Thoughts on GCs?

[BlackSolider]

Hard to make an event enjoyable when half the people don't try very hard, for a variety of reasons.

But w/e, believe what you want.

Just try to get this thread back on track.

it's plenty on track you idiot, if I have to spell it out for you, the point that several people are trying to make is they don't like the GCs and feel their ineptitude is the reason why events weren't enjoyable.

So is night planning on coming back as the GC admin or is he going to be replaced by a senior member of the GC team?

That's an intrinsic award. Most people desire extrinsic rewards. The overall graal playerbase is lower in count, so competition is lower. Not many people care about beating others these days since it's pretty meaningless to brag to an abysmal playercount. (If you don't believe me, feel free to study the theory of motivation.) However, for events such as CTF, it really isn't the case. The only times where I see people that just want to win events for bragging rights are the major spar tournies such as single belts or the monthly (although they provide an extrinsic reward themselves as well).

Night quit and I believe either Gladius or Clel (maybe both)would take his spot when the time comes that a GC admin is needed. I don't see Clel on graal much these days though.

Also Gladius, what we are talking about is very much on topic with GC improvement.

How so? Not dissing Night or anything, but GC sort of fell apart when he became less and less active. He was a great admin while he was active though.

Whoever has to fill in for what direction GC goes into, has a very big legacy to build off and follow in the footprints of, so to speak.

Night has been the face of GC for several years. He has the longest tenure of an administration position on Classic out of everyone that has ever been an admin. He has been offered multiple high level global jobs(Bell can approve of that), but he turned them all down, he wanted to be on Classic running GC. He devoted a lot into what it is today, always ejoyed it, besides up until recently. He was honest, and uncorrupted as they come. Never abused, and probably one of the best admins of all time.

Big shoes to fill.
That's a lot of pressure for Night's successor.

Good Luck Glad,
Just pretend you're Rodgers trying to replace Favre.
