Brad's proposal
 

Dear Graal Online Players/Administrators/Haters


My name is Brad and I am proud to be an American. What I am not proud to be right now is part of the graal online community. When I need assistance from a staff member they cannot understand me because they are from another country. My proposal is that we hire someone who speaks the English language as their #1 language. Not 2, not 3. Bjorn, Sam, and any other foreigners please don't respond to this since I don't care what you have to say. Anyhow, this is not a hate-thread, not making fun of anyone, and not breaking any rules so for the love of god don't close this. I don't care who the American staff member is, just hire one. Now.


Love, BRAD

Why?

I try to help out players who need helping. Though I'm just a lowly EM, I have no problems communicating with Sam, so if you feel you need an intepreter...

Because my leader doesn't wear a crown. This isn't what my thread is about stay on topic Mr. moderator.

How does that reflect on you?

...

it doesnt at all

my thread has nothing to do with me being proud to be an american why are you changing topics

i get ****ing yelled at when I do it so stop


and I guess you're not a mod anymore? I dont care just stay out of my thread

Stefan already knows of this. This thread was not needed. This thread will just turn into a "Look at all of my accomplishments....PICK ME" thread.

if he knows why isn't anything being done ace

OOOHH!@!1!

*Hands Gambet a fire extinguisher*

You just got BuRnT!!1!!11

I hate arguing on these forums and I don't even try to start arguments.

Burnt? Wow, you really are a child, arn't you, "ace"? (to Curt)




Anyways, Brad, something is being done. Things DO happen behind the scenes/things ARE discussed behind the scenes (out of public), you just need to wait til Stefan chooses someone (he's looking for someone).

Now, with that said, this should be closed, before this turns to a "pick me" thread (as I stated above).

Hello Brad,

although I know what problem you have there, I do not agree with the "just hire any American" part, hiring anyone is generally not a very good idea as some "gangster" who will confront me with their "english", as you call it (considering that you said you don't care what American), will help me as much as a monkey, although these nice little animals are pretty helpful, actually.
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

Haha, now that's the spirit!

thank you for putting what I said into something what i wanted because i cant do that since im mad right now

yeah I dont want an idiot hired I want someone who knows what they're doing

as much as I fought with lance he knew what he was doing

i dunno who else there is who would be intelligent enough to take the spot

EDIT EDIT EDIT

and to sosolid who i dont know im not badmouthing england dont badmouth america guy

You're a peach at understanding my tone, aren't you?

You know this how? Have you wiretapped Stefan's RC client?

You know absolutely nothing - don't make assumptions.

Heaven forbid we allow this thread to continue and evolve into a productive discussion!

Intelligent? It's not much about intelligence. An English-speaking admin would just have to be experienced on the field/know what's been going on/how things are ran on GK. Of course, they would have to be able to speak/read/type/understand proper english.



Really? Or maybe I was just there when it was being discussed with Stefan?


Yeah, exactly, stop your childish comments.

So why did you say it?

Anyway, Fry is right; we only need somebody that can speak English fluently. We don't need an American.

Don't sidestep me, Gambet.

Most people from other countries don't have English as their first language or aren't online when Americans are to help us. I just assumed an American would be the best choice.

Sidestep? I answered your insolent remark. Consider that the last time I answer to your insolence.

I disagree. We need an American, since a majority of the server is American.

Having the same or close timezone would benefit.

Yeah, so? What does that matter? The only necessary criterion is that they are fluent in English, regardless of when they learned it.

And America is not the only country whose primary language is English.

This thread's about language, dude. Timezones are a different issue entirely.

You ignored the other comment. Their online time is a major factor. If they're from Europe and are on when we are asleep it's not going to help us Americans.

No I didn't. Scroll up.

My bad didn't see that. I didn't write the original post right. I'd like a fluent english speaker who lives in the correct timezone. I don't want someone who can speak English but lives in China. Thats all I want and I'm not going to argue about it since theres no reason to.

What about Canada? Mexico? South America? Are you guys not close timezone wise? Just because players are american doesn't mean staff need to be.

Sure. But America is the closest.

Might as well kill two birds with one stone, Kaimetsu.

I have no problem to understand you. Noone would get a job on a gold server if he/she is not able to speak good english.
Just a question, but why exactly english? Graal is a game from France. So we could also use French as mainlanguage for Graal. English is only used because it's a world language most of the people can speak.

Who exactly do you mean with other foreigners, please?
How I said Graal is a game from France. So this would mean you are foreign, too.
But since this is a big community noone should be called foreign.


That's all I wanted to say to this thread.
Thank you for reading.

Getting rid of all people outside the U.S. on Graal is basically suicide for the game. So you have to spend a minute or two thinking about what they were trying to say. Big deal. Live with it. Not everyone fluently speaks English.

Next to the server 'stats' and information, it says: Langauge: 'langauge'
For an example, next to Graal Kingdoms, its says: English

Graal was developed by Stefan a german guy.
He is the Technical Director. The Managing Director is unixmad a french guy.

The carrier of Graal is in Europe > French > Paris
GK staff: dNeonb, Schlurfy, SmallLars form Europe > Germany
Lance, Malinko, Zero Hour Damix2, MasterNuke, Raziel, REW_darklink200 from USA and Canada.

I think its a good intermixture.

Malinko = Doesn't bother getting on GK
Zero Hour = Police
Damix2 = Doesn't do anything on GK (inactive EM)
SmallLars = No clue what he does...I'm guessing he does work on debug
MasterNuke = Another inactive EM
REW_darklink200 = Another inactive EM
Raziel = A bit inactive (not as much as the other EM's)
Lance = Inactive (he hosted one event the other day after like months of being inactive and after the event he's still inactive)


GK needs a staff member that can speak/type/understand english fluently.

Damix hosts events often..

Unless he's not in the EST timezone, then he doesn't.

The staff is fine.

REW_darklink200 = Readded yesterday after a longer break on his request.

All of them except SmallLars can speak/type/understand english fluently. I hope it at last, because its their native language, but if you say they can't I have to trust you.

Sam, they are all inactive and have no power to do anything. Heck, even if they could speak/understand/type english perfectly, then that still wouldn't help.

Quit being ignorant American hicks that just like to say, "We don't want no damn foreighners" and be nice, for a change.

Did I say we need an american staff? No, I didn't.

Please, read my posts before posting.

Ditto.
