ITOP will be a list of PD.com spags who are willing to help with projects.  If you need someone else to help you with something, don't just wait for somebody to do something, conscript someone from here.  (Remember, they VOLUNTEERED to be conscripted!)

I'll try to keep this OP up to date; if I fail, somebody Cain remake this thread and edit it more.

ITT post the missing nformation.

Q: How regularly do you hire 8th graders?
A: We have hired a number of FORMER 8th graders.

Payne

My only area of expertise, as it were, is LOADS of free time.

My only project is keeping up the pretense that I know what I'm doing.

e

I am "new here" and thus not on any of anybody's lists.

Nonetheless!

current projects:  For this site, none.  Elsewhere, probably too many to list.
areas of specialty: writing/editing, sophistry, pedantry, "Web Programming", Web Design, spelling (much under-rated), fuzzy logic and circular thinking

Current Projects - forumbot (and some other shit but that's classified)

e-prime disclaimer: let it seem fairly unclear I understand the apparent subjectivity of the above statements. maybe.

INFORMATION SO POWERFUL, YOU ACTUALLY NEED LESS.

Jasper

Expertise: I cook pretty well.  I have a fast internet connection, willing to DL/UL whatever.  I can do a lot of algebra, learning more.  I work at a game store, pulling a 30% discount.  I paint models pretty well.  I'm usually good for a laff.  I know a lot about people and society, given I don't have to put it into practice just yet.  I know some other science and technology stuff, too miscellaneous and undeveloped to really call a skill.

Cain

Current projects:

- Operation Pagan Red Dawn (propaganda, trolling, profile-raising)
- PD.com soundtrack (will continue once I am back at Uni, with limitless downloads)
- World Discordian project
- Infiltrating the Colboards
- PFLD blog (vanity project, profile-raising, networking)


Areas of speciality

Knowledge: philosophy, politics
Public Relations (I am a people person)
Anything involving skullduddgery, lying, underhand dealings or silent but effective action.
Promoting work.
Acquiring files, esp books, software and music, for little to no cost.
Logistics/organizing/overseeing other projects.

This used to be me!  Except my warhammer figs have crappy paint jobs because I have the artistry of a dead fig.

I grew up painting WH40K figs, and generally had the best painted army in the store at any given time.  I'm not proud, just obsessed.

Areas of Expertise: generating text, some layout, and the "big picture". I'm a big picture guy, but I'm also a details guy. I do wiki code. I have a nose for Quality. I am highly interested and somewhat well read in memetics. I love pranks and mindfucks. I am BAD at finishing projects, or continuing them after other people have lost interest. (citation: the Adam Weishaupt Society). OH and I just got a video camera, but so far I suck with it.

Current Projects: Lollercaust, maintaining the Black Iron Prison Wiki, and masterminding project OMGASM (and all the sub GASMs).

Nast

Current Projects: At the moment, I'm attempting to translate the PD into Spanish (I'm no native speaker, so it's pretty rough at best)

Expertise: Minor knowledge of linguistics, minor knowledge of societies and human culture, I can...garden (not really a marketable skill, though), and people tell me that my tea's fairly good.

So did I.  I just sucked at it.  :D

Remember, foreign languages are areas of expertise!  I know some people here speak Dutch...

I got some Warhammer minis a while back, some Dwarven Miners and Ironbreakers, I believe, and never found anyone to play with me.   :x

Then I got the Dawn of War game and utterly failed at getting any of my friends to play it with me.   :x
Q: How regularly do you hire 8th graders?

Oh, then I also speak Japanese.  (My writing skills are limited, though.  Stupid kanji...)

I never played much WHFB (I don't know if it's even called that any more), I usually played WH40k.  I haven't played in at least 2 or 3 years, though, and all my minis are gathering dust in South Carolina, whence I recently moved.  Now I just screw around on the internet instead.  My computer would explode if I tried to run Dawn of War.  The old WH computer games are great fun, but never really worked multiplayer and in most cases don't work period on current OSes.  Shadow of the Horned Rat, Dark Moon (or something?), the Epic game, and the one that was a "Squad Commander" thing with space marines.  Good times.

Jasper

GA, you sure it's a good idea to be playing pirated games over the net?
