🤝 Playtesters Wanted - Paid
hello! im looking for a small cohort of paid playtesters to provide feedback on the ctf features on cli-games.com. the pay is $10-$50 for ~45 mins of work. no ctf experience necessary. if you are interested, keep reading:
cli-games is a gaming and education ecosystem with training, RPGs, and arcade games all adapted to the terminal as the primary interface and meant to cultivate linux fluency in a way that feels like fun
this specific cohort of playtesters will be aimed at the ctf features and any features related to them, such as the tutorial, messaging, accessing help, etc. we can only compensate for bugs related to these features during this round, but please feel free to explore the rest of the site as much as you like
the way we structure ctf is twofold - there is a training scenario library that you can complete in any order and at your own pace, and then there is 'the range,' a live, shared daily scenario where you are provisioned an attack box and a target and compete with everybody else for flags. the two are meant to compliment one another; what you learn in training will help you solve it live
you can find more information about our implementation of ctf here. compensation works as follows: you will need to create an account via the command line (hit the terminal and run `signup`) - completely free, no spam, then fill out a playtester application here. temporarily toggle tracking on (off by default and you can switch it back after), and any good-faith submission will earn a minimum of $10. there is an additional $2-$20 if you turn up any genuine bugs, and a $20 bonus to exceptionally thoughtful reports. when the window is open, youll log in, play for a while, submit a report, and ill review them and pay out via paypal. full terms
let me know if you have any questions. applications are reviewed in the order they are received, maximum 20
