My name (obviously in game, I am afraid of you people) is Kevin Azite, and I've been a classic player since at least 2001 (I can't go back and decide an official time unless some staff member wants to check the registration of the account (yooooyyyoo), but even then, that may have been removed when trials were purged. The easiest way to describe where I am known would be saying I'm notorious on Classic for being a complete ***hole, but in reality that just stems from my crippling lack of likability (perfectly qualifying for this job!). I quit Graal for quite some time but returned after getting a bank account and the ability to use PayPal, and I've taken quite an active interest (literally, since Graal development now earns me a grade in school) in Graal Development for my third year of Computer Science courses, Computer Systems (I earned a 5 on the Computer Science AB AP exam last year.)
I've worked on several UC playerworlds and can't remember the names of the ones that were actually going somewhere (none of them have "flourished" and gone Classic). However, I currently work on Classic as a NAT, and as far as NATs typically go, my "abuse" is typically minimal (compared to how the typical NAT goes about things).
Since I now fully know that I have "piqued interest", I will explain why I am so desirable. One, I am so incredibly attractive that I will draw in new players by the millions. But more realistically, has I have explained, I am required to actively play a part in Graal and its development for class work. Wouldn't it be fantastic to know that you could guarantee that I am working in a productive manner just by having my teacher's email address and giving them progress reports on my performance? When has GraalOnline ever had that kind of control over its volunteer employees??? My guess is never, and I can only see this as being beneficial. You have the ability to keep me from deviating away from any responsibilities I have by directly having a hand on my GPA.
I am in high school (but let's pretend I've graduated since I could've last year, I am only taking AP Math and Science courses now) and am not employed. However, I have been employed and have worked internships for several programming related interests (I have been working with the US Army as well, although that is now over). I can probably dedicate anywhere from 4-6 hours a day to Graal duties, although not active all throughout that time period. I can easily keep an eye on RC though and intervene if anything major is happening.
As far as Graal's playerworld policies go, I currently see quite a big need for some sort of basic groundwork structurally as far as scripting goes. Scripting has obviously taken a bigger role in playerworlds since the days of hacking bushes and player-killing for entertainment are gone. Therefore, the scripters in power need to create some sort of core system (I don't mean something to handle an explosion or two), and release it along with a full fledged API (not what is currently on graal.net) to help developers be able to release better playerworlds with only the ability of making levels. This could only be beneficial to Graal Online.
The best example of my good judgement was probably stopping an NPC-Server once when some guy was going rampant and trying to delete scripts (stopped him after two) when I lacked the ability to ban/disconnect.
However, the examples of my bad judgement are obviously more documented/well known. |
