After months of inactivity, I'm eager to start anew and attempt to get back to what this site excelled at. I'm eager to see Gantz RP be revived and to be honest, it's going to take a lot of work to accomplish this. But, in my opinion, I think its possible and well worth it.
So far we have Jpimpin, Kbell, Dane and myself working in a joint effort to accomplish this, and with you, the reader in mind, I'd like to ask if you'd like to lend a hand in our site's restoration.

Cool, would you mind changing your name to Craz, so there's no misinterpretations about who you're?

I got your message, so I've decided to return as well. It's good to be back. I'm not sure what I'll have to offer outside of RPing and activity of varying degrees (none for next week though, since I'mma 'bout to graduate up to college), but if you need anything more, just ask. I just might be able to do something, like advertising once we're all ready to get back on our feet and get moving again.

Well you got me on your Side man. Anything you ask of me I'll get it done ASAP! Seems we have a small yet determined team on our side. Seems kind of exiting.

I might be willing actually. I never really got to role-play here before and lately I've had the urge to write.

lmao, if it isn't father time, a.k.a Defectron, in the flesh. Along with Tjad, hell I thought I'd never see you two again. Demonicmuse aswell! I sorta wish he'd have posted something, but perhaps he'll come back to us when were up and running. I'm also surprised to see so many of the other dedicated users returning. You know, I had my doubts about this revival, but you guys are making it all worth shooting for. I recall a post saying... Seems we have a small yet determined team on our side. Seems kind of exiting. Hell yeah I'm determined and excited, and I hope you guys are aswell. I'd like to think we can establish the kind of site we had before and beyond! Allow me to take a moment to tally up the people who are offering to help and with what...Please correct me if I am wrong. From Gantz Players...Craz - Offering to Mod a Roleplay Will address this...Ace - Offering to help with Admin codes I could really use help with this, seeing as to how I'm a bit rusty when it comes to Admin codes.Calcus - Offering to Mod a Roleplay Will address this...Haloninjaman808 - Offering to Mod a Roleplay? I was hoping you could elaborate on whether or not you'd like to mod a project for sure.Returning users from our site...Srjjjb - Wants to help wherever necessarry... I love having members like this who are on standby! Much appreciated.James - Advertising... Were really going to need this in the long run, thanks bro!Xaier - Graphics & Site Design I like the style we've got going on, but I'd also like to improve a lot of our logos I've done in the past. I can't do all of that by myself so I'd appreciate it if you could help with that.Shad - Wants to be counted in... Welp, I've got a proposition for you, but I'd like to know if you're interested and whether or not you've got the time to take on such a task. I'll PM you the details...And I think that about sums it up so far...If I made a mistake, please let me know, and if you'd like to toss your name, please don't hesitate to post here. Here's what our positions are as of now, seeing as to how I have yet to post them and elaborate on what positions are available.Administrators: Kbell and myself... We plan to oversee the restoration of this site and were the one's to contact if you'd like to be a mod. We're weighing the option of selecting a third Administrator, but we're are quite picky, for a multitude of reasons. Role-play Mods: Dane, Jpimpin and Myself. We're all experienced role-play mods who know what were doing when it comes to running a roleplay. I also place myself on the list, because I have plans to continue my Project as soon as my PC is repaired in one week.
I'd also like to mention that the only thing significantly slowing down the pace of this site's restoration is the power supply failure my PC seems to be going through. Good news though, I plan on having it fixed in the next upcoming weeks, which shouldn't delay this any further.Here's what positions are available along with the requirements...We need 3 additional Mods to mod the role-play, I can't stress that enough and one or two back-up mods that can either fill in for mods or mod Event Roleplays once or twice a year. These mods would need to either be trained, or have note-worthy experience. We need people on site Layout, forum codes & graphics; I'd love to have one or two people working on these alongside me. With this we'll have no trouble improving the overrall look and appeal of the forum for all our users to enjoy. We'd need people who are familar with forum codes and have access/and are familar with photo-shop, illustrator and site skins. I'd also like to recruit some mods to mod misc. things on our forum like our discussion boards, alien ideas and weapon ideas. In the past, this hasn't really been our main focus to have mods for, but I'd like to improve on that aspect of our site. By doing this we can ensure that everything is running smoothly on our forum. The requirement for this would be people who are willing to immerse themselves in our mechanics and rules, and be able to enforce that when it comes to those boards. An already long post cut short, help is greatly appreciated!

Hey everybody! it's nice to see so many of you are still interested in the site. I'm really busy with school still, so I won't have the time to mod, but as always, I'm interested in improving the quality of RP we've got. I'm looking forward to the new projects; hopefully they'll be even better this time around!
What do you guys think about stacking project schedules like we did last time? I think it will help people be able to get into the roleplays without having to wait too long; I'd hate to see projects ending all at the same time, personally.

Okay, those interested in modding a project can now post their applications here! Calcus, I'd simply like you to update yours. When this is done, I can then evaluate the templates and then hand out the password and instructions for Mod Training.

Alright, I modified a few things, but could you be more specific with what's required?

Alright, I modified a few things, but could you be more specific with what's required? Rather than beat around the bush with trial and error, it's been decided recently by Kbell and myself that all roleplay mods, new and old, will participate in mod training. This ensures that new mods, even if experienced, don't feel as if their being ducked in cold water when first modding. We want to be able to critique, improve and understand their styles before we trust them with our roleplayers. And as for returning mods, I'd like to make sure their not rusty when returning. Hell, I'm even going as far as to put myself through the training as well...I think it'll be a good experience for all of us. So simply post your mod applications and I'll accept them and give you the password to the Mod Training when we are ready to start the training. Once that's out of the way, we'll explain everything inside that board.

Heyo! I didn't get the chance to do too much when this place was alive, but there's no way I'd pass up the chance to see this place get back on its feet.
Um....I'm actually not entirely sure what I could do though. I'm useless with graphics and I don't feel nearly confident enough to make a grab for modness. At best I could advertise or...uh...some other random shit you might need doing.
Glad this place is back!

Glad to have you back aswell, and we could always use more advertisers when were ready to start roleplaying again. I'm just waiting on people's mod applications so Kbell and myself can start the mod training.

Do I need to do an application, or do I just get sent the training since I'm basically confirmed?

Hey I'm here ready to do whatever you need. My main expertise is coding and anything with the admin cp. Gantz players admin here *salutes*
I also know everything there is to know about Gantz.

Do I need to do an application, or do I just get sent the training since I'm basically confirmed? Nah returning mods don't need to post applications since their already present, we're just waiting on applications from Halo, Craz and anyone else that'd like to mod a project. Hikawa, I'd like you and Xaier to toss your names into the group of people I'd like to help me with improving the site layout. This position unfortunately wouldn't grant you guys an admin spot, possibly a mod spot so you can access certain boards, but not admin. My reasons behind this are that I think it'd be unbeneficial in the long run because I know you both have your own priorities and the admin position that we have open is one that leaves little room for much else than the responsibilities that come with it. So, you guys would be working alongside me as a tight-nit group that'd be working on the site skin, forum codes and etc etc...Let me know how you both feel about this. Edit: Also, if you any of you guys see anything that you'd like to help with, don't hesitate to bring it to my attention. Often I try to recruit mods that are right for the job, but I'd like you to aid me in knowing what you think you can excel in, so I can immediately begin considering the possibilitity of giving you that position.

What would being a "miscellaneous mod" entail? I might be interested in that position, assuming it's not too much work and nobody relies on me too much.

Special Announcement!!!
I'm happy to announce that my computer's power supply is successfully hooked up and running with my PC without a hitch. On Sunday I'm going to test it on a monitor and know for sure. Then, a week from now, I should be heading back with a wireless adapter so I can get online without heading to the library or using Jpimpin's PC. This will make revamping this site a lot more convenient, and then I can devout even more attention to it's revival.
Luke, the miscellaneous mod positions that are available are:
Discussion Board Mods - Basically keep the discussion boards from getting out of control and keep them on topic.
Site Layout Mods: Help with improvement of site layout
Site Rule Mods - Enforce and keep the site rules updated with the additional ones we may dish out. Look for and report mods that are abusing mod rules, and notify admins.
Gantz Mechanics Mods - Basically keep the mechanics up to date.
Alien & Weapon Ideas Mods - Accept and Reject weapons and aliens posted by members.
Character Creation Mods - Accept and Reject roleplayers and help project mods fascilitate the transition of created gantzers to projects.
That's pretty much about it tho...

i could take on character creation and alien & weapon ideas, seeing as those two only hold judging the topics for usefulness and relocating them.

Post by ®onnie ®ude on Mar 27, 2010 12:32:54 GMT -5
Yeah, Kbell seems interested in weapon ideas as well so you can work alongside him with that.
Anyone interested in anything else?
