Hey, it's the truth, Kai does stuff that he knows damn well will piss everyone off.

And you do stuff that you too should know "damn well" will piss lots of people off, too!



Wait a second, I just realized...

I explained how that was reasoned and in the public interest. Arguing "people who are stupid enough to be tricked by fake RCs deserve it" is not logically sound.

In the public interest? That's bullshit, the change wasn't needed and annoyed more ppl than it pleased. Is it "logically sound" to make a change that benefits the .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000001% of graalians not smart enough to know that the player is not an RC but is merely posing as one and should have been jailed/banned before he could fool anyone ?

No it isn't. The RCs already had something to distinguish themselves as RCs (ever heard of staff tags?)

The difference: no one is affected by what I do, he ruined ppl's characters by restricting that head.

As I explained at the time, I used to use that head and I was often mistaken for staff. I see no reason to believe that this isn't the case with others, and I don't think people should have this opportunity to lead newer players astray. The number people who were (inconsiderately) using the head was fairly small anyway.

1) How many alias, accounts or handles have you went through during your experiences with Graal?
Accounts: 3 (Oh, what I would do for ownership of the account "Boozy" :()
Aliases: 4

2) If you could change one thing about Graal, what would it be?
No player-staff on official GO servers. However, players would still be able to submit their work to be put on the server. (And get credit for it, of course)

3) Who's the best staff you've met or ask for help, did they seem helpful or fatigued and just wanted to do their job?
WildDude, on Bravo. He helped me a lot, and was very friendly about it.

4) Who's the worst staff you've met or ask for help, did they seem annoyed or did they just threaten you until you found someone else?
I've never encountered a staff member like that.

Edit: Well, maybe Yakuna. But that's only cause I kept on harassing him, so I deserved it. :p

5) How long have you been playing Graal, refrain from versions?
Um, can't remember exactly. Between March and May of 2000.

6) Do you think staff are fair and listen to the players or just want in the lime-light?
Depends on the staf member. Unfortunately, I'd say most just want in the lime-light.

7) Would you consider Graal a fun game or addictive one or both?
Both fun and addictive at first, but after a few months it gets old.

8) If you had to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of this game, which would triumph?
Advantages.

9) Look back on your favorite playerworld or server of all time, what was it and why was it your favorite?
Bravo Online! Fun and friendly staff and community. Most fun I've ever had on Graal! How I miss this place. :(

10) You've finaly quit Graal, what was the one thing you took with you that you were happy you played for; the friends I met, hours of fun gameplay or nothing at all and this game will never bring anyone satisfying gameplay!
The friends I've met, and my time on Bravo.

11) Where will Graal be 3-5 years down the road, in your opinion?
I couldn't begin to imagine. Maybe NewWorld will finally be released. :rolleyes:

or maybe even G2k2! ;D

Advantages.

Friends.

11) where will Graal be 3-5 years down the road, in your opinion?
Assuming stefan notices that the staff isn't doing their job, a retail game that's on every other shelf on the top 10 list. If stefan doesn't, then he'll make it "host-your-own-server" again and it'll go into the archives of abandonware.:rolleyes:

It's released today. And they haven't delayed it. It should be out later today. Roxors. :p

where have you bee? X_x

it got delayed again, pal.

Even the newest of newbies to 2k1 is most likely a graal oldbie. (in other words smart enough to know who's staff and who's not)
The number of idiots who would mistake such players for staff is probably smaller than the number of ppl who used that head. Is such a change that benefits such a small percentage of players needed. No it isn't.

Oh here's the quote from that thread that led me to post the first message stating player's opinion means absolute zero according to you.

Yup, another release date passes and the players get nothing to enjoy but another delay and 2k2 staff's empty promise that they are working on it.

Like I said, people mistook me for staff. This is pretty big evidence that people do mistake those with head25 for staff, no? Now, which is the more significant event on a person's Graal life: Being fooled by a fake RC and possibly losing their stuff, or being prevented from using one head out of many hundreds that they were inconsiderate to use in the first place?

Give me figures that back up the claims you make and you'll have an argument. Until then, it's just my perceptions versus yours.

I actually said that YOUR opinion means nothing to me. Quite a big difference there.

good god, if you guys want to argue, do it in a PM or over AIM. quit polluting my thread!

Those who did are probably now all dead from crack overdoses.
On non p2p where newbies go this might be expected, but not on 2k1 where most ppl have played for a long time and would know who's staff and who's not.

ROFL that is flat out rediculous. How on earth could anyone even before the head was restricted scam ppl by posing as staff when it's obvious that they are fake? If they are not in the staff box at the top of the playerlist, they aren't staff, it's that simple.


It's not about being unable to use the head, it's that the head was restricted for a flat out lame reason and only benefits the .00000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of those who fall for fake staff.

Dude how the hell did you get that out of what he said? He is just saying the question is useless. He listens to his players and what they think about the game all the time. He is saying it is hard to tell what could happen in 4 years. The question should have been something smaller, like 1 year. I don’t think even Stefan could predict what would happen in 4 years.

It happened on G2K1 most often. You can say they're stupid, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve service and protection from undue harm.

Want me to explain it a fifth time? People mistook me for staff. They could just as easily mistake others for staff too. Y'see? Anytime you need it a sixth time, just ask.

You consider it lame. Fair enough, you're entitled to that opinion. But until you give me statistics that convince me that the cons outweigh the pros, I will continue to believe that restricting the head is in the best interests of utilitarianism.

I really do not see the big deal with you restricting that head. Atleast until they get another head for RC. I just think most people that play graal will just whine about anything they can.

11) where will Graal be 3-5 years down the road, in your opinion?
DragonX's basement

it's the truth, lol. ^_~

Re: player questionnare! answer please
 

1) Aliases, probably 3-4. Accounts? Counting RC, probably around 8-9. Handles? Isn't that the same thing as aliases?

2) I wouldn't change a thing.... Maybe some more stable staff and stable NPC (server) commands/programs.

3) Jeff. I ask him to get on RC, and it's almost like before I click send over AIM he's already there. Ultimate had a high tolerance, though... I remember setting my nick to Panda Boy Extro... nevermind. It's a long story.

4)Too many to name. Particularly HEYhost, even though I worked for him.

5) Hard to refrain from versions, but I did take a large break in between them.... I know on this current streak, since January 2001. Without stopping. ;)

6) Some are. Some aren't. Everyone wants just a bit of control. Some more than others.

7) OH GOD. Help. (Which I believe translates to both)

8) Advantages.

9) ... Classic. Duh ;)

10) I can't quit Graal. Help. God. Please.

11) Possibly dead, possibly not. In 5 years, it will be the 10th year anniversery, so I have high hopes for the future.

If they fall for something that obvious, they don't deserve ****.

So ppl are around that mistake players for staff, big deal? They get ripped off out of their own stupidity, all of graal laughs thier asses off at them, and the game goes on. Nothing needs to be done to "protect" these *****s

Statistics mean nothing on graal.

HEY, I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! I'VE GOT MY CAPS LOCK ON AND I THINK GRAAL IS ACTUALLY A MONOPOLY. PERIOD.

heh, well they do if you want Kai to release the head to the public again.

Stupid management belief 1) Gullible players do not deserve service.

Stupid management belief 2) Statistics mean nothing.

See why I say I don't care about your opinion?

Re: player questionnare! answer please
 

1) how many alias, accounts or handles have you went through during your experiences with Graal?
accounts:

Trojan Warrior of N-Pulse
Spirit Warrior of Death
REDRUM
Kamikaze Cyclone Spin
La Chupacabra
Assassin Android Grade D

2) if you could change one thing about Graal, what would it be?
I would try and run it on AOL servers so there would be more players and make it half free and half pay.

3) who's the best staff you've met or ask for help, did they seem helpful or fatigued and just wanted to do their job?
Best staff members:
ETD, ZeldaPlayer, Geovanie, NightFall, Beedoe1, KawaiiSaria
Always helpful.

4) who's the worst staff you've met or ask for help, did they seem annoyed or did they just threaten you until you found someone else?
Monkey Plop, The God's (npulse), Lord Freedan.

5) how long have you been playing Graal, refrain from versions?
Summer 99

6) do you think staff are fair and listen to the players or just want in the lime-light?
It's pretty much equally distributed. The ones who listen don't have problems with players and tend to have a very well ran server. The ones who don't are always encountering problems with players that bash staff on a daily basis.

7) would you consider Graal a fun game or addictive one or both?
It starts off as a fun and wonderful game and remains that way until you find the level editor where you can mess around with making levels and make npc's. From that point on it turns into addiction.

8) if you had to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of this game, which would triumph?
Hard one.They're both dead even at this moment.

9) look back on your favorite playerworld or server of all time, what was it and why was it your favorite?
N-Pulse (pre god era)
It was my favorite because it had reliable and respectable staff. Along came with that was lots of quests to keep players busy. Lots of events held from time to time. Also can't forget about the wonderful 200+ players that used to play there and them server wide wars between TCN and DX.

10) you've finaly quit Graal, what was the one thing you took with you that you were happy you played for; the friends I met, hours of fun gameplay or nothing at all and this game will never bring anyone satisfying gameplay!
I enjoyed having fun and interacting with lots of interesting people online.

Well I say it has been the late nights waiting for people to review my tryouts, or the late nights waiting to see what people will think about the new thing I uploaded to the server, either way its late nights and waiting for self-satisfaction. I get happy when people are happy.

11) where will Graal be 3-5 years down the road, in your opinion?
I think this game will flourish, although I believe it will change a lot, and stefan will be older like all of us, I think a lot of people will leave, I'll still be here...
