Hello folks,
With the dev team spending an excessive amount of hours working on the content
expansion we are in the need of some new testers. In the past we have had many
applicants that have gotten the opportunity to test for us only to turn
inactive or disappear after a few months.
Therefore, we will now try out something completely new to us; a Playtesters
try out clan!
ZP community members can apply to join this clan by posting an application on
the forums. When they are accepted they must wear the clan tag in-game, stay
active on IRC and show up to scheduled clan games on the public version of ZPS.
When we need new testers we will pick people from this clan to join the real
squad, we will make the decisions based on activity and dedication but also on
personalities. It works like a try out period for playtesters.
By joining this clan you have no special priveledges or status. Members are
being evaluated for a potential position on the team as an Official ZPS
Playtester.
We give you; Live to Win clan! [L2W]
Requirements for membership-
- You must be registered and active on the ZP forums.
- You must be an active Zombie Panic: Source player.
- You must be friendly towards other community members and players.
- Post a proper application with all the information requested. (See
application forums for more information)
Clan Rules-
1. Must attend scheduled weekly Clan Games (Basically game with fellow clan
mates on scheduled days every week).
2. Must stay active on IRC and Forums (this shows you're dedicated and will be
around when things come up).
3. Have fun but act mature (If you are later accepted as playtester your
actions will reflect this mod and its team).
4. If for any reason you cannot make a scheduled game you must inform the Clan
Leader OkeiDo (Note: Missing multiple games for any reason will count against
you).
5. Wear the [L2W] tag infront of your name in-game.
6. Remember these are try outs for becoming an Official Playtester so your
actions matter. If you can't abide by these rules then feel free to drop out at
any time.

There would be a reason why your testers go inactive..
Don't want to sound too harsh about that though.
We have had loads of testers throughout the years, most have been very dedicated and stayed with us for a year or so. When the game was released a lot of the old time testers retired so then we let some new people apply. Some of those that got accepted didn't even get back to us after 1 test and a lot only tested a few times then disppeared. I'm not sure what people expect from testing, it's not always enjoyable but it's very necessery. Though, these new testers will get the oppertunity to test new features and material for the content expansion which might be a bit more enjoyable than reproducing a crash bug. Of course they will get to do all sorts of testing.
i wish i could help but i dont have that much time availabe.
4. If for any reason you cannot make a scheduled game you must inform the Clan

Basically, it's your fault, IF:
- you get killed.
- you have been in a car accident.
- your relative is dead and you must go to funeral.
It sure aint my fault if you die in a car accident, not saying it's your either. If someone disappears to come back after something like this we will understand but if someone doesn't show up because he's going out to a party we would like to know. It's up to you how active you are, the more dedication you show the bigger is your chance to become a playtester, we want really dedicated people to test for us.
It's not all that complicated. Either you have the time and interest or you don't. By applying and participating in the Try Outs you're saying you're willing to dedicate your time and attention and that if accepted as a playtester you'll bring that attitude to the team. Using this method we can determine who we think best suits our needs without holding the fact that they're new or not as well known against em. A chance for new/old fans to obtain PT status and help us improve the mod.
