Which position are you interested in: Mod, Spriter, Artist, or a combination?
Mod
Why do you want to be a Mod, Artist, and/or Spriter?
I love to RP, and I always go to the updates board to try and find a topic some of my new Charaters can go to. But, I see alot of other people who need updates and are unreplied. And that kinda makes me sad. And yes, I understand everyone (except SPAMbots) have lives of their own, and have other things they may need to do. But all I want to do is help out as much as I can, and make people happy, as well as keep people on the site.
What makes you think you deserve the job?
Well, I love to RP, like I said above, and I do want to help out the site, but I also want to become a better RPer though this job. As in, get in depth, and improve my spelling and grammer. 'Cause they fail. ^^
What experience if any do you have in this area?
I have been a mod on sites tthat have died before I could do my job. Which is sad..But I do own Hiidoran, my site. If you need the link, just ask for it.
Example(s):
| QUOTE (RP Example 1) |
| The rain drops fell like tears upon me, as if even the clouds were lamenting my loss. How could I lose? I had the advantage. Everything was going so well.. But then, in a moment, it was over. I had lost the battle, and my mate. It seemed as though nothing mattered anymore. Nothing even existed.. Nothing but me and the rain.. |
But you were not alone in the rain. Another was nerby, you could hear the padded footsteps sliphing in the puddles. Though they seemed to drag alittle. But from the sound of rain, you really couldn't hear.
The footsteps came closer, you looked over to see what was coming. All you could see was a shadow that stopped in the rain, and looked up. It looked like a Vaporeon hybrid of some sort, but the rain was coming down so hard that it made a sort of clouded mist. "Hello?" The voice sounded female "Anyone?" She said again.
| QUOTE (RP Example 2) |
Happy as a Blissey, I trotted through the fields. This was it. Today would finally be the day that the Pokémon I had adored for so long would finally become mine! I would make sure of it! Now if only I could find him...
o.o Wait.. I don't remember that tree.... or that bush... ..... ;_; "WHERE AM I!?" |
As you screamed, a few Spearow had flown from a tree, startled by your scream. But you could hear the faintest of sounds; a small kit crying, "Where's my Mommy?!" How convinet, another lost Eon. Perhaps he could tell you where you are?
| QUOTE (RP Example 3) |
Lucky trotted happily along. True to his name, he was having a lucky day indeed! He'd gotten to explore that pretty forest, and now this beautiful field! And besides all that, he got to share it with his adopted kit, Sammi.
Suddenly, Sammi stopped walking. She looked up to the big Absol/Ninetales with whimpering eyes. "Daddy.. I'm hungry.."
Lucky seemed concerned a moment, then smiled at the little Eevee. "No worries little one! I'm sure we'll find some food around here! After all, this day just keeps getting better and better!" |
That it did. Just then, a beautiful Espeon had notice you and the Kit. She had a deep goldenrod coat, and silvery eyes, as well as the jewel on her head. She gracefully plodded along to meet you and the small Eevee. "Hello there, my my, what a gorgeous day for a walk. Wouldn't you say?" Her eyes fell apon the hybrid, then to the small Eevee. She smiled, "Oh, what a darling kit! Oh? He seems to be hungry. Please, come back to my den, so we may have some lunch." She trotted ahead of them, leading them to her den.

| QUOTE (Battle 2) |
Kazu huffed with exhaustion. It looked like this was the end for the Diglet/Growlithe hybrid.. His Sandslash foe had just gone underground, and in a matter of moments he would pop up from who knows where to deliver the final critical strike. Why!? Why couldn't he resist his own type on this field! We was fine fighting other fire-types, but nooo..
Suddenly it hit him. Not the attack, but an idea! Tossing his sarcastic thoughts aside, he leashed his only hope of winning this battle: Earthquake! |
A loud screech could be heard underground as you used the attack. The Sandslash had appeared from the ground, with many scratches and open wounds. Your idea had worked! By the Sandslash being underground, it did double damage, even for not being effective. But the Sandslash looked ready for much more. His health looked a bit more then over half, if he digged again, you would win. But, instead of digging, he came at you with a Slash attack. I might be over for you...

Try again with other given examples. These aren't bad, (just not quite good enough), so I want to see how you'll do after critique.
First of all, you replied to both of these in second person PoV. This is fine when the player is writing in first-person, but not third. (In other words, when the player writes "I walked," you should reply "You saw," but when the player writes "Koki looked," you should reply "Koki noticed" or "He noticed". Get it? :) )
---
In the first reply, the Espeon is entirely too intuitive. Remember, just because YOU know what the characters are all thinking doesn't mean others in-RP do. An improved version of what you wrote might be something like (notice PERFECT grammar doesn't matter too much, as minor conversationally typical errors can give some personality ^^):
"And get better it did, though not entirely in the way Lucky had expected, for at that moment a beautiful Espeon walking by had noticed him and the kit. Whether painted or a recessive hybrid, she looked quite different from the average Espeon, with deep goldenrod fur and deep silver eyes matching a gleaming gem. She gracefully padded toward the hybrid and the Eevee.
'Hello there. My, my, what a gorgeous day for a walk, wouldn't you say?' Her eyes looked over the hybrid, then trailed to the Eevee. 'Oh, what a darling kit!' "
During the next post made, you can plan on offering lunch, etc. This way it doesn't feel so rushed, plus you get more story out of the same plot devices. Give the player some time to be involved too. =P Also note that I kept the majority of your post in tact, just changing a few words and adding a few things. The first part of that will come with time as your own vocabulary expands, so you really only need worry about the second. ^^ For example, noting that her color was so different before describing it; after all, while colors do very more in Elemei, yellow is the exact opposite of purple. =P So while the gem and eyes aren't a big deal, it's worth noting possible reasons her fur is so unique.

In the second post, kudos! on remembering/knowing the x2 damage factor. However, please try to remember that Ground does NOT resist Ground. In fact, almost half of types are either neutral toward or super-effective against themselves. Steel, Electric, Water, Grass, Poison, Fire, Ice, Psychic, and Dark resist themselves. Ghost and Dragon are super-effective against themselves. Normal, Fighting, Ground, Flying, Bug, and Rock are neutral against each other.

Anyway.. ^^ With all that in mind, go ahead and do example mods for two more scenarios, and let's see how much better you can be. :)

Hey SG, I know you're giving Nami a fair chance here, but can I give her some help by pointing out how active and loyal she is. Nami's not the best at updating journeys but she has a lot of other talents that ED could use.
I also want to point out that she's my Co-Owner on GF! Hope I helped!
;)
Nami The Werefox - September 2, 2008 08:41 PM (GMT)
Lol, yeah, Olive does have a point. I'm not the best jouney Mod, and I don't really plan to be. Though I am loyal and have changed greatly since your absesce. I'm more of and updater and things. Plus, I do comment somtimes on some charaters to avoid thing such as a thing or two here or there... But that's not the point. I will do some more modding and I'll update my fist post, K? :3
Kitsunaii - September 3, 2008 12:51 AM (GMT)
I think Nami would make a wonderful mod n.n She would probably do mostly profile updates and such, and reply to character profiles, but she could on occasion reply to journeys. She just needs to reply more often is my opinion xD
Nami The Werefox - September 3, 2008 01:16 AM (GMT)
One done, another to go! ^^
And thank you Riku. ^^ You have such kind words. xD
Done and done.
Nami The Werefox - September 15, 2008 05:48 PM (GMT)
Only dp-ing to say I'm done.

For one, you misspelled journey of all things. =/ Second, the lack of enthusiasm doesn't help your case in the slightest. There's a difference between just accepting you won't be THE best but still trying and being like "meh i don't really care"... =/
All the same, I really like your reply to the lost scenario. And we do need mods. And you have improved a lot since you joined, so it's probably pretty save to assume you'll continue that pattern.
'xD And I think a few staff might stab me if I don't let you.. Lol.
So meh, guess it couldn't really hurt. Welcome to Modhood.
Nami The Werefox - September 23, 2008 01:49 AM (GMT)
Wee~ Thankiez! ^^ And yes, I'll try and improve the best I can.
Heart of Thorns - September 23, 2008 10:55 AM (GMT)
.... xD That made me laugh in real life....
BEST, Nami, BEST...

Psst Nami blame it on a misclick.
Floramei - September 23, 2008 10:03 PM (GMT)
Indeed, you'll try to make the Egyptian cat-goddess better, and you think you will be able to? x3

I HATE the frickin' keyborad... I'll fix it! >.<
