That is there for good reason , the "job" requires you to be able to manage and the best way to gauge what you know about managing is by holding an Admin job on a server. You must be able to manage your time as to your work load you have. You will be dealing with the public a lot so the PWA needs to know if you are able to interact with the players and Staff of a PW in a manner that uses wisdom, tact and respect. This is not a game but a job as Spark stated and you have to take it serious. If your past performance on Graal is not that of being serious about the job you have or had then the PWA Job will be beyond your grasp.

Only the serious minded and well balanced people need to apply otherwise you will most likely be wasting your time. Being at least an Admin on a server is nothing more than a way to gauge how you react to pressures and people of the game.Your ablitity to solve problems and deal with whatever comes along, this is why this is nessary. Without it you have no way to gauge if a person can handle the job or not. It is way much different being a player than being Staff , I have heard many tell me "I did not realize just how hard it is to manage a PW". If you have never been Staff you haven't a clue what goes on and no Staff job is simple or easy. All Staff are harressed, tempted and just plain given a hard time because others think this is funny.

It's stressfull and you don't get much from it other than an occasional pat on the back from a upper Staff Member. It test your character and your personality to be able to cope with all the abuse you get. This is why you need to be an Admin on a server to see if you measure up for the next step like the PWA.

I support dusty!! Even though he probably wont find any more and he doesnt want to give up helping other playerworlds I know he would do a great job at pwa.

Well you got all 3 so what do you say? gonna be pwa?

I wouldn't mind applying, but i'm not qualified =(. Never had an Admin position.

Hey people: Less of the name-calling, please. It's fine that you think Joe Whoever is not fit for the PWA, but Spark will most likely pick up on that himself. Any criticisms here will only lead to heated arguments.

Shaun · #69 10-04-2003, 06:08 AM

I believe I will apply but I know not of who I should ask for support. Most people I know that are able to support me are either gone or dislike/forgot me.

Since I'm new to this whole thing, I would be very appreciative to anybody who would inform me of what qualities not already listed in the initial post would be favourable to my application.

Think about it.

I was contemplating whether I should apply or not. I have come to the conclusion that this time, I will not be filling out an application. I am on a long hiatus from Graal (due to school, and other games and other things) therefore I would not have the time to do any PWA duties. Best of luck to everyone that tries out.

Dang. You'd make a pretty good one I'd recon.

Anyway, to those bashing or whining about other participants, consider this: it's not a very good show of character or confidence if you feel the need to post dissatisfaction with other applicants. This is !!!JOB!!! application. Would you say to your possibly future manager "Hi, I find the other applicants incompetent so you should pick me"? Is this how you'll treat the people you are less fond of if you get the job?
This job is alot like judging. You have to be able to leave your personal likes and dislikes behind when you inspect servers, you can't have a chip on your shoulder or else we get !!!favouratism!!!. There you have it.

Being the supports do not add much weight to the application , having a lot of "friends" in high places won't do much good. It is being based on you and you alone not who you know or who knows you. I think this is good and the fairest way to conduct these applications. My hats off to Spark for doing it in this manner.
