Dummies, your duty awaits you - MATCHMAKER wanted!

Postby Golem on Mon Nov 16, 2009 1:19 am

Girls and Ladies, now is the time for you to step forward, to take the initative, to ditch that last smidgeon of wimpish girly blouse attitude of I'm-not-worthy!

Due to his circumstances, Roundup's term as our matchmaker is now at an end! I think you will all agree with KF and I that he's done a brilliant job, seriously. He's kept our schedules packed, but he's also maintained contact with the right people in our opponent clans in leagues, he's maintained his knowledge of where to go in IRC for an impromptu match, he's dealt as well as any dummy can with those somewhat more tricky issues of no-shows, reschedules, and so forth.

This role is an invaluable one, one KF and I certainly appreciate, and now another dummy must fill his shoes!

This person must:
  1. Be online fairly often in Steam, at least a few times a week so he can be contacted by other clans
  2. Arrange matches as required by leagues and ladders
  3. Have the initiative to setup matches whenever there are holes on our schedule, without feeling the need to ASK (just do it, if we give you the role, we trust you)
  4. Keep up to date with our schedules and fixtures on any active leagues
  5. Be capable of setting up matches on these league/ladder sites
  6. Also mirror any fixtures in our own clan website's schedule, a crucial step
  7. Idle in IRC as often as possible - in our clan channel #ftd and in any league channels (e.g. #wptf2l)

So, before we finger someone directly and tell em to do the job (or else), here's your opportunity to step forward and show us you want to do your part and use a little more of your time and personality to keep us afloat! If you want to apply, post here!

Whoever gets this role will enjoy some limited administrative control of the TF2 faction of the FTD website.

I meet g., a. if I set up steam to launch at startup, and probably d. as well.

But ... me with initiative? You'd be better asking if I have a million pounds to spare.

As I'm still somewhat around, just not to the level I was before, I am more than happy to help my sucessor with a few tasks, or even just some advice to get going.

I found this role wasn't to hard to pull off, just a bit of time, and never expect a clan to come to you... this season, as sloppy as I was, only 1 clan looked me up, but looking them up is easy, and once they chat a match is usually easy to sort. the main skill was probably diplomacy, as in getting what we want :) and a sence of humor, when the occasional clan act like dicks :D

Thank you Golem for these kind words ;)

After much deliberation, coaxing, hypnotising, bribing, corrupting, and cloning, we have a new maker of war and matches - SNEAKYRUSSKI. Roundup, it would be ever so nice of you if you were to assist him getting up to speed on the secret ways of the Warmongers Order. I've forwarded on a bunch of links and info, but I'm sure he wouldn't say no to more chats from the old master himself!
