Extra! Extra! Application for News Administrator!
3:28 EST 03/08/09
Stefan the lead coder of Cyberjoueurs (The parent company of Graal Online, and many Iphone applications) posted an application for a news administrator position. The application consisted of five questions, the first of which was,"What is your Graal account name?" This writer chooses to answer the question as pooper200000, more commonly known as Supernanny. The second question was if the applicant possess gold, and this question must be answered with a resounding,"Yes!" All of the questions to this point seemed to be almost general Graal application questions, until the third question came about. The question stated,"What is your past experience?" and provided additional detail asking for only relevant experience such as the creation of news, and updates on graal.net) The best way to state this is that the experience of this writer is over enough for the position. Writing experience can be considered many numerous activities, and therefore writers have as much and as little experience as they need. This native English speaking writer's experience consists of adding news for the Zone server, as well as updating miscellaneous articles for the Zone server. The fourth question stated in the application was one of the most important. "What would you like to do if given the position?" My best answer would be that I would attempt to visit all of the classic servers, as well as to visit servers under development. An example of a story this writer would put in the news would be for the server dev graal_PuppetMaster. The server recently had an open release, and it turned out to not be exactly what some people were expecting. However, the advertising of this server on Graal.net, may have helped the process of pointing developer's to servers in need of assistance. In addition to posting news, this writer would utilize experience with from being the Zone FAQ chief to work on creating comprehensive new articles, and also this writer would work on expanding some of the current articles. One of the aims of this writer would be adding pictures to the news for particular servers as well as adding information for Graal users with an interest in Graal. This writer's contribution's would not be limited to only their ability to take screen shots. This writer could also use their grammatical prowess and recently installed spell checker. Combined with the above and below proposed services by this writer and also combined with the duties of such a position as the News Administrator position, this writer would be able to handle the duties of a News Administrator. The last question is a question of clarity, "what makes this applicant unique and better than all the other applicants?" This writer's skills gained through experience from being a staff member on the Zone gold server, as well as this writer's interpersonal, and intrapersonal skills make the writer an ideal candidate for the position of News Administrator. Other unique qualities that really make this applicant stand out is the applicant's friendly and positive attitude and intuitive nature. This applicant is able to control their emotions when writing. This writer is in no way perfect with grammar, but this user's hard work and dedication are shown in all aspects of their work. All of this writer's combined skills make them a valuable asset to any Graal team, especially to the Graal News team. -Written by Supernanny (Pooper200000) |

Trying to hard mate

This is a very unique application, good job. Sounds like you understand the job your applying for, and would be quite good at it. ^^
|
do not confuse pretension with uniqueness
|
Was this a real application?
Or just a example of a application? Its interesting though long. |
Hell no...in a really nice way.>_<
You've proven how you handle positions of power through some of your moderation, which I won't argue about. >>valuable asset to any Graal team no. |
I vote for Supernanny, I guess!

Seeing as how these applications are public I assume we're allowed to express our feelings within the rules, with mine being:
Oh god no. Quote:

No, can't even mod properly.
|
@Supernanny: Unique application but I would like to see you fine tune your art of writing. Just a bit, not much in fact.
Otherwise I would vote for pooper for this job. |
The guy tries to be unique with his application instead of the same boring generic layout that all the other applicants have used and people rip him apart over it? Give him a break.

I try to be reasonable with how I do my job, but my job is to enforce the forum rules. I love suggestions, because if there is a problem with how I am doing my job it gives me insight on how other's feel I do my position. Your insight allows for me to improve and do a better job in the future. I'm not perfect as I said within my application referring to my grammar, but I can work to improve on anything. We all make mistakes, but the goal is to improve and learn from our mistakes so in the future we don't make the same mistake again. I like referring to the common analogy,"Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!" Please understand that I'll explain my reasoning to you, but there are some posts that I will not restore. Quote:
The act of keeping the method in which I speak interesting allows for players to to be interested in reading when I speak. If we stick to the same dry format, players are bound to lose interest. Quote:

I'll admit I make errors, as I've stated twice within this thread. The trick is to improve and to make no mistakes, or at a minimum less mistakes in the future. I'm not trying to say mistakes are okay, but we all make them and the best opportunity I can find out of a mistake is to learn from the mistake so the mistake will not happen in the future. I will say I've toned back on my moderation in the past week, an example of which would be that I've tried to relax on the deletion of posts as spam or off topic. Quote:

The only thing I really question you about is that, 99% of the time, you are on Zone. I highly doubt you even know much about each server, I know if you get the job you can go to each server and see whats going on, but it is always good to have some sort of background on servers right?
|
Jumping on the bandwagon of letting our opinions fly, I'll be honest: This application isn't that bad.
Because a majority of the other ones suck too, just for different reasons. |

Just because I am unaware of all the servers and their back rounds does not mean I am unable to develop an opinion about the server and to provide news updates for each. Part of the position would be to visit each server and to ask the staff members what some of the recent updates were so I would be able to create news articles. Quote:
|
though I must say, at firsts when I just became ET you where friendly and helpful to me.

No offense, the last thing I want to read is an opinion, It would be great if we could have facts. And another thing maybe the players could have good information too, Graal News doesn't revolve around the staff of the servers. |
Firstly I'd like to say your application is GENIUS. Applying for a news position and posting an application like that? Genius. If you think otherwise, you're an idiot or jealous.
Secondly I'd like to say Supernanny is extremely mature in all aspects of Graal staff that he is apart of. Working with him over the years I can say: -He is extremely trustworthy with "power" and wouldn't abuse it -When he agrees to do something for you, you don't need to concern yourself whether it will be done right or not. But unfortunately, finally I must say, aren't you a little busy to be picking up another Graal occupation? |

I am busy with all of my positions, but I do not feel my involvement in another position would keep me from doing my current jobs. If anything, my involvement in such a position could further my knowledge, and in furthering my knowledge I may be able to do my current jobs better. I would be able to do my current jobs better, because of an increased knowledge of problems within the Graal community. I would inevitably find out about those problems from my exposure to each server. In finding out the problems, I would find the fix to the said problems. |
Creative isn't always good, unless you're generally a creative, fun person. You're not, so this just made you look stupid.
|
Overall, It is an interesting application, I like your responses, I just think your experince with Classic and Hosted and even Dev servers are minimum
