Planetarion Forums - [APA] Techie required

higginz · 22 Mar 2005, 14:43

Alongside recruiting for normal members, who have the chance to rise through the [APA] ranks, we also have a space open for an [APA] techie

[b]What do we require for the techie role?[b]
We would like several things from our new techie, any extras of course are very useful

Ability to install a PHP / MySql database onto the net, and modify an existing site when required. If prefered can create a new site as a project, but the existing site is available.
IRC activity, as always
Possible tech skills in irc, such as bots / mirc scripts, not a necessity though
The usual, friendliness, activity, enthusiasm, loyalty and someone who enjoys playin the game and helping others

[b]What would you gain from a techie role in [APA]?[b]
Other than being a major part in a rapidly developing alliance, with all the main benefits of joining our fun but growing alliance, such as defence, teamwork, organised attacks etc. You may also enjoy the task of developing the website, working with others to help teh alliance. You would of course have a position of authority, although a little trust on our side may be required at first (vouches etc always good!) if your loyal, then you will have no problems.

[b]Why join [APA]?[b]

1. All of our members will be included in attacks and defence when they want to.
We will not discriminate to the smaller fleets if u wanna join in too, unlike some
alliances
2. You can be involved in the challenge of taking a new alliance (started R12) into a
force to be reckoned with in the future
3. Were friendly and supportive and there is always someone online to speak to.
4. Were not discriminative against nationality, experience or paid / free accounts, all we
ask for is activity and that you cooperate when you can.
5. Were also offering places of authority to members who remain active and helpful, as
this is a relatively new alliance, it will be easier to move through the ranks with us
than with the biggest alliances, without the diadvantage of an unactive alliance, even
tho we are new we are active so can normally give defence if needed.
6. We have a great defence and attack system and we are getting
faster and better at responding as our alliance grows.

New and existing players of the game are welcome to apply, all we require are the above skills, and an enthusiasm to help the alliance and play the game.

Any questions or applications, find us in #[apa] on irc or reply here.

The normal recruitment thread can be found in

Thanks

Dude - [APA] HC

If it's not the same as your "recruitment thread" then why the Why Join part which is in your so called "recruitment thread"? Now, you have 2 recruitment threads when it would've been much easier to have just put this into your original recruitment thread.

We understand where you are coming from but we felt it nessasary to posta specific thread for a techie within the alliance, as people looking for a techie job wont look at the post recruits welcome! Hence increasing our chances of finding the right person!

But people looking for a techie job aren't going to go to a specific alliance just because they want a techie. They will go to that alliance to play as a planet, hence will look at the recruitment thread. If they don't like what they see then they won't join regardless of whether they're being offered a techie position or not. Hence, no need for 2 recruitment threads.

higginz · 24 Mar 2005, 01:34

ur jus talkin nonsense now, what difference does it make for us havin a techie thread, when the idea is that we want one and this will help us find one easier. If u dont wanna read it, dont, simple as.

Why moan, all were tryin to do is do well give us a break

and why quote someone when the post ur mentioning is the one above?

Actually, I haven't read APA's other thread, but I seriously considered applying for the techie position when seeing this thread. I think you should cut them some slack. Techies are, in most cases, another breed.

You want a techie, then put it in your recruitment thread instead of having 2 recruitment threads. About me quoting someone when i'm mentioning the post above? The post above my quote is my own post....

Techies aren't usualy another breed. They play PA, just like you play PA. I've read your threads about the beta and the ship stats for the new round, with great fascination i must add. But that doesn't make you any different to the normal PA player as such. The main difference i see is that you actually know the stats, unlike most players.

Back to the matter at hand, if you read their recruitment thread they have mainly repeated themselves. Their original thread was a very good recruitment thread, but there's no need to start another one just for a techie. Either appoint a techie with what you already have in your alliance, or add that you need a techie into your original recruitment thread.

No, I meant I considered joining APA as a techie. In fact, had this (or something similar) been posted in round 12, I probably would have (if they'd have me, obviously).

demiGOD · 24 Mar 2005, 03:51

Actually, Banned is another breed of timeless monsters. And if [APA] hired him, then the whole universe would rebel against the alliance hence another Pa ling-go will evolve - APApwnd or something..

Avenged · 24 Mar 2005, 03:51

Just as a final point for you to get off our backs, the original recruitment post was added on the 23rd of January, this post was started on the 22nd of March. I.e. the post for a techie has been a recent requirement of the alliance. Hence if this was merely edited in the original post then we have potentially missed out on several active players who would be well suited for the position.

It is therefore fully justified that we took it upon ourselves to post a specific position within our alliance as a separate thread! By doing so we are enhancing our possibilities for the correct applicant and separating any confusion of whether interested applicants are for members or for the techie job!

End of discussion!

higginz · 24 Mar 2005, 10:16

hehehe, well sed avenged!

Then delete your other thread.

noah02 · 24 Mar 2005, 13:51

Getting a bit arguementive in ere lol

Why can't we all just get along?

Avenged · 24 Mar 2005, 14:40

why would we delete the other thread when this is advertising for a specific position within the alliance (which is a new requirement) when this position is filled we will deleate this thread!

higginz · 24 Mar 2005, 14:45

ur jus bein argumentative for the sake of it now arbondigo, we got another seperate thread for normal recruits and a specific wanted techie thread. Who does this hurt? What does it do to you? And if this was a stupid idea, how come ppl are coming to help from all over who wouldnt have known if it was just a recruitment thread extension...

There are moderators for this forum; if you have a complaint, complain to them. Posting on this thread will only cause an argument.

fwiw, as a former moderator I don't see any problem with this thread.

Will you spell properly please. People read recruitment threads if they're at the top of the pile. You could've just add that into your original thread and people would've seen it and responded accordingly, instead you started another recruitment thread.

See above, add it to your other thread, and maybe edit the title of the original thread accordingly.

Squishy · 24 Mar 2005, 15:41

arbondigo for gods sake give it up u have a problem go to the admins. Their isnt a whole lot wrong with this thread they wanted to make sure that the fact they wanted a techie was noticed ware it might not have been on their other forum. I had read that a while ago and wasnt gonna read it again no matter ware it sat in the list top or bottom. So how would i have known about the techie position that was avaliable?

And i know my spelling shit crap incase u wanna complain about that. The fact is i dont care

JC · 24 Mar 2005, 23:29

Sorry i havent been around too much lately, i've been a bit busy but i do still read this board. I read the thread before anyone replied and decided to leave it here even though we only normally allow 1 thread per alliance. This thread is asking for a very specific type of player that may not be attracted to a normal recruitment thread and the board is very quiet anyway so its not like 1 alliance having 2 active threads is depriving other people of space on the front page of AR.

higginz · 25 Mar 2005, 13:17

who cares about spelling in forums anyway? noone complains in irc, so why bother in here? If one would prefer that I talk in a standard English dialect then I shall behave in a manner as to meet ones wishes.

nah

btw, thanks for keepin this thread near the top, every one of your mindless complaints bumps us up to top again

calling someone a jackass for replying to your thread is just pathetic and there is no need.

And i like [apa] to.

Why do you assume it was someone in APA? I thought you were being a jackass too, and I'm not APA. It's not entirely inconceivable that I am not alone in thinking this.

higginz · 4 Apr 2005, 23:46

hehe, wasnt me, tho i think ur a jackass too, its a game ffs

Avenged · 4 Apr 2005, 23:51

I dont know what to think

*Looks to dude for advice

I think your a jackass!

oh and i didnt send it

Trance · 5 Apr 2005, 00:10

I agree you really are a complete and utter jackass. APA have done nothing to you, why cause trouble? Go back to whatever dark dank hole you crawled out of and do us all a favour.

noah02 · 5 Apr 2005, 01:26

*yawn*

Pinkerton · 5 Apr 2005, 19:26

arbondigo your an idiot. I've noticed that the PA forum is pretty cool and there aren't trolls here like other forums I belong to. But you definitely fit the description.
