Steadfast needs help!

Due to lack of personnel the Steadfast Team has decided to look for some new members here on HLP.

What we need are (in order of priority, descending):

GRAMMAR CHECKERS

WEAPON CREATORS

MODELLERS to modify existing ships (adding fighterbays), not to create new ones

SKILLED FREDDERS, able to work with standard- and in-mission-cutscenes. Knowledge of
SCP SEXPs required

TESTERS

Since the Project is ambitious, we’d like to have experienced persons applying here (i.e., for those who want to learn how to use FRED there is the Academy --> NO NOOBS!!!), and, if possible, persons who are able to grant constant presence and availability.

To apply, post here. For any question on the campaign and its status, post here or send me a PM.

Thanks in advance,

The Steadfast Team

whats steadfast?

[Mobius]

It's an Inferno campaign. One of the most ambitious and complex campaigns ever(FREDding). Darth_DySkO is busy because of the University and I think I will not be able to work on the remaining cutscenes all by myself, so...we're asking for help. I'd like to repeat that we need high level FREDders, and "normal" modellers/modders(the changes to models and table entries are minimal).

[Admiral Edivad]

As Mobius said, it's an Inferno campaign.
I'll provide you some further desciiption when i have some more time, for now i can suggest you to check Skippy's Campaign List:
http://campaignlist.hard-light.net/campaign-92-steadfast_episode_one.htm

In any case, more detailed descriptions of the campaign (i.e. mission schemes) will be sent to the new members as soon as possible.

[Snail]

By "high level FREDders," they mean people who can make missions of around 100+ kb's.

[Admiral Edivad]

Welcome in the Team, snail! (or should I say "welcome BACK in the Team"?)

[Bob-san]

Just so you all know, you'll need to PM Mobius for the link to our private forum (admins are myself and Mobius). I'll give you a briefing when you get there.

[Snail]

Ah, those evil TSP forums that I forgot about... Are you still using those?

[Bob-san]

If you must refer to them as evil, well yes we are (upon last check ). How are the evil?

[AllStarZ]

I have great grammar. But do you really need someone with good grammar?

[Dark Hunter]

I grammar-checked a few of their missions in the past... and yes, they do. 

(No offense intended to any Steadfast people.)

EDIT: I maybe should point out I am not applying to help out. Sorry. I'm just too busy right now.

[Admiral Edivad]

yes, they do. 

yes we do!
mobius is italian, i'm italian too, and our english is not perfect.
The grammar check of the 1st episode will be a bit complicated, since mobius continues to modify the missions after he gives them to testers & co.. For the 2nd episode, you'll find long and easy-to-correct Word documents with all the messages and briefings (as well as holes and yellow higlightings meaning "I don't know what word to put here" or "I don't know how to arrange this sentence").

[Snail]

I have great grammar. But do you really need someone with good grammar?

The word "but" is a conjunction and should not be used at the beginning of a sentence.

Romanes eunt domus!

[Topgun]

I am we wonder if us are able to fred?

Offense? We're more than proud of having Italian as home language.

I don't feel offended...did you know that I have never studied English grammar? Mine is an "Italinglish"

I am we wonder if us are able to fred?

Are you volunteering or something? We need super-mega-iper-exa-kilo-tera-high level FREDders. Basically, we need Karajorma but he's busy with his projects.

To be honest, we are in need of one or more expert FREDders. Grammar checkers/testers/modellers can wait...

The word "but" is a conjunction and should not be used at the beginning of a sentence.

Yeah, yeah...
'Never-phrases-without-verbs'
'And never start a phrase with a conjunction'
'Don't use abbreviat.'
'"Don't use quotes", as my teacher said'
'Don't use commas, since, they, are, not, necessary'
'They warned you billions and billions of times: don't exaggerate!'

Actually it can be used at the beginning of a sentence to emphasize it.  However when using it this manner, you run the risk of doing it too often, and that detracts from the quality of the writing.

not really. if there are some checkers, i'll "use" them for ep2; modellers &co for the pachet's fighteray and the new weapons.
testers can wait.

so, only AllStarZ is volunteering? C'mon guyz...

@AllStarZ: PM Mobius or Bob-san; for some unknown reason i can't admit you to the private forum, but they can. once you're there, i'll give you the first texts to correct.

[Mad Bomber]

Romanes eunt domus!

(off-topic)
I remember that scene. Having taken Latin myself made it all the more hilarious

(back on topic)
If no one else volunteers, I'll do the grammar checking.

[colecampbell666]

I am very meaning to be help with grammar. It'll be Canadian English.

[Admiral Edivad]

not bad. 3 checkers (4 with MP-Ryan who "volunteered" long time ago) are better than 1. 

PM mobius or bob-san for the private forum


ok, now that you volunteered and can't return on your steps (italian translated saying, may not have sense in english) remember, we're non-english people and we want to do an excellent campaign. thus we'll ask you to pay attention not to the grammar only, but also to the style of the speechs.
 for example there are some pilots who'll use an almost "slangish" language, while on the other hand emperor konshu's speechs are full of metaphors.
moreover, you'll be asked not to check only, but, to some extents, to "create" the parts of the messages i can't render with my english level.

what you get for doing this? ask Mobius...
