Global Development Team additions

We need actual assignments (as Twinny mentioned even small documentation tasks would be good) assigned to us by the leaders, failure to complete the assignments should result in the individual's removal from GDT.

Until then, we're the same people as before with a global guild tag doing what we feel like, which is fairly obvious.

Well said, i agree 100% with all of that, especially the leadership reference. I just hope the GDT doesn't concentrate much on lower priority things such as the Website.

The website is a high priority thing imo, if the website looks better, more people might decide to try it out, and might get hooked.

Fail. Graal is mainly a game not a website. I like the forum and the main website as it is at the moment because I don't like these "complicated" websites with dominant nick-nack. And before you try to get more players, you guys should improve the game and its playerworlds at first (less buggy and laggy; more optimized). If there were more players attracted, they will leave graal as fast as they came if these things are not fixed. Hard words I know...
This process can take a while. It just needs time and good and active management and staffs. It's not a thing you can finish in a few days or even months but years.

But you guys can get it working well if you just do and manage it right!

This kind of thing is probably best left to playerworld staff, with globals (meaning the PWA) pressuring them.

It's a Development platform, atleast that's what the admins (atleast stefan) call it, and even a Development platform or game needs a website to give clear information and interest people in the product.

Well i didn't mean the website should get neglected, but the GDT should be for in-game development, not the website. Especially when there's great possibilities the template(s) created may not even be used the slightest. Wasted effort. That's Stefan unix's job.

Stop using the leadership problems as an excuse and show some initiative . I can think of two reasons for joining the GDT: a fancy tag and false sense of authority, or actually wanting to help. If your reasoning is the latter, then it shouldn't require someone telling you what to do to make a difference.

This isn't directed towards all or anyone in particular, but it's disappointing to see that only a small few have actually attempted to do some good instead of constantly making up excuses.

If GDT members are expected to show initiative and do things themselves, then disband the GDT. There's basically no need to be all dramatic and consider them globals, set Roles and Goals ect, if that's the case. Leadership of a small group such as the GDT in a community such as our own, is necessary, and a valid excuse.

I agree. It's not hard to get started on things, you don't really need someone telling you what to do. Go around and ask people what they want, and you'll figure out what kind of things you should be doing.

Unfortunately due to time constraints such as college, managing/scripting on Zodiac, etc. Attempting to do the job of the people who started the group is at the bottom of my priorities.

If they aren't going to do anything with the group, they should just get rid of it, cause this limbo state that we're currently in sucks but maybe someday it'll get better or we'll just end up being Stefan's slaves if we're lucky.
