Geno · #2 09-01-2004, 04:21 AM

well done

--Chris-- · #3 09-01-2004, 06:23 AM

Congrats to both Growlz and Calani. Never met Growlz but if he's one of Lance's recommendations I'm sure he'd do a good job

Globals weren't allowed to recommend, or am I thinking about a different thing?

I also find a scripting PWA useless since the GST are the ones that end up reviewing the server's scripts anyway...

Yeah, the Globals opinions were asked on the applicant list to see if there was anything I didn't yet know. Most people who only got a single person with a not-so-bad thing against them were still put into the run - but a few people in agreement on some issues meant that some people didn't get far.

Curt1zzle · #7 09-01-2004, 06:27 AM

Congratulations to the both of you, may you be filled with insight and knowledge during your PWA Careers. :P

TESTRETIS · #8 09-01-2004, 07:10 AM

Congrats to you two

Growlz shall add actual competence to the PWA roster. Who'd 'a thunk it?

Do you even know anyone on the pre-hiring roster?

--Chris-- · #11 09-01-2004, 07:00 PM

I don't believe scripting falls under the PWAs responsibility, it's just a perk for PWs if she wants to be helpful, no?

Yeah basically, but they can of course advise with scripting - answer various scripting questions playerworld staff may have, and it will be useful with some inspections.

Splke · #14 09-01-2004, 08:22 PM

Doesn't suprise me that Calani got it... -shrug-

Do a good job, maybe I'll have some respect then.

ZeroTrack · #15 09-01-2004, 08:32 PM

GrowlZ!!!! haha good pick, remember our late scripting nites on Sanstrata? haha good times =D

Gambet · #16 09-01-2004, 11:31 PM

I still have no clue who in the world Calani is.

Malinko · #17 09-02-2004, 12:18 AM

Calani is former Admin of Babylon, former since she is PWA now. Though, many know her as ASM. She was a N-Pulse GP at some point to? Anyways, good luck calani! You'll do great.

Oh and GrowlZ, good job buddy even though I said that before xD.

She was until she started doing stuff, got fired and then pretty much got ran off the server by people that didn't like the stuff she did and got away with.

Gambet · #19 09-02-2004, 12:28 AM

Does Calani know she's PWA? i mean...she hasnt even posted xD. Well, someone mustve informed her by now?

Malinko · #20 09-02-2004, 12:29 AM

Indeed she does, she doesn't post on the forums much I think?

She doesnt even stay in touch with us and yet she's supposed to handle all our problems? Strange indeed.

I agree with Mykel, you have to be a goody to-shoes to make it to PWA. I can already name 1 person who would have made a kickass PWA but didnt make it.

-coughs thallen coughs-

Darlene159 · #22 09-02-2004, 12:46 AM

wow, ASM??
I didnt know it was her

Inverness · #23 09-02-2004, 01:05 AM

Congrats to the new PWA

Next time you put out an application, you should make it clear that those who have done things in the past, or whatever, won't be selected, which I think is stupid. Also, if anyone should be picking PWAs, I think it should be the Playerworld Administrator and higher, not random select GSTs and such.

Gambet · #25 09-02-2004, 01:58 AM

You mean, you asked the globals what they though of the applicants?, because global opinions wernt part of the application.

What i mean is that, global recommendations and/or opinions on the applicant, wasnt part of the required/optional fields in the application.

calani · #26 09-02-2004, 02:21 AM

Yes, its me ^_^
I finally got my forum account fixed.. took me awhile to get the password reset, so I'll be posting more actively now.
Anyways, I'll do my best. =)

Welcome back Calani, good luck.

Curt1zzle · #28 09-02-2004, 02:25 AM

I personally don't think any global should have any say as to who gets hired.....at all. Nobody but Spark should....

That makes them above others, preventing people from voicing their oppinions and getting on their bad side...being afraid it will come back and bite you in the ass. Which only leads to bad things.

I asked theit opinion on peoples past record, because I can't know anything - and don't wish to hire someone who was bad. Unless it was something bad or everyone sincerly had good reasons against someone it made no difference.

Well, if the person did bad in the past and has been showing signs of improvement, do they not deserve a second chance?
So, basically, if someone made a review that blew your mind but the other globals didnt like them, they wouldnt get hired? Seems quite bias.

NOTE: This is just an example, im not referring to anyone.

They get second chances. I certainly did.

That would depend on why the global didn't like them. If they didn't like them because they went around cussing or were sexually harassing people, then that's certainly a legitimate reason. If it is because that person beat the global in a spar tournement, that is not a legitimate reason. I'm not saying those were actual accusations, those are just an example.

EDIT: Being an ungracious non-hiree doesn't look too good either. Those of you who are bashing should straighten up if you hope to become anything positive in this community.

I hope you wernt directing that to me, because i havnt been bashing or complaining.

Gambet · #34 09-02-2004, 02:33 AM

Im sure everyone who didnt make it was dissapointed, but you also have to understand that when applying for a job, you have to be ready for rejection. If other globals had a say in who got picked or not, doesnt really matter. Im sure Spark knows what he's doing and im sure GrowlZ and Calani will do a great job.

Of course, many people probably thought they did well in the application. Of course, i did also, but also, i knew that there were a lot of other applications which were probably good also. You just have to have faith in the people who were chosen.

It doesnt really matter if globals had/have/or will ever have a say in who should be picked. Why?, well, simply because if global hirings were based on that, then the new globals they hire might not do such a great job. Eventually, they could only blame themselves for basing the hirings on that, and im sure it would be changed. Either way, its all a matter of time.

Hope this made sense.

--Chris-- · #35 09-02-2004, 05:12 AM

Oh come on Dark<whatsyourface>, what you just stated seems pretty ignorant, undetailed, vague and one sided. I doubt anyone in this forum is acknowledging your attempt to slander nor is it going to significantly affect anything . Try to avoid something that can turn into a flame war and straying off topic. This type of crap is always expected and seen in these threads, why aren't they just locked from the beginning? e_e

ThinkDifferent · #36 09-02-2004, 01:49 PM

Just for the record chris Darkshadows_Legend has been playing npulse for much longer than most people and therefore knows what he is talking about.

Gambet · #37 09-02-2004, 03:44 PM

Crono, your the most negative person in the forums. You say something negative about just about EVERY thread. You're lucky you havnt even been banned from the forums yet. Spark knows what he's doing, and quite frankly, this thread shouldve been closed ever since he announced the PWA's.

I only state the truth, I dont hide it like everyone and im not afraid of mods.

I have my reasons. Just open your eyes.

I have, for 1 week and that was unjust. I'm not doing ANYTHING AGAINST THE RULES.

Most staff know what they're doing but who would you hire?

Someone with good potential (spelling?) who's not afraid to speak against the authority for good reasons?

Or some good goody who you think will do great?

Growlz I know will do great, I wont go any further as that's just complaining and stupid to do at the moment.

Nappa · #39 09-02-2004, 03:50 PM

GrowlZ = Good

Edit by Spark: Nothing useful to say? Don't even type.

And Crono is awesome, he should of got the position. I personally didn't try out because I know some of the higher up staff have personal vendettas against me, but eh. Whatever, I get to help out on PWs anyway (Sometimes acting as Lances assistant by request)

Gambet · #40 09-02-2004, 05:38 PM

Why are you guys arguing with VT?, and why does Gerami always seem to post whenever one person is arguing with another?

Like i said....this thread should be closed before it gets anymore out of hand.
