lol - a test script is just a document with steps to follow to prove there was no regression since the last build ..
and its not playing the game for money - its testing an unfinished game full of bugs and doing a professional job of bashing out those bugs ..

Jesus...that was a long interview. I had to answer a million technical questions to get this job and it couldn't have taken more than an hour.

Who are you and why do you think we care? You are just some idiot who registered last week that noone knows.

A toady.... i like that.

etymology's from toad eater:
[Q] From Roberta Groom in the USA: “I have been re-reading Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope and I wonder if you can explain the derivation of the phrase toad-eater? I can deduce what it means but the entire process sounds horrid.”
[A] We have to go back to British market and fairground quack doctors of the seventeenth century and earlier for the origin of this one. It was common for such men to have an assistant to do the dirty work, often somebody young or half-witted or otherwise under the boss’s thumb. As part of their sales pitch, such fake medical men sometimes made their assistants eat (or more usually, pretend to eat) a toad.
The common European toad was commonly regarded as poisonous, as the warty glands on its skin secrete a rather nasty milky fluid when the animal is threatened (friends who are into natural history report they’ve handled toads many times and never had any trouble, but then they’ve not actually tried eating one alive; I’m told a dead one isn’t poisonous, provided you strip the skin off first, but the experiment is not to be recommended). The quack doctor would use his nostrums to make an apparently miraculous cure on his assistant and so enhance his reputation and his sales.
As a result, toad-eater came to be a nickname for a servile assistant to a showman. By the following century it had generalised into a term for any fawning flatterer or sycophant, and by the nineteenth century was often shortened to toady.

Neither. It's a term meaning "flunky", "bootlick", etc.

It's that guy that landed the toady betatester job for some software company. I'm betting he's not allowed to speak of it, so he went on a deleting frenzy.
