FAILED[citizen] Beer Money (patron: Saint Nicholas)

[Saint Nicholas]

Applicant: Beer Money
Patron: Saint Nicholas


I'd like to patronise Beer Money.

Applicant Letter

Id like to become a citizen to be a part of the community that has given me an outlet for my creative writing on a game that is simply epic in scope and scale and that I enjoy thoroughly.

As for my contributions, Ive won 2 MAARCs, 2 TOTWs and according to the many posts in my AARs anyway, inspired others to play and write more often based upon the ability of my writing to capture gameplay.

I think my critics quill interview helped many when looking for direction in how to write creatively and have fun and to contribute to the site.

As for articles, I haven't contributed but only because I thought I hadn't achieved a level of accomplishment that would warrant me serving in a position of knowledge.

Patron Letter

Beer Money has become quite a helpful member of the community. His AAR's are immensely popular and have a large following, i'll list them here.

• [SV AAR] The Survival of Catalunya
• [SV AAR] Catalunya: A Consolidation of Power
• [SV AAR] Látomásai Királyok! - Visions of the Kings (Hungary AAR)
• [Dragon Age AAR] A Hero in Elf's clothing

I've watched this member from when he first registered. He has grown into quite an accomplished AARtist. At present he has written four separate AAR's and is still working on one or two of them. Over the last few months he has shown great dedication to his work and to his readers. Not only has he been heavily involved in the AAR community, but he has been an avid participant in the Tale of the Week contest, writing a story most weeks and even winning two of the competitions. Beer Money has been awarded the Bronze MAARC medal, a testament to his skill and popularity as a writer.

Beer Money's attitude is easy going and friendly, he is helpful towards other members and takes criticism of his work well, keeping a cool head and staying positive. An example of this member's helpfulness can be seen in this post. I feel this member is a great contributor to TWC and that his talents and personality could greatly benefit the CVRIA and TWC as a whole.

Regards,
Saint Nick

Dear Saint Nicholas,

You dropped a patronization request for Beer Money at the CdeC doors but you did not specify whether this was to be posted as a closed or in the Transparancy Trial forum.

Regards,

VP

Durrrr.... thank you Magistrate Legio.

[Viking Prince]

Oh I didn't realise I needed to. I prefer this to be a closed case.

Thanks

I'm not all too impressed with the AARs. Picture heavy with a mediocre story. I'd like to see a little bit more quality work or tangible contribution.

Oh boy, **Gulp**.... I'm a fanboy of the applicant because of his presence in TotW. Time to disregard personal feelings and treat this
like any other application.

What if Don_Ponti's_ words are in fact the gospel in this case...

Edit: To be quite honest, I'm not impressed at all by the applicant's paragraph. It's clearly underwhelming and amazingly totally devoid of contributions {links}. It seems as though the patron is the one wanting the citizenship, not the applicant. Why should I invest time here when obviously
the applicant has not.

**Walks out of the conference room and slams the door.**

[Belisarius]

His name is almost enough to win it for me.

[Viking Prince]

His interest in the site is writing and specificly AAR's and POTW. In the past, I have taken the position that AAR's are not sufficient alone for citizen. The contest competitions are their own reward and thus not really a contribution. His interview is a contribution even though he is not a content writer.

I would also like to see some other contributions such as assisting in the running of a competition.

I am leaning towards a no. The applicant needs more time to broaden out his contribution base.

I'm sorry but I see no need to invest any further time in this. If I am out of line, someone please explain it to me. The applicant has not made an investment in this venture so neither should I.

No.

This is exactly how i feel about this applicant.

He seems to like writing so i suggest he joins one of the editorials that we have around here to contribute. If he joins one of them i am sure he will rise in rank within 5 to 7 months.

I would also like to see some other contributions such as assisting in the running of a competition.

In which competition might that be?

[Legio]

Voting yes. Always helpful guy. Great attitude, spotless moderation record. He also helped out with Me, Miraj, and the Broken Crescent forums last year.

RIDE WITH ME

nab another one for content staff?

[Mega Tortas de Bodemloze]

He is a very likable/capable guy. I think content staff would prosper by his contributions...

[Hesus de bodemloze]

nab another one for content staff?

What would you suggest? Some of the editorials are in need of writers, or that's what i have heard.

[Leonidas The Lion]

I once a guys called Beer Money in VCO?

As for his contribution, they are definitely not enough.
We have rejected member with far more.
A no from me.

A Team guide writers. Contact him Hazel!!

A brief note:

[AAR] M2TW: Catalunya - A Consolidation of Power
[AAR] M2TW: The Survival of Catalunya

These two are archived in the Scriptorium which should count a bit more as a contribution.

His interest seems to be M2TW but more specifically in something of interest to the Critics' Quill. hat should be the first stop for a recruit.
