If someone applied in a mail, when will you answer?
Cheers,
William
I'll only reply to emails to request more information. If you never receive a reply it probably means we decided to go with someone else. We're not looking for a ton of people just a couple to fill each position. Right now we definitely need more people to apply for programming and design. Content Editor is pretty much full. I could also use one more Game Scenario Writer.
Boy did I fail. I didn't realise I'd timed out. Try again.
So, if you reply asking us to write something, and we send it to you and you don't reply, does that essentially mean we didn't get it, or...?
I was wondering the same thing as Rylan...
If I don't reply it means I already found too many people for the position or I just haven't replied yet. =P
When you've picked the whole team, will you let us all know who the lucky people are? :)
Sure thing. :)
Applied for Content Editor! I'll probably get turned down, but if you don't try, you never find out.
Hey Danilo,
Are you still accepting applications? If so, what's still open?
All the positions listed are currently available.
How many spaces are left then
Hey can i please get in trouble
Danilo, you never seemed to reply to my latest E-Mail, did you want anything more?
If you reply, does that mean they have the position?
Are there still positions available as of today?
Any update on this? o.o
Also asking what Harry did ^
Err, update please?
New staff and a management team to recruit?
Good luck!
Last time I only filled two game writer positions and the content editor position. All those people have since left. I'm actively recruiting new people.
Content Editor. *_*
Perfect. Applied. Hope my resume is good enough.
Applied for Developer/Programmer! Any ideas as to when we might hear from someone about the roles we applied for?
A crazy amount of applications aren't saying what their in-game name is. That's quite a useful piece of (non-personal) information, people.
Hmm...I shall most certainly apply for the developer position.
