"this is why I won't let you into the news team. you plagiarized an article. as an editor, I don't want to have to check every article of yours for whether it's plagiarized or not, and now that's a real concern for me. I am flattered that you want to join the news team so bad. I wish more people were as passionate about joining as you are. but you can't plagiarize someone else's article as a writer and expect to recover. this is on the same level as copying someone else's level and posting it on your own account, an offense we see many people never recover from. so, once again. thank you for wanting to join. but I won't be letting you into the team." -brandonbishop
I'm sorry but you are saying that he can't join because of all his grammatical errors and crap. Then, I looked at your response and saw their were too grammatical errors, like I said I am not choosing sides I am just clearly stating. If you wondered yes I know that this was just a response to what he was saying and not a full on article.

I'm just gonna say it, YOU CANNOT WRITE FOR SHI.T. You can't write well and they are only looking for people to fill specific roles that do not include title creator. Give it up or learn how to write.

Ever wanted to join the prestigious Free Rider HD News Team? Well Here's your chance. We're recruiting!

What does it take to be a part of the FRHD News Team? It depends on your role. There are two roles you can currently apply for. Comic Creator and Writer. I will be addressing these roles separately.

Applying to be a Comic Creator
What We're Looking For

Art Skills

A Sense of Humour

The Ability to Create Comics (duhh)

How You Can Apply
It's simple! Just dm me, BrandonBishop50, with a comic that you made.

What Does a Good Comic Look Like?
Here's an example from our current sole comic creator, BattleBro
View attachment 28558

What's Expected of a Comic Creator?
The current expectation is one comic per issue, but as the team expands that expectation may diminish into one comic every other issue. Doing more is greatly appreciated, and doing less may result in getting kicked from the team.

Applying to be a Writer
What We're Looking For

Writing Skills

The ability to convey thoughts and opinions into writing

Knowledge of the FRHD Community, and what happens within it

How You Can Apply
Not too difficult, all you have to do is write an opinion article on something FRHD related, and send it to me, BrandonBishop50.

What Does a Good Article Look Like?
Here's an example from our one and only Volund. It is a couple of years old, though, so some of the information is outdated.

Example Opinion Article (open) Example Opinion Article (close)

Track makers are being dissuaded from playing this game, and as more of them leave, less people are ready to take their place. And as this cycle continues, the standard of tracks drops lower and lower. As the standard drops lower and lower, so too does people’s interest in this game. What is it which makes creating a “feature-worthy” track pointless to track-creators? It comes down to three things: a lack of incentive, a lack of updates and a lack of competition.

There are basically four incentives a track maker would have to build a great track: likes, a feature, official author, and a spot in the campaign. They aren’t the best incentives available, particularly for people who spend weeks and months at a time on one track. And seeing as though Official Author and the Campaigns are somewhat irrelevant currently, that leaves two incentives to creators. I just do not think it is enough to encourage people to spend a good amount of time creating a new and exciting track. There should be more incentive for creators, though what they might be, I am unsure. I do think it is something that the developers should look at, and something which track makers should talk about.

Updates are important to keep a community interested, and this applies to track makers as much as anyone else. New tools, new vehicles, new features, all can give track makers the drive to create something new. Of course, the developers have recently been focused solely on the FRHD app, and so updates in-game have been put aside for the time being. However, it does not mean that we as a community cannot give them ideas to implement in-game. How about new vehicles? New items, such as teleporters and switches? New features, such as coloured lines or lines of different sizes? The possibilities are endless, and I know that I personally would be excited to use any of these features.

The final thing which dissuades track creators from doing their best is a lack of competition. FRHD needs another Official Contest, or short of that, a contest run by the community of the same idea and stature. I believe that a large scale contest will help reinvigorate track makers of all skill levels. There have been very few contests this year, and the few that have been big, have had weak competition. A competition which forces each track maker to do their all to win, would not only benefit individuals, but also the community as a whole. With any luck, another Official Contest will be held sometime in the next 12 months, and provide the competitive atmosphere that the community so desperately needs.

What's Expected of a Writer?
The current expectation is one article per issue. Doing more gives you a higher status on the team, whereas doing less may result in getting kicked off the FRHD News Team.

"Joining the FRHD News Team helped my writing skills get better. Now I am at the top of my English class!" - Rayb25

"I love the FRHD News Team. It gives me a platform to express my ideas and opinions to a large audience, as well as educating the community!" - BrandonBishop50
