Sorry to do this to you, folks, but it appears I have an impostor. An evil doppelganger, if you will. Claiming to be "GrowlZ", this individual uses my reputation and stolen copies of my scripts to acquire playerworld jobs and subsequently destroy the world in question. This impostor has certainly used the account "Rm30k" to destroy one world. Whether this is a stolen account or not, I cannot tell. Regardless, heed this warning:
I am no longer participating in active Graal development, so do NOT HIRE ME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
People who are posing as me may attempt to show you one or more of the following scripts. If you see any of these on any world, I would request that you contact me (emails to growlz at myrealbox dot com, please, or contact me via forum or Graal PM) with any details you have about the script, its alleged creator, or the world in question. These were removed from the Rudora playerworld without my consent and their very appearance should be viewed as an indicator of untrustworthiness.
GrowlZ/Flyer A script which draws a spaceship with variable altitude, variable speeds, a simple heads-up display with multicoloured text, and various modes of attack: orange lasers and pulsating blue spherical projectiles.
-GrowlZ-System A system script which handles message alerts, gani modification, and various serverside staff tools. Notable for the fact that its speech-based commands are prefixed with backslashes (\) and that it contains an "\alt" command which will attempt to play the sound effect "growlz_attention.wav" on a remote client: this sound effect is a rather loud diminished seventh chord designed to attract the attention of players who are idling.
GrowlZ Drone GrowlZ Drones are disposable NPCs which have a wide command list and can carry out many functions: shop systems, warpers, door blockers, etc. They contain a scripting language which I call "GrowlZScript" (original, eh?) which can be used to assign Drones actions or chains of actions on a wide and varied list of events.
GrowlZ/Drone Control A remote control system for the GrowlZ Drones, this can be used to return drone database IDs, send Drones you have created commands, locate and warp to any drone, list all active drones, or create instances of the "GrowlZ Drone Control" class which allows users to control drone placement in an area.
Any staff member of any world who uploads any of these, or any other scripts which brand themselves "GrowlZ" in either their name or their commenting, should be fired instantly. No doubt some of the greedier playerworlds will not heed this warning. I would like to remind them that these scripts were not acquired legitimately and that their worlds may be placed in undue danger by the continued employment of such developers.
The real me is clearly identifiable by these details:
- Static IP of 80.177.222.207 (hostname "snapdragon.demon.co.uk")
- Account of GrowlZ1010
- Insane attention to spelling and grammar
I apologize for this thread, but I feel I need to address these issues, as it is damaging the reputation which I have built up over the past few years of development, and accusations of malicious damage by individuals "in-game" are negatively impacting my enjoyment of Graal. Thank you for your time.

Do not hire ME for your playerworld.
