Lookin for a few good Guides

[Sirken]

Hail my fellow Norrathians!

The Project 1999 staff is looking to add a few new Guides. If you are interested please click on this link (http://www.project1999.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=33) and fill out an application today! If you have already filled out an application and are still interested, please bump your application and update any information that may be out of date.

If your application thread is locked, please just make a new one.

We are specifically looking for people that can spend absurd amounts of time (ie: at a bare minimum 20hrs a week) doing guide work for the CSR Team.

The Staff

[Colgate]

i would be the best GM

[Zoolander]

thought players actively playing on a server are not allowed to guide on same server for reasons we all know?

[Derubael]

Guides can play, GM's can't.

[Colgate]

consider this my application to being head GM

[Derubael]

We really do need one or two good guides on red. We have to be pretty selective due to the nature of the box, which is unfortunate because with the low pop the pickins are already pretty slim.

[Feniggles]

sounds intresting, id consider deleting my characters needed or not to take on this responsibility.

[Nirgon]

Will GM server and rape skulls

[BigHurb]

i will guide just throw some of that kickstarter money towards my college loans

[Took]

These guides going to just be focused on red right, Rogaine isn't going to steal them for blue when velious launches?

[Asap]

Please change thread title to "goog Guides"

[Derubael]

We're hoping to recruit enough 'blue guides' that any guides we recruit specifically for Red will be able to spend all of their time on Red.

[Took]

Please change thread title to "goog Guides"

[Fame]

Grasping at whats left of server integrity? pras

[Instagib]

Who the fuck would volunteer to hear a buncha fucking cry babies whine about shit they don't even pay for. No thks.

[karsten]

Please change thread title to "goog Guides"

[SamwiseRed]

i may app again. too busy to play, not too busy to help and when needed serve a nice cup of justice.

[Fame]

I'd vote for Sam

[SamwiseRed]

you have my Nature Walker's Scimitar (in sig)

[Tradesonred]

I would apply for guide but dont think id be wanted lol

And i wouldnt be interested in upholding PnP, more in setting up fun events for people to PVP over.

I think id make a good one, id take the hyppocratic oath

[Bazia]

all our guides get absorbed 2 blue eventually

[k9quaint]

We have to be pretty selective due to the nature of the box, which is unfortunate because with the low pop the pickins are already pretty slim.

Pick Swedish guides. They are awake when the content is up.

[runlvlzero]

No way I could do this or I would volunteer...

[Gaffin 7.0]

voting nirgon and samwise

[Fame]

voting nirgon and samwise

[Tradesonred]

I would make a proper application if red was wiped and some sort of real PvP server emerged from it. Would be fun to make the server fun for the players, probably only kick i could get from EQ at this point, to watch players have a blast and this bringing even more people to the server from word of mouth. Would love to drive some events similar to the Halloween events that happened in october 2001.

[Jenni D]

Id vote for big sammy
A lovely gentleman, loyal and true. Also an all round american hero, has seen the world, much to offer rogean and co.

Also about time Flowers had an "insider" surely? :) I kid I kid.

I wouldn't mind being a guide on red . Msg me sirken

[Swish]

I miss Alovia.

[Tubben]

I want Loudog as an Guide. He's allready VERY helpful. I dont even know if he reads the forum, but he would be pretty nice and he plays alot.

[Greegon]

what is the exact role of a guide as opposed to a GM deru? am curious

[Derubael]

In terms of what players will notice? Not a whole lot. A guide's ruling is still final, and we give our guides a ton of leeway to make their own calls out in the field.

In terms of actual access, guides can't summon items or create NPC's. They can't run queries on the backend (though they do have access to the CSR tools, which is a 'front end' query tool, with prebuilt queries and a GUI), and don't do raid disputes. They handle most of the front line petitions, and are the eyes and ears of the Project 1999 CSR Staff.

GM's tend to handle things on a larger scale. The Great Red Jailbreak of 2014 is a good example of this. Tracking which accounts were logged in and what items were transferred would have been virtually impossible for a guide.

They have access to a wide range of commands to help them in their duties as slayers of evil and keepers of the peace. Guides on Project 1999 have a lot more tools at their disposal than the guides on live ever did, and they have a lot more freedom to use them.

I will be honest, it takes a special kind of person to be on the CSR staff, especially on red. You need lots of patience, understanding, and the ability to view a situation from all sides before making a call. A thick skin doesn't hurt either, because you're simultaneously one of the most respected and vilified people on the entire server. You have to roll with the punches, take what little thanks you get when it comes, and always remember that no matter what call you make, you WILL piss someone off. People will constantly attack your judgement, your decisions, and your character. You sometimes have to wipe months or even years of work and accomplishments out of someones life permanently. There is always someone who will cry foul as loudly as they can, even if your decision is right..

That being said, the rewarding part comes from being able to help the community more than you could in any other position. Being able to affect positive change upon the server and have your voice be heard. Doing good things for the server(s) as a whole, and doing it without the expectation of thanks, with the feeling of helping someone else being your only reward. You will sometimes make someones day just by answering their question. Every time you answer a petition, you are doing a little bit of good for the server.

100% worth it. If you can handle it.

[Kraftwerk]

What if you view all situations from no sides and ban first/always and ask questions never?

[Derubael]

What if you view all situations from no sides and ban first/always and ask questions never?

Then you probably play on the red server :D

[Awwalike]

if you made cidisius/neefin a guide you wouldn't regret it. guy has been without a doubt the most helpful dude on server. I don't even think he's attacked someone first in his whole time here starting on launch day. guy played blue as well I bet anything nobody has ever petitioned against him. he is the most level headed patient not bias player this server has. look into him all he does is run around red server helping people literally the whole time he's on.

he's never been guilded never raided and has never talked shit to anyone. I bet nobody here has a bad thing to say about him.

[SamwiseRed]

with great power comes great responsibility.

Uthgard fuck off youre not getting a staff position again

[Awwalike]

uthgaard would destroy nihilum like he did inglorious basterds on blue. arzak would sure be a lot more careful about abusing inside info and changing it right when he's done doing it.

[Tradesonred]

Uthgaard was a fucking ban happy idiot but lets not get into that here

I'm pretty sure I have been petitioned because people think I am a boxed character while I am PLing people. I find it amusing, some people cannot believe I am as nice as I am.

I am not sure my internet limitations would allow me to fulfill the requirements of being a Guide for the Red server. I have already thought about it before. I know I have the patience and objectivety, but there are other considerations to think about for me.

someone should call shawn woolley mom cuz retti could use her right about now

i think red server needs uthgaard imo .. he was a firm GM who didnt give a shit who he pissed of .. he would have a field day with wheelchizzair and eldermoran

[Tradesonred]

Didnt give a shit if his bans were justified either

Not gonna discuss uthgaard anymore, not because i give a shit about the policy of not discussing GM bans but cause i dont want to shit up the thread. Lets just say you get a clearer picture of how Uthgaard administered bans when you were on the receiving end of an unjustified one.

I was Senior Guide in petition era, guide for over ten years on EQ Live, got denied here. Pretty much sums up the process.

How could you not tell just from the shitty acting from the "scientists"? I do think that entire special had high entertainment value, even though it was essentially a multiple hour infomercial to stop killing sea creatures with oil rigs and shit.

[mrproudbeard]

I'd actually be interested in being a guide if the process around here changed to be a lot more open. Bans/suspensions with a brief description all made public to try and kill off the ridiculous rumor mill that happens around these parts. Same if a ban is lifted.

[Gustoo]

Did the staff find any guides?

[still_MORNIN]

If I am a guide will I be allowed to abuse my power and charge people $50 a pop to unban their toons or whatever else they need... because if i cant do that that i aint appin bro.

[Gustoo]

I applied a long time ago, and was going to fill the application out today again with 3 years worth of updates, but since I never received any communication regarding my original application I didn't see the point of spending a couple of hours going through the process again.

Dear staff: some people want to help. I hope you get the people you need. You want someone to work massive hours, but it may be better to get a few good guys that can spend less hours/wk being a guide.

[Agatha]

i've applied about 20 times. they're big snubbers.

same, starting to think they arnt srs about this.

[Recycled Children]

You people actually want to be guides? GAAAAAAAYY!

he's never been guilded never raided and has never talked shit to anyone. I bet nobody here has a bad thing to say about him.

awwalike is a tite faggot but i agree that cidisius/neefin was absurdly helpful to all during my tenure here on red including myself

[Fame]

Ya Neefin a true fuckin player, c-notes by the layer

[runlvlzero]

Cid is pretty cool even though he kinda elitist

[Silent]

If I didn't actively play Red99 I would probably consider apping since I have tons of free time, But alas I don't see how many/any people can do a guide/GM position and play if they are in a position of power without letting it influence their policing and enforcement.

[Bamz4l]

ask ur guildie that

[Bazia]

Gustoo and Samwise only logical choices here.

I'd throw Powered in too, really nice guy.

[mostbitter]

powered also a thief of fungus and exploiter of chardok, whistle dirty too

[Bazia]

Powered is a saint you shut your filthy mouth scumbag.

[runlvlzero]

I do not really like powered. But he isn't really a psycho. He's pretty human.

[Cid]

Sirken, please check your PMs. I've given it a good deal of thought and I believe I can help the server in the best interests of everyone. I need to speak with you directly before I fill out an application. I have questions and concerns that must be addressed beforehand.

And yes, I do have an elitist attitude because I hold myself to much higher standard than I do anyone else. I can be a huge dick (Just ask Riley) but I try my best to be the nicest, most polite and helpful person that it is possible to be.
I'm the product of many fucked up experiences that have changed my perceptions and the value I place on ideals like honesty and generosity. I have never asked nor expected anyone to do something I am not willing to do twice myself, and I really do not have a sense of greed or desire for recognition or praise. I genuinely enjoy helping people and I am addicted to the feeling of satisfaction I receive from doing so.

So, all in all, I really am an elitist asshole but I am the nicest and most helpful asshole you will likely ever meet in an online game. As long as you don't do something I consider morally reprehensible then I will go as far out of my way as is needed to help you.

For the record, only two people on this server have done something I consider bad enough to refuse them help. Rettiwalk for stripping someone's account, deleting their toons, stealing the names and then bragging about it in ooc for weeks. The other took something I mistakenly said in a moment of honesty and along with others used it to harass and insult someone in one of the most despicable acts I have ever seen in EQ. That one I take extremely personal and it is best he and I never encounter one another in real life because I am ashamed to admit I wish to harm the person.

Everyone else, if you ask for help I will do everything in my power to help you and my assistance is always free.

Once again, Sirken please check your PMs.

[Cid]

North and I were friends before this server existed and will be so long after it dies. I may not condone all of his actions but if no one ever made a stupid decision half of us on the server probably wouldn't have ever been born.

If you choose to judge me guilty by association, you have every right to do so. You can call me every insulting thing you can think of and I will laugh and still help you if you ask me to. I would gladly give my life for my friends, so a little angry disapproval is perfectly acceptable.

[Fame]

Cid is pure. Troof

[Twainz]

Would Support Cid. He would give me GM buffs :D

[big mouth chew]

if you ever played red99 you should not be a guide here

[Twainz]

Chewie would be a good GM. He would HT the whole Server.

MOAR APPS! I'd apply derub, but I'm missing 2/3 factors. Not much free time and I haven't been playing on the server for that long.

[Derubael]

length of time on the server not as important as available time tbh. you can learn about the community/box to make up for raw experience, but we can't teach you to have more time to devote to being a csr ;)

I was serious about wanting to help, but I wanted to make sure I understood what was expected and that I was capable of fulfilling those expectations before submitting an application.
It's been well over a week and I haven't gotten a response or acknowledgement of my PM. I understand you are volunteers and very busy, but it is difficult not to feel ignored.

Basically I am forced to use dialup (Classic internet) because of where I live. I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't prevent me from being able to do something I had to do.
I have extensive experience in mediating conflicts, which is something desperately needed on Red and you will not find a more honest person. I've done as much as I am capable of to help the server grow over the last couple years, and in doing so earned the respect of a large portion of the population, which would be immeasurably helpful in getting people to listen.

If you wish to decline my offer, that's cool. If interested, please let me know, preferably by PM. I like to speak to people directly when possible and not publicly, which was the purpose of the original PM.

Yawgmoth - 60 Necromancer
(Now Under New Management)

Advertise account trade

Ask to be GM

Sorry to disappoint you, but I do not sell accounts. I own the account, which is one of the three allowed on my emu account, but I gave a friend shared ownership so he could play the character. Hence "management" not "new ownership". I still use the character regularly to make and give out necro spells to people leveling.

I know you want to find some way to discredit me Retti, but I advise you to simply stop. You have no moral highground to be looking down on anyone, especially me.
I did not even realize who you were the last time you made a uninformed comment, which it appears you deleted, but contrary to your belief, my dislike of you is based entirely on you bragging in ooc about stripping someone's account. Who the account belonged to does not matter. I would not have even mentioned your name except that you chose to make situation public when you did it.

If you want to troll me, go for it. I do not care what others think of me, only what I think of myself. But, if you want to argue with me, it will only serve to make you look foolish. I have never cheated or broken a server rule on P99. How many times have you gotten yourself banned?

[Mac Dretti]

Ok northwest irl friend

Good luck on app

[Cid]

my first app was ignored for months. if they want you i think they will reply. if not then :(. they wont say yes or no, i think they just say yes or nothing.

If this is the case, I must admit it is incredibly disappointing. If you ask people to do something like submit applications, it should be your responsibility to inform people that they were declined or accepted.
I hated having to tell people on Live that they did not make the vote for guild membership and would have to disband, especially when women cried and it made me feel terrible. I could have just kicked them out, but I believe people deserve an explanation and not be left to wonder. If you are not willing to do the unpleasant duties, I do not believe you should be in a position of authority.

I don't mean that as an accusation against the GMs, it is just another of my unyielding principles. However, if that is the present method of operation, I must respectfully withdraw my interest in being a Guide.

[Cid]

Ok northwest irl friend

I hated having to tell people on Live that they did not make the vote for guild membership and would have to disband, especially when women cried and it made me feel terrible. I could have just kicked them out, but I believe people deserve an explanation and not be left to wonder. If you are not willing to do the unpleasant duties, I do not believe you should be in a position of authority.

I don't mean that as an accusation against the GMs, it is just another of my unyielding principles. However, if that is the present method of operation, I must respectfully withdraw my interest in being a Guide.

Have you ever applied to a job? Ever hired for one? This is really no different. You submit an application, it's reviewed and if they are interested you will be contacted.

If you haven't heard anything you can safely assume the answer is no. Most companies (or unpaid volunteer staff) don't have the time or desire to reach out to dozens if not hundreds of people just to tell them "tough shit".

I agree with your analogy except for comparing a company looking for paid employees to a volunteer program asking for others to volunteer 20+ hours a week of their time.
If you ask someone to give 20 hours a week to essentially help you, and they offer to do so, giving them 20 seconds to say, "thanks, but we've gone a different way" should not be inconceivable.
Treating others the way you wish to be treated is a dying concept but one I wholeheartedly stand behind.

My mother used to run the Volunteer Program at the Human Society Animal Shelter and I guarantee no one who volunteered, to clean up dog and cat shit no less, was ever simply ignored whether or not their assistance was needed.

P.S. Retti isn't this where you talk about how much you lift weights and can beat my ass in real life? I cannot help but feel pity for you.

bump. please bump your guide apps if still interested (even if we haven't contacted you), or submit one if you are interested and have not already.
