Title: More GMs!
Post by: Linoleum on January 29, 2013, 02:49:27 pm
Don't worry, this isn't a "GM's sux0r!" thread

I've noticed a distinct lack of GM's lately (hey, we can all get busy), but it is quite frustrating when you encounter an actual bug.  I think the devs/gms should consider recruiting a few more to boost the numbers and give more GM coverage.

I would personally recommend sHoT, he seems like a pretty responsible player, courteous and helpful to newbies!  Either way, I think we need more GMs!

IRC client is opened 24/7 for me, and I do mean 24/7.
However I do not read #2238 nor #2238help lately but have them opened.

And if you suggest to wait for +reqs in game, noone will, not even me. +req's do not happen that often thus it is not worth to keep 2238 client with GM char online 24/7.

And whom would that be?
Most decent candidates in my opinion so far were people not interested in GMing themselves.
Adding more GMs to have them in pool of inactive ones is not an option.

Whats the worse that could happen?

I vote for the removal of Surf_Solar and Graf as forum moderators, they don't even play the game.


As for GM... My vote goes to Eternauta.

It is really not up to us players to decide so this is rather useless anyway.

There is no worst, he's probably the most decent FOnliner on this game.

I vote for removal of players from the game. Would result in no problems with GM abuse and GMs would handle all requesthelps that would come, thus we would increase GM efficiency to 100%.

I vote for dealing with it.

To be a Game Master hmm ... no thanks, I'd rather die happy.

I vote for nobody, it's definitely the guy, have you heard about him?

Graf

Wait what?

Graf played at start of session and sometimes have joined us in some PvP action, rarely though, but I don't think he has more time.

Oh man that tribal is still talking to me, uh what should I do? Should I hide or should I try to reason with the mammal?

Reason it is.

Triplenob nobody even said you are good material for GM lol :D

I don't even understand why anybody would want to, learn to take a hint.

Congrats TripleMoron you made me read the whole post of your bullshit :D

And if you don't know why somebody wanna be GM then you are even more dumb that i though.
That topic was probably to show who (by players) will be good GM. Poor Triplemoron can't get easiest things.

Shh, be quite the tribal increased his mental capacity and expanded his vocabulary, sensing anger, frustration, mammal might sense that I am manipulating with him, such creatures ... unpredictable, savage beasts. Must take caution.

That topic was probably to show who (by players) will be good GM.

I guess curiosity is an unfamiliar concept for the likes of you.

To be a Game Master hmm ... <------

See, I made it easier for you to digest. I never thought I was a good candidate, I'd be quite horrible to be honest at least that is what I think. Since you are so damn smart you should realize I was just merely expressing curiosity upon reading this quote below.

If you have a heard time understanding that people talk on forum, people discuss something on subject or something related to the subject, then you should go the fuck away and don't provoke truly useless conversations by your usual trolling and take your non-comprehensive garbage elsewhere.

Thank you for your attention.

Most decent candidates in my opinion so far were people not interested in GMing themselves.


And if you don't know why somebody wanna be GM then you are even more dumb that i though.

Uh, by the way you got it wrong, that was not what I meant, it was why the best candidates usually don't want to be a game master .......

Oh fuck this, man your so useless.

this thread is nonsense. i dont think suggesting anyone has any sense because there is enough gms in game. mayck, nexxos, voland and jovanka are almost always online so where do you see lack of gm's OP? my first post in this topic was joke though.

Erm... Well this blew up...  And the gms/devs seem to be getting a bit too defensive about it...

To the GM, yes, we can see that you are always online, which makes it even more frustrating when we actually need help, because it looks like you are there, just not actually responding.  There are often jokes along the lines of 'just wait for a GM to log on, should be around the end of ti... I mean soon".  Now, I know you guys do a good job, I've been helped out many times over the past few years when I've encountered a bug, but recently there seems to be a real drop in GM's actually being online and taking help requests.  I mean my character is STILL stuck, and has been for 3 days, even though every time I log on (which is fairly often I might add) I send a help request.  So I was suggesting spreading out the load a bit.

To the Dev, yes, that is another solution, but if that's where your head goes as soon as someone asks for support, then this game is in trouble.  Of course I can hardly blame you, how often you guys put up with abuse for all your hard work.  Still, moar gms

Having help by GMs when needed is a good thing.
But it's reasonable that the ingame command requesthelp doesnt get responded every time. Try IRC then or PM a GM on forum.
I can understand it can be frustrating to have your game messed up and only a GM can fix your problem, but there is no GM online.
But remember: those are not paid employees who sit 8 hours infront of a computer and go through user-tickets for a computer game.

On the: "take this guy as GM/this guy sucks at beeing GM" - we had countless threads of this kind which always end up the same nonesense and people yelling "me me me! take me!".
If the staff thinks a person is fit for GM they ask him/her and then it's yes or no. If the staff thinks a person isn't fit to do the job anymore they decide to boot him out of that position.


Also:

This is typcial ironic dev humour to answer to trolling forum members. Don't take it serious, it was not directed to you.
