Machines with a sense of humor are hardly cutting edge technology. I was built in 1862.

Just as a reminder, still waiting for this to be answered by either a mod or editor

@@RANDOMMALENAME@@ and @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@: gender-specific randomized names.
@@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@: generates a random male name
@@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@ generates a random female name

In the list of all NS issues (http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=88), the list of variables and the actual issues all use the following macros:@@RANDOMMALENAME@@ and @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@: gender-specific randomized names.
However, the "how to write an issue" thread (https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=80) uses a different format in the instructions:@@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@: generates a random male name
@@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@ generates a random female name
Do both of these work, or was there a typo in the "how to write an issue" thread?
Thanks.

I've been using @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@ etc, whilst doing my issues, and others I've talked to have done so as well. When I used to write issues previously, I always used that format and there was no trouble.
I could be wrong.

Will finalists be required to do something like practice editing an issue, or will y'all just vote on who should be considered to join the team (assuming there are finalists), or you guys not sure yet.

Nothing is definite yet. We'll likely have any finalists edit an issue with a senior editor over TG, but nothing is set in stone.

It looks like there's been a bit of discussion, but nothing definitely settled. You'll have to be patient.

For shame! You'll knock all the drafts over into the water! If that's the case, they'd have to choose winners by dice roll which is only slightly less random than the current method

This is why I don't have access to the folders where submissions are stored. They are safely tucked away where they will stay dry.
