Now Hiring
Ok, this time it's no joke (wasn't last time either actually). Dungeons Keeper is really looking for new staff members, and as we love this place so much, despite my laziness to update the site news, we are seeking qualified professions or amateurs that would like to join our staff.
The entire DK team is busily preparing for the release of HoMM4 and will be doing some major modification, reconstruction and expansion on the site. However, we are understaffed, and it would be a great help to us, if anyone would like to offer his or her services.
If you think that you can do something for us, anything at all please post here or contact us privately for more information. The base minimum is that you are a true HoMM addict and are ready to dedicate at least maybe an hour or two every week to contribute. If you know nothing at html, any other programming languages, graphics design or anything at all, that’s not great, but it’s ok. We are willing to train anyone who is interested, as far as we know how. This is not only a chance to be recognized for your work and effort, but through this experience, you may even learn something that can help you on to do something else later in your online gaming career.
Additionally, if we can find the staff, we are looking for a few dedicated individuals to run a Mac site extension off of DK. Right now this is not guaranteed, but the options for this are fairly generous. Please do contact us if you are an interested Mac user and HoMM player.
Remember, even if you don’t want to be a permanent staff member of Dungeons Keeper, we are always looking for good fan contributions, so you can always submit maps, stories, articles, pictures or whatnot. We will review it, and most likely we will approve and then post it on the site. This too is a nice way to get your name known across the online HoMM community if it isn’t already.
Thank you kindly for your utmost attention.

...the reason why most people probably haven't even heard of us is that we (rather, I) simply haven't had the time to update stuff lately, but I've finally managed to convince part of my staff to start working somewhat on projects agian.
Anyway, yes of course I know what I'm asking 
...and basically, to be a staff member, you would be one of us contributing regularly, at least every now and then, and do stuff in our name. There is a huge range of what can be defined as "staff", but there too is a line drawn between it and big time contributor.
What service can you provide, may I ask?

I know all about Fallout, and I'm pretty good with English too. Oh, and I can handle my Game Maker 4.1 too. Are any of these skills needed in your party? And what's the pay?

Alright! Hehe, ok well that's sounds good. So Slava, are there any competed or inthe work projects or stuff that you can show me as an example?
Wesley, I'm sure that you'd love to help, but hey I think you've already have something going for you. If you can write up good reviews, previews, and all that kind of stuff, that'd be great too. You just might need someone to proofread everything before we post it on the site. Also, there will indeed be an entire section dedicated to fans only, and although I have no idea how to get it done automatically, fans will be able to send in just about anything of their creation related to the game, and we will get it up for you. Picture galleries, stories, made up town thingies, strategies, coollittle tidbits, user FAQ, and whatever else you want. If you want it, and we know how to give it to you, you shall have it (as long as the files aren't humongously large)
Oh, and Lord Wook, you can help too...however, I'm not sure how much your unique talents may prove to be...I've never actually played Fallout so I don't know how that would help, but although I still don't know what it's about, if your GameMaker is in anyway remotely connected to HoMM (clearly connected) then we can promote it for you, and you can run it off our site...that is, if you don't need regular FTP access...otherwise, I am in the process of setting up a sister site to DK, for remote hosting of small smaller sites, or extensions of DK...however, that isn't for certain, because although one of my good friends is offering me somespace on his own site once he gets his server moved, some other cool things may begin to happen. That's why if you even want to run your own site, we might be able to work out a deal where we offer you free hosting, in return for some banners or something

Well, you can see some things:
Check my homepage (but don't press the links they all are blind ) I know it's not such a masterpiece, but you gotta learn from mistakes. I hope I will.
Now, about Flash. My free-hoster is out... again, so I can't Upload it 'till he'll be back.
And... CGI... What do you want to see (I can try to make the fans' thingies recieve script, but I can't promice a thing)

...oh hmm, have you changed your site since last time, or is this another site or something? Anyway, ok I think you meet requirements in html skill.
I would ask you to take the loyalty oath test, but since we haven't made it yet, I will have to take your word that you will remain loyal to us, and even if you do decide to leave, never betray our password and personal info to anyone, since I'm guessing you're going to be working directly on the site.
...or we may have to hunt you down and do something horrible 
...hmm, well I don't think I even want to use any Flash on the siet, unless someone can figure out a nice and neat way to implement some into the site, but we do have out Flash "Expert", Nebuka
...but hey, that's a good bonus
As for cgi, and all the other fancy stuff, for my intentions, unless someone is an expert at programming all their own PHP, Perl or Java scripts or whatnot, I should be able to handle that part...just takes forever...however, if you know how to implement and edit existing scripts in various languages, that's good too

I hope I'm now officially hired
I do know Perl, and can (try to) edit existing scripts in order to improve them... of cource testing at my web space.
About the loyalty... I'm not some B@stard to give away passwords or something. I do have some passwords I don't want anyone to know, and can understand your worry

...yeah, I guess you are hired. No, I fear that we cannot pay anything in terms of material wealth, but you do get recognition, good experience, work with cool people, and get praise now and then (usually it's criticism and insults though)
...hmm, well I wouldn't imagine you to be someone like that, but you never know...just gotta make sure.
...additionally, once of the base requirements for all members is that you have AIM or plan to et it. Otherwise, you would be required to send me email frequently (which can get very annoying) or drop off at our now kinda deserted forums, and drop me off some private message.
...So. When can you start working?

...hmm, well if you want to be part of AIM, unless you're in a different time zone, and rarely get online at the same times as I do, then yes I would require AIM...I really don't like ICQ much so only get onto it, when I am expecting a very important message.
Anyway, you don't have to do anything with it, just have it so that we can easily chat together and discuss things. So what kinds of things are you interested in doing?

lol, the choices are infinite but ok, I'll list a few that come to mind...anything else you can think of would probably be good too though
- General updates to different parts of the site. You can choose which ones, if you prefer one over another.
- Graphics design for site, and just fan art kind of things. If you change enough images from HoMM and edit them and stuff, we can build our own gallery
- A tournament director that will host our tournaments. On a first come first serve basis, whoever comes first will have more priveledges. Our league has already started, but will probably (hopefully) get more active for HoMm4
- Become a mod at one of the forums at SGOF (forums.strategy-gaming.com)However, I'm a bit more picky about this. Also, I can't actually do this yet either, because I'mtrying to negotiate my admin powers for it...I currently am only a mod
- Troubleshooting questions responding to people asking guy. Also, compile a more up to date FAQ, and other stuff like that
- Sound manipulation or whatever. Creaet sound tracks to replace into HoMM, or just change some of the existing sound tracks for general playing or something
- If you know any of the programming languages used online, we can always use that in one way or anotehr
- Write reviews, previews, editorials on anything pertaining to HoMM
- If you're interested in creating another site branching off od DK, like a Mac HoMM site or something, you can do that too...hopefully sometime in the future this feature will be availible at least.
- Write stories, compile a storyline of HoMM, about Enroth, Erathia and all that stuff. Write profiles on all the important people in HoMM's history. Stuff like that I've always wanted to do, but never bothered trying.
- a map editor, head of uploading, reviewing and judging guy.
- Mr. promoter guy to get DK news across to other sites
Hmm, I'm sure theres more stuff, so if you don't like any of those choices I'll give you some more later on. This is just taking too long
...oh yeah, and basically the only division completely filled is our porno store division. Our head consultant is already filling that position. He has everything worked out already.

So it's time for some new stuff

...um, I'm sorry but I think I just got confused. Just what is it that you're interested in doing?
...btw, in case I forgot to mention it before, as you seem to love to create new towns, creatures, and whatever...if you want, you can even become one of the heads at leading the game modification/invention fan parts or whatever...just figure out a neat way to present it all, and even if it takes up 50 pages of space, I'll put it up for you (that does depend on how large each page is though )
