How new would you classify, new as.

When a site like RZ has been around for so long; new can be a year or two, or it can be half a year.

A lil' clarification would be greatly appreciated!~

It's simple really:

If you are a new/unknown member, you won't last long. By not being an active part of the community, you will have less incentive to continue writing articles and will very quickly give up.

Dan doesn't want to "hire" someone who regardless of good they are, would realistically only be temporary and will soon require replacing. If he's going to be doing this all over again in the near future, he may aswell just wait for the right person to show up.

What you've said is all correct.

Name: Kangwei.

Location: Singapore.

Age: 15 Years old.

Writing experience:I've never actually done an article or review before, so this is kinda like a "NEW" challenge to me. But on top of that, i am very FLUENT in my English, able to write an article with no grammar errors and such, even if i do have any errors, i will give in my best in correcting it till it's up to standard. I do have a basic level of vocabulary which could be much of a help.

Favourite MMORPG: I am a huge fan of "Maplestory" ever since 2008 when i started playing "Maplestory private server". I created a couple of "Maplestory Private Servers" which were one of the top few private servers during then, unfortunately it was a compulsory for me to shut down the server during to poor financial management. Nowadays i don't really play much games, probably only soccer related games such as "Fifa".

How long have you been browsing ragezone?: I have been on Ragezone for quite a long time, ever since 2009. I do have a couple of accounts though such as "Aslanking" which is used downloading "Maplestory Source Files" from Ragezone.

Ever used wordpress? I do not have any knowledge about using wordpress, but i am pretty sure i can pick it up very fast, and most importantly i am willing to learn.

-Regards, Celphius.

best application hire this guy right here, he's the next famous writer.

A friendly tip Jake you may want to write more, and far more intricate writing if you're applying for a writing position.

As said before in this thread. Dan only posted what is minimum of you to write. He does actually want to see more than the basic he asked for.

That doesn't make sense to me. If he wants to see more then what he asked for. Why would he ask for that if he wanted to see more?

Basically that was just how your appilcation should be. But using common sense he would look for you to spice it up a bit on why he should pick you and such.

I know what you mean, I'm just being a penis. Let me go on.

That's like telling someone you want 10$ for the game, then when they come to pay for it, you say.. "I was expecting another 5$ on top of that.".

MentaL stated when he created the thread, that you should include atleast the next information, other information is up to you. You can post a simple, basic application but chances are you won't be elected...

That simple

That's not true at all. Some people can provide a great amount of information using the format, and only the format, he provided. I'd say some people just have a better chance of being hired if they provide even more information, rather then saying they won't get a spot if they don't.

There are over 10 application in this thread, and most of them are providing a great amount of information.
If you are just posting the bare minimum, it is just like you are posting nothing at all.

At least read the thread properly :/. And read all the posts he does state that he wants more information! He also states that this is the minimum you need and if you really want this job act as if you do write a decent amount like you would when applying for a job.

Honestly the whole discussion about "minimum" is just a case of illogical thinking, you probably didn't need to reply as I don't think they get the point. Even if Dan didn't say thats just the bare minimum anyone who didn't write more than that wasn't using their brain properly. You're applying for a friggin' writing position, you gotta showcase yer skill and at least make yourself stand out anyway you can.

Then again, thats the same with applications for any position anywhere, as last time I applied for a position at RZ I was lazy and left out a lot of good details.

I'm not even going to explain myself any further.

If whoever reads what I stated does not understand, then you're clearly uneducated in the area of 'common sense'.
