The FRHD News Team is Recruiting!

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


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 It is a couple of years old, though, so some of the information is outdated.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.

RAPPERJACK Your chance to shine, my boy

 

i can't join he won't let me

 

this is perfect for you.

 

Brandon I know you won't let me in but I came up with this
Never Give Up!!!
Everyone knows about Elite Author and everyone wants it but you have to have featured tracks. I think that people who were on here for more than 3-4 years should have it. Why you ask? I think because some people don't really think they are good at drawling. I heard lots of people including myself want Elite Author say that they are not good. People need to stop looking at the comments of their tracks when people say "You Suck" or "Stop making tracks they are crappy". I was one of the people who got negative feedback about my tracks. I thought they were right but that didn't stop me from making tracks. I been playing this game for 3 years and I said that I will quit but I kept on coming back.
You don't need to be good at making tracks to play freerider. I thought this game was stupid, but when I started to play it I could not stop. I made so many tracks and I like them. I did collabs with the best FRHD Authors on the game. I thought if I did collabs with people I would get more support. Not everyone needs to be good. I know I am saying that alot but its true. Do what makes you happy don't stop because someone doesn't like your tracks. Never give up if your not good because you can do anything you want and make anything come true.

 

so inspiring :_)

 

I can't join he said that

 

RAPPERJACK I love the never give up section.

 

Imma be a writer. And I will write grammatically correct

 

Encouragement: Do not give up on your dreams! ". I heard lots of people including myself want Elite Author to say that they are not good. People need to stop looking at the comments of their tracks when people say "You Suck" or "Stop making tracks they are crappy". I was one of the people who got negative feedback about my tracks.

Just because people talk bad about you or your tracks, never give up on your dreams. I have personally gotten bad comments. "I had always wanted people to play my track and get a lot of subs and plays. People would say "you should leave FRHD" and "why do you make so many CRAPPY tracks?" I thought that I should leave, but I said no! I was going to prove the haters wrong." says BraceroPhenom21 People will ALWAYS brag. But the only thing that matters is what life is like off electronics.

 

why would you plagiarize? not cool man

 

mans quoted himself. what a legend

 

real talk

We all play this game cause it's positive and creative, and not everyone's the best but everyone still improves, and the feeling of improvement is nice. Like skating or riding a real bike and landing a new trick. But i think we all agree Free rider isn't a negative thing so there's no reason to be negative people

Just give the guy a proofreader and editor like a real newspaper i mean damn

 

incorrect

 

i guess I didn't make it

 

you should message BrandonBishop50
