If you got it, send it in.
If you haven't got a reply from me, chances are I haven't got it, so send it again.

Closing Date: 18th October 2003 @ 5PM GMT [17hours from now]

Send to: [email protected]

Thankyou.

Time Up.
Thankyou to all who applied.

lol im done know, but to late to stressed.

to fast app in my oppinion, people got a life.

I sent my app way before time was up (I even IMed you on aim when I did to see if you got it but you didn't respond) and you haven't replied to mine. =/

Good luck to those who applied (who deserve it, anyway).

The first post in this thread says if you havent gotten a reply to resend it.....

He sent the first one pre-deadline. He's worried that if he resends it, that it'd be post-deadline. X.x

*High fives Tseng*
Just sent it AGAIN, I'm pretty confident about being hired.

and willing to quit other time consuming jobs? (server jobs, global gfx (i think?), forest king(?))

I got a reply the next day O_o. :confused:
I sent mine the 16th which when Spark got it would have been the 17th.

His global gfx and PWA jobs tie in pretty closely, I think he could hold both of them. I also don't see a problem with him spending his spare time on 2k1 or by extension retaining his FAQ-ing job there, it gives people a place to contact him at. Forest King isn't really a 'staff job' so that shouldn't be considered. :)

If he has "spare time" it will be needed for the PWA and is where he needs to devote his time if he gets the job. Holding a job on a server is a conflict of interest. Spark did say this in the beginning But he didn't say anything about another Global job and is something that would have to be decided on I suppose.

I hope chris gets it, that [correction]Arab-Canadian-Trinidadian[/correction] nub.

I'm not spanish ._. Arab, Canadian, Trinidadian ;x *thwaps Excal*

I'm getting the impression I pose quite a threat to some of you but er..anyway, when the time comes...if I do get hired...these things would obviously be sorted out.

I knew that.... :rolleyes:

Believe it or not, when having a job on graal, there exists time when you are on graal but have nothing new to do with that job.

Spark also said that 2k1, kingdoms, and classic were excluded from when he used the word "playerworld". It's a question more of bias than of time.

The jobs are not only related but overlap, there should be no reason he wouldn't allow Chris to remain GGT.

I wasn't supposed to open this thread, but oh well.

You do realize that being a moderator of this forum, you do not need to open threads to reply to them?

Maybe he had a mental lapse? Or a brain fart..one or the other.

With the shear amount of PWs there are now with new ones still popping up, it's hard for me to imagine there being much spare time left when doing your duties as a PWA. He excluded them for them being used for a review. But Spark will have to answer all these questions arisen here when he gets time.

Playerworlds should have to apply for review. Reviewing them all is inefficient since some might not even have been worked on or started on yet and some are probably test servers.

Um, people know that they can contact me to help solve their PW problems, and in addition to that I have 2 other big jobs (GST + managing 2k1), yet I still have spare time to relax. Care to explain this phenomenon?

You cloned yourself. :cool:

Chris, if hired, will make the PWA priority, above all else... So why are you arguing Mr. Milky?

man your all crazy =D

Perhaps he's attempting to discourage or defame some competition. :)

I heard Chris' app was 11 pages long, so back off. :)

Quality over quantity.

If it took him eleven pages to reply to that application he must have issues sorting and summing up his thoughts.

Althought it has nothing to do with the results, as long as the message got across I suppose.

Agreed fully, being blunt and getting to the point isn't a bad thing, going on and on and on about things can be

Good god...MG was givng an opinion on something, and some people get histerical, and say he is trying to get rid of competition? How rediculous you people are being :\
He wishes everyone luck who applied, as do I. dont turn this thread into a bashing and/or arguing thread......................

You're reveiwing the apps, right?

11 Pages long is too much. I'd get bored halfway through and just quit. But good luck to chris, hope me and him get the job(I tried out as well).

Good luck Nappa.

Wow, almost this entire thread about me...aren't I the cream of the crop? =P

"Quality over quantity," I agree fully but quite frankly I believe my standards are higher than most of you and that's the reason my application is so long. Oh well, the people reviewing the app would be the judges of that :)

Edit: Good luck to all.

I know what you mean, I've been trying to keep out of this thread, for obvious reasons. To me, Moon God was just simply re-stating the requirements that Spark provided for the people who get the job. And that was that the people chosen need to give up their current jobs, as Spark wants them to devote their time and energy to PWA.

Anyways, good luck to everyone and may the most experienced and suitable person get selected for the job.

Standards have nothing to do with it.

You should be able to summarize your writing no matter your standards. Writing an application that long can only lead to some sort of repetition, and that doesn't help much.

Standards = quality

I'd appreciate it if you people got off my freakin case now. I didn't post a history of all of your jobs and the rules underneath as if you were some sort of bloody delinquent.

Standards are a goal for quality.
They aren't always going to be met, and just because you have large standards doesn't mean they can't be compiled.

I'm not actually directing this towards you but as a whole to anyone who writes so much. You just happen to be an open example.

I consider this constructive criticism anyways.

You're assuming I'm not capable of meeting my own standards and using me as an "open example" yet I shouldn't take this as if it was directed towards me? You can't judge my application (especially negatively) because you have not seen it and if you do I believe I have the right to defend myself and when I make a similar statement to yours the same rules should apply.

Edit: It's actually 9 pages when I reduced the spacing between questions after saving it as a .rtf. It looked alot neater when a new question was started on a new page in word and sometimes there was half a page remainding.

Edit 2: I just realised it could even be alot less than 9 considering after saving as .rtf each line holds about twice as much characters as it did in word. That statement was also made before saving as a .rtf ;x
