Rehire me and Pat. Events haven't been fun since our daily "20 events-a-day extravaganzas".

Feel free to replace Events with any organization we've been part of, they all could benefit.

If anyone is interested in being an EM, please do speak up. If you are seriously interested, Forum PM me or Contact me in-game. It's obvious we need more EM's, and it would be great to see players interested in seriously taking up a position(s) as EM.

We (Pat and myself) mention it to Maroku every day he's on (about twice a month) that we're more than willing to host for him again, all he needs to do is supply the tags and a small amount of prizes, half the time we used our own items. He refuses every time. It's clear that he thinks he has things under control.

I normally don't agree with you but your right on this. He does think he has it under control OR he has no time right now OR he doesn't want to rehire you two.

I do not want to be an Events Master again. I've had enough solid tenures. However, I do support the fact that PoJo would probably play a lot more than he already does if he had a tag and the ability to host. Me and PoJo used to give out our own items because the refills stopped us from hosting as much as we wanted.

We've been aware of this problem. I think Maroku is going to seek out more EM help.

kia345 · #8 02-07-2009, 04:45 AM

Maroku is part of the problem. He never hosts, and when he does, it's the same poorly planned/written out event.

These things are not as black and white as people like to make them. You can point the finger, it's easy. Understanding is a little harder.

Maroku has historically been active and dedicated - for a few years now. He's been able to adjust to changes and follow new protocols we've specified to help prevent any sort of nonconformances.

If it was found that any specific individual within our team was responsible for a problem, regardless of considerations and responsibilities, it's always difficult to replace a trained, experienced staff member. This is especially true with volunteers. Understanding is the key here and it needs to be applied.

Googi · #11 02-07-2009, 07:53 AM

It would be good if kingdoms could step in to fill the event void. The problem is that it's difficult for any single kingdom to get enough players on to have a decent event. Maybe there could be something like an agreement between all the kingdoms where each kingdom puts up an equal amount of money (or prizes of equivalent value) to host events that members of any kingdom (but only people who are members of a kingdom) would be allowed to participate in.

xXziroXx · #12 02-07-2009, 02:12 PM

So how come there hasn't been any input at all in this thread for 30 days by the Events Admin himself? One would think this thread is very much his turf.

MajinDragon · #13 02-07-2009, 10:06 PM

There kind of doesn't need to be more events... The player count is so low all it'll do is flood more EC's than needed into the economy.

I think enough EC's are handed out daily, and whoever spoke of a 20-ec-a-day extravaganza, stfu.

Maroku's quest has been a breath of fresh air, sure, i miss the old events but it's not even been a week since i last played one, you're acting as if it's a year down the line and Maroku's been only hosting these quests...

I actually miss hosting to be honest. I've been playing with ideas to pass onto maroku just to try out.

Our awesome event marathons had only a few ECs, it was mostly things like RoTs and Ice Shields and FIDs that Pat and myself had of our own, Maroku couldn't supply prizes. u stfu, it was something to do that everyone could be involved in.

The playercount was 30-40 during me and Pat's time. I'm not saying it was because of us there was a high playercount (probably was though, just saying), but because of the almost constant events and things to do, people were more likely to log on spread around the EC and other prizes.

These mediocre "quests" that are the same every few weeks are the only ones that get hosted. Zelt is rarely on, but that shouldn't be a problem, we have more EMs. Maroku is inactive. Ok, not good, but we have more EMs, right? No, we don't. No one is active, and when they are, it's maybe 2 events a week and then "big" event once every few weeks, and the "big" event is just the same as the last one. Our EMs suck, our Event Admin sucks.

We surprisingly have Raz online hosting now, but this is most likely just a fad and will not happen again for several days. I called it.

You can preach it exists but there is no event problem. Events are hosted every day, EC's are handed out every day. The big events are **** but thats about it.

It appears your own playtime conflicts with the EM's playtime, we are getting events.

Lack of events is something of a unique problem in that you can often actually go quite a ways towards solving it simply by posting a thread about it.

cyan3 · #21 02-08-2009, 11:44 PM

I can spare an event coin or 2 so I'll probably host an unofficial event next week.

It's been done in the past but most players didn't attend to them.

Nature2 · #24 02-09-2009, 05:40 PM

from kia345: Maroku is inactive. Ok, not good

I am NOT inacitve, or better lets ask what is inactivity for you.

I am Events Admin so i have much more to do then only hosting.
And i also do things that i dont have to do for GK but i do them to get things done got gk.

Oh yes, i have a REAL LIFE thats more importand then a game.

But i still offer 6 Hours for you to host Holy Knight (for example)

And well if i host its harder then normal, and i never host events again and again, i always use my rights/creativity to try making a nice entertainment.

Until very recently, you haven't been on often.

Then hire some active people.

If your real life is so important to you, why are you doing things for GK that you

Let me interrupt while Maroku pulls his foot out of his mouth. Maroku has not been as active as he usually is - however he has his own personal reason. Events have suffered on GK as a result of his absence, which only goes to show how much of an asset he is.

After his recent attention I'm sure he'll make an extra effort to put some more time in - but as I've already explained we shouldn't scold him or any other staff member we have a problem with. He's a volunteer and clearly an asset.

I'm also sure he has good reasons not to rehire you, PoJo. If you feel his reasons are unfair you can contact me or Tigairius... we'll take both sides of the story and make a decision.
