Want to be a part of the mapcheck team?

By kz`Moxx mapper·
As it seems the mapcheckteam is running on a bit of a low.
That is why we are looking for 1-2 new members to fill out the empty space.
I know alot of people are interested in a position in the mapchecking team, that's why we are doing this public.

What is required if you search for an position?
1. You need to be active.
2. You need to be able to check several maps a week.
3. You need to have a good personality.
4. You need to know relatively good english.
5. You need to keep your feelings aside and not vote yes because of a friend.
6. You need to be mature, we dont want a no vote because you dont like a certain person.
7. You need to have some experience in either mapping or jumping.
8. You need to be previously unwarned on the site.

Wow this seems interesting, how do I apply?
1. Play the map (from the start to the end)

2. Post your Opinion about the map, using THIS sheet:

2.1. The Jumps - Are they copied? / Are they new? / Is it fun to jump up these jumps? / Are they realistic (no blocks "floating" in the air and stuff)

2.2. The Textures - Are they good lookin? / Are they stolen? / Is there a cool background? / Are they realistic?

2.3. The architecture - Good/bad architecture? / Annoying teleporters or connected rooms? / Does the architecture fit (to the theme)

2.4. FPS and Bugs - Wallbugs? / Good FPS rate? / Shortcuts?

2.5. Challenge - Is the Map challenging (Easy, hard, xtreme) / Is this map good for records? / Can newbs complete the map, too?

2.6 Suggestion/fixtures - If your decision is no to kz/custom - What suggestions would you like to give to the mapper to make his map better?

3. Resume/Vote:

Your final Opinion on the Map!
->Should we add it?

=>YES/NO

If your vote is no: =>YES/NO to CUSTOM?

Aha, so what maps do I check and send in?
The maps we need you to check and perform a mapcheck is mto_greencave & kzsca_suburbia.

So where do I post my application?
You write it in a textfile and send the textfile to kz`Moxx on irc.
And it needs to contain the 2 mapchecks you performed, ofcourse using our mapcheck sheet.

And if I have any questions?
You send a private message to kz`Moxx at Quakenet stating your question.

19/05/2008 15:15:00

Let's say about 5-6 days

19/05/2008 15:56:00

St0nec0ld, http://dict.leo.org/ nobody said that you are not allowed to use a dictionary :D

19/05/2008 16:00:00

Moxx i don't understand why you made this news, honestly. There is no chance that the "outsiders" (those who aren't in xtreme-jumps entourage) to get a post in the mapchecking team. Do i have to remind you that the same shit happened with the subbmisions for the weekly crew ? I didn't saw any outsiders, just "your mens" !

19/05/2008 16:13:00

I'm comin for you Moxx XD

19/05/2008 16:21:00

kzro`CyclopP Let me ask you a question, if your the boss of a company and you have 2 people that applies. 1. A 30 year old man that worked in the same kind of business for 12 years. 2. A 18 year old man that never worked in a business like you own before. Which one do you choose? It's kind of obvious if you ask me. It's not about picking "new" people, it's about picking the right person for the job, and the one that will do the best job.

19/05/2008 18:10:00

Kz`Moxx In that situation you're right. But unfortunately we are talking here from a different point of angle. There is another posibility to. You can pick the 2nd choice and if that guy is devoted to his work and willing to learn new stuffs, i guarantee to you... no, in fact i'm 100% positive that that man will go higher than the one from 1st choice. What are you trying to say to me ? That only those from xtreme-jumps have the ability to work in kz scene ? There are hundreds of people who are way better and who can make something more beautiful that those who are curently working for this community. No offense guys, i do appreciate your work, but from my point of view something is not right here. I don`t know if you realise this, but one thing stands out from your post : that only you guys have a real chance to get a job in this community , so i don`t really see any point in the "news" that you posted. Sorry Moxx, i can't see here an interest for promoteing new guys who can make a great job for this community. Like i said before, if you're not in xtreme-jumps entourage, you have no chance to work for this community. I apologize if someone felt insulted and i apologize if i'm not right.

19/05/2008 18:11:00

That's not what I meanth. Ofcourse new guys can be interesting, but it's still about whos gonna make the best job. And your saying JAy and loopah in the weeklycrew isnt someone new?

19/05/2008 18:15:00

Sounds interesting. GL!

19/05/2008 19:23:00

Very interesting, i think i'll aply...

19/05/2008 19:25:00

I very much agree with kzro`CyclopP, except for a BIG point. I mean REALLY big. Now it's not just applications. It's like testing everyone. Those who dedicated most of their energy and time for the mapchecks surely get the best results with it. Best choice would be that the mapchecks would be anonymous, but that could be a little hard to arrange.

19/05/2008 20:18:00

"And your saying JAy and loopah in the weeklycrew isnt someone new?" everyone is able to write a weekly, you dont need any skills

19/05/2008 20:34:00

I would say yes, u need some skills.

19/05/2008 21:19:00

i think that everyone should test the "new" map and post into a special forum section because the map arnt made only for the people vith high standars, the maps are made for the COMUNITY and why not the whole COMUNITY test the map and vote for it and if the whole community test the map (or at least the persons that are intrested) i assure you that there will be more bugs (sc's ...) found when it is tested only by checkteam i don't say that the mapcheckteam shoud disapear but it we can make something interesting like 50% mapcheckteam vote + 50 comunity vote or something like this ofcoure someone that is in the mapchecteam and it is a mapper and it has high expectations from a map, he will vote against the mai if he doesnt consither the map beautifull. but maybe 50of the comunity whoud like this map to be a release

19/05/2008 21:20:00

+1 kzro`CyclopP At least someone had balls to say that.

19/05/2008 21:34:00

i dont understand why you would say it though. this post is so that the entire community can apply and knows about spots needed on the mapcheck team. its to make it fair.

Mentalo
19/05/2008 21:39:00

+1 clair The team needs people who can either beat the maps that are submitted and have some knowledge about mapping! Why do you want someone who hasnt got these skills to be a mapchecker? i dont get your problem cheers

19/05/2008 22:07:00

Hmm... whats wrong with blocks floating in the air ? I personally hate "realism" in kz maps. Most of the maps are done so that you jump near a wall thats just boaring imo!

19/05/2008 22:22:00

you arent supposed to jump near a wall..... thats the most common problem every jumper is jumping near the wall and then he is complaining about wallbugs....

19/05/2008 22:29:00

Innovative maps ftw we have enough oldskool maps. :)

19/05/2008 22:32:00

To all of you: If you are interested in becoming a member of the map-check-team fill in the sheet the best you can. If you did your job better than the 30years old guy you'll get on the ship! Xtreme-Jumps really tries to develop some democratic tendencies (same opportunities blah blah..) Realize the opportunites you are given and fight for your aims. Don't hide your fears of losing behind a mask of accusation. It's not the other's fault if you lose. Do you really think there's conspiracy going on? I joined XJ about 1 and a half year ago and I was on the mapchecking team once (Tribute to Angie, Great Person) but after be reforms and change I left kz for a while. Even for me its hard to get back on the team. I asked Moxx(at least i guess it was moxx) personally once weither he might get me back in again but he wouldnt.. If I had a funtioning computer I'd apply too!

19/05/2008 22:38:00

I think it's ok to refer to a thread a composed some time ago. It holds the [link=http://xtreme-jumps.eu/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?91866]Blueprints of a more democratic mapchecking-system[/link]. :D

19/05/2008 23:08:00

I think it's just stupid to let the community test and find bugs etc.. Because then the whole excitement of a map-release would be gone. I think it's important that the upcoming maps are not exposed to the public.

19/05/2008 23:14:00

this is a nice idea. great to see an open application for the mapchecking process.. and if i cared more about them, id apply myself.. but on an-off-topic issuse... WHERE THE FUK IS KZ_LONGJUMPS2??? CMON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19/05/2008 23:18:00

i agree wrath. [quote] - Your first big mistake was to "send" the map to other ppl/servers before it got officially released. [/quote] -taken from the denied maps forum post about kz_iraq there is a reason that the community does not vote on maps as a complete whole

20/05/2008 00:34:00

yeah sounds n1 :D

20/05/2008 03:19:00

hey what's good guys. once i get ungrounded and i can be online when my dad is home, i'm thinking about re-joining the mapcheck team. unfortunately, i don't know when that will be. once i'm free, i'll let you guys know if i'm still interested in taking the spot (depending on how much partying i'll be doing this summer) :)

20/05/2008 10:09:00

syKo kz_lj2 is still being finalized :p, and to other people, when i joined the mapcheck team no one knew who i was lol, so it is possible to join and be unknown :p

20/05/2008 11:31:00

Hah seriously who hasn't heard of simplicity? ;)

20/05/2008 14:54:00

Yeah liquidi, I wonder too :) And clair that's the main reason in my opinion too.

20/05/2008 15:13:00

warth^ ... learn reading. And if it's to much for you to read it all, read at least the first 2 sentences... idiot

22/05/2008 23:49:00

Dalai ? I don't get what you mean dude.. And I don't remember where my comment was headed to.

26/05/2008 13:50:00
