Be a Southperry content tester, contest!

So, you want to be a Southperry content tester? Here's your chance to see behind the scenes things that very few will be privy to.


Rules will be as follows:

Anyone found not following these specific rules and directions will be automatically disqualified so please read carefully.

• Please write an essay titled, "I want to be a Southperry content tester."
  

• The essay should consist of two paragraphs.
  

• The first paragraph should state why you want to be a Southperry content tester.
  

• The second paragraph should state why you think you would make a good Southperry content tester.
  

• The entire essay should not exceed 300 words.
  

(If your first paragraph consists of 100 words and your second paragraph consists of 200 words, that's fine. Break it up however you want, as long as there are two very distinct paragraphs and the total combined do not exceed the specified length.)

• You MUST be an active Southperry user.
  

(Only Eos will be able to determine who is an active user and who isn't.)

• All essays must be submitted, and PM'ed directly to me, no later than Friday January 14th, 2011 by 9:00 pm PST.
  

(Late submissions will not be accepted for any reason)

• Any and all questions should be kept within this thread so others can read answers to questions that have already been answered.
  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the deadline for submissions has ended, I will submit a list of names of those who have entered the contest to Eos, and he will eliminate users who aren't considered to be "active" members of SP. The remaining entries will be placed into separate posts in the moderator forum for the MODS to discuss which ones should be chosen based on the essays. The MODS will not be privy to which user submitted which essay. This will hopefully provide the best way to choose users based on the essay and not based on popularity, or lack thereof.

Oh yes, one more thing.............

Just in case anyone was wondering, YES, I WILL count the words in each essay to make sure no one has gone over the specified word count requirement. I'm anal retentive and I like it when directions are followed.
