I'm finished with PWA
 

Hi

Yes, I'm done with being a PW Inspector, PW Reviewer, or dealing with any other complaints or concerns you have with the PW Administration. My reason for leaving, however, may just be different than others.

I think that I have outgrown my function as a "global staff member" in Graal. I simply don't have the time for it anymore. I work (as many of you may know when I reviewed nothing during the Christmas season), I have school (preparing to go to university), a social life (one of those "omg get a life don't play graal" things :rolleyes: ) and also I'm branching out to play other games during my online time. This is not to say I do not enjoy Graal anymore, I simply don't have the time to manage these things in the time that I allow myself so something had to be sacrificed.

Nemesis was an awesome boss, he did everything he promised he would, he sorted out all the problems I had. Torankusu, I wish you were a bit more active, but at least you listened. Angel, you're really commited to this thing, I'm glad you are, you'll do an excellent job, but make sure you're consistent in your motivation... you'll lose a lot of it along the road. If you guys need help for, say. the next week or two, asking me questions about how to write a review or judge something, I will help, but no reviewing or inspecting for me.

To the rest of you, those that I talked with and dealt with as a PW person. I will tell you this now before you find out the hard way. Some of you, it was much easier to communicate with you, simply because you understood that I was busy and we could communicate about other things than just Graal and PW crap. For some of you, congratulations, you made my life a living hell, made me totallly loathe the fact that I had to get on my damned AIM to deal with your pointless and stupid questions. That's why you sometimes didn't see me on for days, weeks at a time. HI, I'M A HUMAN TOO, I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS EVERY SINGLE DAY ABOUT "omg pliz lookit mah level and tell me wut u thikn" and "wut do u like in a playerwurld so u will pass it betterer" or "liek hi did u review my playerwurld yet, it's been 9 min since we last talked lol" x7 (every staff member from their server does that) I also hate it when people IM me saying "hey" and I reply by saying "hello" assuming they have something to say, but instead they just go "lol". Look, buddy, if you want to tell me something, tell me, I don't have all day.

But, please keep in mind, these people were maybe the 30 percentile, the rest of you, I had no problem reviewing your work, talking with you casually as best as I could, or anything else. For the most part, you're all decent human beings.

I guess I will tell Nolavario what they need to change, then review Exodia, then I hope that my duties as a PW member will be complete. I've honestly had it with it all.

PS- Don't ask me about hiring PW Inspectors. It's assumed that there will be a hiring of another one because I've left, but I don't know

Anyways, here is a picture of the daily grief I have to sometimes go through. This is not to evoke sympathy for myself, but to show you that sometimes I couldn't instantly message you back because you wanted me to, or wondered why I didn't reply.

Good day to you all. I still expect to play graal and mod these forums, but that is all.

I am sure it is a tuff job, sorry to see you go...but good luck to you in whatever you do

...Bad timing. I don't understand...heh I have very bad luck.

You guys always asked for more authority and power so you could do your job, and Stefan has given it to you. I don't care what you say...I just witnessed it. Argh...and because of it I might be out of luck...

Hmm well good luck to you. You seemed like you did your job, and well. By the way, if I was you I would have put everyone on ignore, and only accepted forum PMs. Then, if it is a trusted PW owner, put him on your list of people who can speak to you...

If someone truely put effort and time into a PW, they WILL find a way to contact you using the forums...that is why that is fair. If someone looks for the easy way, just IMing you, and giving you idiotic crap, then they clearly would not have bothered to contact you using forum PMs...

Hehe, well thats what I would do anyway...

Re: I'm finished with PWA
 

I love you too :rolleyes:

As long as you stick around :)

Happy retirement, you've done the graal community VERY proud.

Re: I'm finished with PWA
 

Bye, thought in my oppinion u were the second best rewier after Urizen :(

Re: Re: I'm finished with PWA
 

urizen only did one thing...besides *****ing about not getting power i mean

Urizen.. eww..
Aftershock.. wewt..

Aftershock's gonna be that guy all us oldbies can talk about when more newbie's come to leik Graal3d and we can be all leik

"Yea we knew Aftershock, heck.. we even talked to him :O!"

And all the newbie's will be leik "OMG!"

But.. I'll miss him along with Charles Amelyn :'(

I knew this yesterday I think it was. Anyway good luck. Im glad I wasn't on your AIM list at the time when you took that screenshot, although Im sure I did annoy you at the start, although I sort of senced that you didn't like talking about it, which is why I often talked about other things. Anyway shame to see you go like this its a shame. Also Jaffer, what did Urizen do that make you like him more than Aftershock? If you ask me Aftershock is one of the best PW Reviewers since I have joined graal.

And I agree, Angel is doing well and dont worry from what ive seen/heard she seems like she is going to stay active and consistant!

Well, Bai! :(

Goodbye, you did a great job.

Whatever happened to Urizen anyway?

The reason they IM you, is becouse you is/was the best PWA!

We will miss you...:(

Aftershock was the best reviewer. He was the first person to really describe the PW. The others were like a paragraph long.

And about those annoying people, I get the same thing. "thanks for helping me with my account :D" everytime I get on. I like a thanks and all, but I don't need to be constantly told thanks.

To everybody: If i cant have my opinion without critizing what i think, they shouldnt be here. Let me have my oppinion.

I think he was realy good

Well this really sucks for the PWA, you seemed to the only one holding it together.

Your reviews far surpassed any others, you painted a vivid picture for readers so they knew what the PW would be like, and what it needed. I only wish the current PWA or the next one they hire (if they do) can provide us with this.

Bah, this sucks :(

Haha
If you think I'm leaving Graal, I'm not, just leaving the PWA ;)

It's not about power. I didn't really have that much of a problem contacting Stefan when I needed to through the debug forum, and Angel has a much easier time doing so, so obviously that wasn't an issue. I simply don't have the time for it anymore and I've outgrown the job.

And Arcadius, you didn't make my life a living hell :)

As for putting my IM on private mode so people could reach me only in forum PM, I can't operate like that. It makes things much slower and really frustrates people. There were many times when I went on private buddy list mode for AIM just to talk to friends, but still, I can't hide forever.

For the rest of you, thanks :D
