Recruiting: Cancer Research UK ARG Team members
Sleeper Cell: from Let's Change the Game

Hi All,

I'm part of the Sleeper Cell team that were successful in the Let's Change the Game competition. We're currently recruiting volunteers for building and designing an ARG to raise money and awareness for Cancer Research UK. The sort of skills we need at the moment are below and it's a bonus if you're UK based, though don't let that put you off if your skills are suitable for working with us long distance. Please contact Guy with details of your experience Smile

Hi there!

We're a group of volunteers currently designing an ambitious web-based game to raise funds and awareness for cancer research. It's going to tie in storytelling, online communities, websites, real-world events and more, creating an unforgettable experience for thousands of people while supporting a profoundly important cause.

So, we need a bit of help! We can't offer you money, but we can offer you the camaraderie of our team, the experience of creating something awesome, the good karma of supporting CRUK's important work and suitably glowing testimonials.

Here are the folk we're looking for:

* PHP/MySQL developers – we're looking for people who have a reasonable amount of experience and can write good, clean, secure code
* Design for web: designing our graphics and website, somebody who can create an eye-catching look and then implement it in HTML/CSS. Fancy UI skills (AJAX, Flash) even awesomer.
* Flash developers – opportunities to contribute to general UI and site stuff, and also create full mini-games
* Guerrilla film types: Someone with the equipment, shooting/editing chops and the visual imagination to create fantastic-looking viral video
* Productive generalists – working on a particular area of the game and making stuff happen, from arranging live events to building relationships with supportive companies
* All hands – people who can help out in the future with testing, community participation & player support, event support, and so on
* Creative people we haven't even thought of yet. This means you!

If you want to help make the magic happen (and we know you do!) email Guy at guy.lewis.parsonsSPLATgmail.com letting us know a bit about yourself – skills, experience, any stuff you've made, what you'd actually like to help with, where you're based – and we'll get back to you ASAP.

Thanks to all the respondents to the above - we're chugging along nicely, thanks to sheer enthusiasm and generosity.

We do have another opportunity for people anywhere to help out if you're interested. It's a chance to get involved in something that hopefully will be fun to play and will also raise money (lots of money!) for Cancer Research UK, ultimately benefiting cancer sufferers everywhere.

We need people who'd like to design short bits of the game for us that we're currently describing as 'missions' (we might be playing a little fast and loose with TINAG by posting like this, but we're not going to give the game away Wink - come on Rolling Eyes ). These could be nuggets of ideas that you'd like to see fleshed out and think might be useful or fully fledged concepts ready to be released into the wild as part of a real life ARG.

If you're worried that you don't have the necessary experience or that your ideas are rubbish, don't be! Personally I reckon the necessary experience doesn't exist and that lots of ideas can do amazing things by sheer critical mass of thought. If you're worried that your ideas are too clever and brilliant - I empathise, you can always dumb it down and we know other clever people who can translate.

If you're interested in finding out more of what we're after and maybe seeing a little further behind our coquettishly ajar curtain (come into my parlour...) then mail volunteersSPLATlaw37.com and I shall mail you back something pregnant and quivering with information.

[Edit] We are after lots of people too. So don't be shy Smile
