Better? :)

I disagree with the whole staff setup you wrote. I don't like the whole "Chief" idea, like "GAT Chief" or "LAT Chief", infact, I never liked it. I don't want to have any Chiefs, I just want to give people the rights they need and leave the hiring and watching stuff to Admins and me.

That's a good idea; the only "commands" we have on Vesporia are summon, "fix player" (fixes a rare bug caused by observer mode), and revive player (in case they changed their revive key, and they can't remember what they changed it to :rolleyes:)

Yes, you're right. Vesporia doesn't really have any rules (that are possible to be broken), so we'll probably just make it clear that we expect players to follow the Graalonline Code of Conduct. I guess the only real rule we have is don't abuse glitches, since we have things in place to prevent other kinds of rule-breaking.
Yes, good point.

You still can't edit it.

Even without chiefs/admins, you still need someone who can manage hirings; this is especially important for scripting (assuming the admins/manager can't script well). Unlike levels and graphics, scripts can't be judged based on just how they look. You also need someone who knows what they're doing to look over it.

I do agree that non-dev admins/chiefs (PR, FAQ, etc) are crazy.

Let's hope a lot of the Managers enforce these rules! Nicely done.

This is somewhat contradictory. If you cannot upload copyrighted content, how does the content come into the possession of GraalOnline from being public domain? Does it belong to the server or GraalOnline? If it belongs to the server, why do I need permission from the creator to upload it, instead of just the server?

From prior experience I know roughly what you are getting at, but the wording is unnecessarily confused.

I like to think that the manager or graphics admin have better uses of their playerworld-administration time than uploading heads. If I hire a competent developer, they should not have to waste their time with stuff like this.

With some of them, it's obvious. But, which rules hold more weight than others? For instance, I really doubt that staff are going to stop massing through RC on Valikorlia (many high admins, and even co-managers, have tried and failed >_<)... so, I would hope that the massing rule holds little weight in the event that a PWA actually comes on Valikorlia to check on how well rules are followed.

From my experience, a scripted warpto usually doesn't work; for instance, I have to log on RC to use warpto, even though it's scripted in to the staff NPC. I guess I can understand the point (even though it's not hard to "reinvent" the commands ^^). I just wanted to make sure that staff NPCs weren't out-right banned. Which, as I can see, they aren't.

They most likely use some sort of check, or do so through sendtorc(which uses RC powers).

Not that I'm aware of, Dusty (unless by "they", you mean Graal). It's been that way since before Inverness joined the team. RC probably just overrides warpto, since the staff NPC uses the same format (warpto x y level.nw).

I would just hope that the massing problem is fixed so staff off tag do not override the ignore instead of just telling staff to stop massing. Servers like Era and Zodiac that revolve around an economy of items and money, people mass message to buy and sell things. Staff play the game so that means staff will most likely have items and money they want to trade and sending out a mass message is the best way to advertise your trades.

Oh... well then it's not scripted, it's Graal's warpto.

By the by, I never have to log on to RC to use warpto. I know this because I've logged on to servers on client at another computer, which can't get on RC because of IP issues, and still have used it.

I wouldn't mind if Era Staff massed anything relevant to the server such as selling guns, etc....But half the time i see them posting irrelevant and useless messages that don't pertain to the server at all...Same with UN.

They work just fine if the script is done correctly.
If Era's system creates an issue with the playerworld rules then it is a valid topic to discuss.
Quote people that you're replying to, no excuses.
If the staff NPC had a warpto it would be with a slash in front.

Massing that you are buying/selling items is just fine. It doesn't break any rule whatsoever. Graal's functionality is what's causing the staff massing problem (when staff aren't on tag). I thought was pretty obvious. ^^ Loriel already has 1 post deleted in this thread for not being constructive; his other post isn't constructive either. :p The same can be said for my past four/five posts, too.

No system is going to cut down on mass messages. Take Era's mall for example, instead of people massing out "Selling: these items. Buying: these items." It turns into "Selling these items at my mall stand, cheap, come check it out!"

You mean Era has another way of advertising across the whole server?
That seems a bit ignorant to say.
