Misguided Management?

I personally feel, from the posts he has written in his past, I would judge Velox acceptable for a Player Relations position.

A few reasons:
- He has been intellectually fit enough to help people with scripting
- His ability to communicate is superb
- He seems mature
- He is responsible enough to put a disclaimer of anything that may be considered offensive at the top of his post, protecting him from the wrath of the "GO Administration Team".
- He appears to care about Graal, and gives constructive criticism.
- He seems to know enough to assist others with their problems.
- He says he has been around for a long time, so if this is true, then he has a knowledge of historical events.

Yes, it's not always intended as a grab for power, but it really doesn't help the case either. Regardless, it doesn't matter who's fit for the position, but if the position even needs to exist in the first place.

Hrm -- I didn't think I helped you with scripting, have I? Although I do appreciate you taking my defense.

To respond with Qwerty616's arguement about the lack of need: I do see a need to centralize the attention of the players towards a particular head icon. This would diminish the amount of work GO Administration Team has by having all their work, if the problem isn't fixed through the first step with the Player Relation, sorted according to their division.

Example: Many people PM Stefan about problems they have in the game. If we remove the majority of these PM, then Stefan would, by consequence, have less to reply towards. This would lower the amount he has, allowing him to work on more important updates instead of worrying about serveral complaints customers send him. If there is a more important business, and the player in question should have contact the player relation and they contact an appropiate member of the GO Administration Team.

I honestly think this will speed up matters in the Graal Community, as well as increasing the productivity rate. If there wasn't any obvious problem to begin with, I wouldn't've thought about a solution to help.

As I quote: "The simple fact that the question 'Does size really matter?' exists, deducts that it actually does, for if the problem wouldn't exist, the question wouldn't as well."

Again, is this not something that could be solved by making the contact list of existing 'GOAT' members more evident and concise or the members themselves easier to contact? A team of players dedicated to passing on a complaint seems needless.

There can also be many answers to a question. This may not particularly be the best one.

This team would need to be mature A D U L T S and have to sign a contract and all that other crap so they can be trusted with the administration tools. Stefan and Unixmad can't be doing all the work when they other things to do. So GO needs a team of adults to do the work, instead of getting a team of immature idiots that are power hungry.

What administration power would they recieve? Velox's original plan doesn't seem to mention any powers other than the ability to contact other members.

It doesn't say anything about them being people to redirect the problems to stefan either.

IN MY OPINION I think that if this team was created, they need to be adults, able to sign a contract and have the power to fix the problems players have.
