If I'm leaving my kingdom in someone else's hands, I'm sure going to make sure he knows and has rights to do so. You didn't even bother to do so.

Don't throw the IRL things out there, it's such an easy way out... you had time to spend on Zodiac, you atleast had time to stop by and see what was going on with your kingdom.

You pick your developers. If you were logging on frequently you would be checking up on them and shouldn't have the problem of someone being inactive.

I had talked with Raelyn about adding him as regent quite a bit, so when I added him I didn't think anything of it. After a few days, I hadn't seen him around, and he stopped logging on Zodiac. Figuring he was logging on GK and keeping the kingdom active, I went back to work and didn't give it another moments thought. Eventually I found out that he didn't know he was regent, so I immediately contacted him on AIM and told him; he promptly logged on and started rebuilding the kingdom. There was a miscommunication there, but that's been resolved for awhile now.

Just a couple, of immediate ones. If Raelyn and I are going to be doing all this, we'd like to be able to start working on it.

Last I heard Raelyn still doesn't have rights.
Two ministries are still missing.

(by the way, my mothers dying of cancer, and I spent most the days going to class and taking care of her, and coming in on the evenings. I'm only on so darn much this week because family is visiting and taking care of her. When they leave, it'll be back to the evenings.)

Drakeero · #4 10-11-2006, 08:51 PM

Relax Uri. Some of us may have to wait a little longer until Calani decides to resign whenever that is in the future, but Googi is just venting now that he knows his lord and master Bosh is probably never going to become emperor of Zormite for the remainder of this incarnation of Graal online.

Which, given Stefan's update rate.... is going to be a looong time.

She will retain if she is an active leader and able to reactivate Zormite, as I've stated by starting this thread.

I'm going to back down from this personally, seeing as you are willing to join Zormite...

Are you opposed to my goal or not? Because it has not changed.

If I had my way Googi, you'd be indefinately blacklisted from Zormite just for trying to use Zormite as a tool for your little grudges.

I'm not talking about getting one from you and Calani. There are people besides me and Bosh who want Zormite's leadership, and they include people a lot friendlier with the staff.

Of course, I'm still disappointed to see that making equipment for you guys is worth so little.

jonnyrocks2 · #10 10-11-2006, 09:50 PM

I'd just love to see this topic locked, as it has long since out growned its use to be honest.

We shall see. Calani has not yet done anything to make Zormite more active, AFAIK.

I've heard this is her second time going AWOL on Zormite and coming back after being threatened. That alone should be enough to impeach her.

Removed the lengthy off-topic string of posts, and the part of my post that started the tangent.

Calani, please take my advice and start with a simplified version of the rank structure.

Empress
-Regent

--Ministry of Defense--
---Soldier

--Ministry of Religion--
---Priest

--Ministry of Intelligence--
---Spy

--Ministry of the Arcane--
---Mage

---Civilians---
----Commoner (For inactive dump purposes.)

And as we grow in number, we can promote people to leaders and add leader ranks in the various Ministries.

Seriously, we don't have enough active members at the moment, and having such a sprawling rank structure is over-complicating a simple Kingdom feature.

Also, if you don't have time to redo it, grant me the right and I will rebuild it for you. I assure you, the ministries will be intact, and they will blossom out as we get more members. -.-

Drakeero · #14 10-12-2006, 12:47 AM

Anyone see Calani while I was out eating this evening?

calani · #15 10-12-2006, 12:50 AM

As opposed to listing it here, I'd prefer if you pm'd me in game or used a forum-pm.
Referring to your rank list, yes, I already said I was going to trim the ranks list down and add in the priest branch, which will likely be in place later tonight.

And yes, I've been on for most of today.

I just finished the priest rank list and re-arranged them a bit to look nicer, plus removed a few unused ones. Though Raelyn/Drakeero: even before I removed the unusued ranks, my 'sprawling rank structure' had two less ranks (35) than Samurai's 37, which is the next larger (and still considerably smaller than the rest of the kingdoms').

My internet went down for most of today, so I was unable to log in. I'll be on tomorrow and keep up on things then; saturday, I will be busy the entire day, so I won't be on then, either. After then I don't have anything planned; I'll edit my post here if anything crops up.

Unnessesary and irrelevant post Googi, if you don't have anything on topic to say, say nothing at all.

Yes, I am still missing the rank rights, I spoke to Calani and she is hell bent on keeping some elaborate and unnessesary rank structure with a bunch of ranks nobody uses.

Drakeero · #17 10-11-2006, 08:30 PM

The purpose with bringing up my mother was to say that you can STILL find time to come on and do things, even with a busy life.

Now then.... as long as Calani happens to find a small pocket of time tonight sometime before tomorrow morning to get on and fix some ranks and rights, all will be fine. (for tomorrow)

Honestly Googi, I see you as the GCC version of Kirei Grey from the Maloria forums. An annoying, overdramatic crossdressing graal player whos opinion matters about as much as the ball of lint in the pocket of my pinstripe slacks. -.-

This does not sound like something I should fear.

In any case, Sam, as I expected, recanted on the election deal.

I'm not one of Bosh's cronies. Bosh has done virtually nothing regarding the Zormite issue for months. I want him to become leader for no reason other than because he won the election.

If Calani is going to be active until weekend.

If you believe I have some other motive for wanting Bosh to be leader, by all means post what you think it is.

In any case, if you or Drakeero manage to become leader, that's useful in the middle-term as well. I'll accept an unconditional offer of Zormite membership from anybody who offers one. It was clearly a mistake to believe that what happened after Zoad was appointed was a one-time-only fluke.
