CloverfieldGame - This guy wants to do a little copyright infringement, with a little IP abuse throw in for good measure. Add to that a stubborn attitude and a whiny disposition, and you have yourselves a very strong candidate.
The Uniprogrammer Project - While this guy has a slightly unique title for his project, he doesn't actually know what it is about. All he knows for sure is that he really wants to develop a team. I mean, we ALL want teams, right? Maybe once they are formed, they can sit around while he comes up with his game idea.
Holy Crap! - A programmer who is actually LOOKING for an MMO? I mean, this has got to be one I have never seen before. Points for originality.
Integrated Strategy/War Game - Mr. Egyhawk really wants to make a "massive real-time war strategy game". Of course, his role will consist of being the very important "Team Leader". Unfortunately for him, his 'y' and 'o' keys seem to have been defective on his keyboard, because he kept spelling 'you' as 'u'.
Sonic - The Black Emerald - Chalk another one up for the IP abuse category. On top of that, this guy has an impressive resume. Take a look at one of the entries:
Quote:2007: I started highschool (freshman) and took Webpage design. I didn't do much with game design and learned about ASM, C++, C. I took a dip into OS Development (16bit)
DSG Inc. (MMO) - Wow, another MMO. It's very surprising that we are seeing so many of these. This one looks promising: it's for a lead animator. If you make the cut (you MUST have "Pixar-like ability"), you get stock options and medical benefits!
Daystar MMO - Cool, a futuristic MMO. The team structure seems to be very well established; with the author of the ad being the team manager, how could anything go wrong?
N.O.T. (MMO) - Another MMO. Man this category is filling up fast. This one seems to be unique though: it is the "first true urban crime, open world MMOG in 3D". Of course, the game is going to be just as good as Runescape. Can you say "Profit!!"?
(MMO) BlueStreak Interactive - This isn't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill MMO here folks. This is an MMORPGFPS. Although I can't seem to find any details about the project, like maybe a name or something, I'm sure it will get pulled off quite splendidly.
Cool 2D MMORPG - Finally, an MMORPG project where the main goal ISN'T to make scads of cash. That's right, one of the major goals of this project is to "make new friends". I mean, it doesn't get much sweeter than that, does it?
Well, now that you have seen them all, call in with your favorites and we shall see who the winner is!
On a completely unrelated note, I find it sad that Help Wanted has degenerated into such a heaping pile of steaming bovine feces. The few decent projects slip between the cracks and get drowned out by the hoards of MMO junkies and other ridiculous projects. These accusations aren't quite fair in the sense that I have no idea how to fix the problem either, but still, I believe something needs to be done. Otherwise, Help Wanted will have to remain solely as a source of humor.
I've had to look elsewhere [sad]
