I thought about holding contest, but each contest would lend itself to those that are talented in that area and not necissarily a beta tester. So instead, we thought it better to post an open invitation to apply for a beta tester. In applying, show us why you would be a good addition. It can range anywhere from screenshots/videos that can be used to show off the mod when released, to showing talents that could be included in the mod, to something to demonstrate being a strong beta tester or multi-player balancer.

So here are some ideas of things you could show off:
- High-Quality Screenshots
- Videos of RJ-RotWK
- Maps you've done or are working on that you are willing the mod to use, or create a map using the RJ worldbuilder.
- Design Banners that can be used for the new elves or any existing units
- Example of voices that could be used for any of the new units
- Coding and FX wise of hero powers that you would like to see for those that are still lacking
- Try to solve some of the major bugs (Game.dat errors)

Also, those that have shown through posts in the forum we'll also contact to see if they would be interested as beta testers. A large part of the beta testing now is balance. I've made some very huuge modifications along the balance lines that seem to be in the right direction but there is a lot more to do.

So this is an open invitation for now, not a contest with only 1-2 winners. The beta has been released to existing team members, and we are looking for more. If you do not want to post work here, feel free to pm or e-mail them to me. I'll also send you a pm instead of posting here or adding comments here.

perhaps put something up in the news section or a post somewhere in the development section because this area has been a bit slow as of late... 1 or 2 posts in here a week, so people may not be checking it.

but i cannot wait either, should be lots of fun!

You can post more than once. For vids...I'd suggest making something trailer-like, which is what we'd need that skill for.

Greetings Robnkarla!
I would like to be beta tester.
I have 2 PCs. So me and my brother constantly play RJ with LAN!
We r good at bug spoting and play quite a lot (like 12 hours a day)
Also we like to Screenshot large battles! (like 2 imba-big armieas stood in front of each other and then charge!)

Oh and by the way i could make kewl videos with castle-maps (minas tirith, carn dum, helm's deep etc)
94% of teenagers today are a bunch of uninformed morons, if you are one of the 6% who actually reads the paper, or anything besides cheap magazines and a couple of schoolbooks, copy and paste this into your signature.

Maybe when the next public beta comes out, maybe never. It's really like an apply here topic, not a contest.

Havefun-Post some of the screenshots and videos then! We can't just hire you on what you say you can do :D

as i said when i first joined in this forum. I d like to be a beta tester.

well though i cant map, cant do wideos, and a lot of other stuff needed ( :D ). I posted pretty much ideas, some better other not soo good ( well but that you can see yourself, reading the topics ), done few bug list reports ( pretty long each ), reported some other smaller bugs later, added links to few artworks ( low quality photos . . . light blue colour sigh ), and right now im working on new unit speeches for MotE ( ask shikary about this . . ops i forgot to send them to him . . hell be angry :D )

soo basically im pretty active, with bunch of ideas, which is at least something i could do.
i asked about being a b. tester even before i joined forum, sended email, but propably newer arrived.

well it depends on you if you allow me this honour or not :rolleyes:
