[Jeffan Caliarthan]

Sam, it never hurts to apply.

And everyone should join. :joy We have fun.

 

[Jaryd Kosari]

The skills I can offer OE are graphics (mainly avatar edits) and IRC Bots. Would I submit a general application AND a graphics application, or just the general one?

 

[Ajailyn Morrivinna]

The bot person needs to know how to work in the CGI programming language btw, as I've got the hosting set up for one and that is the language that we can use!

I forgot to PM that to Liiane Sedai to let Adina Sedai know.. that is if they both still want me to host (it would cost the site $0 btw)..

:acurtsey

 

[Jaryd Kosari]

an mIRC Bot would also cost $0 and requires much less specific language knowledge. Kinda depends on how frequently the bot would be online though, I suppose. Is this something that would be worked on jointly with Miri Sedai? I was talking to her about making a game bot a few weeks ago.

 

[Ariadne Davion]

*Is curious to know what the BOT language looks like..... * A learnable detail, for sure!


Good Luck to those that apply! Will see some of you on the Marketing end! <3

You can send one application to all of us.


Bot usage varies depending on the event. Games are mostly used during Festival weeks, but the chat room is used more often for things like Guild chats.

 

[Deoan Kakarot]

Should you guys need a bot hosted, you can also let me know. I can open a shell on my server for you. It's running freeBSD, but I'm willing to help whoever needs it with that. I'm currently running Bela for logging, so it's already in use for the Tower.

 

[Xylianna Paladina]

I'm excited to see who will be joining the team! :clap

 

[Vallen Draevis]

Good luck to all the applicants! This is one of the best jobs on the site. So much fun!!!

 

[Guest]

Good luck, and we're looking forward to seeing you on the team!

For those who are into graphics, remember my birthday is Saturday.

 

[Liiane al'Rhuidea]

Samarasin, if you want to apply I will look at your application.

As far as bot-ness goes, Ajailyn is the one working on it right now, so if you have any bot-specific questions you can PM her as well.

Vallen! +5 cookies and a coconut cream pie! <3

 

[Skaya Tristian]

It sounds interesting but I've never done anything like it before.. I dunno if I should or not??

 

[Neliel al Munar]

Ooo, I wants to but not here long enough....*sigh*

 

[Adina al'Mari]

It never hurts to send in an app!

 

[Dagnidrea al'Karyl]

When does the position start? I'm in a wedding on Oct 10 so I'll have more free time after that to put toward fun things.
