I admit that I can get steamed, but that doesn't mean my attitude is like that all the time. You can ask anyone that I have worked with. I am very fun to talk to and if I have a problem with you I will adress it. "That is my desicion as Manager, and if you don't like it, that is too bad." That sounds a lot like the old managers of 2k1's attitudes about hiring staff...

You also stated that you wanted new kingdoms. These may be "new" but they are the old kingdoms with new ideas. You could have just kept the old kingdoms in and just had people come up with new things for them.

[sarcasm]Yes, it's really a good idea to have an all-powerful kingdom that can morph into other creatures and go to their secret base from anywhere, at night! And not being able to go in churches? Wow, that really balances all their overpowered strengths![/sarcasm]

I have no opinion about this because I know nothing about it.

Perhaps you have forgotten that he was once Commander Herron Shade of Dustari? He would not have acquired that position if he was not a good RPer.
|
I understand this and am talking with Signas on AIM. I never intended to attack him, but Gryffon is stuck on the idea that your decisions are always right and shouldn't be contested.

5) Graal2001 hiring in general: I explained before - it is a closed hiring system at the moment. We have as many staff as we need. If the occasion arises that we need more, I ask someone who either a) used to work here, or b) I know the skills + qualities of that person.

I wanted to help 2k1 because it was my favorite server. I still love 2k1 and will play the server regardless. Why would you hire old people anyway. You should get fresh new faces to join your staff and add a little spice to the server.

6) What the people want: People don't know what they want - it's rather obvious. Tyhm illustrated that rather well with his creation of Graal1998/Graal2000. He made it apparent that the people, who thought they wanted the old levels, really did not want the old levels but the community that existed back then. Besides, this is not a democracy, nor should it be.
|
I have said countless times that I wanted new levels. I also do miss the old community.

|
That's not true. We are the ones that play this game and should be the ones that make some of the desicions. By not letting players decide what they want you are only making it so people don't want to play the server. It is in fact "our server."

That I agree with you on. Just because a kingdom didn't get in doesn't mean that nothing will happen.

I know exactly what I am talking about. Maybe I don't have all the info, but that's what arguing sometimes give you... MORE INFO.
