To clarify
Yogicat is saying that they wish to start a Spiral Knights "Let's Play", and they are putting out an application for people who wish to join it. He will add you as soon as you complete it and post it.
"name?" The name for the account you wish to use with the "Let's Play".
"age" Self-explanatory.
"skype name" Your Skype account. Apparently its necessary since they wish to communicate a lot during the recording.
"did you use steam?" Is your account tied to steam? (No idea why they would want that).
"are you funny?" As is.
And that's all there is to it.

Basically, someone tries to become the next Nicoya.

Improvements
As Alynn indicates, a Let's Play series tends to work best with games that flow in a clear chronological order, i.e. linearly. My suggestion would be to have some sort of plan or flow planned out, such as certain stratums, boss levels, danger room tour, etc.

Hmmm, sounds like fun.
Name: Balderus, Bladder rust, Baldy, Jonathon.
Age: 19 but when I smile, I look creepy so I'll say 23.
Skype name: Pfft, you funny. You actually think I have a Skype? Well I don't and it's Dabluemonkey42.
Do I use steam?: Dabluemonkey, It reeks of rabies and screencaps.
Am I funny?: I have a pseudo-British accent and I like to insult myself so yes.
Additional info to make me seem cooler than everyone else: I've gotten all of the achievements, done 2 shadowlairs, look pretty whilst wearing bombs for heads, sometimes spin when guardin' and bombin', play All three tiers of Lockdown whilst abusing trinkets, and I can type really fast when I'm dead.
I'm totally not desperate for companionship and youtubeness.

…
A Let's Play is basically when a player (or a group of players) records him/herself clearing a bunch of levels in a game with some sort of linear path, then provides a commentary.

Let's get something straight...
I'm no pessimist about let's plays, but let's play doesn't generally work with MMORPGs, as it will never end.
Not to mention this Nicoya you speak of is already doing this, let's plays are generally commentary to provide exposition on a game, to show and talk about it so others can understand, and it's most-effective on unique and lesser-known games.
Since this is an MMORPG (and while this game is unique, it's not overlooked as often since MANY people play it), and since someone else is already doing this game, it's likely that this will be an overshadowed project, not to mention there won't be much different to talk about from the other let's player since most of these updates have been done by him already.
And no, let's plays are not Vblogs, in case anybody thinks that.
That being said, I'm not saying you can't, it's just not likely to work out, doing let's plays is more of a hobby than something to accrue youtube fame with like most people seem to do it for.

A crucial element to most
A crucial element to most "Let's Play" is crowd-sourcing the decision making process.
Translated to SK it would be apropos to step on the gear mat at the start of each level and have the watchers determine which equipment from the available arsenal should be taken into that level.

@Debianlinux
No, its not. A Let's Play is basically a playthrough of the game with commentary.
A Walkthrough is the same, sans commentary.
Having audience input is not a necessity, unless there is an oppurtunity to do so, it remains up to the Let's Player to choose what they do next.
Generally, LP's of MMOs and open world style games (for example, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, GTA, Minecraft, an exceptionally large chunk of MMOs) aren't viewed as particularly good, since they tend to drag on for long periods of time with very little new content.
However, if you plan on showing off the missions, than its all good.

@Cryoworld:
Point taken. The LP's I have been involved in relied upon crowd sourced decision making so it skewed my perspective. "Let's Play" is, according to the general rule of play, a misnomer; it should be called "Watch Me Play" as it involves no crowd interaction.
