jakobh94's application

**tone** · December 29, 2008, 09:40 AM

Our first new applicant: jakobh94

Hi, you probably know why i am here.
You want a guy that have shown the ability before, why not a first try? I have a good grade (B+) in english so i should write content that anyone could read. I would be short but point out the most troubelling issues. I fancy taking screenshots actually and i have a bunch of them, i use screenshots for glitches and bugs, but also the beauty of the game. Maybe you noticed my video i did with RS 1.5b? That could prove alot, or it could prove nothing.
I want to be beta tester also because of what you have done to RTW! Look at the units, the enviroment, at everything. I want to try this and report it back and help you succed to your first version of RS 2.0!

Thank you for taking your time

Cand we make a new thread for each applicant, discuss them in there, and then move their thread into one of the passed/failed subfora when we've come to a conclusion?

Makes sense

No, no, no , and no. He is a mod tourist. I myself have been on several mods where he has joined, done nothing, and then left after a month with the explanation that "the time period no longer interests me". Please excuse the vehemence of my opposition, but his addition to the beta testing team will do more harm than good! Around half of the mods in development on the RTW subforums have had him, and all with less than stellar results.
EDIT: But whatever Tone and dvk agree on, I will abide by.

Well I think that this has to be taken into account before any judgement is made. We do after all want relaible and committed beta testers. Has he posted much in the RS forum?

That is interesting. We certainly don't want someone like that on the team. I think more research is in order...

I would tell you a lot more but after dealing with KLA yesterday I am not in the mood.
@Macky- He has not posted much, if at all.

**Gotthard** · December 30, 2008, 08:47 AM

I 100% agree with Legio Caesar. The past week he's posted in at least 10 different mod's forums... I didn't have the heart to go back further than that. Most of it is 'Let's add this' or 'wouldn't this be cool' ... I realize I"m not on this committee, but... *DENIED*

**Gotthard** · December 30, 2008, 09:55 AM

He reliably posts, but posts *everywhere* ... he doesn't appear to be that focused or committed to a single project. Just look up his post history for yourself.

Indeed. He hasnt really got much of a focus. Its a no from me.

**Father Jack** · December 30, 2008, 10:11 AM

In that case my vote is NO - he seems to be one of those annoying people who 'whores' himself mods but like a whore he will have no loyalty to his pay masters.

**cherryfunk** · December 30, 2008, 11:14 AM

We have to be particularly careful about guys like this because of the sensitive information our beta testers get. Imagine if we had let SPQR_Praetorian join? He was eager to do so, and a frequent poster, and bereft of loyalty or honor (imho). He might have stolen a bunch of our textures and shown up at another mod saying 'hey look at the cool stuff I made!'
