Graal Kingdoms Police
 
I have hired three new Graal Police members to Graal Kingdoms who will help patrol the Graal Kingdoms streets for thieves and criminals!

The three new GPs are:
  • Jcs1919
  • Stephen
  • Obs311

Please give them your full respect, virtue and acceptance. If all goes well, I will eventually hire one of these GPs to be the GP Captain and manage the team.

If it is needed, I will hire more GPs later.

Damix2 04-12-2009 12:36 AM
Sounds good. Surprising that GK went without GPs for so long.

Gothika 04-12-2009 12:37 AM
It's good to have respected, reliable GPs back. Congrats to all three of you!

Nataxo 04-12-2009 12:47 AM
Nice!

cyan3 04-12-2009 12:48 AM
I'm really glad to see we GP's back on Graal Kingdoms.

Elizabeth 04-12-2009 12:58 AM
congrats! graal kingdoms is reuniting with its formal glory!

Why not just merge EM, FAQ, and GP, have them all do all three and always have someone from one of the three on to help?

Not all staff members are skilled or interested in pursuing each role. It's also very stressful and creates more havoc for our volunteers. :)

i like this idea better, actually- they'd be like, graal kingdoms admins. however, some of the staff may not be able to host events for whatever reason.

Fire all of us and hire ones that are then, it beats having 30 players on and a FAQ instead of an EM, or having a EM around when there's people harassing someone.

I support this 110[percent].

Congrats on GK getting GP's and who was hired!

so what're they supposed to do when they're in the middle of an event, and the only admin on, and a player needs FAQ or GP assistance asap?

The point of merging them would be to have more people who are more helpful, there should be another person on to take care of it. Think of it like me and Pat hosting, it's a team effort man.

I'm afraid we may have a little trouble replacing our staff... and explaining ourselves. >_<

but if there's one of them on, they can't just leave the event because someone needs assistance in another category that they fall under, not to mention it'd be 3x the PMs with all three positions merged into one.

"We need people better suited to the job"

It's not like many of them would be getting fired, people like Felix, John, Drakeero, me, etc etc, we're pretty perfect. How many of us really aren't qualified to do one more thing? It's not we (EMs) don't get asked questions too. I'd say you have a pretty perfect line up of staff members as it is. It's just not being used effectively. Hell, we all already have that useless GK Staff tag, why not use it?

That same problem would happen now if the only person on tag was an EM, so that's hardly an argument.

cyan3 04-12-2009 01:17 AM
I agree with Stephen, It would be very hard for a staff member to be 3 position on the server and not everybody has the skill required for every position.

Tigairius 04-12-2009 01:32 AM
It's always nice to spread around power too, I don't want someone to be too powerful unless they really earn it. I can't say I support giving full GP, EM, FAQ, etc power to all of our staff because it increases the chance of corruption and is harder to manage.

Right now each team has a manager, and each team is nice and organized.

Galdor 04-12-2009 01:32 AM
Yea have (GM)'s just like they have in most online games that deals with everything other then development stuffs.

Sky 04-12-2009 01:32 AM
I think FAQ and GP should have been merged into 1 thing, if anything. Only because FAQ doesn't do anything other then answer questions. I can't even help any, just offer them advice basically. x.x.. Any staff can pretty much do that. ;0

Actually, it's very important that the FAQ is very personable and friendly, where as GPs and EMs don't have to require that trait as much. The FAQ team is a friendly face for our players, if you have a question, a FAQ should respond in a friendly manner and be willing to show them and have a lot of patience. It requires a very special personality to be a good FAQ member because it requires patience, understanding and knowledge.

When hiring any FAQs I always try to examine their psyche before making any final decisions to ensure they will do well as a FAQ and treat the players respectfully as I'm sure Felix and John do as well.

Right now FAQs are even more important because the playercount is much bigger than before and you get a lot more questions.

Lol, I guess that's why you asked me to be FAQ. :P

You got me to quit FAQ and move to EM, that saying something about me?

What exactly is the job/purpose of the GPs? Basically, what will they do?

Well, as outlined in GK's private GP forum,

Your Duties
Your duties as a Graal Kingdoms Police officer include the following things:
  • Punish people for breaking our rules (stickied in the main forum).
  • Keep our community safe and clean.
  • Show players good behavior by example.
  • Watch for hackers, cheaters, scammers and glitchers.
  • Do not show favoritism to your friends, foes, kingdom allies, kingdom enemies, etc.
  • You must act as a judge and make a reasonable, fair decision based on each circumstance.
GK's GP team's jurisdiction also falls under requesting bans on players. For example, if a GP sees that it would be fit to ban someone, they may make a request and I will ban the person for the reason that they specified. The GP Captain will have ban rights, and will be able to take over this post once they're hired.

Geno 04-12-2009 07:51 AM
having a police tag is great. jailing people for "scamming" and "hacking" when they act a fool is all great fun.

Banning rights should not be used lightly.

CABAL49 04-12-2009 06:15 PM
Wasn't John already an EM, FAQ, and kinda a GP before this?

John is also the assistant FAQ Admin.

Are you saying we EM's aren't friendly?! :cry:

Ravenblade1979 04-13-2009 05:00 PM
@Pojo: Sorry as much as that sounds nice it would never work.

Gratz to the 3 new GK Police.

All staff members should be friendly but it is specially required as an FAQ because we can be dealing with many questions at the same time from different people which slows down the time it takes to answer the questions. In this sort of situation we have to be friendly and informative while answering the questions as quickly as possible to help other players that also need questions answered.

Yesterday is a perfect example with around 80 players online most of the day.

Ravenblade disapproves of my ideas, it's official: They're awesome suggestions.

Great news! Congratulations guys. Good luck!!

MajinDragon 04-15-2009 02:12 PM
Congrats to two of the three GP's.
Hope the rules are upheld, already had to school some people on justice.

If your talking about the earth to dust incident in the easter dungeon I would class it as harassment if done multiple times to a single person just to annoy them.

Crono 04-15-2009 06:16 PM
I give you my full respect, virtue, and acceptance.LOL

Ravenblade1979 04-15-2009 07:59 PM
@Pojo: first off lol...secondly I said it was a good idea but really wouldn't work out. Too much on one person would just take a toll on them.
