Ryuusei Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ugh... as much as I want to apply. (I could) I have no access to all parts of the site -_- I'm an experienced writer actually and can cover 7 am - 6 pm I think... But... I will have to leave for my grandma's house soon so I might no be able to post that times... Anyways good lucks to the applicants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Person335 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 As much as I want to be on the Altador Cup news team... I think I'm going to pass. I like being a freelancer, and I think I'm going to need some more experience before I go and apply to a professional site. I can qualify, it's just that... meh, I don't know... P.S. I don't think I exactly understand what the Altador Cup commentary and prediction sample are. Could someone elaborate on that more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I would apply if I wasn't working on my own page this year. Maybe next year. Good luck recruiting, TDN. ^^ Lol, plus i'm not 16 which I didn't know was a requirement. xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrtbrk Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Our Altador Cup team is fantastic and they have a lot of fun during the summer writing for us! If you're a little unsure about applying but are obsessed with the AC, you really should apply anyway. You've got nothing to lose and all of our insanity to gain!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiaircraft Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Lol, plus i'm not 16 which I didn't know was a requirement. xP aww... too bad. Im not old enough :P maybe when I turn 16 I'll work for tdn! :laughingsmiley: 16 is a preference, not a requirement - the requirement is 13. ;) If I recall correctly, I joined TDN staff long before I turned 16. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 P.S. I don't think I exactly understand what the Altador Cup commentary and prediction sample are. Could someone elaborate on that more? Here's daily predictions from last year's finals: Click Here It's basically the matches for the day, who will win in what game, and why. For a commentary example you can check the old ACV archives for news like this one. If anyone has more questions they can post them here or they can send me a PM.

Roddy Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I would join TDN is I was old enough. I love this site and the AC coverage, it's my favorite of all the help sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Really the major requirements for this position is someone who plans to be online and available at midnight NST during the whole cup. If you are over 13 years old, you should have access to all parts of Neopets. Some countries don't have access to the NC Mall, but that would not be a big deal for that position.

Rowan Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Doesn't 100 words per prediction minimum seem a little long-winded? I mean, the longest prediction on last years finals was 77 words. The shortest one was 31 words. I just feel like there's only so much you can say in these predictions without either getting redundant or getting outrageous.

I'm on at midnight everyday, and have plenty of time to do the predictions. I'm just not 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to break the rules so long as you believe you have satisfactorily completed the requirement. ;) I like rule breakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke one or two, but I feel like they're fairly justifiable. Either way, it's too late to change anything. Submitted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 This sounds like tons of fun, but unfortunately, I barely have tie to just play neopets and go on TDN! Oh well. Good luck to anyone else who submitted. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivia_D Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Ugh! In order for me to qualify I'd have to be able to be on at 3am daily! I love sleep too much. Otherwise I'd totally sign up. I'd finally put my creative writing class to good use... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbbug132 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm considering applying. . . But I don't know, I'm not really an AC fanatic but I enjoy it. :worried: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7_rayne_7 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I would love to, but since my husband is due to return during the AC, and I do not feel that I could dedicate myself enough to apply. Good luck to all applicants! 0:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Meepit Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I qualify apart from being under 13... why o we need neoboard access? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Lyuba Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I pretty much qualify, I'm far beyond 13 or even 16, and it's NST where I live, so I'm up at midnight almost every night. And I'm really into the AC. I'm just not sure if I really want to, but I'll consider it; maybe I WILL apply! Yeah, count me in, why not? ...Though I do admit I have had no experience... :* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thank you to everyone who has applied so far! (If you have not applied yet, it's not too late!) We are still reviewing applications and need to discuss them further before sending any kind of replies, so please hang on tight :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachany Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I wish I could apply, but the only thing is that I'm missing some requirements (dang!): I'm not 16, and I have...some understandings of HTML coding :P Anyways, TDN, good luck hiring!
