Hiring spriters, tilers, coders, and testers!

So... as you might or might not know, I just got the private beta of stencyl. (do not tell me how much you hate stencyl. that is off-topic and will most likely get reported. go to the misc. forums and make a thread saying "scratch vs. stencyl" or something.) Apparently, I want to make awesome flash games. Also apparently, I can't do it by myself because the topic title proves it. So, I NEED HELP!...

Spriters:
Makes sprites (most of the time it's many frames) sprites-players, enemies, items, and more
Requirements:
Must be online semi-often.
Must be committed.
Does not need stencyl, but needs a digital art editor. (scratch or ms paint is fine)
Rewards:

Varying amount of love its for games that we finish (every time we finish one)

Tilers:
Makes tilesets and/or tiles
Requirements:
Must be online semi-often
Must be committed.
Does not need stencyl, but a digital art editor. (scratch or mspaint is fine)

Varying amount of love its for games that we finish (every time we finish one)

Coders:
Helps programs the game

Beta Testers

okay, wait, let me make that more clear. you have to show examples for everything, and IF YOU WANT TO BE CODER, YOU MUST HAVE STENCYL OR YOU CAN NOT CODE.

Re: Hiring spriters, tilers, coders, and testers!

Huh? To qualify, make your own sprites. Don't just look for pictures on the internet. I'll repeat it again.
Spriters: You need one banner/logo, and one character (like one for a game)
Tilers: You need one tileset.
Coders: You need to show me something that you made anywhere, and something you made on stencyl.
Testers: You need to write a few sentences on why you are good for the job.

i DID make my own SPRITES i normally either handmake them of morph other sprites. im pretty talented, in my opinion. ill give u a link to some of my best hand-made sprites. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Umbreon101/1372482 the first stareon, death charge, fang, blade, rainbow serpent, and scaloen are all hand'made. (blade is over a year old and i made when i was just learning how to make scratched sprites)

i dont have any other way to get the art to u. plus, i DID fill out the form. my mom wont let me get an account on anything other than webkinz, wizard101, iscribble, and scratch unless she spends, like, 2 days looking it over.  sad  this stinks. i cant share my pics anywhere besides scratch, and i cant get an account anywhere else. so ur not even gonna take the time to even LOOK at the project? dang it! i spent hours on all those sprites! not to mention all my art is done with a MOUSE! i have no tablet pen. do u know how long i sit drawing a pic on GIMP? about an hour and a half! cuz i dont have a tablet pen or anything real fancy for the computer! my webcam doesnt even take nice pics! no do u understand why im linking progects instead of giving u the pic? cuz im getting a bit mad cuz people keep thinking i have a tablet pen or not even taking the time to look at something, no offense. im just not in a good mood cuz its 7:30 in the AM. sorry if im really bothering u. im not trying to make u mad or anything, but could u at least LOOK at the project and see what u think? please?

ok. u should have said that in the first place, though. i just sometimes snap when i have to repeat my point over and over. but what kind of sprites do u need? i know a site w/ some really good ones that u just need to animate. acctually, i know of a few sites. ill link them if u need them.
http://sdb.drshnaps.com/index.php thats one http://www.spriters-resource.com/ theres another, and if u need pokemon animated: http://arkeis.com/ unanimated: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/picdex.php

Re: Hiring spriters, tilers, coders, and testers!

@maurits-Btw, a flash game collab has to be organized. This is not going to be like any ordinay scratch projects that everyone makes. Not going to be a "good quality for scratch that everyone makes (or worse for those who can't do it right. I'm going to make it good FOR ANY COMPUTER. And "too" is spelled t-o-o. Try to spell little words right. I'm not going to be mad if you can't spell pneumonoltramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis wrong, but too is only three letters long.

Hey, do you have an email?

@maurits-stencyl... google it. you need it to be coder.
@mooster-keep trying, good start though. maybe less plain, more colors? you should try for spriters.

I'll try. I'm not too good at other things. I can do 8-bit RPG items such as swords and armor.
