TL;DR
+ Show Spoiler +Did you sign up to TL Manpower? Then I want a presentation from you explaining your experiences with the subjects you signed up to! Use the template provided below, and dont forget the code! What i want from you (if you are signed to manpower), is a PM sent to Starparty with the following information: [b]Your name[/b]
[spoiler]
Presentation (30-50 words +/-)
[/Spoiler] Name the PM: "Presentation (Your name)"
Hi,
First of, a great thanks to everyone who has applied to the Manpower list over the last year. Since the thread was made almost exactly a year ago, i have recieved roughly 500 pm's with people wanting to be on the list. Including the code, the page is up to allmost 51 000 characters(!) equal to 32 pages in word as a reference.
Making this as a forum post perhaps isnt the ideal way of making a list like this. It could be done way more awesome with a proper client that handeled all the information. It could also make input to the list easier. But this list, as much as it is useful in different ways, is really more of a concept of what can be done with this kind of data, thus such projects is left for the future for those who are able.
However, this doesnt mean that the list can't be improved in its current state. One thing ive noticed in many of the PM's sent is that people are asking for references on the inputs made on the list. What makes LarJarse the ideal person to reply on sex & relationship issues just because his name is on the list? I didn't really have any good ideas on how to tackle this. Until today.
I thought, why just not make a second list, listing all the applicants in alphabetical order, with spoilers presenting them in a short manner with references. It doesnt have to be huge, just a 30-50 word presentation of their experiences on the subject(s) they have categorized themselves under.
This will be a project under evolution, just as the list itself. I dont expect everyone who signed to be reading this post emediatelly.
I will be recieving the presentations through PM, just as the original sign-ups. You dont have to send a presentation (i cant force you), but if you did sign up on the Manpower list with the intention to help others, a description explaining your capability on the subject might help those who eventually uses the list to pick you as the person to turn to. it is VERY IMPORTANT that the presentations are written in a strict format as to relieve me of too much micro management in each PM, specially if this takes off and all 500 signed sends me PM at the same time 
What i want from you (if you are signed to manpower), is a PM sent to Starparty with the following information:
[b]Your name[/b]
[spoiler]
Presentation (30-50 words +/-)
[/Spoiler]
Name the PM: "Presentation (Your name)"
Hopefully the code will be shown in the PM so i can copy/paste it quick. The presentations will be displayed on the Manpower OP below the list.
Allright, thats it from me. Lets see if this works Feedback on this is also apprechiated. Mabye it is redundant and overdone?
/K
Edit: thanks to qrs for the code

ps. i promise to make a decent banner for the presentations when i get some spare time

First step towards TL's domination of the world obviously.

If you would just have bothered reading the introduction on the list you have a text the size of a smaller novel that explains the purpose of the list.

I think this is awesome. Its great to help out fellow TLers.
I had someone PM me for help and was more than happy to assist  .
Thanks for all your hard work Starparty!

Imagine you need to ask something to a lawyer, a computer expert, an architect, a chemichals expert or a musician but you don't know one. Then, you try out the TL Manpower and find one and just ask him the question.
It's a list of experts willing to help sorted by areas of knowledge.

One question - what about those of us who are in like, 6 unrelated categories?
30-50 words might be a bit small to describe the backgrounds for them (I'm in two sports sections, ~25 in music & 4 writing).
Otherwise great work so far!

Okay, sent.
EDIT: I didn't put them in alphabetical order, sorry.

I would say just give a general idea. People just wan't to know that you aren't some poser I would imagine.

do 30-50 words about each category. Its all hidden in spoilers, so you can rewrite the bible in there if u want but keeping it short in general just makes sense if anyone is supposed to read it

Tl should make the TL corp of the EVE games a reality and sell teaching expertise, moving on to diverse money making schemes. perhaps involving making high quality soap from liposuction fat.
|
Sent you a PM, hopefully didn't do any mistake in it
So, when do we buy us an island and form our own country?
