mattman2000 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I worked as a newspaper reporter for 6 years before moving back to the US (served as Zama Bureau Chief for Pacific Stars and Stripes). I spent a chunk of my free time teaching English to some of the people working on base. I won two Associated Press awards for Feature and Business Writing during my career. I also won a Corporate Award for deadline writing. During my first year back in Columbus I helped draft the marketing material (printed and electronic) for a HR consulting firm. Now I'm a Sr. Tech Writer with Rolls Royce. That's right. I got tired of working for the press and became a corporate whore. It sure pays better, and my conscience isn't troubling me nearly as much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I think that Id be prefect for teh job. BTW, I didn't even know that Oklahoma had laws, much less law schools (or even schools). Seriously, I'm interested in helping out. Brief CV -- Editor on an Ivy League law review and seven years practicing attorney (corporate transactions and litigation, involving extensive drafting and editing). And hey -- I've edited this post 4 times. That has to count for something.

BTW, I didn't even know that Oklahoma had laws, much less law schools (or even schools).Sure we do. The only problem is getting from town to town, what with all the unpaved roads and Indian ambushes along the way. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeeDog Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 It sounds like you have plenty of help already, Rune, but if you need more I am happy to volunteer my skills in return for a copy of the game. Among other things, I work as a legal proofreader and word processor for several large Manhattan Law firms. I was also an English major in college. Proofing a few documents the length of a CM briefing within 24 hours would not be a problem for me. My email is in my profile if you need to reach me. Cheers, YD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanachai Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Originally posted by rune: Seanachai, Go back to the Cheery Waffle thread where you belong. This is serious work. Think I'll name a Panzer IIF commander after you. So many people will have satisfaction taking out that tank. hehehehehe Better yet, an Italian M13/40. Rune Dearie me, I'll just retire to the Peng Challenge Thread in tears, shall I? I am the three time winner of the 'Annoy Rune with Pointless Posts While Mocking His Disturbing Physical Resemblance to Charles Laughton' Award, and have been several times cited by Steve Grammont of BFC for my ability to actually understand something that was posted (unlike many Forum members...). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Seanachai that's enough! rune is trying to conduct official BFC business here and doesn't need YOU to toss in irrelevant comments that sidetrack the thread. He needs ME to do that ... HEY rune ... here's MY qualifications ... I know that it should be spelled RUIN! Joe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 Whispers to the Bald One: "If the Pengers and TNT threads don't let me finish this, how about a 48 hour lock on their threads?" Muah ha ha ha haaaaaaa Anyway, I never expected this much interest, I will post when I get home on how I choose. Thanks to all those willing to help out. However, expect Seanachai in a useless Italian tank in a scenario called Beda Fomm. It seems so...appropriate. Last, once the game is near completion, and with the tradition I started with CMBO, I will have an open house with the latest build of CMAK. With my work schedule and time constraints, and refereeing soccer, it may have to be short notice, but since I got so much grief last time for no valid reason, warning all now. If you come, as before you are sworn to secrecy...and after mine, if there is time, other testers may have an open house. We will worry about that when the time nears.

JonS Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Rune, I'd be happy to help too. I've done quite a bit of scenario briefing editting while playtesting for other designers (mostly Andreas'). Plus I probably have a better grip on the Queens English than some of these 'merekins Regards JonS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankycee Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I'd get my name in the book! I'm your guy! I've been an english teacher for three years now, and have plenty of time to do it. Fast turnaround guaranteed. I'm also in the Canadian Army reserve, and my unit fought all over Sicily and Italy in WWII. Cassino II, Termoli, Trasimene line etc... I've read alot of stuff about those battles and even translated some texts for the Regimental Museum.

frankycee Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 My unit was named 12th (Reserve) Army Tank Regiment (The Three Rivers Regiment) during its operations in 1942 and later. We've now changed unit name to 12e Régiment Blindé du Canada (french for 12th Canadian Armored Regiment) http://www.regiments.org/milhist/na-canada/volmil-que/inf/086-3riv.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 First Post to Seanachai.. OK, I will grant you that...but since you tried to hijack my working thread, I must still punish you somehow...I got it... Look for Seanachai in the Australian Infantry. It just seems after all he has done to the aussies, give the aussies a chance to blame him. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow the thought of the Bard wandering through the desert dedicated to his Boys is vaguely amusing to me. I'm not quite sure why.

rune Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 First off, thank you to everyone who volunteered to help. I never expected so many people to volunteer to work hard...I expected one or maybe 2 to be interested. Just shows you how good this community really is. Second, my decision: I went with the first two editors I came across that were definitely committed to this. Axe1212 and Mr Spkr, send me an email at rune@ameritech.net and let me knwo if you are still interested. I do have some other names I would consider if you two don't want to do this if you had a change of heart. Last; this doesn't reflect badly on anyone, I changed my mind to add one more, and with Axe I get a two for 1 deal anyway. Thank you all for the offers, and if I come up with something new in the future, I will let you know. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Boggs Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Rune Let em start with your post!! Seriously, what a tough job to decide from so many worthy applicants. This community has got to be one of (if not the) most talented, intelligent, and diverse groups you can find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
