Your first impression of me? Why Inverness, you knew me four years ago, and you had no qualms about sucking up to me when I was on the Global Scripting Team. Why don't you remind everyone of that? Let me guess, you don't remember ^_^

Why, how is consistency in code a simple concept to understand? Perhaps to us scripters, but not to anyone else.

I'm not only focused on what I want, although obviously it's something I am focused on.

On code consistency, I believe in the consistency in all scripting languages, and of all scripting languages. Making Graal more compatible will make more scripters want to develop and play Graal. You don't seem to understand that closing off the scripting language will just make it an elitist niche, allowing only the bravest to come and try it out.

My thread, merely threatens change, and you're unwilling to accept that there are other ways to do things. Refer to that thread if you want to see more of my idea, if not, stop talking about it.

Does this thread matter? I suppose probably not in the end; I tend to find that becoming global has always been about who you are friends with, and who you know, and the second you choose not to be friends with someone at the top, is the second you are thrown out.

Although I see that the two people objecting to my becoming a PWA are Scripters, and both people who may feel threatened by my return. Why? I don't know. I'm not trying to threaten anyone, and I'm not even trying to become GST again, although I have already proved to myself how able I am at scripting, even though I was scared I would not be able to master it again what with GScript2 being completely new to me, and yet I have managed to create some very good scripts in a very short time.

I honestly believe Tig has more of a shot at being a PWA than I am, even with his past, so coming onto this thread and trying to act the tough guy you know you aren't and trying to hurt my feelings? Impossible.

I have a lot of patience, and this was definitely not so four or so years ago, a lot has changed. I have changed. I'm not going to be so forthrightly attacked by you, or by Ziro.

If either of you two have a problem, my AIM is [email protected] and it's also my email. If you're not brave enough to IM me, then hit me up an email. You obviously have something against me.

If you don't, and you truly believe I am incapable of understanding a simple concept such as you suggest, then have fun in your imaginary world. It's great, it revolves around you, and you can take what people say, and completely ignore it. I find that if people don't like what I'm saying, that's what they do, so please continue, because good lord, I would never try and stop someone from living their life, the way they choose.

I have focus, and I have drive, and I am at least willing to help, and often go out of my way to do so, so tell me, am I not fit to do the duties of the PWA?

Tell me why.

Why would I feel threatened by you, or anyone else, when all I do is work on my own playerworld with no other desire (besides joining the PWA team)? I was merely posting my opinion about you, which is why the hirings are made public, not bashing you.

Then fair enough

I was wondering why you were so familiar. But I certainly don't remember the sucking up part, so I'm going to assume you're flattering yourself.

Stop assuming things, of course there are other ways to do things, but Graal already has its own way that people are familiar with and that doesn't need to change just because you want it to. If GraalScript is to change it should be done full-scale not with small things one at a time.

I would welcome change in the form of GS3 which would eliminate compatibilities with older scripts and be fully object-oriented (no global functions/vars). It should be just like C#.

I wouldn't want to be a global, because then I couldn't be a lazy person and I'd actually have to do what someone tells me to.

No, not threatened at all.

Anyhow, I take back what I said before. You have experience being on the global staff team so I think you'd make an OK addition to the PWA. As long as you stay away from Valikorlia's NPC-Server that is.

I have heard of the horrors contained within Valikorlia's NPC Server but had assumed they were merely myths!

That was from before I got there.

I was once asked to fix a script on some random UC server.

They had trouble figuring out why this wouldn't work:

PHP Code:

if (weapon is fired){
shoot( bullets at players));
} 


Was Valikorlia anything like that? Or not quite that bad?

Valikorlia actually worked, but so can a 2000 character script thats all on one line.

Basically all the scripts on Val were horribly formatted and took time and effort to understand. There were also many scripts in levels and such that only worked because GScript overlooked many errors and made allowances that should not have been allowed.

That all changed when we released New Valikorlia which isn't finished btw.
