Position: ATK Manager


Why should I, the community noob apply for such a position of such prestige?
Well, I think I'd be suitable for the ATK Manager position because of my organisational skills. I always have a plan of what I want to do and I stick to this plan as much as I can.
I have the dedication that is needed for this position, and I'd like to think I'm quite diplomatically minded which would help when looking for new sponsor or finding new ventures for the community.
I'm always coming up with new ideas which is exactly what this position is looking for, I wouldn't throw one idea out on mumble one afternoon then leave the position to lie dormant for the next few months.

I think I consider all of the core members (and some of the not-so-core members) to be good friends of mine, and I take other people's ideas and opinions very seriously which is another key aspect of the ATK Manager role.

What are some of the first things I would look at if I were chosen to take this role?

I would look for some reliable, well-known sponsors to sponsor us at i43, and any other LANs we go to, for example I would ask Novint for sponsorship again, but I would also look at some other companies, particularly peripheral accessory companies as aside from being shiny, they are also things which can be shown off and easily given away in either tournaments or raffles (much like we did at the previous 2 iSeries we have attended).
I would also start a new initiative involving our currently existing TF2 and CSS servers, alongside the League of Legends team and the StarCraft 2 following we have here at ATK, involving advertisment on the existing servers, as well as possibly finding active affiliates from clans or communities who share the same interests as players in ATK.

Another idea is possibly using the Cinema to a greater effect, allowing community members to upload their own videos to the cinema, which may not only increase the level of traffic to the website, but also userbase and popularity of the website.

I will look at the current layout and system we have in place for the forums currently and see if there are any ways to streamline or improve them in order to create an easier user experience when visiting the ATK Community.

Thanks for considering me, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, you know where to find me
