Graal Ghetto's Back!

When you realize people are ready to pay you for your work, you won't consider Graal that much of a good place to work. Even though I still have ongoing graal projects, I have WAY better projects (non-graal ones) with people I met on here.

Yeah, kind of. I also mean that some projects have quite a lot of potential, which is why they are being made apart from Graal

You obviously have no idea of what I am working on.

You can make a bit of $$$ making sprites for iPhone game developers.

I'd rather make my own iPhone game

You don't even know what it is for real, so you can't say it will fail.
Hint: it's not a game.

No developer should just be given the job. I don't care who you are.

If it's someone notably capable of producing high tier work offering to help a server notably incapable of not being awful as it is in this case (I assume you were referring to Aeko), then an application and "commitment" isn't really a big deal here, since it seems more like charity than anything.

Granted I suppose but that's where I would differ if I was running a server. I don't care much for people showing up and doing a charity graphic or level or something and then disappearing. I'd much rather have one mediocre designer that's comitted to the project than one all-star that shows up for one day. Just a difference of opinion really.

Somewhat ignorant to even say that. Having someone pro stop by and make an epic piece for your server isn't even comparable of having an alright LAT. They're not in the same bracket, normally you wouldn't have to choose one or the other...

Please don't throw around words like ignorant when obviously you're missing the whole point. It's insulting, whether you meant it to be or not.

All I was saying was that in the theoretical situation where you only had the option of hiring people that are decent but comitted, or hiring pros that are just going to one-off something, I'd take the decent but comitted, cause maybe they'll get better with practice.

This conversation was never meant to be taken and applied literally. Obviously you're never going to have to make the distinction. I was merely expressing how the importance of job applications extends far beyond testing skill, depending on who you're applying to.

[Supaman771]

He (and anyone else) can say/assume something will fail based on previous examples and the people involved.
Last I checked you can 'say' anything with virtually no evidence and make it a serious claim.

Case being, I too believe it has a good chance of failure... the same as you guys all saying GG will fail again. (It probably will)

Should focus on the bolded.

You know I wonder how old you are by ignoring all the other posts in this thread that basically call the server you are hiring for, ****ty.
