[Recruitment] Codename KTS:How not to post for recruitments!

hello, i am recruiting for a new ARG - Codename ''KTS''

At the moment i am a two team and looking for people inrested, i need people with expierience in this matter, peple who have ''contacts'' in the media. But i also need people who can program flash who can understand codes,basic and complex. If you are intrested then email me, there are certain requirments but they are not critical, firstly get teamspeak, x-fire and msn 7.0 so it will be easy to communicate. Thank you and hear is a little hint for those who want it:

K.T.S means 107.110.106.103.104.116.115.32.116.101.109.112.108.87.114.115.32.101.99.114.101.116.

I know it's obvous but it's meant to be!

I know it's obvous but it's meant to be!


EDIT - moved out of "GLOSSARY" as this is NOT A DEFINITION, duh. Also, one thread is sufficient - SG
EDIT again - After merging ALL THREE TOPICS THAT WERE EXACTLY THE SAME from various forums that had nothing to do with PM recruitment, such as "Glossary," "News and Rumors," as well as "Potential ARGS," I've moved this combined thread to the PM forum, where it belongs - SG
EDIT one more time - merged THIS thread, which was a merge of three threads from across the forum from today (Monday Aug 29; see above edit) with the thread ALREADY POSTED YESTERDAY in this forum (PM recruitment, the correct forum for this type of post), because seriously, omg, one thread is enough. Unless you want me to start killing puppies, because I'm about to. I'm that honked. = SG

What I'm about to say may well come across as harsh, for which I will apologise now, but I'm afraid microgrim's [series of] posts have tipped me over the edge.

When you post in this forum, it is invariably because you want to recruit people to your team. You're not trying to hire staff, where you'll pay them a good wage, give them a car, and plonk them in a nice shiny office. No, you're asking them to give up their free time to help *you* implement your idea.

Now why is it that people do not seem to understand the huge importance of portraying themselves as a competent and professional person at this stage?

What am I talking about, you ask? SPELLING!

Would you work for a company whose products fell apart? Or for a boss who was obviously incapable of undertaking even the simplest of tasks? I would guess not. Why is it, therefore, that people posting do not seem to realise that taking 10 seconds out of their life to read what they have just typed and make sure it contains no grammatical or spelling errors is a very good use of their time. Is it really that hard? Are you really that lazy?!!

All that it results in is the more capable people seeing these shoddy cries for help, and ignoring them. They will then form teams with people who they know to be able to work to a higher standard, leaving requests like this for people who do not understand that need for such things, resulting in a much lower quality game.

This also goes for people who post anywhere on Unfiction. Your posts are what people see of you, what they use to draw their opinions about you, and how they judge you. If they are littered with typos then what are they to think?

That is all. [/rant]

OMG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

(But, um, you misspelled "competent." Razz Not -- and I am not being facetious here -- that that in any way detracts from your point.)

People who can't use caps, or be bothered to type out you instead of u make my teeth itch. (Could there possibly be uglier orthography? Unless you're posting from your cell phone, there is no excuse for that. How much extra time and energy do the two extra keystrokes for the y and the o really take? If it's enough time and energy to matter, then clearly you need more practice typing anyway.)

I'm willing to forgive a reasonable number of typos and misspellings in normal forum posts, as I understand that a lot of people are trying to post quickly and that spelling is difficult for some people.

But not here. You're essentially trying to sell your project here, to get people to donate their time and energy to realize your vision. If you can't be bothered to put together a professional-looking proposal, why the Censored should 1) any potential PM with anything resembling actual skills or, I dunno, self-respect believe you're worth working with; and 2) any potential player believe that you'll put any more effort and care into making a well-crafted game than you did into making a well-crafted proposal? Frankly, I interpret the misspellings and typos and grammatical errors and general sloppiness I see in many PM recruitment calls as a clear sign to STAY THE H*LL AWAY FROM THIS ONE.

(Also, as a side note, I'm getting annoyed by hearing people rant in chat for like a gazillion and a half lines about how they do all the work on their team, or people bailed on them, or whatever. Shut up. We do not want to hear about it. It makes us think your game will suck. It also makes us think you are a self-aggrandizing wannabe martyr. We don't feel sorry for you. We don't think you're noble. We think you're annoying, and that this is TMI, and that if this sort of dirty laundry is being aired in public, the game is likely to suck. So have some dignity and self-respect and shut UP about it already, please?)

But yes, back to the spelling, etc. of PM recruitment proposals.

RUN IT THROUGH A BLOODY SPELLCHECK, MMKAY? IT TAKES ROUGHLY 15 SECONDS. KTHXBAI.
