I was at a loss for a witty introduction so I'm just going to say a big Hi to you all, since most of you know me and who I am
I've been playing graal since I was 9. From the moment I started, I was hooked and I still am. I can't put a reason down to it but it's probably because of it's diverse community, which accepts people in all shapes, sizes and type.
With my spare time, I like to develop on Graal. This includes graphic design, level design, scripting, sound design and ganis. I started developing in general when I was around 11 years old so, in some areas, I'm experienced at what I do. I have also become a decent team leader through a love of working with people.
My experience in general are as follows:
Babylon - Webmaster, Graphics Designer, Developer, Asst. Dev Admin.
Bravo Online - Graphics Captain, Asst. Graphics Admin, Developer.
Endora - Graphics Designer, Developer x 4, Dev Admin, Admin
Unholy Nation - Graphics Designer, Scripter
N-Pulse - Graphics Designer.
Quian'Dor - Graphics, Developer, Admin, Manager.
Soakath - Project Leader
Gear (Dev Codein) - Project Leader
Classic - GAT
Bomy Moon - Graphics Designer
I have also been Moderator and Super Mod in many different online communities aswell, most of which are dead now.
As you can see, I have been active in the development of a lot of playerworlds (and many many more UC worlds). My large base of experience has enriched me with knowledge and the general "goings on" of most popular playerworlds. I am also a fair person and I do not tolerate any kind of discrimination, be it illegal or not. I am also an extremely fast learner, so I will be able to take on the harness of PWA duties almost at once.
I'm currently a college student and I also work at UPS as a technician, both require deadlines to be met and working under pressure.
I live in the GMT timezone, so I will be available to most European players and I could work behind the scenes to most East-Coast Americans. Any changes I make would happen "over night" so to speak, which is more fluid than making changes with a large player count.
I have little to no "good judgement" scenarios on Graal, however, in real life I have come face to face with many. Here are some examples:
A girl, who is a good friend, came to me with a problem. She was extremely confused about what to do. However, the facts were extremely visible and I made choices for her, based on the facts, steered her in to the right direction. Thanks to my judgement and choices, she was able to pick herself up and now has an MEng in Computer Science.
A final note: I always look for facts. I'm a very factual person, therefore, opinions do not leak into my community work. If something is against the rules, I will explain that the rules are facts and I will enforce the rules. However, I am able to talk to people easily. This makes me fair but friendly and generally easy to get along with.
From a glance, I would say that these things need to be done:
- Removal of extremely inactive playerworld from the Classic list.
- Encourage development servers, well, to develop. Possibly help each one in some way or form
- Go through each playerworld and check for anything that breaks policy. Discuss with the servers with what needs changing. Instead of problems coming to the team, the team goes looking for them.
