Yes, in case you missed the brief message in the chat box, we are currently looking to add some more testers to the team. There will be a two week trial period for the successful candidates, after that if we're happy with your performance and input it will be made a more permanent position.

You will however need to be able to meet the following criteria:

1) Regular activity in First Strike (if you cant find time to play you probably won't be able to find time to test!)

2) Use of IRC, we use it to discuss aspects of the mod and arrange testing. THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT

3) Regular forum posts, all feedback needs to be left on the forums so it can be traced back.

4) Maturity. I dont mean you got to be over a certain age, I mean you got to be able to act like an adult! You will be representing the entire dev team and be expected to set an example of fair play etc while in public games.

A headset and mic would also be benefitial, we have a vent channel for testing to make communication a little easier. Not critical though.

XFire is another good thing to use, we have our own testing group there so we can paste up testing times etc. Again, if you use forums and IRC then XFire isnt essential.

Finally, not all that apply will neccessarily get a look in, if you dont then please do not be offended. It may be that we get more applications than we expected and is not a reflection on any member of our playing community.

So, if you want to apply, send me a pm with your name, location and timezone, First Strike soldier name (so we can check stats and see how much time you got in game ) and why you should get a place.

Oh, and just in case the PM system decides to play up, send me an email with the same stuff to derek(numbers-ninesevensix)at hotmail.com

**APPLICATIONS WILL CLOSE ON FRIDAY 15TH MAY**
