm pretty sure he/she will.

i wonder if the staff will do a comment moderating one. i would apply for that, but when i started doing this one, i realised that i would have to do loads of accpting and diclineing every day, and im not cut out for that.

I'm going to be blunt and tell you not to even bother applying, judging by your behavior on the forums and the mainsite.

Everyone saying "Oh, I'll just do it for fun, lol" Do not submit it then. The current mods already will have enough entries from people who actually want the job, and don't need to waste time going through ones of people who don't want the job.

If the job is hard for you to figure out, then you shouldn't even bother applying.

We need someone that can also go through newer Game Maker how-to's and games, but since your computer doesn't run them you will obviously won't be chosen.

Lots of people are doing it, just not everyone feels the need to publicly announce it to the site.

Hey here's a small tip: Read the submission rules while playing the games and checking sprites and all that, and see if they qualify for acceptance. Also, be sure to use your common sense, guys.

Good luck y'all.

I doubt any of the people who have commented actually dowloaded it. Nor do I expect any of them to actually apply.

well that may be true for some people, but I did, and those doing it for fun, get a life; the person going through applications doesn't need any more trouble.
