[ENG]Information concerning the new special positions

As the considerate member most likely has already noticed, we are in need of new talents. Therefore the communities' administration wants to provide some infromation about the job and the application of course:

The Translator:

This position is not relevant for non-germans for now, since we only need English-German/German-English tranlators.

The Editor:

The job of the editor is to write articles concerning current games. So being up-to-date with the scene high language skill are conditions.

Here is an example of what we expect from a proper newsarticle:

Coverage and linguistic level should be about like this.

Applicationform:
Most important is your language and references.

• Basic information (age, contact data) + a few sentences concerning you personnally
• Motive; why you want to work with us
• Experience you have in journalism (if at hand)
• References; here you can provide links to newsarticles you posted so far (User Submitted News) and we also offer our blog-function
• Every other reason for which we should choose you

You can decide how you arrange the application.

The theorycrafter:

This is most likely the most ambitious job in this list. It demands really deep ingame-knowledge especially concerning the "science" of classes of an MMO. Theorycrafters are mathematical highly skilled people who deal with the basic game-structure (not the code though) and try to put things like skills and talents of a class into a mathematic formula. If you still don't know what a theorycrafter is, don't even try to apply (don't take it personnally).

Applicationform:
A simple application in which you highlight your experiences and show references is sufficient.

• Basic information (Age, ICQ/MSN or the likes) + a few sentences concerning you personnally
• Motive; why you want to work with us
• Experience in TC
• References; links to your previous work concerning TC or use the blog-function
• Every other reason for which we should choose you

You can decide how you arrange the application.

The columnist:

The position of the columnist is almost alike the newsarticle-author position. The difference is that a column is not neccessarily about news but about a more general topic concerning MMOs in general or a certain game. Therefore a column is much more detailed and comparable to those from a newspaper. So here also a condition is standard language.

Here is an example of what we expect from a proper column:

Complexity and linguistic level should be about like this or higher.

Applicationform:

See the Editor's form

The podcaster:

Podcasts are becoming quite popular these days so we decided that we should create some too. I'm sure you know what a podcast is, otherwise use google. As an e*PvP podcaster you can work quite freely but the topic should always be connected to MMOs. You can podcast about news or just create a review/preview or a field report etc.

Applicationform:
Here the most important aspect is the references, your previous work. A brief application is sufficient.

• Basic information (Age, ICQ/MSN or the likes) + a few sentences concerning you personnally
• Motive; why you want to work with us
• References; your previous work
• Every other reason for which we should appoint you
