I see, so he's encouraging people outside the Americas to join?

Jeff · #5 11-12-2002, 07:21 AM

We want a couple people on at night so the Australians etc can easily interact in realtime with developers. Anyway, the point is, we're hiring, send us your applications.

...Uhh...what bearing does this have. You're hiring for developer etc... not Police or FAQ.

Q3 is largely to clear out applications from people who just started a month ago, etc...we'd really like for people to have a few months' experience...

Uhh..Jeff, you are hiring Gani Team MEMBERs and not a new gani admin, right? Because if you haven't heard, I haven't been on from severe computer troubles.

...Yeah, cause, so many people who just started last month are just such great level makers and scripters.

The only case I can think of in which such a fluke happened was Kaimetsu.

What kind of scripts are needed for the application?

Probably ones that Graal BM would find useful.

umm.....being in a specific time zone doesn't influence what time they would be on cause they aren't necessarily to come on during the day or night or whatever time you expect them to due to a time zone.

I'm applying for both gfx and ganis XD
i just gotta finish one last sprite (a sword) and make one more gani.

Jeff · #13 11-12-2002, 11:01 AM

Rest assured, Karsh, that you ain't sacked.

Googi · #14 11-12-2002, 11:07 AM

Odam they aren't hiring a bomy admin.
Odam I have no GFX skills to be bomy admin anyways.
Odam I can't apply.
