devastator_ - March 2, 2007 06:41 PM (GMT)
Your Name: Tara
Your Age: 18
Offered Position: Forum Prettificator (Graphic Maker)
Experience: one & a half + years of making graphicalicious magic! ;]
Custom Notes I make graphics. Yup.
Basically, if you wanted me as a graphic-maker, I could make all the fancy little sidebar thinga-ma-jigs you wanted, plus headers, pips, affiliate buttons, sigs, avs, whatever! Also, if you just don't have a knack for picking skins or uploading images, making sidebars, making announcement bars and other general prettifying things, I can do that too.
An example of a site I've done is Ashen. It is my current baby. Also, I'm an Accomplished artist on Rc&R (pinktarantulas).
I'm going to be a little pest right now and say that I'm not just going to come on board, set up your site for you then vanish in a puff of smoke. So don't bother asking me to help you unless you're willing to let me keep the position.
Now, as for roleplaying, I'm average about 4 full paragraphs per post. I don't RP on HP sites, or many other canon based sites like Heroes, Supernatural, whatever...nothing against them, I just don't play them. Capiche? Other than that...I'll read your plot and mull it over. Sound good? Good. <3

I'd love to have you on Onyx Skies. It's a science fiction site centered around a Galactic war. Click the link if you're interested.

I got a high school based rpg that is need of some graphics and some active staff. If you would like to help with the graphics as graphics/co-admin helper feel free to pm me and I'll send you the link.

Okay, I know you think I'm crazy but I did a while back put this rpg up and it generated a lot of interest. And I love the idea and want to make it into a rpg.

What if I want to add my own cannon?: Just pm us with an idea. We aren’t accepting anymore UBER-POPULAR people. However, we’d LOVE to have more canons.
Plot:
Welcome to Little Jimmy, Texas. A small town about 8,000 people mostly high school students as most folk leave town and never come back. It is here that our story begins with James Jackson High. A man named founded James Jackson High in the 1800’s; well you guessed it, James Jackson. The Principle today is Montgomery Jackson whose grandson, James Jackson the 4th is the football captain. Football Nights are like a religious holiday to these folks as the girls pretty themselves up for a wild night of partying and sex. When Monday rolls around, the kids are caught skipping to hang at Montana’s or City Limits. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the infamous bar nights. Everything to the town seemed perfect until...
New York City. A place where thousands of young high school students are getting the chance to escape from. They come from planes, boats, trains, cars, trucks, SUVs, etc to Little Jimmy, Texas for one sole reason. The Program, Honky Tonk Angels, is an association where they take young high school students who have found themselves in trouble with the law and the harsher ways of life out of NYC into the country. There the students are placed with foster families for the year as they work with the kids to straighten out their lives. Unfortunately much like the Little Rock, Arkansas disaster some of the folks in Little Jimmy aren't so...
Welcoming. The older families in town aren’t so welcoming towards the newcomers as some nasty words have been flying back and forth. Some of the "outcast" students getting along fine with the newcomers seeing no difference in the both of them. It will be a hard school year ahead of them. Only time will tell if someday they will be able to get along together as students of James Jackson High. Home of the mighty Pirates.
Plot Information:
Characters allowed: Basically, the idea for the rpg is an urban vrs country. We will have limited scene kids but no emo (Iwannakillmyselfnadwereblackeyeliner) because the rpg is about URBAN vrs COUNTRY. Not EMO VRS EVERYONE ELSE. We have some African American characters and some racist pure-southern old-time families to liven things up a little.
Events:
Every urban person is assigned a “country” family to live with. This creates bonds between the urban and the country kids (if any) or can completely create a house of hell. It promotes people to plot with each other and keeps things interesting.
Football games. Football games are a major event in the rpg as they are in small towns, LJ is based on the town that my co-owner lives in. We’ll roleplay out real games with real scores, cheerleading squads, half-time shows. This goes for soccer, basketball, softball, etc. We act out the sports games.
Country & Urban social events. The principle organizes a lot of events to get the country and urban folks to interact. There’s a dance where the teachers organize characters into pairs. They’ll be with someone of the opposite gender and lifestyle. They’ll be tons of stuff.
Bar nights. Inspired by my co-owner’s town, the bar, City Limits, has a bar night every Tuesday and Thursday. Ladies get in free and the fellas get half-price.
Subplots: We already have three subplots with the canon above but never fear! We have some ideas for a town fair, a shooter gets inside the school, etc. We have a lot of events planned for this rpg to add drama and liven things up
Requirements before reading this message:
All I ask is that you can write at least two good healthy paragraphs for. Most of my members and the admin so far write up to eight paragraphs averaging around 3-5. It’s harder for us to reply with something less. To those that go around looking for an argument over this, do not respond and go to the debate board.
I also require you have owned, co-owned or modded a site or two. Pref. A site that didn’t die off quickly.
Please Note that the canon are only popular and not everything is centered around them. In fact, the rpg is centered around the GENERAL population

If you're looking for just graphics help, or something to that extent, I'd be happy to assist. However, I most likely wouldn't be interested in RPing. Although, sapphire, I think your board is very original and well run, I'm just shoddy at sci-fi RPing.
summerdanez
You board sounds right up my alley! I'll PM you to sort a few things out. (happy)

You seem to have all the qualities I'm looking for in a mod or co-admin, so I'd be obliged if you took a look at the details of my board I posted in the Employment Center.

I would love it if you could be graphics head at my site. You would run the graphics section, as in requests, critique, and verifying portfolios.
wheelie - March 20, 2007 01:14 PM (GMT)
I'm trying to start up a rp based on the Supernatural TV series where the brothers finally get caught by the FBI, and as a result are forced into working for "The Agency". The Agency is a seret government-sponsored organization that investigates strange crimes/events or cases that local police aren't able to solve, and Agency teams are made up of FBI agents, hunters, scientific experts in various fields and sometimes local law enforcement. Obviously, there would also be positions open for suspects/people related to cases and supernatural beings, like those in the show.
I really need a Co-admin and/or graphics head/skinner to help me get the site up and running, and if you could do graphics for the site as well, that would be fantastic!
Reply here or send me a PM if you're interested, and I'll send you the link.

Wow...I forgot about this topic. I'm going to assume that half of you people don't even need my help anymore, considering how fast boards seem to spring up nowadays. However, Silly String and wheelie, I'll PM you guys, since you posted pretty recently. If you still need help, we'll talk it out via PM, sound good? (happy)

I love your work! If you aren't too busy I could also use help with graphics. Mostly I just need a sidebar, and well if you're up for being a moderator that'd be great as well. So, here's the link:
Love in Existence
It is a human RPG with a twist. You can read the plot for details, but I could use the help =)

We need serious pretty-ifying. I don't know if you'd be interested or not:
The Angela MacGrady School for the Arts (AMSA) and the Nicholas Mueller Riding Academy (NMRA) are both located in the small town of Everett, New York. In fact, the two schools are the only thing in Everett. The town is located an hour from New York City, on the New York/New Jersey border. You could say it’s the middle of nowhere.
Angela MacGrady and Nicholas Muller were married in 1945, both of them a tender 18 years of age. Both having grown up in the farming town of Everett, they were high school sweethearts. Angela pursued a career in the music industry while Nicholas followed a dream of riding on the United States Olympic Equestrian Team. Nicholas made it, Angela did not.
As a result, Angela resented her husband, thus rocking their already shaky marriage. In 1952, Angela and Nicholas divorced. Angela returned to her home in Everett and founded AMSA, which officially opened its doors in 1955. Nicholas was still working on his riding career. It was only when he returned to Everett in 1965, at the age of 38 that he found his ex wife running a prestigious arts boarding school. Enraged, Nicholas bought the land in Everett not belonging to AMSA and founded NMRA, which opened in 1966.
The only people who live in Everett, New York are the students and staff of the two rivaling schools. The two properties meet at Everett Park. Everett Park is the center of hostility between the two schools. The hatred between Angela and Nicholas is carried on through stories at both schools, sparking a rivalry that has spanned the years.
Welcome to the year 2007. The rivalry is alive and well, as are the two who sparked it. Nicholas and Angela are 80 this year, and their grandchildren are students at their respective academies. You know parents thrust their dreams on their kids—but what about grandparents?
The students all have one thing in common: they're chasing something. NMRA students want that blue ribbon, that Grand Champion ribbon. They want on the Olympic team. AMSA want to hit the high note, write one great song, or create their masterpiece.
Welcome to Everett, New York, where we're walking on [BROKEN] glass.
