"Sucking up" Seems to be the new "respect"
I hire people who show others respect when talking to them, and can overlook the way they may feel about a person in order to do their job appropriately. If you want to call that sucking up, then so be it.

I would hope the 2 people hired can treat people with respect. It's pretty important, since they will have to interview Managers/Admins on servers for news, even if they don't like them.

I haven't seen any :confused:

By your standards Door wouldn't be good for the job, yet she actively talks to Managers on many servers already and can freely associate with them on many different servers. You wouldn't have hired Door, because you don't overlook the way you do your job appropriately, so you're hardly the moral compass to discuss things like hirings, especially given who you hire yourself.

Would you prefer people putting up fake smiles towards people that they don't like, or express how they feel? Personally, I'd prefer the latter.

On thread topic:
Congratulations guys.

i do agree with pojo. a lot of the era news articles are just pointless. for example: '___ gets hit by a car!' - it happens too many times a day to count, and doesn't even serve a purpose? cars don't even affect the players health. '____ reopens / opens!' - there's a server message for that. the articles are full of gramatical errors, almost like they weren't proofread. even though english isn't her first language, she could atleast put some effort into her articles, such as finding topics with a point, and using the spell check option. the first server news was absolutely worthless, there's castle wars on almost every server.

*snickers*

?.

o_o omg...

there's two ways of spelling 'gramatical'. gramatical, and grammatical.

yeah if you wanna be incorrect there's only about infinity-ass ways spell it the wrong way

Can you at least look into that before you say as much?

Okay lets break this down. Nataxo can not use remote control. Nataxo is a trial. Nataxo can't post those news. That means that the only person who can submit news is Cyan.

Now lets break this down a little more. Nataxo is a trial. (I said this twice! LOLOLOLOL!!!11!!) Nataxo is unable to access the Graal Bible. Now knowing this information, we can reasonably assume that the only people who would submit Nataxo's news would be Cyan3.

Okay so we have all this information stating Nataxo most likely did not post that news. We can also make use of the following information:
http://wiki.graal.net/index.php?titl...ev&oldid=11701

The best thing to do now would be to realize that unless the user Novice submitted that news as a favor for Nataxo or Cyan, that Nataxo or Cyan did not write that information.

You could also ask Nataxo, and I'm sure Nataxo might let you know if she wrote that article.

sup@no respect

i'd appreciate it if you quoted the sentence that i stated nataxo wrote the first article. :)

& if she can't access the graal bible, cannot use remote control, and can't post news, shouldn't the position should've been given to someone who could?

search it on google.

sup@thinking about what is said.

I never said you said Nataxo wrote the first article. I'm just responding mostly to Nataxo, as Nataxo seems to be the person you are targeting.

sup@sounding like my mother

^that and "what the hell"

I really think Stefan knew those things before he hired me... he's not stupid you know. :\

Do you guys honestly think Stefan is unaware of Nataxo not having Gold, or are you just frustrated at the fact that she will most likely be given Gold or something other such as permissions on GraalBible, upon being accepted for the position, to do her position? x.x

Special permissions to edit the graal bible can be given to trial users.

Assuming that the people fascinated about Nataxo not having Gold did not know this, maybe this is what they needed to see.

The problem is not so much whether or not she can do her job, which I'm sure she can, but whether a trial should be allowed to do this.

Trials can't lead gangs on Era, aren't supposed to be staff, and have similar restrictions placed on them, yet it's okay for one to be a global staff member?

how dare u question stefan's judgment and decisions

I also agree with Pojo's point (Darn he's banned! I think) as well as many of the people who applied were filtered out because they didn't have past experience with gathering news (In the respect that they weren't highly acknowledged for it) despite the people who did talk about Era Ammo running out and some staff blocking up a building.

dalton seems mad that liz is dating luda now

I'm pretty sure grammatical has two m's, not one, well in the English language at least.
I'd also point out the lack of capitals.
I do play Era, every now and then and have read some articles, though you think someone dying because they got hit by a car is pointless to have in a news article then why would they do it in real life? Is it pointless there too?

Nataxo should get gold, otherwise it would be unfair towards other members of the community.

I'd do your position >_<.


But seriously. Stop whining about this all, the decision has been made and we just have to wait and see if Stefan made the right one. As of now, I'd like to see something going on, it's been two days and I really can't wait for progress much longer ^_^

none of those things is true

qft

I've been visiting a few servers and most of them are not interested in the news. Hopefully I'll have some news posted today.

No, because this isn't the real world.

The idea of having some articles in an NPC newspaper was a nice concept. The actual content was boring.

It's the idea of people who are not greatly acknowledged for posting news that weren't hired. I've seen a ton of edits/posts by Pimmeh on the wiki before, which were actually nice ones.

gramatical can be spelled in two ways.
google it.

okay, answer this.
does my lack of capital use change the word or phrase that i'm spelling out completely?

do people in real life have endless lives, where when they die they're warped to a hospital bed, and are revived?

No it can't lol.

RLY???
because when i was typing up my reply, when i said 'gramatical' the first time, i googled it because i was unsure of the spelling. it didn't correct me, so i used it.

Pro tip: Just because you can google something doesn't make it fact.

And wow, this thread is totally derailed lol.

:(

yes, i realize now.


you guys were right.

wow finally admits it jesus christ

jeez sorry for trusting google :rolleyes:

I've been having slow progress searching for news. Mainly because almost every UC server I've visited today have had immature none-dev staff members killing me with staff tools degrading my interest in the server.

I'd suggest sticking around the classic servers anyways.

Good idea, classics servers have a better opportunity for news articles and the staff are more professional.
