As you might know, we have here on CWF a "group" called The Game Hunter Squad, and by "group" I mean, that we only have one hunter, and thats me! I am the game hunter leader, but I do not have anybody to lead
So if you are interrested in being my slave , please read the following:
As gamehunter, you search the net for QUALITY FREEWARE games, download them, play them a bit, and if you think they should be able to download from this site, then you let me know in the first place!
As gamehunter you will help run the freeware forum!
As gamehunter you will get a fancy purple name color!
Interrested? Then write a comment..
I will need 1 or 2 hunters.. If you want to know more, please let me know.

I am interested. I think there is lots of quality freeware out there and I have heaps of time to look for it (between calls while I am at work). And a bit of spare time to play them a bit.

Sounds good mistergreen! I'll add you! I'll write a PM to you about it..
eMTe, I will talk with chroelle about it first.. You know he thinks that people should only have one job at the forum.. but I don't think it's a problem... I'll let you know when I know more..

Seriously now.
If joining the squad implicates any additional OFFICIAL duties - I say no. I'm doing what I'm doing, because a) I want to help the site, b) I have enough time to look for (and check) several games a week. Official duties involve responsibility for doing this and I'm not sure how much time will I have in nearby future... Therefore Id rather stay as an unofficial gamehunter, because it's more fun than full-time job. Ah, and I forgot: c) I'm, lazy.
Seriously again: I have already two jobs as moderator plus unofficial job as gamehunter. And that's enough. I like it as it is. I already abandoned bd, since I cant spend my time on three forums (I barely manage to divide it between og and cwf). So... I think Ive explained everything.
Of course if Chillum thinks that it's ok as it is and he can accept my terms (checking/submitting 3-5 games a week without any additional responsibilities and with possibility of leaving the squad anytime) I can join.
Looking at my terms once more... If I were you, Chillum, Id leave myself as an unofficial hunter...

No doubt that you are a great game-hunter eMTe And I also thought that you allready are doing what a game-hunter is supposed to
But shall I add you to the Game Hunter Usergroup? (I can do that myself ^_^)
As you might have seen, there has been opened a game-hunter subforum in the freeware forum.. Take a look

Well. The proudest duty the game hunters have is actually checking the games that are submitted (and as I wrote Chill, to get games when no members are active in doing this). So the one reason why eMTe shouldn't join the squad... Then it would be only the game hunters that submitted, which actually leaves a minor issue as tehy ahve to check their own submissions. That is actually why I think eMTe shouldn't join: We can't afford to loose him as a member submitting, and we can't have him checking the quality of his own games. I'm not saying that eMTe's games need checking, but we just want a creme de la creme freeware site, so all games have to live up to a certain standard, which is more or less the squads job to figure out what is...
eMTe: Keep submitting, and they will be added at some point. I just don't know if it is a waste of time to add them now, just ta make a way better system in a while and having to add them once more....

In addition to what Chrolle said...
I'm a big fan of point'n'click adventures and there's already an overrepresentation of such games in freeware forum. If I have to choose between slightly above average adventure and brilliant genre-revolutionizing space shooter I'll always choose adventure, because I hate space shooters... So I'm not the one to judge what is or is not good for this site and we don't want to make one-genre site I think... So it's a good solution - I'll stick to submitting.

That is the sense on the point of what I was thinking. I must say though that pretty much everthing you submitted so far has looked good, but I haven't played-tested many of them.
That is why we have a squad.
Keep up the indeed good work eMTe!

Aye, aye, I'll keep up the good work.
I hope I'll get for this work a free beer in one of cwf bars some day...
What I wouldn't mind is more people making submissions (sorry, Chill, work is work ). PEOPLE, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR GAMES IN FREEWARE FORUM!!! The more games the bigger choice, so don't hesitate!

IMO it would be great if you could join. I haven't been keeping up with my gamehunter responsibility because of all my time going to helping fm with coders group.

I not sure exactly about the details of the game squad's job, but if I may offer some suggestions for the games?:
*Perhaps consider having a continuous user rating system for the games so everyone can put forward their opinion.
*If possible have the potential game tested by users with different operating systems.
*Make all the archives the same ( single file one-step rar or zips) with a notes file containing links to this site's url (and also maybe the specific game thread in the forum).
*If you have to tweak anything or run it through a dos emulator, etc. to get the game running on your system then it could be added to the notes file previously mentioned.
....just an opinion

The adding of notes, will be done. Like the game hs a link to the forum thread where it is discussed it also will have a link to the tech help thread where it is being dealt with (if any).
I was also actually thinking about the user rating system, if we could do it so that it is only the last 20 votes or so, that gets counted. This way we can see when a game is no longer as groundbreaking as it used to be, and no longer belongs on the site....

So no objections to Ogre being part of game hunter squad? Ogre, can you PM chillum and let him know you are interested? Also, do you know php or have experience with databases? Fademind would be very interested to hear if you do.

In fact, Ogre already contacted me He knows HTML & stuff, and I think we can perhaps use his skills later too
And I personally think Ogre would be a great additon to Game Hunters Squad

ME too, and especially since we had to steal away to the coding departement.
I think that some members are holding back on submitting games, because they don't wan't to submit a lot when the gamehunter squad isn't any bigger, but hey, go ahead. But do the site a favor and join up. This is a very important group and it needs members.
Well - the design and the coding groups are equally important, but you know what I mean.
So here goes a resume:
PM Fadedmind for coding group
PM Dizi for Design team
PM Chillum for Game hunter squad
PM me for other jobs. We still have a forum (or two) without a mod.
I think there are some members that are holding back since they are afraid that they can't do a decent job. If you apply then you will know, otherwise you won't.
The GH's are propably the most relaxed group (ATM) as they don't have a deadline as such (not that the others do) but their work is continues. You decide how much time you will put into it, but you do have to put some time in. So apply people.
