5th Anniversary!

Today marks my 5th year as a Playerworld Administrator!

To celebrate, I want to have a Q&A here on the forums. You can ask me anything you like! (remember to respect the forum rules)

Bring it on

What improvements do you think should be made to Graal as a whole? Explain why those improvements should be made into Graal.

1) Introduce yourself. Who are you? What do you do? Where are you known? Why do you play Graal?

2) Experience with "online-only" staff teams, including playerworld work here on Graal.

3) Assuming you have piqued our interest with your qualifications, what makes you stand out as a PWA?

4) What is your education level? Are you employed? What ammount of time can you dedicate to Graal-related duties each day?

5) What do you see that needs changing in Graal's playerworld policies?

6) Show us some examples of your good judgement in certain situations.

7) Please be concise in your replies. It is a valuable communication skill to be able to convey a lot with fewer well-chosen words, rather than rambling essays.

Happy "birthday"!

My simple question: What do you enjoy about being a PWA?

Do you plan on actually answering these with the intensity you supposedly reply to support tickets?

Broad question, but in general it needs to reform the way it presents itself. Graal is all over the place, needs to advertise at least on a basic 20$/month level, and needs to have support people who can make calls to provide quick turn around on support tickets in all departments.

Five years ago it was more wonderous, but largely the same. I had to figure out how to do this political beast of a job. I mean, how do you talk a manager into doing what you say when you can't make them? Now it's a little easier, because we can make them, but sometimes even now we still need Ibonic to enforce policies they refuse to respect.

All faces uploaded are property of GraalOnline

I was instated before the flying technology existed

Cheese is great, I like muenster (sp?)

I don't know much about business, but do you need my credit card or social security number? I have those written on a sticky on my monitor

Helping people with good ideas succeed as project managers and build their ideas into realities we can all enjoy playing.

I'm currently putting all my free time into shopping for a car, because mine broke down a week ago and I'm renting one. It's terribly expensive. I make the time though

After five years I've lost some of the can-do spirit of change, but whenever change for the better is actually possible that spirit flares up again. Also, I've been waiting a long time for a polished playerworld project to pop up. Oasis, Zenkou, all the others that died before they launched make me

Once I hit the ceiling for what I can do to improve the system I turn back to the players struggling with it and try to help them individually with my experience and hope they don't feel like it's impossible to excel.

ITT we hire people for over 5 years who can't answer questions online without losing the time to buy a car

Of course he doesn't; he is spending so much time answering support tickets that he doesn't have time for gurlz (let alone you!)
