I'll toss my abilities into the ring.

Anyone need a madman with all kinds of weird skills?

Web Design using pretty much everything but raw HTML
Flash
Sound Editing
Image manipulation and some basic image creation skills
Head full of useless information that could be used to develope plots, characters, puzzles, etc
Improv skills for online interactions with players.

I really love writing, so plot development/writing is my big deal.
I can do small side tasks too, but remember, I'm a college student.

EDIT: Forgot - Basic SQL
- Photoshop
- Sound Forge (Sound editing), basic
- Windows
- A little Linux
- Danish language (Danish citizen, timezone EST=GMT+1), means I am goddamn bad at english, so if you want someone recorded, who is quite bad at english, ask me Very Happy

- Maybe, I can put up some postbox addresses in Denmark
- Writing (Maybe, I will need someone to proof me)
- A few puzzle ideas

More will be added, when they come into my mind.
I really like the idea of an international ARG.

+ Has already made trails, has experience with trails.
+ Therefore, good at designing puzzles.
+ Extensive HTML, XHTML knowledge.
+ Basic/Intermediate Javascript, CSS knowledge.
+ Very advanced image creation and manipulation knowledge - basically, I'm one of the best photoshoppers you'll come accross in here.
+ Creativity.
+ Originality.
+ Lots of experience in prose-writing.
+ Lots of experience in story creation.
+ Passionate about it.
+ Attention to detail is bordering on excessive.
+ Moderate experience in sound editing (Remixed the Whipsmartice Theme in Perplex City)
+ Likes a challenge.
+ HUGE experience in Drama - this helps in knowing how to relate to and manipulate the emotions of an audience.
+ Extensive knowledge in psychology and people-orientated subjects.
+ I'm friendly. I'm not just a machine with skills programmed into me so that I create things like a manufacturing line. I'm actually able to joke, and be a nice, smiling guy to work with, whilst I contribute greatly to an ARG. I'm a human who loves this stuff, not just a conveyor belt from the ARG-o-matic.

Email me at alexjsmith /at/ gmail.com

WARNING. I live in the UK. For example, 8pm EST is one in the morning over here. If you plan to have meetings in mid to late evening, do not contact me.

But watch out. I'll fuss until the storyline is entirely plausable and watertight.

[PROS]
- Intermediate knowledge of HTML/Javascript
- An eye for minimalist design (if I say so myself)
- Grundlegende kenntnis des Deutscher spreche (but don't rely on it too much)
- 'Power User' knowledge of Windows, intermediate knowledge of Linux
- Experience with creative writing (short stories, screenplays - only amateur stuff)
- Experience in dealing with online interaction in-character
- Some bizarre trivia in some pretty odd areas
- A deeply surreal sense of humour.

[CONS]
- As a solely-voice actor, I'm not much.
- My only non-web-based programming experience is Pascal.
- Still pretty inexperienced at this sort of thing.

---------------

I could probably rustle up a couple of other people, with skills in things like Photoshop, PHP, voice acting... (if you ever need a character with a British accent that is). I'd be able to dedicate quite a few hours a week on this, I spend far too many evenings looking for an aim... I don't know about the others, I'd have to ask around.

Don't know if anyone actually -looks- here for help with projects... but hey, can't hurt to throw my hat in here.

- Windows-based
- Good with HTML, CSS, some PHP/MySQL, and a little Java/JavaScript
- Decent Photoshop skills
- Writing/Fiction ideas/skills, or at least I flatter myself to think so. Razz

- 17 years old and "a character". Well, okay, I'm friends with a lot of "characters" but keep them in line okay. So... good organization?
- Based in Midwest USA
- Enjoys stage-acting, and I wouldn't mind voice-acting.

Stuff you might not care about
- I've got some math skills, too
- I have a basic grasp of Spanish (have taken five years)
- I really just love ARG's. Although I don't have the time to play all the ones I'd like to, being involved from the PM side would be... memorable, and a lot of fun.

I'd like...
- Puzzle creation
- Website creation
- Plot/Character development
... pretty much anything you can think of. Two and a half years ago I tried to do it all on my own (Codename: Constellation, anyone... ? *hangs head in shame*) and it didn't go well. I like to at least pretend that I'm a much more experienced and web-savy person now. Or at least I'm older.

The only negative thing I can think of is that I like to take on a lot of projects (and I'm still in school and stuff)... I doubt I could lead an ARG, but I would wholeheartedly enjoy contributing and helping as much as anyone would want me to. Smile

Oh, and I'm poor too. All I can give is time.

Oh, and I know (plenty) QBasic too. *salutes WhiteKnight*
