How did you get there?

Many people ask, how I got where I am today, In graal. Its rather interesting to look at the many events in your graal history, that might have influenced where you are today. One of those, random thoughts you have

Here's my story:

-Started off playing classic briefly then moved to UN.

-On UN got interested in how to make things, created my first house with the famous 'beer script'.

-Met Snakeandy and Wan, two level makers started creating a playerworld called 'Tabisan'.

-Playerworld obviously never took off, just being a newbie project. Moved to Mithica got my first job as NAT. Learned quite alot there. This is also when I met Chrisz and anU.

-Moved to Andor, as a scripter was there for quite some time. Andor then was converted into Bravo.

-By this time, I was doing quite alot of scripting, from one playerworld to the next.

-ERA. Dawn of a new one for me at that, Chrisz talked angel into me being NPC Admin there, having met him on Mithica.

-Became Co Manager, then Manager.

-Padren, from GK asked me to help with a few scripts for dustari, this giving me debug access.

-Left graal for a good month, because of reasons outside of graal, obviously handing over managment.

-Came back to graal, not for era, but i thought I may aswell put my skills to good use and so I became GST.

Post your story

-Started playing Graal late 99 with one of my best friends from real life. I Went by the name "Xavier".

-Got involved in the sparring community, meeting and befriending people like people like NYChris, Mercury, The Game, Entrancer, ect.

-Moved to N-Pulse shortly in mid 2000, worked as a GP.

-Moved back to Classic for awhile in early 2001, joined the family "Chill" making me Xavier Chill.

-Left Graal for awhile to play Lineage 1

-Came back, was GP on N-Pulse again for a second time, this time making it to Senior Captain under Nemesis.

-Quit Graal again for Lineage 1 in mid 2002. Pretty much stayed off Graal late 2002- Mid 2004, except for 1-2 months here and there where I would play UN, Era, Classic, or N-Pulse.

-Returned to Classic Mid-2004, worked as LAT for a short while, and left due to personal reasons.

-Became LAT on N-Pulse, made it to Admin in about 2 months, then Asst Manager when Moonie took over.

-Quit Asst Manager on N-Pulse 2 days ago.

-Chillin' like a Villain. Mostly playing Era, until Guildwars comes out.

I started off playing Classic (most of the time defending my seat on top of Deeto's house I believe it was) pre P2P, joined TAW right before they found out the owner was a guy (Go Contego!), eventually becoming Queen.

Made Goddesstown after practicing level making for awhile, and tried to get it uploaded onto Classic back when you had to upload your levels to be approved online, where it was denied several times...eventually, I got mad and sent my levels to N-Pulse (to Geosgirl), and she asked me if I would be interested in becoming a LAT there.

Gave up Queen of TAW, moved to NP, and became a LAT, then LAT Captain, LAT Chief, then Manager when Geovanie gave it to Moon God and I.

After years of Managing NP, I finally handed management over when things came to a stand-still...I finally became a GP to help, then GP Captain, then became a LAT because they needed help in that area...then quit as I refused to work under the Management (NP changed Management a couple of times after I quit).

Became supermod of the Graal forums

Finally decided to get NP back because Management was corrupt, and here we are

- Used to play MUDs with "Caius"
- Caius told me that Graal was like a graphical MUD, so we began playing years ago (heck if I know when) on N-Pulse.
- Became interested in how to make levels, discovered a tutorial on the old website. I know how to use the level editor, but I am not creative enough to make anything great
- Left for a while, came back.
- Met "Android" on N-Pulse; he was a GP. He let me join SeeD, although my guild tag didn't work until months later since the guildcp was broken.
- Android and I made a new town for N-Pulse with a heart quest; It was terrible, and we never submitted it.
- I became interested in scripting, and I looked at the Newbie Scripter's Bible; I didn't understand a word of it, so I just tried things out until I got it right. I was amazed after I created a light that moved back and forth on the x-axis.
- Became interested in Graal2001 the day ghost mode was released; I bought an account the same day.
- Begged Kamuii to let me become an auctioneer all the time, and he never let me
- Submitted an application for Police to Alkaren; he didn't let me join
- I learned about serverside scripting from Rabid and screen_name.
- Tried out some serverside stuff on Frolic (Cybnext gave me RC to learn)
- Joined Zormite somewhere around this time, eventually became Emperor along with Caius; I was bad at it.
- AlexH became Police Chief, and he let me join
- It is kind of fuzzy here; I somehow became an auctioneer.
- AlexH stepped down, I became Police Chief.
- There was a very serious bug in the Minotaur monster in the dungeons that let players get tons of items; Kamuii couldn't script, and I had basic knowledge. I coaxed him into giving me NC rights; he did, and I disabled the bug so I could look at it more and fix it. Kamuii was happy, and I think he left the NC rights there.
- One of my Police officers, either HoudiniMan or Zurkiba (sorry, don't remember which one) decided it was a good idea to hack. I fired whichever one it was, and made the mistake of not banning him. Alkaren demoted me to Assistant Police Chief, and CORPSE was made Police Chief.
- Corpse just idled, I became Police Chief again.
- I did random scripting jobs for the server and made some projects of my own.
- <insert long period of time>. Joined #gscript. Lots of people asked me for scripting help, and I helped them.
- Became interested in GST since I was kind of doing their job. Spoke with some people and Stefan, and was later given global rights.
- It hasn't been long, and I've helped Zodiac with a very strange problem, and I've helped N-Pulse a few times, including getting their NPC-Server back up; A script caused it to crash and it wouldn't start back up. I'm glad that I could help the server I began playing on

And had a very good attitude while helping us, and it was very much appreciated

Well, lots of leveling jobs and my work on eXodia got me noticed by Spark910 we got talking and I started working on Rudora, after a few months got management quit shortly after.

Worked on several playerworlds which never got anywhere, started talking to Ducati about N-Pulse and I then helped N-Pulse with levels. I then quit N-Pulse (I now wish I hadn't, bad move) and worked on another playerworld. It obviously failed so I decided to revive Zhalla (N-Pulse) and i'm now still working on it under a new alias, Rudora.

Quite boring but I guess it was fun.
