Helping Planeshift

[heleman]

I design graphics with cinema 4d and I'm learning blender. I was wondering if you needed any help? I am willing to learn other programs of design if needed. E-mail me:

 Hello take a look at this post.

[Karyuu]

We're always in need of help! :] Have a portfolio of some work ready, and send in an application to the team.

[Datruth]

Be prepared to wait a long time.

I sent in my application a month ago and still no reply.

Don't get your hopes up either.

[Karyuu]

Do keep in mind that if you fill out your application incorrectly or leave some sections blank, you are immediately discarded due to being unable to follow directions ;P

Every part was filled in, everything was correct.

I log into Nexus Atleast 4 times a week, and I find nothing on a daily basis.

I've sent a Message to Talad about this, No response.

I've asked other Gm's about this, No response.

I've asked players about this, SAME response, It's happened to me too, don't worry, I've been waiting just as long as you OR longer.

I feel if Talad himself doesn't hand pick someone, people will never get the chance to become WTB members.

I was also told that they are Very busy, if they were, they would be in dire need for help, and would be recruiting as many people as possible.

I observe these predictions, and therefore the only result is to feel they arn't that busy, and if they are, they don't worry about these applications or responding to them.

If they did, i would have heard of atleast 4 or 5 Players say, "Ya i filled out a form, helped out for a while, Now i'm a WTB member"

OR

"I filled out a form, got a response, did some tasks, am still waiting to become a WTB member."


All i find is:

"I filled out the form, have waited weeks or months, No response, No tasks, No feedback."


I think a Month is a long enough wait.

That is just my personal Experience, allow others to input theirs.

[Karyuu]

Please don't start that "They are lying and are actually not busy; they just don't care" thing again.

As we have already told you multiple times, Talad is the only one who handles many applications. One man, hundreds of people. That one man is the project leader - he has actual member tasks to look over, modify, help with, approve, as well as do things only he has the power and skill to do. So calm down - you're not applying for a job, you're applying to help a hobby. Some people wait months, but agree that it's worth it. If you have the interest and desire, please have the understanding too.

We just accepted a new Settings WTB several days ago.

Makes perfect sense to me, i'm being irrational.

I mean what was i thinking? right?

He's wayyy too busy to recruit people to help him?

Silly me 


You're right Karyuu, i should wait a while, till he's not busy anymore, and then when he has time, he can hire me to help him.


Maybe when he's not busy he'll give me tasks to do as well, you know, doing things for him, that he himself can't do, because he's not busy.

Right?


I got it all wrong, sorry karyuu

p.s: hint of sarcasm present

[Karyuu]

With an attitude like that however, your chances of being accepted become slimmer every time. I'm not kidding. You can have all the skills in the world, but if you can't have patience and understanding, you're not of any worth to the project.

Your behavior will represent the project if you are accepted - think about what sort of representation that would be. We do.

Was that a threat?

What does any of this have to do with this thread?

If you don't accept me, i won't cry, i promise Karyuu i won't.

I think i have been patient, and i just wanted to share my experiences with the Board.


If sharing my experience is wrong.... then I'm guilty as charged.

Next time tell me what i can and can't say, before i submit the application.

Will make it alot easier, in my opinion.


So does it bother you that i shared my input? Was that wrong?


If my position bothers you, feel free to rebutt and prove it wrong.


~~Datruth

[Karyuu]

What bothered me was this:

I was also told that they are Very busy, if they were, they would be in dire need for help, and would be recruiting as many people as possible.

I observe these predictions, and therefore the only result is to feel they arn't that busy, and if they are, they don't worry about these applications or responding to them.

The situation has been explained to you many times, but you persist with such similar opinions. That's both frustrating and unfair to us.

[pebbles]

Datruth,

normally I hate interfering in other peoples discussion, but I feel that you misunderstood here something completely.

From your profile I know that you are still very young, this might be the reason why you thing "to busy to get help" is a lame excuse. Maybe you have never been in a situation where you are to busy to improve the effieciency of your work. I know, this sounds like a paradoxon, but it is not so uncommon. I, for example, should have improved my data analysis program moths ago. But i didn't, because, if I waste all my time optimizing the programs, I will never use them and not get any results, no publications, no grants for the next project.

I hope you understand this as a friendly hint (really no sarcasm here) and first think a bit deeper before you get mad at overloaded people next time.
(And I hope Karyuu doesn't mind my interference here   )
Greeting, pebbles.

[Datruth]

I really have to watch the way i type.

lol, i find it really funny, that it is a Common theme that people see me as angry lol.

Like i'm smiling through half of the stuff i write and laughing away, i mean some of the arguments seem silly to me.

Maybe it's my diction, but whatever it is, people percieve that i'm angry.       lol

I'm not angry though, i'm sorry if it seems that way, if my writing seems to project that.

And i understood your point Pebbles, that on rare occasions time impedes you for recruiting help.

I feel this isn't one of those cases though, from the observations I've made and the Data i've collected.


If i were in talad's shoes, i'd atleast send back a reply, stating why he hasn't gotten back to me in a month.

That's me though, can't speak for others. I gotta get some sleep now, big day tommorow, and me and karyuu are at like 2:50 A.M PST, so I'll continue this discussion in the morning.

~~Datruth

[Karyuu]

I'm interested in that "data" you collected. What is that, exactly? ;]

[pebbles]

I really have to watch the way i type.

Hehe, maybe you should, could save you a lot of trouble 

*distant sound of a whip* Oops, back to work then.
