It's not like many of them would be getting fired, people like Felix, John, Drakeero, me, etc etc, we're pretty perfect. How many of us really aren't qualified to do one more thing? It's not we (EMs) don't get asked questions too. I'd say you have a pretty perfect line up of staff members as it is. It's just not being used effectively. Hell, we all already have that useless GK Staff tag, why not use it?

That same problem would happen now if the only person on tag was an EM, so that's hardly an argument.

I agree with Stephen, It would be very hard for a staff member to be 3 position on the server and not everybody has the skill required for every position.

It's always nice to spread around power too, I don't want someone to be too powerful unless they really earn it. I can't say I support giving full GP, EM, FAQ, etc power to all of our staff because it increases the chance of corruption and is harder to manage.

Right now each team has a manager, and each team is nice and organized.

[Galdor]

Yea have (GM)'s just like they have in most online games that deals with everything other then development stuffs.

I think FAQ and GP should have been merged into 1 thing, if anything. Only because FAQ doesn't do anything other then answer questions. I can't even help any, just offer them advice basically. x.x.. Any staff can pretty much do that. ;0

Actually, it's very important that the FAQ is very personable and friendly, where as GPs and EMs don't have to require that trait as much. The FAQ team is a friendly face for our players, if you have a question, a FAQ should respond in a friendly manner and be willing to show them and have a lot of patience. It requires a very special personality to be a good FAQ member because it requires patience, understanding and knowledge.

When hiring any FAQs I always try to examine their psyche before making any final decisions to ensure they will do well as a FAQ and treat the players respectfully as I'm sure Felix and John do as well.

Right now FAQs are even more important because the playercount is much bigger than before and you get a lot more questions.

Lol, I guess that's why you asked me to be FAQ. :P

You got me to quit FAQ and move to EM, that saying something about me?

What exactly is the job/purpose of the GPs? Basically, what will they do?

Well, as outlined in GK's private GP forum,

Your duties as a Graal Kingdoms Police officer include the following things:

• Punish people for breaking our rules (stickied in the main forum).
• Keep our community safe and clean.
• Show players good behavior by example.
• Watch for hackers, cheaters, scammers and glitchers.
• Do not show favoritism to your friends, foes, kingdom allies, kingdom enemies, etc.
• You must act as a judge and make a reasonable, fair decision based on each circumstance.

GK's GP team's jurisdiction also falls under requesting bans on players. For example, if a GP sees that it would be fit to ban someone, they may make a request and I will ban the person for the reason that they specified. The GP Captain will have ban rights, and will be able to take over this post once they're hired.

having a police tag is great. jailing people for "scamming" and "hacking" when they act a fool is all great fun.

Banning rights should not be used lightly.

[CABAL49]

Wasn't John already an EM, FAQ, and kinda a GP before this?
