We currently don't have any real need for a specific lore writer, a lore writer will only really be required post 1.2.0 and Kickstarter. The most we 'need' right now are small descriptions on each village and their relationship to the other villages, and although I wouldn't be against someone developing the lore of the game further, there are far better uses of said persons’ time and English skills on things like the dev blog and management of our social media- hence why I opened this position rather than a lore writers position. And although I am sure in the future, when it is needed, we will open up such a position to members of the community, I am immediately put off by your attitude. The lack of the skill is not what I have a problem with, that can be learnt, it is the fact that you have ‘no desire to learn’ whatsoever – those kind of ideals are simply not suited to an indie dev team the size of ours, or any ‘team’ really. Every dev on this team has had to learn different skills and take on different roles then they would ideally like to, for the good of the team and the project. I had no particular ‘desire’ to even start the dev blogs in the first place but I thought it would be beneficial both for us to get our work quality out there to draw in new supporters and team members and for the community to get a further insight into our developments, so I did it. In the same way if you watched a 15-minute tutorial on the basic aspects of Photoshop alongside guidance from me you could have a very positive impact for the game and would still have the chance to work on the games lore. That being said, and to reiterate, we will not be opening a ‘lore writer only’ position, if you want to be on this team, you will have to work for it, and perhaps not do exactly what you want to do at all times, but instead learn and evolve knowing that everything you do both will benefit the project and your own skillset.
Thanks and keep applying people, still got some time before i start selecting people to move onto the next stage :)
I'm afraid that the bad first impression you gave us no longer makes you eligible for this role against better candidates that do have a desire to learn and take on new things without us having to tell them. Bad first impressions will do that for you, not just here at SLO but at most other fields of life. The first impression you give is extremely important, because after all you are only an option in this world and why would anyone take a risk with you when they can get someone else, keep that in mind.

Sorry for the late reply, I listened to your advice and took it upon myself to watch several Photoshop tutorial videos. I must admit that I do still have slight trouble with certain functions but I have made fair progress.
I didn't want to align myself with anything to do with photoshop/picture editing due to my seriously lacking artistic ability, lack of internet at home and new college timetable. Not to mention the freelance writing I have backed up. However I would be prepared to step outside my comfort zone and make time if it means I could make a contribution - however minimal - to this project.
I do admit that I was rather immature in my dismissal of the role however I didn't do it out of a lack of interest/respect but rather the fact that I genuinely thought that someone else would have been able to make a better input than me in regards of photoshop. After all we do already have several individuals who design pictures for the fun of it.
However, if it means that I would get to be the lore writer, I am ready to overcome my natural disinterests and earn my place on the team.
Thank you for your advisory words, they were much appreciated; I hope I am still in consideration for this role.
So Malix, a guy who has never posted nor got involved in the community gets through consideration to manage the social aspects of the game.Firstly it's not community manager, it's social media manager which basically means someone who posts stuff to our social media about updates. Second, someone who is involved as you say is preferred, however the most important criteria of this position is still being a great writer and knowing your way around editing programs like Photoshop.
The social media manager should be in touch with the community and I'm afraid I don't think this guy is.
I'd like to see you come on man or get involved a bit, as to me if someone isn't part of the community why should they have a role which could lead to managing it?
That aside, good luck to all of you
I'm rooting for Whatasnipe as I feel he'd be a brilliant pick for the team, and if I knew he was interested I would have said the same from the start.

Hey all,
I just wanted say a couple of things to hopefully alleviate some tension. First of all I'm grateful for being considered for the position and I look forward to the next step in the process.
Secondly and more importantly, I understand that I haven't been here long and did not hide this fact in my application. The truth of the matter is I simply did not know about SLO until very recently and since then I've checked the forums every day. Having said that, I do have some good experience the software development and writing as well as a healthy love for Naruto/ninjas which I can only presume is at least partially what led me to the next stage of applications.
Now I understand that many people feel that long time members of the community should be more favoured for these types of positions and I am more than aware that this is a very tight-knit community of followers and friends. Still I do feel I have the necessary qualifications for the job and at the end of the day, regardless if I'm chosen or not, I will continue to follow and support this game now that I've found it :).
Really, as long as the best person for the position gets it I'll be satisfied :D
I didn't think I would make it through tbh.. I'm flattered that some people think I'd be a good fit. I just got out of a 3 year relationship and I'm a bit of a mess rn but I'll do my very best for the next stage.pray4whatasnipe
