Your opinions on the Global Graphics Team please.

[Zero Hour]

Egads, I can't believe I've not been mentioned.

[Matt]

PWA's should give the work of finding stolen graphics control work back to the GGT. If they don't have this job, what would be their purpose other than to make GFX for Graal? This would also make the PWA Team job easier a little bit in my opinion.

[Darlene159]

I would really, really, really like to see the global graphic uploads thing worked out, the global graphics are horribly outdated, and lots need to be removed/improved in my opinion. I personally, would also like to see some new global graphics.

I also dont think PWA should be handling stolen graphics issues (isnt dealing with all the other PW problems enough to deal with?), isnt that part of the GGT's job? I thought it was....

Everyone gets really confused as to who does what, because the globals seem to have their hand in everything these days.

I have also noticed that when you download Graal now, there are next to no graphics that come with it, are there even any global graphics for classic servers anymore asided from shields/swords/heads?

I'd just like to state the PWA just takes bloody credit for the content we remove. To my knowledge, all of them combined hasn't done 1/10th (if any at all) I have in that department. If I'm wrong - show me :P I got a bit of my removals in the solved issues thread in the ggt forum.

[Scott]

Again, Zen, what about the concept of the GGT having more than just a moderation purpose? Sure, you're a resource for the "Gold" servers, but not for the playerworlds that are up and in development. Do you plan on expanding at all, or just to keep in riding your current train? :X

Mmm. Garel and Zone. Again, I'll bring up the whole quality factor thing. Garel was amazing a few years ago, but alot of people have progressed. Though I suppose it's quantity of quality with Zone, right?

And ZH, I don't think this thread is really some sort of "Hey pick me!" or "Hey add him!" type.

People just assume, it's not as if they take the credit and say they did it.
When I was PWA/Working that area I remember doing some graphic things, although most of it was the obvious Era tileset rips, not other things. So they do some, but also at times I'd see the GGT doing a few investigations / or I'd pass them onto them.

Although (not that it is a judgement of activity) I haven't seen that much forum activity within the GGT forum. Which is maybe a good thing, or a bad thing.

[--Chris--]

Houdini as a PWA should not claim that they have taken over our department if what I say is correct (and it is as you also partially showed.)

Like I said earlier - Zen and I are having problems (my last post was like a month ago ;x) I've done a few things upon requests but haven't posted.

Oh, and I'm still waiting on view player attributes which I was told I'd get MONTHS ago (hell, last year?) - With it I can /open <account name> and view the file name of illegal heads and such which is a lot more timely + efficient than warping to a player and taking a screenshot using alt+5 then opening it with the level editor. This kinda co-operation isn't exactly motivational, you know?

[DeathChill]

Why do people even sit here and listen to this garbage? If I tried a desperate power grab (which is all this is) to get my Accounts Admin position back everyone would go "What the hell? NO!"

This is just a way for Kawaii to try and get her powers back and it should not happen. If the graphics team needs to start actually making graphics then tell them to do so, a new admin will do nothing to help as the graphics team is in the exact same position as before Kawaii left.

That's my 2 cents, so feh to you all.

Believe me, I have no doubt that you could collect a suitable global graphics team -- I just don't think it is necessary.

With the establishment of private playerworlds, people ALWAYS have the required graphics; secondly, from previously seeing the team at work, they rarely help in the creation of graphics; thirdly, the checking of illegal graphics should belong to the PWA. Not trying to add more to their plate, but that should be their jurisdiction.

Well I didnt post the Rudora-Oasis resolution, either, which was just last week.

Those 2 stickies in the GGT forum are more for my own reference than anything else. They are to keep me updated on what the other guys are doing, and also so they can tell me directly when they are having problems resolving a particular issue and need me to step in and help or do it for them (like uncooperative PW staff, etc).

I'm obviously not going to ask myself for help.

And I dont always think to go to the forum and post every time I jump on a server ask somebody to change something. lol I honestly think Chris has been a bit excessive with his Head reporting.

And also, I havent caught you on AIM since a few days ago, and I meant to ask you what you and Growlz were looking into on Era?

I got a complaint about Aeon for Era tiles sometime after I was aware that you 2 had been on Era for whatever reason -- so I wanted to make sure before I started a redundant search + destroy mission.

About me, well, I've been in limbo with the US Military since February. Drove to Richmond, made 92 on the ASVAP, and everything was fine on my physical except I had +1 protein in my urinalysis. Ended up failing the physical because of it and getting banned from Military service. I was really counting on getting in, too.

This coupled with the typical coming-of-age delimas has really been hurting me: I'm a young (now 19) male who has been out of High School for a year now, living on my own with no help from my parents. One lives in California, one lives in Texas. I drive whatever peice of crap car I can get, now on my 2nd and it'll cost near $1000 to get it street legal in Virginia (wont pass the inspection). My rejection sticker lasts another 10 days or so and then I cant drive it.

The military was a nice car, free college, and steady income to me (and internet...lol and maybe another computer ).

Anyways I took a urinalysis locally in Abingdon and passed with nothing wrong, sent the results to my Air Guard and Army Reserve recruiters months and months ago -- and STILL neither of them have gotten their crap together to get me signed up, just because I've already initially been banned from the Military for having too much protein in my piss and I have to now deal with this lengthy Waiver process.

So I'm just waiting...and getting by until I get my break.
