Jobs in WHITE are open, but not necessary.
Jobs in RED are full, obviously.

SIGN-UP APPLICATION
In order to take one of these jobs, you need to fill out this form. Also, something that isn't worth putting on the form, you need to be dedicated and somewhat-serious.

• Name to be recognized on paper by:
• Job you would like:
• An example of work: (if you think there is a really good post you've made, please make a link it.)

If you do use a previous post, it must be 4-5 sentences long at the least.

There is a Job Description File at the bottom of this post, if you apply for a job you will need to download this file as it contains what your job is about and such. There is a description for each group in a different file. Here is the list of what you should download

Supervisor and Co-Supervisors should download all files, that way they're ready to fill in for anyone.

Oh, and since I was bored, I made this for you guys who sign up ^^

http://xs121.xs.to/xs121/07472/POTCO...otographer.png

Descriptions/Rules

An Idea.
 

Advice and Tips are 2 (rather, kinda, sorta) different things so what if i do a short section like "Silver's Quick Tip." and do the photographing like you said in the pm? Oh and keep checking your pm's soon I will send you a "preveiw" for Silver's Tip. Oh and it might be a little while.

Well, I'll wait to see your "preview" before I take off the red mark. Also, I prefer everyone only have 1 job, so that everyone here has a fair chance to do something.

EDIT: Silver, once again ye' got the job. PirateAhoy said, and I quote...
In other words, he won't get mad if I let you do a segment related to it too. I will just PM you your description/rules. (note: the one I'm sending you is different from the previous one

What would the "Discussion Topic" be (In general)?

Something like a poll, without the poll. For example in the november issue, I went back to a topic about whether we should be able to customize our ships. Other good examples of a discussion topic would be...

Should trading be in the game?
Gold for a frigate, is it worth it?
Are guilds really necessary?

...or something like that.

Very well then, I'll take the Other Stories job.

* I'd like to be known as BadgerDog - Please don't put a space in between Badger and Dog and or not capitalize the D, I have a pet peeve about that.
* Other Stories
* This is a story series that many people liked on TTC: The Rewind Series.

Very well, your first story can be on anything you like, forum or not. Since I have no photography job you may submit a picture to go with your story, but it is not required. This is due by Dec 10th. Oh, and unless all the "other stories" slots fill up, I'll need your topic before that.

~The POTCO Report Crew~

Updates for 11/19/07:
 

(I feel desperate, with all this "semi" double-posting in my own threads. Oh well, some people enjoy this, and I won't let it die like my shop at TTC! ^^ Besides, it's been past 24 hours, so if I read the rules right this isn't double posting.)

• Added a new job, photography! While we would prefer you sign in as a writer at this time, we do not mind you signing on for photography. Note to the wise though, we're looking for someone with good graphics who can take "semi" proffesional looking pictures, so if you sign up you must send a picture in to be judged. December 10th is the deadline to send your submission picture in, and the winners of the job will be announced in the December report!
• Added head of photgraphy, this is the person who helps to make reviews images before being sent to me for final reviewing.
• Added advisor, this person helps me make decisions on how we can improve the report.

*Notice* There is no photography.txt yet, I will put this in today or tommorow

Oh, and this will probably be the only job update this week, so...

Aghrr! Thanks! And can I get a photographer to take a pic of where my tip is "based"?

Well, I'm not going to put you down as one, since it's an entirely different job. Feel free to go ahead and take the pics though!

EDIT: I read your post wrong, whoops. I didn't really plan to have a photographer for anything but the stories, you can ask one of them to do it for you, but I can't promise it'll show up do to "room" issues.

Note on the photography since I didn't go into detail about that. Allure and I tweaked the idea so that instead of a writer being assigned to their own personal photographer, all you need to do is ask one to take a pic. ^^

Ok, well update. Unfortunately due to the crash, we have temporarily (I hope) lost our "suprise" and sticky. I will re-update this thread and PM everyone what they need as of now ASAP

EDIT: To mistake:
If Allure PM'd you, you can come. It's more of a forum shop than a job, but I've seen you're work and we might work together on the site and newsletter, that is, if you want anyways. If she hasn't, I'm going to have to pull her out of the arcade. ^^

I hate it when no-one posts here before an update, it makes me feel like I'm spamming the thread up (Course, I sorta am...)

Anyways, we have another new job available to clean up our news a bit...

EDITORS
The editors will have stories PM'd from me to each of them as evenly as possible to check for errors. Then they will PM the revised version to me to be pasted in the POTCO report. I'll try to get a rule/description file up soon, but here's the qualifications for the job.

Friendly
Good Grammer
Constant (On our forum enough to know that you have stuff to edit.)

Hope this opens up some opprotunities for everyone!

Ok, I hate having more than one post in a row at all, but sometimes it's necessary to the reprort. We're in need of members for the POTCO Report, and we know they're must be someone out there who can help us. ^^

We've got a bit of a new signup process, so I'm going to post it here instead of the first post.
Step 1: Post here with the application filled out above.
Step 2: After filling out the form and posting it here, our staff will review it. If you make it, I will send you an acceptance letter.
Step 3: Take this acceptance letter, and PM it to Nick, that way he can give you access to the Private Subforum.

Well, I posted the ways to sign up, now I'm off! *runs off to the safety of the sub-forum*

I'd be happy to be both a writer and editor. I write quite often for fun anyway. I could do like a continuing story piece perhaps with a new screencap everytime...like PotC comic type thing. Quill Fire is my name. Quill for short...heh.

Hmm...sample of my work...I'll write something here. "As the massive ships under Jolly Rodger's command loomed ever nearer, Captian Seagull shoted his orders to his crew. Their mutiney would have to wait if they were to see the sun rise again. "Hold your fire, men! Let them get near enough to strike!" A dead silence fell upon the ship, broken only by the groaning of the boards and the lapping of the seas. To be Continued...."

Thanks for signing on, quill_fire. You're application is currently under review at our site, and we should hopefully know if you've been accepted by the end of the day. If so, I'll send Nick a PM asking for you to be added instead of just sending you
the letter. ^^

We have 2/3 for you, so you've made the cut. Here's you're final score as of now.
2 Yes
0 No
0 Undecided
1 Not voted

You'll be recieving a link to our site soon, and I'll be sure to PM Nick on your access to our subforum/your "reporting pirate" tag

Ooh! Could I be a photograper or an editor?

We don't mind if you want to sign up, but please fill this form out first. Also, if you'd like to be a photographer, we need to see an image of yours. ^^

Once you fill this out I'll send it in and we'll have it reviewed!

(quill_fire, check your group memberships to see if Nick added you or not.)

Cool. I look forward to working with you.

EDIT: I haven't been added to the group yet as far as my group membership page goes.

Nick just PM'd me saying he did, go check now. ^^

Got it. Thanks.

i would like to join as another photographer i already have many many picutres in my files and im still expanding it

Oops, sorry! Here's the form:

Some work:

How do I make the little Report Writer bar thing a link in my sig???

Use this.

I'm submitting your applications right now, but don't expect to know until tommorow.

thank you.

No problem mate. ^^

EDIT: For now both of you are "unnoficial" members. You won't get access to our site or the subforum w/title yet, but my co-supervisors dissapeared and they have to take a vote first. I don't like making people wait, so for now, welcome. ^^ quill_fire, there's you 2 photographers to help you out with your story.

Well, my co-supervisors (and the rest of my staff) have dissapeared, so with a score of...
1 yes
0 no
2 undecided

You both make the cut for the job. I'll send you a site link soon, but I don't know when I can get you access to the sub-forum. Batleth might be able to, I'll PM him about it. ^^

HELLOOOOOOOO? Im here you know.:piratewheelgo2:

I say yes to everyone.:bookishfj7:

Welcome the crew mates. I'll send you guys a picture assignment soon.

ill join i dont know what i can do though

Well...you need to say:

What job you want: (Editor, Photographer, Writer.)
Forum name:
An example of your work:

That's all you need and we will reveiw you on our forum.

:buds:

We need a discussion topic writer. ^^

EDIT: Oh and SB, the name isn't your forum name, it's what you want to be known as on the paper. ^^

OOPS, my bad. ^^

I want to just be know as "quill". :) Only time I'll change my mind.

Alright, I'll remember that. ^^

Lets hope you do...you always called Zhalin a boy...until she corected you.*smirks*

But that was different... I think. Anyways, like SB said, whenever you decide on a job just fill out this form.

Adding a new set of jobs, please help us fill the spots in! We will now have 12, yes, 12 event staff to run the events we hold, anyone in the report already may have to help during an event if we need more than 12 people, and you'll still get to help plan the events. ^^

ok i know im a photographer but i wont mind being an event staff i understand if im already joined :D

You don't have to sign up mate, the entire team helps on the events anywasys. ^^

BTW, you can add a... just go to the sub-forum and make up a... I can't explain it without giving it away! XD

I will sign up, I can do any of the positions available, just tell me which. :)

We do need some event staff for February 9th, you up to that? I think that's the only job you don't have to qualify for, and you get to help work on all our events! ^^

I am up to it. Just tell me what to do!

Nothin' yet, I'll have to catch Batleth, Nick, or Tepcat sometime tomorrow to get you subforum access, since I can't add you myself and all our discussion for the event's are secretly stowed away in there. ^^

Ok, well I will be on after 3PM EST tomorrow. So, a simple PM will work.

I'm PMing Batleth with a list of people now, since I'm gonna be on and off today.

Name to be recognized on paper by: Captain Hill
Job you would like: Editor
An example of work: Since I really don't know how to show you my editing skills, your just going to have to believe me with this one. I am the editor of our middle schools newspaper. If you think there is a way to show you, just tell me and I will :)

How come when I see another person wanting the editor job I always feel like someone is going to outclass me like before? Anyways, Hurry up Jackie!:psmiley27:

Silver, you're allowed to post them too, I don't have to. Anyways, I'll put this up on the site right now.

Also, if you edit a school newspaper I'll take you're word for it, especially considering I only see that you only made one mistake
in everything you wrote. (forgot a period at the very end. ^^)

Hmm...I think he did put a period...It was just in the form of a light yellow smiley. And ok!:psmiley27:

I'd love to join the crew!
Can I do two maybe three jobs? I would like to be an Editor maybe, Discussion Topic writer, and for SURE the Parlay Review, I love critics.

I prefer a max of two, and I've got a new policy which I've yet to post. ^^

If you are signing up for a writing job or event staff, PM me with you're application.
Editors PM Silver Beard
Photographers will PM Badgerdog for now, since Zhalin's been a bit dormant as of late. ^^

Do you think I could do Editor and Parlay Review? By the way, what does the application look like, where can I copy it from to PM to the person I need to apply to?

Somewhere around the bottom of the first page, it just blends in a bit. I'll make it stick out some more, hang on.

PM the editor apps to SB and the review to me for now, that may change if PirateAhoy will take one off my hands.

I'm not seeing any applications for a Parlay Review, not even for Editor.
Sorry.

It's just one application, hang on...

Just fill out 2, use the same name and example. (Editor and writer people look for grammar, thus why we need that) Only difference would be "Job you would like", and just put Parley Review on one and Editor on the other. ^^

who out classed you before silver???

Name wanted to be recognized by: Captain Morgan.
Job wanted: Writer of any sort, but my speciality is discovering game mechanics, skill discussion, strategy discussion, game potential, and many other things. As for dedication and seriousness, I'm a college student and have had alot of experience writing and submitting works for publication. Previous posts of mine include a large and ongoing project that is attempting to give a basic description, opinion, and stats of every skill in the game in order to help new players determine where to put skill points. That can be found here: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ead.php?t=2728










~Capt. Morgan

Wow...glad to see we are getting applications now...

Alright, sent my applications for the two jobs. I cant wait for the answer, I LOVE to write and edit. You wont find a single mistake in my editing or writing, just so you know.

I'll PM you with my answer soon, I read it but have other things I promised before this to attend to. Expect something in a little over a half-hour from me, idk about SB.

I sent the PM, and you are accepted.:pirate6:

Are any of those comments directed toward my own application? Was I supposed to PM my app rather than post it here? I truly would like to be considered for this, so if you're lacking any information that I can help with please let me know.




~Capt. Morgan

You can put it here...Just try to send Editor Apps to me via Greenland...I mean, PM.:laughks2:

I sent you one.. :P

I know, and it is pending...I think. *checks* Let me see...

Sorry I took so long Captain Morgan, didn't even catch the post. I think you might be a suitable person to take silver's tip. (I'll rename it. ^^) I've been trying to fill his spot and as said here...

...that looks like a good spot. You don't have to do it the way Silver did, you can make something up for your own style, just get the works in on time. ^^ (Next one is Feb 16th btw.)

Oh, and you can PM an admin with adding requests, I'll PM the supervisors with the stamp now.. (Zhalin, SB, Badgerdog, PirateAhoy[I'm counting you too if you don't mind, you're just so much help.])

Who doesn't have sub-forum access, I'm sending a list in a few minutes.

I do not. Yet I think.

The Pirate Report <<< Creative Coffers, if it's not there you don't have it.

Cap'n Morgan?

Creative Coffers is there but no Pirate Report.

Ok, then you don't have it.

Nope, don't have it yet.



~Capt. Morgan

PMing admin now then.

Name to be recognized on paper by: Zeem
Job you would like: Event Staff
An example of work: I Have None. But I Assure You I Am Good. Scary Good at this.

Eh? I don't think you can help for this event..."Find the Silver Scoundrel", since you already posted to find me...but I think you can help on the other stuff.:vwink:

He can help on the other events, yes. We've already set up stuff for this event, so you'll have to start with our March thread.

Also, I say yes, BUT since you signed up for the Silver Scoundrel I can't give you sub-forum access and such until the event ends. (All answers/riddles/ and people are there, can't let you get them. ^^)

LOL...I thought about that...In a way...:vrolleyes:

I Choose "OTHER STORIES" then.

Lol, ok. Any it seems everyone is a founder...what is up with that?

Well you can still do the events, we'll hold one every month. Either way, you can't have the regular privilages until the event's over.

In other words, you've already got the event job for march on if you want. (We're already planning it) but there's no way for me to hide the clues from you without keeping you out. ^^

So, do you still want event staff or you wanna stick with other stories. Just wanted to see since I wasn't trying to keep you away from event staff. ^^

Its soooo hard to choose!!! Ok. I'll Pick Other Stories. If it was possible i would also do the Event Staff job too.

I'll just put you down for other stories, because everyone works on the events. ^^

The only thing by event staff is that they have the top say in what's happening during the events.

Wait, can you have more than one job?

Preferably not, but I've allowed a few exceptions if the jobs not really all that much. As said though preferrably not. ^^

Okay, 'cause I was just looking at Parlay Review.
