    A short description of why you want to become a tester:
    I want to become a tester as KAG is one of my favorite games ever made, however, it could be better I feel. I notice lot's of little bugs and problems that could be improved on, and I would like to help THD fix the bugs they're currently dealing with by finding and explaining them.

    Have you ever used IRC?
    Only once, I have reported that an official US server got crashed by someone spamming ladders, @Solaris got right on it and can vouch for me that this usage occurred. However, i'm rather nubbish when it comes to IRC, so I would need a bit of explaining before I can warm up to it.

    What OS do you use?
    Currently i'm on Windows XP professional 32 bit, but in the future i'm planning on building a computer with windows 7 on it. This could very well happen around June, so it's not always gonna be Windows XP.

    Find a bug in KAG or TR and give a brief bug report on it or give some constructive feedback on a feature in one of those games.
    There's a bug that causes floating blocks that occurs when a player places blocks on top of a structure that's currently falling. I have even seen this happen once or twice on the TDM map Ommadawn. This is still occurring in build 1830 and here is evidence to prove that it's still a thing. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=677148918
    While it isn't that big of a deal it can certainly provide an advantage to one team or another if they know how to reproduce it right, which is just spamming blocks on a falling structure.

    Any other information you'd like us to know or take into consideration?
    I'm gonna be honest here and say that i'm not a code expert, I would need some explanations on how all of it pieces together, or I can research this on my own. I play KAG around 4 hours a day and bounce from multiple servers in different regions, but it's incredibly rare to find me on an unofficial server. I do have experience setting up a bug report which you can find here https://forum.thd.vg/threads/1830-bomb-bolt-tech-does-not-upgrade-onto-existing-ballistas.25395/ while it wasn't truly a bug the post does show that i'm willing to take time to make a clear bug report with screenshots and testing done on it, as well as me having an eye for suspicious game activity. Here's another bug report with an ACTUAL bug https://forum.thd.vg/threads/1830-floating-blocks.25413/ which I will be testing shortly.
