+'s
* writing
* proof-reading
* plot-creation
* puzzle creation
* I am close friends with a professional theatre/clothing designer, who also owns a pretty snazzy digital camera. Ergo, I can (with some notice) provide photos/images of in-game characters in almost any outfit/uniform/appearance.
* Apart from work, can donate decent amounts of time.

-'s
* poor, so can't contribute much $$
* Australian, so difficult to synchronise chats with US based PM's/players.
* n0 w3b sk1llz (oh, I hate *myself* for that!)

-Doze
-Mac
-C, Perl, HTML, Shell Scripting, Java
-Sysadmin, DBA, Netadmin, Security

I must be good at something, but what is it exactly?

[bagsbee]

Ooooh man I'd love to do BTS, can't commit the time to be a PM tho...

- Solid HTML, Javascript, CSS, Java, Perl, XML
- *NIX (Scripting, general knowledge)
- Working knowledge of many programming languages
- Basic Photoshop and image skills
- Good Math & Crypto skillz
- Puzzles
- Music: basic composition, play a mediocre guitar and keyboard (I'm mediocre, not the instruments!), good ear, general knowledge
- Odd/quirky/dark sense of humor
- Live in NYC, knowledge of/access to many famous landmarks and such
- Drinkering

edit - removed some pretentious bits, and added:
- ridiculously, ridiculously good-looking

[Varin]

- Windows
- some HTML and webdesign
- rusty C/C++ programming - it's been a few years
- artistic skills - drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, pretty much anything you want made I can do as long as it's not metalworking...
- writing
- movie filming and editing (with a few amateur actor friends)
- I have some puzzle ideas
- mish-mash of knowledge and books in various subjects like Anthropology, Archaeology, Magic, Astrology, Forensics, video games...
- good supply of strange props like mannequins, foreign knick-knacks, toys...

*EDIT* - I'm also a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible.

Thanks for the encouragement - much appreciated. My biggest concern was more to do with being able to contribute in chat etc - however one of the things from last nights chat that encouraged me is that it seems I'm not the only one who's IRC-challenged!

I actually really like the idea of a truly international ARG - a clue in London leading to a find in LA, a find in Stockholm leading to a character in Oz.... The possibilities are huge, but so are the challenges. My biggest worry would be financing it, but again from the chatlog it looks like these things can be done on a budget, without sacrificing the quality of the game, if enough blood sweat and tears are poured into the effort. Of course, at the moment the sum total of my plan consists of "wouldn't an international game be cool!". Guess I need to put a bit more thought into it

Out of curiosity - anyone any idea if many Europeans frequent these (and other ARG-related) boards? Curious to know what my potential audience is like, size wise.

[AnthraX101]

I would also like to try and help with one, after several attempts that died on the table.

- HTML, (some) Perl, Decent at web design
- Puzzle ideas out the wazoo.
- More pointless trivia then anyone should ever know.
- Security
- Lots of Windows experance, and some Linux.

Konamouse squeaks the truth. You might have a leg up on the European ARG market. Instead of pointing your resources so that they assuage the folks in the Colonies, you might end up being the toast of the Continent.

Another option - getting in league with our prominent Italian player.

*edited for new things as needed*

Currently I am a bit squeezed during the week for "chat time" Mondays to Thursdays I am limited to 7:30 pm to 9:45 pm Eastern US (yeah, some days it sucks to work), Fridays I am usually around from 7:30pm/8pm to Whenever (I start falling asleep at the desk around 3 to 4 AM), Saturdays 11 am to Midnight (Eastern), Sundays 11am to 9:45 pm.

I like to write and have been known to break those hours when writting... (ps I like using word processors with a spelling correction function so the finished product looks a lot better than my messages here... )

*edited for experience, changes to times available, and because I don't always spell correctly the first time.

Pretty good with Photoshop (another one...)
Basic sound and video manipulation
Basic HTML
Basic programming skills (with some slightly wierd advanced bits)
Proofreading (notorious at work for picking documentation to bits)
Some slightly odd ideas but not the writing skills to do anything with them
In the photo biz, so access to some pretty reasonable kit for video & photo work

On the downside - in the UK so wrong time zone for most people here, not a huge amount of spare time. But still wanna help!

My status as of December 2005 - unavailable at this time.. too much life, not enough hours in the day!

I'd love to get involved BTS. Some things I can do are:

- some HTML
- graphics manipulation with Photoshop
- research (Google Answers Researcher)
- writing, both prose and character interaction
- proofreading (exceedingly picky)
- maybe a few puzzle ideas
- clerical work (maintaining databases, information organization)
- basic knowledge of *nix and Windows
- extensive knowledge of Mac
- troubleshooting and finding solutions to all manner of problems, from technical to character related

Examples of my work and references are available upon request. That which I do not know I am happy to learn. You can contact me through PM on this board, on IRC, or by email at meSPLATaddlepated.net.
