Raven Chill.. I already posted that the server cost would be calculated into the payment..

Please explain to me then how, because he was a good GP on classic, he has the right to make any rule on any playerworld? I dislike the idea of global admins.. no admin can be on every server at once, and if they aren't its obvious they wouldn't know how to run every one of them and what is going on where.

If you don't like it talk to someone else, you KNOW if you were picked for Global Admin you'd take the job in a second. He did an excellent job as GP..to move up as fast as he did on Classic you have to do a wicked job. It isn't like Graal2001 where anybody can get hired. And I'm sure like DeathChill I have to leave now for school.

If I was picked for Global Admin I would turn it down.

Don't assume things about me because it seems you don't know much about me to make such assumptions. I quit 2k1 staff, I was admin there, you don't see me wanting global admin because it's a stupid position, ever since contego started making the stupid rules I made up my mind that it was a stupid position. Contego is a really good friend of mine back when we played on classic together, but I mean, the power of being "global" goes right to the top of your head.

If I was a global admin and I was offered the chance to run the forums, I would quit it without a second thought. Same thing with me being police chief, I would quit in a heartbeat, without regret, because I only want to help run the forums, and nothing else.

Anything is possible. But as a mod, I still wouldn't have the tools I would need to do what I want.

I really think I should be the supermod of these forums because of no specific reason.

They should not be paid, some P2P server owners do not do their jobs, and than that might cause stefan to have problems with them and fire them, i don't think that would be any good.,...

Think about what you just said.. if they aren't doing their jobs then the playerworld SHOULD NOT BE UP.

They shouldn't be paid, because stefan coded graal.. not p2p server owners. They are playing on his property, their playerworld is even their property, people submit playerworlds so they can have fun running it but in most cases it turns out negative.

It seems that most people submit playerworlds just to get them online.. they don't do anything with them after they get up... they just talk about how they are doing stuff, but you never see it.

I mean look at all the current P2P servers besides 2k1 and the UC servers.. they have like 1-5 people on it a day, and those don't stay but for 5 minutes.

I think the people that voted no basically misunderstood the question.. or didn't take the time to read it, because I can't find any reason why it wouldn't be good.. I have given valid reasons to all the people saying they shouldn't be paid.

I mean, you can't think about it in the current state of playerworlds.. because the current state isn't good.. it's the future state of playerworlds that this should be aimed for.. if the playerworld stinks... take it down for crying out loud.

Um That idea sounds more like a joke
1. What money? 2. Major Corruptness
Yes it is a lot of work to make a playerworld,
but you underestimate the costs of running
a game.

You make no profit from Graal?
Have you seen most of the playerworlds lately? They are complete trash.. no wonder you're profits are low.. if playerworlds actually attracted customers, maybe you could make enough profit to pay the owners?
