DocAzure 847 Posted January 20, 2014 Oooh, now it's getting exciting. Guess I should wish all you hopefuls (me included) good luck. Whatever happens, it'll result in more staff, and that's always a good thing for the site. 5 Brad, Milo, Uraraka and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hero of Legend 1,557 Posted January 21, 2014 Do we know the possible number of people being picked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badnik Mechanic 33,905 Posted January 21, 2014 Nope. edit: Everyone: WHAT DO YOU MEAN! We're short staffed/want to get more content on the site, so well probably hire people based on that need and if we fill it.... if that makes sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Wisp 4,856 Posted January 22, 2014 Due to the fact we've not had any more applications in for a while. Deadline for Applications: Sunday 26th January. Why yes, that is the end of the week. We'll likely be picking new staff shortly after that date. What. WHAT. But I return from my vacations that day! D: Could I send my application the 27th or 28th? I really want to enter but right now I'm at the beach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badnik Mechanic 33,905 Posted January 22, 2014 Oh go on then... Though really this has been going since December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're applying for a position as a news reporter but you need an extension for an application process that you've already had longer than a month to do?

Hey hey hey I had no idea these vacations were happening 'till a day before, and I thought the process was going to last until February even, not a week earlier. Procastination is a devil. Eh I'll manage it out somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzureHedgehog 57 Posted January 25, 2014 I fit all of the qualifications of being a writer, but why the deadline date? pressure pressure pressure augh i'll try to think of something [i know i'm a newcomer to this thread shush] i am soley reliable as a writer and sonic fan and i am definetally not an idiot who just posts rumours because i don't even read those. hee hee -3 WHY DOES MY SUBMISSION HAVE TO BE 731 WORDS?!

Faseeh 1,181 Posted January 26, 2014 And I guess it's closed (in my time zone at least!). Was fun 'trying out'. 1 DocAzure reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocAzure 847 Posted January 26, 2014 So...is the deadline getting moved forward slightly or what? I mean, I'd guess that's the case. Is it done on Monday then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joy 2,763 Posted January 26, 2014 So...is the deadline getting moved forward slightly or what? I mean, I'd guess that's the case. Is it done on Monday then? The deadline is the 26th of January AKA today. Since this is a UK based site I would guess it's over when we pass midnight here in the UK. Although it really could be at any point so it's whenever Hogfather and/or the other staff decide to close it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad 2,553 Posted January 26, 2014 Yeah, I'm guessing Hogfather will come on and announce the closure later today. I think everyone who wanted to enter will have had their applications in by now anyway. 1 Joy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was talking about Blue Wisp, he asked if he could be allowed entry at a later date, and Hogfather seemed to accept that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badnik Mechanic 33,905 Posted January 26, 2014 You have another 7 hours 35 min. Though It probably won't be until Monday evening (GMT) that I say no more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badnik Mechanic 33,905 Posted January 27, 2014 Ok guys. No more applications please. We'll be going through them and contacting people when we've made a decision. Thanks for all the interest. 7 Brad, Milo, Hero of Legend and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocAzure 847 Posted January 27, 2014 Well, that's it. Time to wait and see how this works out. Good luck to everyone again. 2 Brad and Uraraka reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Komodin 8,831 Posted February 6, 2014 So... going by what I've been seeing since yesterday, I take it the new TSS writers have all been decided now, huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
