Okay, there you go.

Extras :

Reason why I would like to be one of the ragezone staffs/article writer
-
1. I love RageZONE.
2. I felt that RageZONE is a great community.
3. It's an good opportunity, what am I waiting for?
4. I like some MMORPG like Maplestory, so I could write interesting stories about it.
5. Sharing is great.
6. I am happy when I can help people.

Writing.. will I get bored of it?
Definitely NO. I am always bored at home and I always want to do something.
Now you made something like this, I will definitely apply for it.

What softwares I used for writing?
Notepad++, Microsoft Word and Notepad.
For Programming, notepad++, it's almost the same because we are here talking about writing.

Am I dumb enough to copy and paste everything everytime?
No, of course not. You said we can, but to me I can't.
I will always achieve my best by doing my best by my own hands not by copying the whole thing into a post, because others will think that we are either lazy or always tries to depend on others.

Will I post garbage?
No. I spent almost a year staying here, posting and laughing, I wouldn't want to be banned.

Why am I so devoted to RageZONE?
It's just natural, I felt that RageZONE is somewhere comfortable, where I can chat with all my online friends, unlike other forums, full of craps and lousy administrators.

No money, no deal?
Nah, I am not that greedy even though I am human.

Will I use this opportunity to advertise?
No, I won't.

Will this be hard for me?
I don't think so, it's just sitting on a chair and typing for a few minutes/hours.

Am I active?
Yes, I am.(7-9 hours p/d, yes I'm crazy)

Keep them coming, I'm not going to restrict the news directly to age because if you are crediting sources then it should all be good to go, but obviously you need to be mature.

[Dawson]

Name; Dawson Byrd, I know my forum name is SO unoriginal

Location; British Columbia, Canada

Age; 18

Writing experience; Years of no-lifing the online scene, writing up announcements and spending far too many hours in IRC. Sure this isn't exactly experience in this field, but it greatly improves my skill overall; in any medium of writing. Although I did write a blog when MySpace was the hip thing to do!~

Oh, and I used to write original content for 4chans /x/(paranormal) :] As no one likes copy pasta over and over again. Some OC is always nice.

Favourite MMORPG; Lineage II

How long have you been browsing RaGEZONE?; I've been browsing on and off since early in '09 finally registered earlier this year.

Ever used wordpress?; I've mucked around with it, and pretty much every other web script out there o.o; I can't say I'm a guru at it, but I know how to work it, yes.


Online Gaming Experience; This isn't as important as the whole writing thing but someone who's actually been around the block is probably a good choice.

I started quite young in the whole online gaming. Way back in the Delta Force games making clan write-ups and clan application forms for a clan back in Delta Force Joint Task force (Funfunfun!). From there I got xbox live on it's release date and joined the at the time, largest Halo 2 Organized Clan; KoG (Currently am a member of it's 18+ division now that it's many years later and I'm many years older XGC) Quickly gained rank there and got to the point where again my writing skills were used.

The whole FPS scene by then got boring to me and I moved onto MMORPG's I hopped around from a ton of free MMO's like most 13 year olds do, finally around 14-15 I found Lineage II and started paying for a MMO, regularly and I've been hooked on L2 ever since. 'dabbled in tons of other games like WoW, and Guild Wars, even Evercrack(Huhuhu) so I've been around the block on the whole Gaming scene


Previous things I've done around RZ; I've made posts spanning almost all categories, I mean this doesn't make me better than anyone else. It simply re-enforces the fact that I enjoy RaGEZONE as a whole and the others here that do, like myself. Would I'm sure be glad to see up to date gaming news in addition to the server development discussion and the crazy topics that quite often pop up in other places.

English Experience;
AP Senior English
and a Senior Creative Writing class.

Do I speak my mind in as I write?; Of course I do, part of being a good writer is putting emotion into it as it makes a huge difference in the writing quality, reading something that someone has put no effort or emotion into is quite dull; but when someone gets creative and puts their effort and self into their writing it quite often becomes FAR better to read.

Online activity level; After a full days work, I just want to go home and relax. Which quite often means lounging in front of the computer wasting away time anyway, so instead of wasting that time it could easily be put towards a role like this.


Best of luck to everyone else who applies.

Oh, and even though you can quite easily find contact information via my profile page, or even contact there just so it's easier to grab a hold of if needed...

[linkdamasta]

Name: Isaac

Location: France

Age: 14

Writing experience: Although my writing experience cannot be considered professional, I write like a professional, without a doubt. I have written short stories, long stories, news updates, etc, etc. I abide by rules, but won't promise anything exceptional.

Favourite MMORPG: I don't actually play MMOs; I check development on a few, but I only actually develop on MapleStory. I am most serious about MapleStory development.

How long have you been browsing ragezone?: I won't tell lies; Though I joined a while back, I was hugely inactive until I think about two months back. My activity isn't anything to be proud of, but I swear I check back multiple times every day.

Ever used wordpress?: No. Blunt and straight to the point. I have never written a blog, or used wordpress.

Extra: I'm having second thoughts about this. It's a commitment I'm not even sure I want to make. I can get really busy at times, and my family travels a lot. Also, I won't polish my opinion to make me seem like a good choice; I think RageZone needs work. The site? Great. The layout? Fine. The community? Oh crap. There are trolls, noobs, leechers, flamers... You know what, I think I'll just end it here.

Have a nice day.

[tweeney]

Name; Thomas (Tom)

Location; South-Western England

Age; 15

Writing experience; None online, but school work. I have good grammar and spelling. As my primary language is English, I am better than anyone who is from a different Country, and as Ragezone is an English speaking community, I believe it is important to pick someone who is fluent in English.

Favourite MMORPG; Habbo Hotel - Just because it was the first MMO I ever played, and it's the only one I have ever really stuck too.

How long have you been browsing ragezone?; I have been browsing Ragezone for over 2 years, as I registered in August 2008.

Ever used WordPress? I have used WordPress for my short-lived blog. I learnt how to do the basic stuff - Post topics, moderate comments, upload skins and plugins etc. I am not expert with it, but I know all the basic skills and I am willing to learn new things that may be given to me as a task.

Languages Spoken: Only English. I speak little French which is all stuff I have learnt in the classroom - which is pretty irrelevant as it was colours, numbers and stuff like that.

Previous Experiences; I have no previous experiences with any positions like this. I have never been a news writer. I have applied for positions like the one that I am applying for now, but I have never been accepted.

Contact details; If you wanted to contact me for any reason, please leave me a PM and I will reply as quickly as possible.

Other relatated notes: I am a generally active user, logging in almost every day after school. I spend quite a lot of my free time on Ragezone, just catching up with everything that has happened during the day in relevant sections. I decided to apply for this position as I need something to fill my free time. I do think that it will be quite a cool experience. I would never steal anyone else's work, and if I used another source, then i would always give credits to the creator of the source and would make sure that it was clearly shown within the website.


I would just like to add:
Good Luck to everyone who applies!Except the noobs who can't spell properly.

[Makarov]

Name: Cobe

Location: USA

Age: 14

Writing experience: I have a lot of experience. I am very big on grammar, so I make sure to always get everything right. I have had my own blog built on WordPress. I've also done articles for "hotels".

Favorite M.M.O.R.P.G.: My favorite M.M.O.R.P.G is definitely Habbo. It is that way because I was drawn to it in 2004 and it immediately caught my eye. Right around the end of last year/start of this year I learned to program a bit of Habbo protocol. I really enjoy to "Role-Play" and program role play emulators.

How long have you been browsing RaGEZONE?: I have lurked in 2008. From there I made an account in 2009 (FreshKickzCobe). I then decided to make another account (this one). I hope to stay for MANY years.

Ever used WordPress: I have used WordPress when handling my own blog. I believe i'm well experience enough to handle this awesome job. I know how to install plugins, install new skins, post with correct use of the "BB Codes".
