Thanks to all who submitted applications. The results will be made known in a few days time.

Please do not post your application in this thread.

Please read through the entire post before replying or responding in any way.

Hey everyone. Here is the first process for member application into our inaugural SSB64 Backroom. The application process will be conducted via PM, so please do not post your application in this thread. It is highly recommended that PMs are sent to all 3 Backroom Leaders (SuPeRbOoM, cheeseball341, and Surri-Sama).

Do not forget to apply for membership to the 64 Back Room group in the User CP (under Group Memberships).

PM Links:
Backroom Application Deadline: Sunday, 21/11/2010

The initial round of applicants will be chosen by the three-person panel of SuPeRbOoM, cheeseball341 and Surri-Sama in joint conference.

The SSB64 Backroom is a work in process. This very first round of admissions is going to go a long way towards shaping it into a highly contributing part of the 64 community. Based on that, we are going to do our best to find a great group of 64 backroomers. So please take the application process seriously. Intellectual discussion and regular informed contribution is expected from backroomers, so please keep this in mind if you intend to apply that we want people that are going to properly represent the group and make real contributions. If you are not sure if this is you, or you have the time right now, do not apply.

Structuring Your Application

Smashboards Username (a formality)
Aliases on Kaillera servers (if applicable)
Location (Region if in US, country if not)
Character Main (You will be expected to contribute to discussion on this main. If you do you believe you specialise enough to contribute, indicate so - this will not be penalised in consideration)
Secondary Characters

What sort of history do you have playing the Super Smash Brothers series?

What level of player do you consider yourself? How do you compare to the community at large? Do you have any results (if you do have results, links would be appreciated) or personal recommendations to back up that claim?

Which aspect of SSB64 do you specialize in? Do you specialize yourself in knowing select characters? Do you have considerable knowledge about 64's physics engine? Maybe you are good at devising training mode combos. Please elaborate on what you think you specialize in.

How often do you attend console/online tournaments? Specify between console/online.

Are you a Tournament Host yourself? If so, how successful are your tournaments? Again, please specify whether the tournament was console or online.

Have you made topics, posts, or videos that benefit the community as a whole? Please indicate relevant contributions with links.

What do you plan to bring to the SSB64 Backroom that others may not be able to offer? Please elaborate, and, if possible, offer ideas.

What exactly would you like the SSB64 Backroom to look into or work on?

Is there anything else you would like us to take into account for your selection? Please show your initiative and willingness to be an active, contributing member to the backroom

Feel free to quote this application guideline and respond in the given gaps when PMing the application to us.

Please do not post your application in this thread.

It's a lot more specific than the brawl application and thus looks longer, but on the whole it actually asks for less. We're basically mapping out exactly what we want you to submit in your application.

I submitted applications before the whole "official process" deal went down, but I'll do so again.

You should probably change it to "work in progress." Makes everything sound more official and by-the-book.

edit: Oh, and the link to your PM is broken. Also "If you do you specialize" would be better written, probably, as "If you do not specialize." Pedantic man to the rescue again; I just think that something this formal would benefit from good grammar. I can stop being neurotic about these things if you wish.

I made a 64 BRoom icon for smashboards to consider using:



16 x 16 in PNG format

I like chain-ace's ones, if only for the inclusion of the N64 logo (I envisioned it like that)

Near's is pretty good too but the edges are a tad obvious and it doesn't shout purple like the others (that's not really a bad thing tbh)

I fixed it.

I was thinking of having the N64 icon beneath the letter just like Melee but I don't know.

Yeah. What happened was when I was making the icon, I had it in layers with transparency so when I went to save it, little that I realize I had it in a different mode. I copied the layers on another file and some error messages showed up so I just clicked OK on all of them including the one asking if it's OK to flatten the layers which made the background white rather than transparent.

Noticed you cleaned it up a bit, thanks.

This is really awesome to hear. I never really thought that the N64 BackRoom would make it through. Now I can Smash with knowledge again! I love N64 Smash. And I would like to code something similar to it in Java.

You sound really promising guys. Don't let us down!

There are a number of people who have applied to join in the User CP but have no submitted a formal application to me, at the very least. If you have only sent applications to certain members or have applied, but not sent a formal application, please do so and send it to all 3 members, or you will be excluded from consideration in the first round of membership.

Putting in an application won't cost you anything, and you never know until you try. We have approximately 10 spots to fill, and at least 6 are open to anybody and everybody.

I applied in the user cp awhile ago, when this thread had not been created yet.

I have been swamped with school work and I plan on creating and submitting a proposal sometime on fri or sat.

There isn't really a rubric (metric = rubric?) at the moment.

That was mainly who we felt had contributed well, posted well and was generally knowledgeable about the game - no actual decisions were made, all we did was air thoughts in conference about who we felt was a good candidate. That's why I said 'at least 6'. If decisions had been made people would be members already :3

The deadline has been known for a good half-week. I was helping run the backroom stuff during my final exam period, to show you the sort of dedication expected. We'll be accepting applications until a post goes out to close the applications period, probably a day after the deadline.

Hey I kinda forgot to mention something rather important on my app. =S

Anyway I could send it or edit it? Or I could simply talk about it on MSN.

The deadline is coming up. It's already the 22nd in Australia, but it's not as if enforcing this deadline is necessary.

If you intend to submit but haven't, hurry the hell up. Submissions close when I wake up tomorrow.
