About my hiring policy..etc.

LordZen · #1 02-25-2003, 05:34 AM

I honestly do get alot of people asking about joining the Global GFX Team.

People think that we should be making more gfx for alchemized equipments on g2k2 also, there isnt that much reason behind that since you can no longer "get" alchemized equipment...and since only a fraction of the playerbase of g2k2 use such items, its not really that important.

Anyways, here are a few points about global GA team currently:

1) I am not hiring until guildcp becomes functional again. *gasp*

2) Graal Kingdoms is by far not our only responsibility.

3) Later, I may restructure my system a bit to allow people to be hired under a Gani position.

4) I will fire people more easily! For instance, Damix will be fired officially when I can remove him from the database again.

5) I wont use any sort of blacklist policy, meaning if you get fired and show to me you have improved in areas i have deemed lacking..then you get another chance. This also means that if I simply dont like you, then that will not be a factor in determining whether you recieve a spot or not. Exceptions to this would be if you are a known hacker or you really dont get along with the team etc.

6) I will punish members who try to use their tag to get special previleges on PW's without first consulting me and recieving approval.

7) Only myself can hire for Global GA team. Please do not go to other admins like Stefan or anybody else. They can only recommend to me, but I realize that usually this implies that those individuals were approached and asked to be hired, instead of myself being approached...so yea you'd do better just comming to me heh.

Actually...alchemized items are important since shields affect your sword striking speed but like you said it isn't your responsibility so...X_X

Adding gani makers to your team is an awesome idea too. The walk gani has screwed sound (footsteps aren't in time) and the hat on/off ganis with Classic bodies aren't that great. *Made a fix for both which should be default on all Classic servers*

LordZen · #3 02-26-2003, 04:00 AM

well I know they are important to some extent, everything deserves its own share of attention. My team only does gfx on request, we dont just make things for admin servers without first knowning that its wanted. Many people would rather the alchemized equipments were taken back out of the game, and well that still could happen..you know to clean up the mess random-alchemizing made.

Kaiser2 · #4 02-26-2003, 04:25 AM

Zen, strangely, I never thought you were the GFX Global Admin... If I had even a slight knack for GFX, I'd apply :o but I don't, so therefore I hope those that do possess skills get hired and stuff, though I can be your unoffical spell icon maker person on GK

I think I can do those...

LordZen · #5 02-26-2003, 10:54 PM

hehe thats because i seldomly wear my staff tag on Graal Kingdoms

I am always wearing my zormite tag, gotta take care of my troops y'know.~

Kaiser2 · #6 02-27-2003, 01:24 AM

Actually, I've seen you often on tag, but I guess I was never able to grasp the Admin part

evilive · #7 02-27-2003, 10:13 PM

Well... this might have been nifty if I wasn't associating myself with Graal any longer. The only place I would really work for is Era, so.... sorry Zen...

mrpimp546 · #8 03-01-2003, 05:08 AM

Zen when it does go up plz conatact me and tell em or something cause im sure that you would like my work :P.

Global Graphics Administration is pointless. They serve no purpose at all to the Playerworlds. They do a fraction of what the PWA does.

LordZen · #10 03-02-2003, 05:59 AM

thats out of ignorance you say that. Only thing we do related to PWA is the checking for illegal gfx, which we dont even really officially do, I just like for them to do that since it relates to our name and it was once only our responsibility.

Right, the PWA is to manage all the staff and pointless sqaublles(my own word) not go look for illegal gfx. They have rc for a reason, as GFXGlobal doesn't (as far to my knowledge they don't) so they just keep an eye out for it. The global rcs mainly stay on rc, and they arn't going to go search the gifs/heads/shields/levels folder for crap. So, they do a fraction? That helps the PWA get to more important things (not saying gfx arnt important.)

zell12 · #12 03-02-2003, 11:22 PM

No you nub, the PWA is supposed to review Playerworld Projects, Inspect Playerworlds, searching for illegal levels, graphics, npcs etc...

<Global> Means that they are <Global> staff and <Globals> get <Global> RC. So they do have RC for such things.

I was unaware that GlobGFX receive rc. I thought it was more of the jot down notes and let the GlobGFXAdmin know.

zell12 · #15 03-03-2003, 09:43 PM

No they don't get Global RC. Only Zen has RC on debug because he is Zormite king. The Global Graphics Administration does nothing basically and should be removed.

LordZen · #16 03-03-2003, 11:00 PM

oh jeez

Yes, we dont do as much for Playerworlds, PWA does that, makes sense doesnt it? I review heads/shields/swords and upload globaly. My team and I helps the administration servers by helping with projects when asked (currently g2k1, g2k2, classic). PWA doesnt do those things. It is in addition to our required responsibilities that I like them going on playerworlds and being my eyes and ears, so that I can help straighten out gfx issues. I had minor issues with DK in the past, and also spent a whole day straightening out stuff on Maloria, those are the most recent major issues that I have been able to straighten out.

zell12 · #17 03-03-2003, 11:47 PM

The server can straighten out their own problems or ask for asstance from another manager or on the forums. We dont need a team for this.

Redwizard · #18 03-04-2003, 08:33 PM

o.O
Excalibur, what do you have against the global gfx team? its not like they get much more, basically a tag and gfx rights. i mean, for one, without graphics where would we be now? no kingdoms, you know, just basic oldschool snes zelda

--Chris-- · #19 03-06-2003, 05:10 PM

Excal is right in a way though =/

Classic, GBM and GK all have gfx and gani makers. In my opinion global should either be eliminated or the gfx and gani people that currently work on the server should be made global.

That's just my two cents =p

Redwizard · #20 03-06-2003, 08:20 PM

But you know very little about the global gfx teams job. You dont know that they make the servers clean of copyrite, illegal and racist offensive graphics, The global gfx team keep a balance in the society of graal gfx, as well as making graphics for some servers. Sure, some global gfx team members may have a favourite server they like working on, but either way they still help some more servers.. Do your homework and learn more about em before jumping to conclusions, k? Doesnt give me a very good idea of who you are as a person x.x

--Chris-- · #21 03-06-2003, 08:51 PM

Redwizard...learn some english but errm...other than that....

Jumping to conclusions eh? You seem to be the one doing that and at the same time have no idea what the hell you're talking about ^_^

"But you know very little about the global gfx teams job" *COUGH*

"You dont know that they make the servers clean of copyrite, illegal and racist offensive graphics" - GBM, Classic and GK like all other servers require one of the development staff or higher to upload gfx and I don't think we would use anything that is copyrite, racicst, illegal nor offensive. As for player-worlds doing so...there is a player-world team for a reason.

"The global gfx team keep a balance in the society of graal gfx" - Are you aware that makes no sense and is a completely invalid statement?

"as well as making graphics for some servers" - Rarely and there are gfx team for GBM, GK and Classic hence why I said either eliminate the global team or make the current gfx makers on those servers global. As for PWs, like Zen said "Only thing we do related to PWA is the checking for illegal gfx, which we dont even really officially do."

"Sure, some global gfx team members may have a favourite server they like working on, but either way they still help some more servers." - I'll quote you on this one cept it'll be refering to you "But you know very little about the global gfx teams job." No need for an explanation here *gives reference to statements made above.*

"Do your homework and learn more about em before jumping to conclusions, k?" - *COUGH* ::Puts a dunce cap on your head::

"Doesnt give me a very good idea of who you are as a person x.x" - Damn straight but umm...what does that have to do with anything?

Redwizard · #22 03-06-2003, 09:03 PM

What does my grammar have to do with anything? We were discussing global gfx team on Debug RC yesterday actually, so i know more than you expect me to..

--Chris-- · #23 03-06-2003, 09:24 PM

Have you read my entire post? The english/grammar thing was just the first line and has nothing to do with it =p On that same line I said "but errm...other than that..." and made a 20+ response to your entire post =/

LordZen · #24 03-07-2003, 04:29 AM

Please, I would rather that this STICKY thread I created to clear up some more frequent questions I get, not be turned into an argument thread.

Simple fact is that Global GFX Team "is" helpful, and Graal has benefited from it. Admin servers are better off having backup help to pick up slack sometimes, and PWA to my knowledge is mostly active in checking for illegal images when reviewing the server to get uploaded? They dont even check and see if they are stealing gfx made for other playerworlds, which would technically not be copyrighted, but still should be protected. This is what happened on Maloria.

--Chris-- · #25 03-07-2003, 04:46 AM

Well make it your job "officially" to do so Zen.

Hehe...I saw a house with pokemon images in it on Maloria XD

LordZen · #26 03-07-2003, 05:04 AM

Well it should be, it once was. We had a copyright sub-division for Global GFX team. People sorta assumed that PWA suddenly assumed that responsibility because they check for such things when reviewing playerworlds. Honestly though, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I really have never been aware of them actually checking up on playerworlds later on, to see if they are still within their limits. Even so, I like to protect gfx made for specific playerworlds when possible, that is if that playerworld never gave permission to others to use them.

And uh, what pokemon images?

zell12 · #27 03-07-2003, 05:35 AM

Go do your job and find out.

Better yet, the PWA's job. It was their job for the longest time now. Global Graphics Administration is pointless and if you want to feel special and upload global heads then do that. You don't need an entire god damn team to do it.
And as for you helping out Playerworlds. They hire staff to do it and shouldn't rely on other people for graphics. They manage their own playerworld. And again, they can ask players for help if they need it.

--Chris-- · #28 03-07-2003, 07:37 PM

Bleh global gfx admin = a point. He uploads heads,swords etc for global use.

Anyways errm...as for the house on Maloria...it had Chansy's and Togepi's around a bed or something in a ph x-x
