You underestimate Moondeath. He really is quite the great scripter. I know better, but he is definately great.

It's not you recognizing Moondeath's scripting skills that counts, it's that of the actual managers/staffers of GraalOnline.

Well, being a global is pretty boring actually. I got hired by James to be an Account Manager and then he quit a month or so later and made me Account Admin.

It was seriously the most boring AND EASY JOB EVER. All you have to do is check the email, which isn't all that bad, and go on the servers and see where you can help. I never ever got overworked doing it, so I never understood why all the previous Account Admin's talked about how 'hard' it was. I basically did it by myself completely as Angelos, my only Account Manager, disappeared.

I also remember a funny situation where someone told Unixmad that I was unbanning accounts that had used fraudulent credit cards to upgrade and he took away my powers without even verifying any of it. James had to go on every server and get the logs, which proved I had never done it.

It's really not all that great, the only cool thing I ever really got was getting to work on Graal2002 (Kingdoms) way before it was released. However, that was due to me being a Level Maker on 2001.

EDIT: Also, I will pipe in that I hated going on N-Pulse because MoonGod/Goddess were weirdo's about globals. I signed on to ensure that an account that had been pretending to be me hadn't signed on and tried to trick anybody and they tried to ban my account, which of course didn't work. Every single time I went on there they made sure it was a pain.

Believe me, I know exactly how amazing Moondeath is.

I hired him on my server awhile ago. He made this really awesomeâ€* script that shot idle ganis at an NPC that had an actionprojectile call that made the NPC say something.

That was the only thing he made on my server, so I fired him because he never did any work that was actually related to the server. He begged for his job back and promised he'd do work, I rehired him. He did no work for about a month or two, so I fired him again. A month later he realised and PMed me and asked why he was fired.

â€* this is sarcasm, for those who do not realise it.

A person being considered for a global should not be based on scripting skills anyway. I don't know why this is even being harped on.
But, what you mentioned about activity as far as the job goes, should be in my opinion, as well as a persons actions on playerworlds that he/she has worked on or played/plays on.

What does laziness have to do with skill? Absolutely nothing.
Some of the stuff he's done on Kudosai is quite amazing, I think. Nothing others couldn't do I'm sure, including yourself, but better than alot of people could do.

I don't belive I asked for him to post that... he did it out of free will this whole thread makes me want to be a global lesser by the moment.

Angel_Light · #10 04-30-2006, 04:23 PM

ah, c'mon. You don't wanna quit Graal. =D *Hums a Sad tune* "When life has you down.... And you can do nothing but frown... "Now hums a Happy Tune* I Look at my Enormouse *CENSOR*

XD I love Da Vinci's Notebook!

coreys · #11 04-30-2006, 04:26 PM

what the ****

wow, I have NOTHING to say to that.

And, pishhaaa, moon, you'd never give up on Kudosai

If you did I would kill you...with a hammer...in the observatory.

KuJi · #12 04-30-2006, 06:46 PM

Steps:
Step 1 - Forum PM Stefan and Unixmad saying Hi --> DAILY <--
Step 2 - Totally disregard EVERYTHING players say.
Step 3 - Suck up to the current globals.
Graal Kingdoms Example:
- Ibonic logs on, you now have a slave

. You made your first global friend.
- Lyndzey logs on, make her fix any problems you can think of with your account. You made your second global friend.
- Malinko logs on, hand him Dual RoW's. You made your third global friend.
- Skyld logs on, make half a script, then make one error, forum pm him and ask for help. He will finish your script.

You made your fourth global friend.
- Spark logs on, this will never happen.. haven't seen him on.. in a year or so.You made your fifth global friend.
Step 4 - PM Bomber (

) / Unix and tell them you have became friends with the current globals.

And soon a lot of globals quit, I don't even know whose really global.. anymore.. so my list ends. Is houdini still a global ;o?

I doubt Skyld or anyone would ever finish your script. Sorry.

I beleive that was his whole point. It's called irony.

Sam · #17 04-30-2006, 09:21 PM

Step 5 - Let KuJi ban from the forums for babbling crap and you made hundred of friends including staff.

Step 6 - Unban KuJi from Graal Kingdoms, or reduce the time from 30 to like 10 or so. I was planning a Birthday party for myself @ Misty Pub

Was paying like 5k to do it ;D ( i ish poor mon )

I would suggest he not give it back either!

Drop it seriously just drop it all together you and Darlene and Skyld keep babbling on about me even bringing it up i've clearly said I do not wish to be a global anymore and of course I SAID THAT DIRECTLY AS A STATEMENT in the post "If i where a global i would have stefan reset my admin level because i cannot control my emotions" gives off the whole thing your post was very wasteful.

I've pretty much given up on kudosai anyway as soon as I fix the admin accounts password again i'm gonna shut it down.

Take it simply with humor. Do you really think everything we posting here is meant seriously?

Global (n) - A floormat, normally with some sort of anti-slip protection, mounted on a pedestal.

I've been lazy and busy with things in real life to be scripting things for graal lately and people do underestimate my scripting abilities and the problem of me being lazy lately. And plus I think me positioning in Playerworld administrator would be better right now since the Pwa count is dropping quickly there is about (3) remaining I belive (1 idler, 1 inactive, 1 quitting) and the Z quit (GrowlZ) and Malinko has been fired I have reason to belive so he told me he quit but yeah.

KuJi · #28 05-03-2006, 07:14 AM

Today, moondeath told me hes better then every scripter in graal, except Yen + GST.

Amazing, then I said Napo was better then him. He said HAHAHAHAHA no way, then said setnick Moondeath (#gscript)

and I said: Nice fake 'scripting' tag, and he is like it's real!

I am like.. yeah.. real.. a player-made guild of the irc channel name..plz

Read my whole post before you reply, please. I gave an example of his 'skill' aswell. The laziness jab was just thrown in there because Global staff should not be lazy (although, most of them are.)

Of course, the credentials for the Global Scripting Team should not rely on whether or not they can script. It should rely on how well they can knit scarves, and cook pancakes.

Even with the PWA team, they should have some kind of Developmental background, so that they can actually understand what they are evaluating.

A #gscript tag does not imply that you are a good scripter. It represents that you are an active member of the #gscript community. I think the sole reason Moondeath started talking in #gscript was to get the tag and 'show it off' to people on Graal. Pretty sad.

You people don't know him well. He really can script well. Look at his server kudosai. Like I said before, its nothing other people, like you okie, couldn't script, but its good. Of course, much much better than I could do.

That is exactly the point I was making. If you are not up to his level, you can look at his scripts and be like "ZOMG WOW" but he could be doing it in a completely inefficient way, and you wouldn't even know, and still praise him.

Well, what I said just went right out the window and was not understood, but whatever, I don't care.
I have no idea why you replied the way you did.
I simply meant that just because someone is a good scripter does not make them qualified to be a global.
I think I speak a different language then most of you

You must, because you obviously do not read replys before submitting your own. You said that scripting doesn't matter for a global position. You did not specify WHICH position you were talking about, so I added that for a Global Scripting Team position, it does matter.

It's quite annoying to have to explain the whole damn conversation, especially to someone who is supposed to be a Forum Admin. God help us.

*Sigh*
I forgot since I am forum admin, I am not suppose to make a mistake, sorry.
I didn't see the scripting part for some reason.
It has been a long day, and I am tired.

Anyway, yes you are right. Obviously a global scripter would have to know scripting.
I guess I should be more specific.....

Keep in mind, I am a forum admin, not God.

I heard you have to sing the Lamb Chops play along theme song for 3 days straight then spin around in a circle for 30 minuites straight then drink a gallon of water right away... Or is that what its like to be a global? I forget.
