Team Blaze (v3)
Welcome to Team Blaze!
What is Team Blaze?
Team Blaze is an enigma. Team Blaze is a lethal force. Team Blaze is what the Illuminati would be if the Illuminati used public internet forums and Skype chats as primary means of communication. Watch your back...
Kidding! Team Blaze is a collective of folks here at FFR. We're here to have fun, to be good to others, and... oh yeah, we put up with each other, too.
Do we play FFR? Probably! That's likely to be a popular topic and game of choice. Expect regular updates when each official tourney rolls around. What else is Team Blaze up to, you ask? We'll be talkin' about this and that via Skype IMs, and group calls should be a regular occurrence as well. We hold some fancy events to steal your attention away from League of Legends every now and then. Lastly, we compete with our rivals, Team Frost. We'll be battling against them to see which gang is better at stuff, and stuff.
Intrigued? You know you are. Come join us!
How do I join?
First read the team requirements below in the spoiler to see if you are eligible. If you are not familiar with forum spoilers, in this thread, you will see button-like objects called spoilers that you can click to expand/contract more information contained inside. If you are eligible, you can either post in this thread saying you want to join or you can contact either reuben_tate or dAnceguy117 directly.

Team Blaze Moderator Applications
Do you have what it takes to be a Team Blaze Moderator? Put your leadership and creative skills to work and show off your team spirit! Open the spoiler below to find out how!
Team Blaze Moderator Applications
We're looking to kick things into gear! In order to do so, we'll need a team of active and helpful staff members to cover all of the tasks we want to accomplish. Want to put Team Blaze in a spot where it can thrive? Here's your chance!
Term Lengths:
The duration of the new term will be all of 2014. Moderators may re-run as many times as they please; the performance in a moderator's previous positions will be taken into account for future positions (for better or worse).
We've got a full list of positions here. The idea is to divide and conquer! Remember, though, that being a staff member of Team Blaze means being a team player; that might mean helping out with other tasks that aren't assigned to you if another moderator needs help with their duties.
Primary Positions:
Chat Moderator: The chat moderator moderates (lol), kicks people, adds people, edits/deletes messages, etc. when needed. We're going to be a little bit strict with behavior in the chat, so our chat mod should be a good supervisor!
Thread Moderator: The thread moderator updates both the thread and the spreadsheet to make sure all information is super organized and neat.
Engine Moderator: The engine moderator manages the website/engine. This includes adding songs, creating website content, etc.
Event Moderator: The event moderator polls the team members for interest, schedules events, and manages the events as they take place. We think being on a team should be about doing stuff, and someone's gotta lead the charge!
Additional Positions:
New Member Welcomer: Promptly welcome new members that join the team.
PM Sender: Send team-wide PMs to team members when asked to do so.
Graphic Artist: The graphic artist makes graphics for team events and such. Other skills in graphic design are a plus!
Sandwich Maker: The sandwich maker makes made-to-order sandwiches. The sandwich maker must also cover transportation of said sandwiches to their rightful recipients. If you want to please reuben_tate (aka benguin), cheddar cheese will suffice (^)>
Other: If you think you can contribute in an area which isn't specified in one of the above positions, let us know!
How To Sign Up:
You must meet the following requirement:
-Be a Team Blaze member before this post was made
Then, you must send both of the team administrators (reuben_tate and dAnceguy117) a PM with the answers to the following questions.
Your PM must be sent before March 22nd at 11:59 pm server time.
1) If you got the sandwich maker position, which cheese would you use when you make reuben_tate's (aka benguin's) sandwiches?
2) What moderator position are you applying for? (Apply for all of which you are interested in, in order of most to least preferred)
3) What is your main motivation to becoming a moderator?
4) What qualities do you have that would make you an appropriate candidate for your position?
5) How do you think (a) the community views you? (b) the team views you?
6) How do you view (a) the community? (b) the team? (c) reuben_tate / dAnceguy117?
7) When are you available online in general?
8) Describe a personal experience of yours (preferably related to FFR community) that emphasizes at least one of the following: leadership, teamwork, perseverance, appropriate tolerance levels, patience, or humility.
Depending on the position that you choose, we may ask you more follow-up questions afterwards via PM. After the submissions are closed, we’ll review the submissions, ask any follow-up questions, and will have the results posted within a week.
If you want, you may post in this thread saying which position you applied for, just to have people possibly reconsider their choice of position if a million other people already chose it.
Thank you all for your time and consideration. You all are awesome!
And so is pepperjack cheese! benguin says it's the best!Swiss is the worst, however benguin is slightly masochistic so giving it to him would be the best thing.
New Team Blaze Chat
In light of Team Blaze's more focused mission, we have decided to create a new Team Blaze skype chat. The old chat is still available for viewing and participation but the old chat will no longer be associated with Team Blaze. If you would like to join us for some fun stuff in the Team Blaze skype chat, you can find more information below in the section labeled Skype Group.
Get Your Team Blaze Siggies!
Hey guys, benguin here. Want to show off your team spirit with a fresh, new siggie representative of this fresh, new thread? Then post in this thread that you want one and one will be made for you! The customizable details include: username, background character, and background color. If you want anything additional, just say so and I'll see what I can do. Click the spoiler below for a sample:

Team Blaze Engine:
As far as files for Team Blaze go, they are now once again being uploaded to the team blaze engine! If you want a file uploaded (as a part of TB) then contact Charu through a private message or Skype. If you want to load the Team Blaze engine songs into R^3, you can use the URL http://benguin.net/r3.xml.
Team Blaze Engine Song List
"Remember, I have genres separated per stepartist if they have more than 6-7 charts in the engine. Also remember, the difficulties are still not 100% accurate, so beware if you find a song easier or harder than what the number shows. If it is easier or harder, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING so I can change it post haste!" - Charu

We also have a leader board for scores gotten on the TB engine, courtesy of TC_Halogen. Check out these links if you have a score to submit, or if you would like to see the scores your fellow teammates have gotten so far! For more information on score submission, please refer to this post. The Team Blaze Engine leaderboard is no longer being updated but we plan to get this back going later (we need to acquire some spreadsheet permissions first). The spreadsheets are still available for viewing purposes however.

Skype Group:
WARNING: Only Team Blaze members are allowed in the Team Blaze chat (exceptions are handled on a case-by-case basis)
We do have a Skype group; if you wish to join it, please click the following link here. Your browser will then most likely then prompt you that you need to launch an application to open the link. Select Skype, hit ok, and you should then be added to the chat. New users in the chat will have the listener role until a chat moderator approves of the joiner and promotes them to user (i.e. upon joining, you can only view messages). If you have trouble connecting to the chat, please let an admin or chat moderator know and they will assist you.
