Hope to hear from you.

Hi - thanks for the application.
Have you got any AAR or empire posts to show me?

No, sorry.

I tried to make one where I edited IBFD so I started out sort of as the last Pagan Roman, Governor Latro, with just the Balearics and 2 sons as generals on the limes. Alas I couldn't get past defeating the Vandals so I didn't post it.
Nor did I port the svreenshots to my new comp.

Maybe you could play a bit this week and post some pics?

Hi again.
I started an AAR.
Hope it meets the standards.

I'd say tell him to post some more.
I'd would like to see a 2 week periods of playing a campaign at least.

They admit to only having started to play RS1.5 on the 10th October 2009. Although the posts are quite detailed I think it's way too early to even be considered for beta testing. Maybe a month of playing.....

Again, if other people could vouch for them then that's another matter.

It does look like they have 3dsmax and have done some skinning. Is it possible to get some samples of what they have been doing? They may be a future developer.

Not too long ago I wrote Tone an application, who told me to do an AAR first.

So recently did a bit of an AAR. I liked the apparent work that had gone into the tweaking of the map and gameplay. Only negative was the ugly vanilla-like units.
Then again I usually do the battles reasonably zoomed out, it was just a pity taking screenshots of these units. Can't wait for the new ones.

I've gotten myself a new computer, so I can play at the highest settings.

I'm going with a yes on this one, he's showing some desire to be a tester.

My only reservation is that they appear to not been 'involved' with RS very much. The last post of the empire was the 16th October. Do they play RS regularly? I'd be worried that they would turn out to be someone that plays something new and gets bored with it or can't spend much time beta testing.

It's better to have as small team of dedicated players rather than a large horde of players who lack dedication to the mod.

Having written all that I am aware that there doesn't appear to be that much beta testing going on considering the numbers signed up to beta testing - although the ones that are active are doing a decent job.

Hmmm, good points there, anyone else wish to add anything?

**MarcusTullius** · November 05, 2009, 08:43 AM

Anyone else??

**Brusilov** · November 05, 2009, 11:09 AM

It looks like it's up to you to decide......

The only thing I'd be worried about is his veeery long period of inactiveness. He didn't use to be frequent poster until the last few months. But on the other side, it looks like he played RTW for a long time.

**MarcusTullius** · November 07, 2009, 04:37 AM

I'm gonna say yes then, he'll be good methinks

I think the inactivity on the RS forum is a big problem. They last posted there on the 16th October. The post after that was in the IBFD forum on the 4th November. I think they are only just doing this to get onto the beta test team and I don't think they've played the mod enough - or demonstrated that they have.
