Looking for new Tech Staff - Frontend/Design/Accessibility

[Billyabna]

Want to add that I consider myself fairly skilled with Photoshop and can help design new icons and logos for NS as well.

Indeed, I am the same. Should have put this in my prior post, but you live and you learn.

[The Ice States]

Since I don't think this has been explicitly stated, I imagine this would be a Moderator position or is it a separate role?

[United Calanworie]

It's a moderator position.

[Sedgistan]

It's a moderator position.

Ah, that's not necessarily the case - as per the OP, "there is also the potential to contribute in a non-staff role, for example as Northrop-Grumman has done for years with the Dark Theme."

[United Calanworie]

Er, right.

Hey, sorry if this is spam, (I've already commented here with my application to join) but has there been any updates on the tech mod situation?

I think the admin/tech mods have their hands full restoring the game at the moment.

Hi there,

You may not have noticed, but we did actually outline how the application process needed to function -- sending in a GHR. Just because gameside is down does not mean that this thread is an acceptable place to apply -- we have our rationales for why we ask for GHRs. Your application hasn't even been considered because we were unaware that it was even an application due to it not following our instructions. Feel free to apply properly once the game is back up, ideally with something substantially longer and more informative than your post is. As a side note, your current application, as it were, doesn't exactly cover you in glory: "I'm meh at HTML and CSS" when we explicitly outlined that we were "ideally [...] seeking someone with both design skills and the ability to implement those designs in HTML/CSS" doesn't indicate a strong candidate. Instead, provide alternative examples of your skills -- you mentioned later that you're skilled with photoshop, consider giving us examples via either finished product, or .psd files for us to view and use to help decide on your application!

Best,
UC

Of course! :3 I'll definitely get around to that, thank you for talking to me about that. See you around!

In hindsight, I should have actually provided a few of those visual things that I have done. I kinda just relied on the assumption that you can see the factbooks in Valentine Z (which, well, with the gameside down)... Again, hindsight is 20/20 !

Dear Moderators

I have sent my full application.

I will soon send a followup with my full evidence.

[Sedgistan]

Now this looks like a job for me.

And I’ll check if Stryke might be interested.

Modding the themes via Userstyles has been a helpful learning experience to know what’s under the hood.

I'm interested. Like Orioni, I've had to peak under the hood so to speak to create some of my own user styles for the game.

Getting Help Requests are back, so if you're still interested, please submit an application there.

We were pretty much ready to start contacting our initial shortlist before the Hamstergate server crash, but have had some interesting applications since the site came back online, so we're delaying things a few days. I strongly encourage those interested to submit an application ASAP.

[Sedgistan]

We have made contact with our initial shortlist today.

[Billyabna]

Hey, Sedgistan and company! I have a little bit of a problem - my other PC (not work moderated) is in for maintenance, and if the shortlisted people were emailed, I did not receive this email due to not currently having access to the email. If I WAS shortlisted, please just send the contents of the email to me VIA telegram. I'll also be sending this as a GHR just in case you see that sooner.

Sincerely,

Billyabna
