Let's try this:

Name: Mr. 'Murica
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Description: Extremely buff with too many scars to count
Bio: Some war boaster that really hates small people and punches every middle eastern and midget in sight.
Specialty: Charging enemy lines
Suggested Class: Brick wall

Name: Brick wall
Fluff: The military realized that regular soldiers died too easily so they developed steroid pumped super soldiers. Although Mr. 'Murica was just born that buff, so all the better.
Role: Tank, Pressing attack
Default Gear:
-Primary Armament: Repeating Grenade rifle: Grenades explode on impact, small clip.
-Sidearm: Oversized SMG: Very inaccurate, but shoots huge high damage shots.
-Gear: Remote device: Calls in an airstrike
-Melee Weapon: Dual Tomahawks

Hopefully this is a good balance between not so boring that the character is uninteresting and not completely insane.

Name: Joseph Dodds
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Description: Joseph, or Joe as he insists everyone calls him, is a self proclaimed 'Master Gamer.' He has played every game, every spin-off, heck, every interactive adventure there is. As a result he knows all the tricks, all the tips, and all the tactics.
Bio: Joseph always liked video games. Ever since he was a kid, he would save up his pocket money to get that new game, or that new console that was just released. All attempts to get him off gaming failed, and he'd spend all his free time locked away in his room, just trying to complete this last campaign. Not after long, he started contemplating working professionally as a gamer, so when Spigot announced that they needed beta-testers, he signed up straight away.
Specialty: Tactics, strategy.
Suggested Class:
Name: Sir Percival Widget
Fluff: A knight renowned for his strength and military prowess, Percy was sent to war for the glory of his Majesty. And for the money and fame that would be gained from his service.
Role: A slow but heavy hitter, suited for melee. His ranged weapons are not that powerful, but if you get within melee range of him, you're definitely gonna have some bruises in the morning.
Default Gear:
-Primary Armament: Longbow. Isn't very powerful, but has decent range.
-Sidearm: Mini-crossbow. This crossbow is more for closer ranges. Is slightly more powerful than the longbow, but has much less range.
-Gear: A trumpet, mainly used for inspiring other players in battle. He is completely defenceless while he uses it though.
-Melee Weapon: The Sword of Fargot, an incredibly powerful sword that packs a massive punch.

They decide that they didn't get paid enough for this..

You didn't mention having edited your post until now.
The application is fine.

Well, TF2 is implied to be that hat simulator, but CSIII is not so much a parody as a similar game. Oh, and don't mention Valve in the Spigot offices--in this universe, Valve stole Spigot's thunder more than once.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Anyways, we'll probably be starting soon. Just let me crunch some numbers and whatnot. Make any last-minute submissions for the first test soon.

Yup.
The Miner has (land)mines and a pick, but limited tunneling abilities due to engine limitations and balance reasons. But not this update.

Anyways, I'm mostly working on the weapons and a few fun bugs...

Due in part to cross-checking numbers with...nothing in particular...and some real-life stuff, I have finally finished the equipment stuff. Bugs will be added shortly.

-----

You arrive at the office for the first major beta test of Cooperative Stronghold III. Previous ones have basically been a single player or two mucking about in the engine, but now...now you are finally playing the game.
It's not a terribly complete game yet. Pretty much only the default weapons for each class have been added, and only one mode is ready. Speaking of classes, only four are present so far--the Fleshwelder, the Gardener, the Knight, and the Super Soldier. There is only one game mode, Defense, where the Red Team tries to take some points within the Green Team's base.

Now then. There are eight playtesters--Archangel, "73 Plus," Marcus, Ned, James, John, Devon, and Joseph. That means four to a team.
Choose a TEAM and a CLASS. More than one member of a team can be a given class, but ideally all classes should be chosen by someone at some point in the round.
Also suggest a time limit for each turn--say, a turn is 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 15 seconds, whatever. This will be important, as many weapons have effects that do stuff by the second.

And a map? Um...lemme get back to you on that.

Turn 0
Turn 1
Turn 2, Crash
