The whole nepotism accusation is pretty much as easy to make as calling everybody *****ing in this thread whining freeloaders who cannot be bothered to actually contribute to Graal in any significant way and instead pine for the presumably easy glory of a global staff position.

i don't see where you get to go making rash generalizations about everyone who has applied to be PWA thus far. i agree that it's better to know someone and hire them since you'll know how they will perform on the job better than someone you are only in acquaintance with - but that doesn't make them all unreliable, or right for the job

i don't know xor at all, so i can't support any type of favoritism in the hiring procedure, but the fact remains that the PWA clearly knew who he was when i, and many others, did not. it means they have to had been spending the time getting to know him through graal-a more preferable way in their opinion-but then why didn't they take the time to get to know all the other applicants or potential members on graal too?
