That is what I said.

A GDT would be like GST and GGT but also with the level division mixed up into one tag. Makes things easier too I guess.

Would it not make it harder to manage as well? I do not want some random levels guy ordering me around just because he might be higher in rank

eh but he wouldn't. Read again, spark would be the owner.

How is this any better? I have no problem working with Spark but he is not a scripter.

What I am trying to get at is that you people keep insisting that people should just go out and help playerworlds rather than having tags (which, by the way, builds up on the trustworthyness so you dont have to worry about your levels being haxed up) and yet GST and GGT are still around.

:/ why have GST and GGT if you shot down GDT when GST and GGT are the same, if not "worst" than having a global development team which cover all 3 developmental areas rather than just 2?

Are you saying we are not doing work?
And: I never liked the idea of having a tag and I almost never use it.

Why replace the finely working teams with something new that is only going to be a management nightmare? We cannot just let random people get global RC and such, even if they rock at scripting, levels or graphics, either, which this idea is implying.

I'm not saying that at all, I'm saying that you guys keep telling us that if you want to help servers out, you dont need to be global staff and just have to offer help and yet you and jagen are global scripters?

Management nightmare? I think not, someone like Spark can manage this since the PWA aren't the busiest people around..or so I think.

They dont need global RC's, probably just tags so that managers of servers know that they can TRUST the person and know that the person will not "cheat" or anything of the sort.

Fine, remove the GST if you want

It's NOT about removing any Global position. In my view, the plan is to transfer all current global developers into one "branch" called "GDT" which is development in general, be it scripting, graphics, and/or levels.

So you are helping people, and we are helping people. Works for me.

Or so you think.
Spark is not a development person anyway, as far as I know.

Can hardly cheat making levels and mailing them to a manager or so. You can just help some playerworld if you feel like it. Apply for staff jobs, I am sure that many will gladly accept you...

So you are merely suggesting to take our tags and replace it with a slightly longer one, and give RC to level makers?
