Oh no ! That's not the good thread to remind me of it, Mithadan. You have lost all chances I will make it !!!
Honestly, not now but I may/might do it in the future. Iceland to Indus, isn't it ? And you know for that I am not paid (which also-means nearly the opposite to full-time)whereas....
Edit : come to think of it, the fact you still want me to make the map is actually a compliment to my skills

It would be great if you had the job.
I hope the fact that you are French won't be a problem. Your posts always seem clear, so I don't think there would be any communication problems.
You might as well try and apply. It would be really cool if someone from CFC got the job.

Civ3 Scenario Creator
Well, why not? Im bored and need something to do that will feel meaningful.
My references?
Sorry, im only 16 (almost 17) so Im afraid I dont have any degrees in anything
but anyone can just look in the completed scenarios forum and see what I am capable of. My skill is less about simple additions, adding cities in right places, and adding a few units. It is much more than those simple things that the unknowledgable call "scenario creation", it is the process of creating something that works effectively, can be easily explained, and combines and ballances the conflicting elements of Playability and Historical Accuracy.
If I was put into an enviroment where I was heavily encouraged to make such scenarios, both the skill and speed of them coming out would be phenomenal. I have been asked to do countless scenarios by vast numbers of people. I still remember their wishes, and I promised myself I would make all of them if given the opprotunity of time and encouragement to create.
As many of you know, Im not th most likable person in the world and I do have a tendency to share characteristics with a gunpowder store room that a match has just been thrown into. However, Many of you also know I work vastly better when in a bad mood
I however do work very well in teams. My partnership with Rocoteh, which has lasted longer than any other scenario creation partnership at CFC for civ3 clearly shows that.
I have a decent (secret) amount of experience creating my own maps. I will not say it is anything compared with my abilities to turn the map into scenario, but it is effective. I may have to release some of these maps... I also have a vast hidden archive of tutorials on scenario creation that I was intending to release at a later date, possibly when I "retired" (if I do) so that a next generation of creators could come.
Thats all I have to say... for now.

This is interesting news, certainly. 
Doubtful that anyone remembers my old scenarios, but I've made a thing or two in my day.

not a candidate for this job.
However I have a opinion:
Sarevok!
His credits with regard to scenario-creation are outstanding.
Workcapacity is incredible.
I do not not intend to make a long speech.
There is just only one advise to Firaxis:
Choose Sarevok!

I have not read almost any of this thread, but I wanted to show some support for Rhye since I heard he's applied. As someone who has been following his work on his mod for several months I must say he has done some amazing things within the boundaries of the game engine (which I had thought was very limited). His work is so good that I have long been unable to go back to playing regular C3C (with the exception of one SG series). Many, many changes that he made I could not possibly have thought of myself, and they all worked far better than I expected. The new naval movement model in the X-pack for his mod is a good recent example. The rest of us were talking about using LM terrain to create sealanes in the later part of the game, and then he just revamped the way naval movement works and fixed a HUGE inaccuracy in the original game (and it works fine from what I've seen so far).
Rhye has shown he is a very willing and capable creator and customizer and I sincerely hope he gets to take part in the creation of future Firaxis games so we can enjoy his great work when the games are released and not months later when he mods them.

hmm... I wonder.
Caveat: I'm going off-topic here...
Am I complimenting your map making skills or am I being desperate due to my lack of map making skills? Probably both!
Cheers...
Ha ha, I thought you would get a kick out of that! No worries, it was just a jab in your ribs. Iceland to Indus is correct (there are some really big maps out there that fit this description, but the creators didn't take kindly to my requests for shrinking it).LouLong said:Oh no !

I have to seconed Blasphemous, Rhye is an amazing scenario creator, he would be great in Firaxis. The X-pak is brilliant

I would LOVE to have this job, but I'm just 17, still in school, and don't have any published scenarios (although Battle for New York should be pretty cool IMHO). I'm not to far from Baltimore and would glady leave the house for this job 
But unfortunately, I don't feel quite qualified or otherwise available. Maybe for Civ V

LouLong, you should apply. The France-USA thing is a figment of people's imagination (at least in the USA (I don't know about the French side) - most people outside of the government don't actually feel that way and I have my doubts about the gov't - that's mostly political posturing).

Sarevok, your age will keep you from getting the job. I can guarantee that. Keep plugging away at it for a few more years and you'll be a prime candidate.

Yeah it stinks... I remember when I was too young to get in the PTW beta a couple years ago. You can always count on another Civ coming out though.

You did for PTW, but I don't remember it being a requirement for Conquests.
