Hello fellow Rioters!

Some of me might know me and, more importantly, what I do: I sift through the game database and look for entries without box art and without meta data (such as platform, release date, publisher info), and then I add them. I also add games to the database that aren't there, merge duplicate entries, and delete wrong ones.

But ordinary life gets incresingly demanding for me, so I need a helping hand!

And this is your chance to get on the team. Basically you will be doing all the stuff that I'm doing, with the focus on adding new releases to the database and handling meta data.

Requirements:
:arrowbluer: 18+ years of age
:arrowbluer: computer savvy
:arrowbluer: Also note that this is volunteer work

To apply, note me, or reply in this thread.

        Hit me up on my birthday and I'd be more than willing to help NapalmRiot. This community has the potential to be huge, to own xfire (if you want to think of it as a competitor), but Napalm needs an army a little slaves who work there butt off for the community.

      Ah you know, the term is a bit fuzzy. But it means that you mustn't be a complete noob when it comes to using computers. Like how to handle URLs, pay attention to correct spelling and punctuation, use web interfaces that aren't the most userfriendly ones; and know the difference between the red pill and the blue pill. ;]
      That sort of stuff.

    Plus I have the software to work with.

    I would totally be willing to help if I could, but theres a minor problem. You see, at my job, one of my responsibilities during the week is to scan in Box Arts for games to our company database so that we can reprint them for games in which the cover art gets ruined or lost. Now, if I had personal access to this database and a way to save it all to my flashdrive without risk of being fired, or any way to get those box arts home so that i could scan them myself for my own personal use, Id be able to send you a massive collection of box arts, including some fairly rare ones, but alas, no dice, not as of right now.
