PWA's were not hiring. If Bjoern was put into the team, well, I guess it's because they like the guy.

Darlene159 · #5 05-14-2005, 09:01 PM

Wouldn't a global have announced this if it were true?

xAndrewx · #6 05-14-2005, 09:03 PM

I don't know, I just heard this. It doesn't surprise me though

I thought he was just GK Admin. o.o

I think it would be best of the person in the position of power which controls the PW Team at the minute would have beenbetter off announcing this :P

It seems Bjoern is going to be added to the PWA team. I like the guy, but I havnt seen him do anything close to what PWA do, so I dont see how andrew can say it doesnt surprise him that he's getting the position.

Hrmm....

This just doesnt seem right.

That is because he is not PWA yet

What's your point? I've done PWA work and I'm not in the team (I.E all of my reviews/guides that I've posted). So, the fact that he isnt PWA yet is not an excuse.

And let me rephrase my statement..

I meant that he hasnt done anything to show that he would be good for the job. I mean, all I've seen/heard him do is administrate GK and do translations. I dont even think he gets on many servers other then GK/Debug.

Which is why I said "This doesnt seem right."

You could do review that has little effect on anything, yes, but that is about it. I'm talking about the other things, like finding objectional/illegal content. If he tried to tell a playerworld to change something, he'd probably be laughed at (unless he told a PWA member to go and handle the situation, in which case he is only a complainant). None of the other PWA (that I know of) did anything to take a seat in their positions, so I am not sure why Björn would need to go above and beyond. Normally an application would be called for, but he has been working directly under Stefan for a while, so Stefan knows what to expect.

No, they havnt done anything, but they have completed an application against like 100 others. Each time PWA's are hired, they are hired like 2 at a time, once every X amount of years. So, you are competing against like 100 others for the position, so the application is very important. So, he's been working under Stefan, so what? Does that mean he gets special priviledges? Well, I guess it does.

Read the last phrase in my post, silly. Normally an application would be called for, but Stefan has been observing Björn for months already. He already knows whether or not Björn is competent. Lets say you own a business, and you need to hire somebody for a high position. Who do you look at first: The people that you know already who you could give a promotion, or the average Joe on the street?
