Application: Codein

[Darlene159]

My only input on Codein can come from actions on the forums, and from what I can see, he needs to familiarize himself with rules because of several infractions, and a few for the same thing.

Knowing the rules for Graal, it would seem, would be mega important in this position. You cannot enforce rules if you dont know them, or follow them yourself.

Yeah. I wasn't being completely serious. However, she did have a good application in my eyes. What more a reason could I give?

I read the rules and most of which were just my own misunderstanding. Maybe the rules should specifically say "There should be no mention of sexuality, at all, what so ever, on Graal". If it does though, many people, including many of the globals, have broken this rule.

The swear filter evasion, well, yeah. Fudge is in the same league as "Darn", "Poo", "Wee", "Heck", etc. A lighter word I've always used in replace for the much strong counter part. Would "poo" be against the rules because it's a lighter way to say the taboo word we all know and use very well? I don't mean to argue, since it's your interpration over mine but, yeah.

Nothing against Codein but I'm just curious.

It's not to someone of your skill but it is to someone without any prior knowledge to mudlibs, GS2 and what not.

I just started making one 'cuz I'm bored ...

I remember the last time I made a mudlib, I was using someone elses code and just rewriting it, it was a complete mess, and it took like 4 weeks. I've almost got one done in a few hours.

So yea, not hard for an experienced person (myself ), but seems hard for t3h n00bz (you guys--not meaning you, Codein )

For me, I was at a loss where to begin. I have a good idea where I'd start now though.

I'm religiously following this idea of not commenting on other applications, but I do have one thing to say...It would be kind of cool if there could be some kind of global position of developers who run in on servers and help them out. People like Codein and Twinny would be well-suited for it 8)

I can script like my favorite brick wall, and it seems really hard to me!

There have been these types of things, like the global scripting team, which still is here. There used to be a global graphics team, but it was removed.

Yeah, we've already been through this in the past. It didn't work out. Honestly, those jobs are just way too demanding for a few people to fill.

The only way I could see it working out is if the team consisted of 10-15 great graphic artists, with some type of requested graphic queue system, and the graphics would have to belong to the community to use on any playerworld.

It'd be even better if they had projects such as:

• Brand New Tilesets w/ Different Themes (i.e. jungle, forest, urban, etc)
• Custom Bodies
• Sprite Sets (that fit the themes of the new tilesets)
• Brand New GUIs

I'd say that it would be great if they could get a team like that, the only problem with it would be getting those graphic artists focused on there projects. Having "free-to-use" graphics shouldn't really be anything other then the essentials for a classic playerworld. The GGT would more be using some type of queue system for different playerworld creation requests, ranging on the time they take to make, the size, how essential it is to that server, etc.

I have a few ideas in terms of payment-wise to get them focused, mainly it doesn't sound realistic any time soon, unless players would want to pay $10-$15 for graphics for there server which I find an unrealistic idea, as they complain enough that they have to pay for there server to be up. Unless you can find quality 2D Graphic Artists who will take on loads of work for free...well yeah.

Please try to stay on topic with Codein's application. You can start a new thread in the right forum if you want to continue the discussion on a new sort of global team.

Wasn't this the guy who, not-to-long ago, had to apologize to the forums for being a racist and drug-user (or maybe drug-using was just the justification)... after trying to start a server based on the ideas of Stromfront, a "White Nationalist" (also known as white supremacy) board?

Just a thought...

Yes, but wasn't this the guy that apologized to us on his own account?
I know him thoroughly, and he is completely ridden of any Stormfront stuff.
And drugs. Dude even I did some space cake in my life!

Says you. I'm very experienced at enforcing rules and following the ones I deem worth following.

That is no longer relevant.

Following rules you deem worth following leads to enforcing rules you deem worth enforcing.

VERY well put.
