Are you interested in becoming an EB Closed Beta Tester? RECRUITMENT.

This was my original post plus a whole lot of edits. I have now put it into one nice, complete deal.

I would love to help out if I can. I am still in high school. I have a GPA above 4.0 and I take all honors classes. When I get to college I plan on majoring in history or some sort of HTML/web design thing.

"Write detailed reports on bug/balance findings."
I write reports and research papers all the time for school. I just wrote one about nuclear power.

I am fluent in English and I am not a bad writer. I also know a little bit of Spanish, if that matters.

"Regularly perform minor code changes and downloads as necessary to maintain build playability. (You will be given instructions for code changes. No prior experience with code is necessary.)"

I am fairly familiar with some of the text files, especially the descr_strat file. I have learned about them entirely through trial and error. As soon as started a campaign and realized that all of the cities were underdeveloped and I couldn't train any triarii or princeps, I found that file and started playing around with it. I also have done some basic modding with Rise of Nations.

"Engage in analytical thinking to investigate bug sources."

That's how I figured out how to edit the descr_strat file. I am very good at recording data also. I do a lot of this with a historical college football rating system that I developed and maintain.

"Adhere STRICTLY to EB's community relations policies."

I don't think that I would have a problem with this.

"Be able to work independantly in the absence of instructions."
I work well alone.

"Contribute no less than 15 hours per week of playtesting.'

I would be available to do whatever you want me to as long as I don't have to0 much homework. Some weeks I would not be able to get to the full 15 hours, but on other weeks I could work longer. I couldn't do very much work for you until after next Tuesday because I have football practices and a game plus whatever homework that I have. Once football ends I will have much more time.

"Work in a team environment and be willing to follow directions."

That's what football is all about. That and knocking the snot out of people with who have a different color shirt on.
