Enough with this "Co Owner" business

"Ryan W and LiquidIce are co-owners of that stripping club"

and

"Ryan W and LiquidIce are owners of that stripping club"

or

"Ryan W is co-owner of that stripping club."

but not

"Ryan W is owner of that stripping club. LiquidIce is co-owner." this would seem as if you're trying to imply that LiquidIce is nothing compared to Ryan W, because saying one of the first two things should mean the same thing.

A co-owner is just a friend of the guy who founded the playerworld

[Dolimah]

Co-Owners may be needed if the Owner doesn't have time or dont want to do anything for the Playerworld.

I have been Co Owner of Dino Valley for quite a while
With more rights then the Owner.
(We agreed that he should not hire staff cause he never was online)

I asked for FTP password changes and RC changes
For that I needed the "rank" Owner..

But perhaps you are right..
In the long run it would have been better if Aramech was just called Founder and me Owner instead of him (because he didn't do anything for Dino Valley and didn't care about DIno Valley anyway)

I can think of somebody over 20 who uses the term Co Owner in place of Assistant Owner,

This wouldn't happen to be a certain Owner of a certain playerworld named Sanstrata now would it? =P

I look at these forums to learn about what's going on in graal and have fun replying to messages. Not to learn a lesson in grammar, stop making my head hurt =P

I think the phrase Co Owner will stick. Just like the phrase 'Hacking' has stuck as the definition of some idiot using a program to give himself a few rupees in graal. It's been called that long enough that it will just be to hard to track down everyone saying it and convince them to change it.

I do agree that it should be Assitant owner though =P

But being in Graal so long everyone's minds have been warped. What you said is true, dont let graal go to your head. The phrase Co- Means what you said, graalians just use it in a different way.

No comment.


Yay, other people understand this too, what I am saying, but I want it to be forced down everybody's throat so hard that proper stuff sticks, then, after that, I'll take care of the whole "hacker" stuff.

thats why on my servers i have managers and not co-owners.

i think of it moer like a buisness.

im like the 'president' running the company, and they 'run' the smaller divisions of the 'company'

lightening the work load for everyone.

of course only 1 manager per server

Yeah, on Dolphonia, I, the owner am highest, the second highest is Game Master, I don't dare mess with those who follow the religion of anti-logic

Shaun wins

That is why, when I was constantly being flooded with PMs and messages asking if I would hire so-and-so as co-owner I said no because I and only I have been working on my PW since day 1...no one else. I'm not going to give a high-power spot to someone that has done absolutely nothing for me ever. That is also why I probably have so little staff because I tend to want higher quality than what is being produced at this point.

Hmm...it does get rather annoying to see people changing words so much....it's kind of like when people on Graal say stupid things like "your ***" or "f u ***et"...You can try to tell them they're mistaken, but they will only say "f u, fing ***et i noe how 2 spl but im juz 2 lazy 2 typ out fll wrdz bsdz it lookz *** wen u typ out a hole wrd or prfctly" And people on Graal will always use the word "n00b" or "newbie" even for people who have been playing for a long time, but don't wish to fight (and then they'll run after getting dropped to .5 hearts by the person they called "n00b").....

Umnn....Shaun or whatever his dumb name is, You are totally wrong about everything! Your one of those players that masses about how a server sux and telling the staff how bad it is all day long instead of actually going on a different server to actually enjoy something. And the Co-owner thing. The co-owner is there when the Owner needs help with something or what have you. Co-owner acts like a partner at some times but other times does different things...(USA)owner=President,co-owner=Vice President(USA)...Take a look at the comparison and realize what you are saying

Yeah, Mr. Anti Logic, I'm wrong about everything, in that sentence you violated grammar quite a few times. Please, it is obvious English isn't your first language, speak in your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd language instead of pretendo-English, it would be easier to decypher.

Excuse me, but I was bored, and Delteria was just a big target, haven't seen the new one yet. And about all those other times, it's because it's truly how pathetic how they think crap is talent, sigh, there's nothing to really enjoy, so I complain, once again, it's logic at work.

Hello you American. I am Canadian, but go ahead, assume everybody uses the same Government as you, just that if you know your history you would know that America used that just to be different, but anyways... Co Owner, I know how it is used, but it is used incorrectly, you must have read the title and automatically posted, either that or you must have some blunt object sticking out of your head. If the latter, pick up your phone, call 911, not 912, but 911.
