I see, so he's encouraging people outside the Americas to join?

Jeff · #5 11-12-2002, 07:21 AM

We want a couple people on at night so the Australians etc can easily interact in realtime with developers. Anyway, the point is, we're hiring, send us your applications.

...Uhh...what bearing does this have. You're hiring for developer etc... not Police or FAQ.

Heh, no, I don't think you want me to apply

Jeff · #7 11-12-2002, 08:17 AM

Q3 is largely to clear out applications from people who just started a month ago, etc...we'd really like for people to have a few months' experience...

Dude6252000 · #8 11-12-2002, 10:12 AM

Uhh..Jeff, you are hiring Gani Team MEMBERs and not a new gani admin, right? Because if you haven't heard, I haven't been on from severe computer troubles.

...Yeah, cause, so many people who just started last month are just such great level makers and scripters.

The only case I can think of in which such a fluke happened was Kaimetsu.

user13-xo · #10 11-12-2002, 10:43 AM

What kind of scripts are needed for the application?

Probably ones that Graal BM would find useful.

--Chris-- · #12 11-12-2002, 10:57 AM

umm.....being in a specific time zone doesn't influence what time they would be on cause they aren't necessarily to come on during the day or night or whatever time you expect them to due to a time zone.

I'm applying for both gfx and ganis XD
i just gotta finish one last sprite (a sword) and make one more gani.

Jeff · #13 11-12-2002, 11:01 AM

Rest assured, Karsh, that you ain't sacked.

Googi · #14 11-12-2002, 11:07 AM

Odam they aren't hiring a bomy admin.
Odam I have no GFX skills to be bomy admin anyways.
Odam I can't apply.

Although technically I had worked on NewWorld and been in the community for a few months before I accepted a job on 2K1.

Acererak · #18 11-12-2002, 12:59 PM

Connect and link levels?

As long as I manage Newmain, you will never hold any staff job that requires any kind of RC or otherwise.

Consider yourself blacklisted from staff proper.

hiring.

Anyways, it doesn't matter much. I was kind of stating that you won't ever hold a job. Of any kind. FAQ / Police is about as high as you'll ever go.

Saying that I won't ever get a job of any kind, when I'm already FAQ is very

.

Besides, as I said before, FAQ is as high as I really want to go, I already make things for bomys, being Bomy Admin just means that they can get uploaded faster.

You haven't really accomplished anything substantial at all.

And btw, Jeff, to your post saying "You're not getting sacked", Karsh Response: k.

Torankusu · #27 11-14-2002, 07:16 AM

haha. that's really screwed up.

Kamuii, any specific reasons?
When I quit, I planned on leaving Googi in charge.

Yeah.

On numerous times he's tried to undermine my authority with the staff, expressed great negativity about the server, does not hae the ethic to be a proper staff member...

I assume you'd be refering to my submission of the colored pearl system to Rabid instead of you? I haven't heard any complaints about the colored pearl system. Which implies that it was a good update...

This may come as a shock, but you are not "the server". Therefore expressing negativity about you does not equal expressing negativity about the server.

Yeah because I might just do something REALLY corrupt like...

Odam...must remain unmasked...must not mention the magic number...

--Chris-- · #30 11-14-2002, 09:09 AM

bah and i was hoping for faq chief =P oh well googi is the other guy i was hoping for since we are the only active faq that do our job efficiently.

Googi · #31 11-14-2002, 09:12 AM

Well, clearly, because of Kamuii's "rules" you have a pretty good chance. Of course, clearly, the favorable option is Toran not quitting *hint hint to Toran, k?*

zell12 · #32 11-14-2002, 10:10 AM

Googi, I think its time for you to retire from trying to outsmart kamuii.

Wow. He's just like me. He's perfect for the job.

Kaimetsu · #34 11-14-2002, 10:57 AM

Hmm. I wouldn't hire Googi either because he seems to be, at completely random times, extremely stupid. It might be intentional, I don't know.

Of course, but the only times I've seen it and haven't really liked it was when he kept expressing his hate for "shooter" games.

This kind of attitude to game design does not make for a good manager of a game server. We wouldn't want somebody that views game design with such a ridiculous bias.

...Who said anything about me being manager? And even if I did somehow become manager (which is clearly not possible), I would give it to Tseng anyways.

Acererak · #39 11-14-2002, 11:34 AM

Yah, Tseng would be a good manager =)

Bleh, you know what I mean. Any high staff position involves management aspects - if you were the FAQ Honcho then you would need to manage the FAQ side to the game, for example. I simply feel that you would be a poor choice for any position where your decisions have an effect on the running of the server.
