That's not too much to ask for.

Are you kidding me? I hold plenty of events, just because I don't see you at my events doesn't mean I don't hold them. Do your research first.

I don't need to join events to know when they are going on. If you say you host events, then I'll take your word for it, but I just havn't seen you host. You must host when I'm not on.

Googi 07-06-2005 06:11 PM
Yeah Damix hosts events every now and again.

Damix hosts more events than the other EMs. Sam obviously holds more because he's on more. I don't think you should be coming to a conclusion so soon Sky when you're pretty inactive now. You used to be on a lot, but not anymore.

What you want is probably a person who can speak fluent English and has a general knowledge of what he's doing, which is where we get to the problem we have right now.

Sincerly,
Fry
he wants someone on when he is on there is more chance of someone who is a american who gets the job to be on when he is becuse of timezone diffrences and such.

and Draenin it just shows how stupid you are to steriotipe all americans sure there are hicks but thats like me saying every person where you come from is a nazi that hates jewish people or a french person who eats from legs although the nazi thing is over and frog legs still tast good those are person attacks on a persons nation whitch i find offinsive now that i just waisted my post for the day!!!!

Googi 07-06-2005 07:33 PM
It's not like there aren't any American staff. Brad just wants to have the most powerful staff on the server (Bjorn) to speak English.

Bingo.

Having an American events master doesn't do jack for us.

Python523 07-06-2005 09:16 PM
What he is asking for is an active American staff with power since the Europeans seem to hold the monopoly on that. He wants someone who can actually do something besides hold events that lives actually near his timezone and not 6-9 hours away from it.

Yes, yes, bingo again.

VulcanP2P 07-06-2005 09:17 PM
Malinko is American. If you're having problems with understanding a European staff member you could contact him to see if he can help you.

How hard is that to understand?

MasterNuke 07-06-2005 09:41 PM
Probably would want a non-developer staff.

And speaking fluent English as a + :o

Gambet 07-06-2005 09:47 PM
Malinko quit his position on GK (I was speaking to Malinko a little bit earlier). He does still do debug work, though, I believe.

Contacting Malinko gets you a quick redirect to Bjorn.

I don't have that much powers like the most people of you may think. Lance and Jagen had much more in their active time then I have now.
Just do clear one thing up. Lots of people think I can restore lost items, change accounts, or transfer stats. This is NOT true.

You can also write me an eMail, Forum PM, AIM, ICQ or MSN message.
My eMails are checked every 15 minutes and I get all new ones displayed on my desktop. Forum PM's are checked by me at least twice a day.
It's easy to contact me you just have to do it and not wait for me to log on client somewhere.

GoZelda 07-06-2005 11:03 PM
Yes I do, Brad.

Brad's point is proven right here.

This is definitely an old thread, but I feel that the problem should be addressed now as it was then.

After 6:00 PM EST, there are no staff members on Graal Kingdoms. If you have a problem after this time (as I did yesterday), there is no one that can help. Personally, I don't care if the Staff member is American, Canadian, or whatever, but I think that there needs to be at least a member of the Graal Police on past 6:00 PM EST, considering that this is the peak time for players, and also most scamming/illegal activity happens during these hours too.

Draenin 04-07-2006 01:27 AM
I am usually on late at night, EST. However, you all should know my situation by now. Heh.

CidNight1142 04-07-2006 01:42 AM
Yeah, that's my time period as well. I'll be hosting events during that time though, which is good because it's been devoid of that for quite some time (especially since Draenin's computer went on the fritz.)

Lylic 04-07-2006 01:57 AM
I understand that there are EMs that are online...

I'm not trying to bash the responsibilities of Events Masters, I respect them for what they do, but there needs to be someone on that can take actions against scamming and other illegalities...

CidNight1142 04-07-2006 03:10 AM
I agree, unfortuantely Sam can't be on 24/7. I don't think it would hurt to find a new Police with an opposite time zone as Sam.

I kinda agree with Brad...It is kind of hard to get your points across to non american staff... Its nothing about how smart we are. I have no doubt in my mind that bjorn and stefan are very capable and smart, but since English is not their first language and languages always change...things may come across differently than we interpret them. I've seen it done a few times myself =x

The carrier of Graal is in Europe > French > Paris

Lance, Malinko, Zero Hour Damix2, MasterNuke, Raziel, REW_darklink200 from USA and Canada.

I think its a good intermixture.
People would like an American Admin. Not just an American EM or Police who really have no power. That is not helpful. Im not talking about replacing anyone either im saying add an extra admin who is american with equal powers. Also Malinko may be american and at one point he may have had power on GK. But he wasn't familiar with much on GK so it was hard for him. We need someone who has played and knows the concept of items and everything else on GK. A non developer who mainly helps with players issues since Stefan does not have the time.

eh konidias was GM and he is from South Carolian

At one time, this was a reality. Jagen and Lance. Made for a nice mixture of evil and good.

At last we have the support center. Golbal staff check the SC and they act if its important (a hacking e.g.). Scams can be reported to the SC and we act after investigations. Fact is that we do not restore scammed items. Check the thread "Rules" in the info section of GK for more infos.

Malinko is a PWA and have as all PWA's global RC, that doesn't means he have the power to ban someone on GK for scamming.
Graal Police have all the power they need to check accounts and to ban players. There is no Admin right that you need to help in the case of scamming.

I understand that i was scammed, but I am not referring to just scams. If anything GK related goes wrong after these times, there is no GK staff/admins on that can deal with a problem, and it's a bit disconcerting.
