GM selection

[Agatha]

You simply can't take people from blue, or even people who played rz/vz/tz 10 years ago, and expect them to be good GM's.

This isnt classic, this isnt blue, the learning curve for a blue guide to guide here is to much.

The reason why sirken adapted quickly was because he knows the players. You guys really need to pick ACTIVE red players to be guides/GM's.

This server needs a GM that all his job is to be at the boss mob spawns.

I feel like if you guys need to "train up" a GM, you already failed. unless its on the commands and use of you're petition queue services.

[Awwalike]

u care 2 much didn't read u lost

[Agatha]

ENOUGH WITH BLAMING THE GM`s read the FORUM RULES

meh, im not blaming the GM's as much as trying to point out the lack of attention to this server is letting this server fall into chaos.

[Elspeth]

the server is the best its ever been.

[heartbrand]

Wut? Server was best for first month of launch not sherrif srs

[Tassador]

Nominated for faggot post of 2014 man you dumb.

[LostCause]

naw

[Eslade]

They're not going to pick you agatha. I think somewhere in the flow chart there is a section that says "is it agatha? - - - - - - - >no".

haha, im fine with it not being me, as long as its someone of my calibur, someone who knows the players, knows what rules to GM against, and what stupid rules not to GM against.

someone who knows who to watch, and knows what a train is on a pvp server, and knows what is not being the biggest thing.

much more stuff that applies to red99 and nothing else, for example, as a GM i would not ban lite for boxing since he is a using boxing to further his guild. it's the ONLY way azrael works,

If someone is boxing tranix then yes, ban.

If someone is boxing a cleric so there group can level, no, no ban.

then there are the certain players on this server that absolutely abuse ghosting/warping, i'd be imediately on them, just as someone who plays as much as me would aswell.


Someone new simply isnt going to cut it. you guys need boots on the ground REAL CSR, not the bullshit head hunter GM tactics that have been going on up until now.

Quoted for truth

Unfortunately Holo (The original zerg on red99) had a big part in making the pop numbers drop fast with an explicit intent of "griefing people off the box". It worked, thanks to staff not listening to people asking to remove xp loss so this would not happen.

All these words about being in touch with the server, from a player who legitimately believes <slamdunkatron> are nihilum rerolls :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[heartbrand]

Holo were relentless but dunno I found I a lot of fun trying to xp knowing there was a constant threat of pvp.

[Tradesonred]

Are you high again Agatha

You dont make rules and then decide when it does or does not apply, that is textbook corruption

[Bazia]

doesnt gotta be agatha but someone please for gods sake

Yeah im sure the pvp was a constant threat with 15+ of you in Guk and that cleric training any group that came in to try to pvp. I know because i was one of the guys outside trying to rally people and take you out of there. Thats when i really realized xp loss in pvp was gonna be trouble for the server pop. On week one.

[ricquire]

GM's cant maintain and manage their own unit/group, let alone entire server.

[Smedy]

i would love to see agatha on the gm staff droppin drug induced ban waves, would be pure rustle

[heartbrand]

Would love to GM here. O well.

[Smedy]

yaw lets have the guy supporting variance then joining nihilum and instantly changes his mind cause it doesn't fit his personal interests anymore

feels like you could be making some biased decisions on staff u digg jewdog

[heartbrand]

Dunno was senior guide on eq live from petition era until like three years ago. It isn't hard to be impartial IMO, anyone training / rmting / exploiting / being outrageous in ooc / violating LNS etc should be punished. I don't care what tag they wear. It's retarded to say people can't guide here because theyve been in guild x. Literally playing on this server and being in any guild automatically disqualifies you. Therefore we get these awful blue guides who don't get the red culture and suck / hate guiding here. Not everyone is looking to abuse power.

i honestly feel like im part of the community and would like to see things improve, i wouldnt single any other guild out because i didnt like them. i'd retire my characters if they wanted me to even.

[Tradesonred]

Smedy has one of the worst cases of tunnel vision on these forums.

[Smedy]

i'm ready to be men about it too on staff, would promote box, bring fresh blood and be a unbiased all around great guy gm, i can spot bullshit a mile away and well placed b-hammers would be hitting their targets

[heartbrand]

Ya dunno basically rolling a char here disqualifies you I guess? It's funny cuz they talk about needing to be super careful with GMs and then we get amelinda / Ephi / Zade (even tho I love you Zade) / ambrotos etc. It's not like guides here have been amazing on the whole. So let's give some people a shot with limited powers, and grow them into future senior guides or whatever. Or we can just continue having no staff presence and no rules except for the five minutes a month a gm logs on, bans people on sight and disappears again.

[heartbrand]

Not directed at Eunomia / derubael / Sirken who all have been great plz don't ban also donation incoming thx

[Tradesonred]

I also offered myself to be a GM, didnt get a response, which is understandable since i hold practically no criticism back. I genuinely love this game and the potential for a populated Rallos like server, and sometimes the frustration got the better of me and i went too hard on the staff so i most likely rustled some feathers there.

My main fun in GMing would be to hold events like the ones on halloween 2001 in Rallos and trying to think of ways to design events that has 0 GM interference in it and is purely sandbox.

And i would certainly push that if red doesnt have the manpower to GM LNS, then remove it. The only thing i agree about LNS is training. Personally i think it adds something to the sandbox, and "Spectres to docks" is integral with what i consider classic Rallos. But i also understand there is some epicly sad and griefy assholes here that would take it to another level so i can accept the no training policy.

lol and uthgaard. I told him that cherry picking who gets to keep their rule breaking names or not gives the GMing a corrupt cop flavor. Got banned for 2 years until finally Rogean flagged my petition for unban (probably after realizing how much shitbagging Uthgaard had left behind).

I explained to Uthgaard how i helped Rogean test the components (chat features, played capture the flag in a raid zone for a night or 2) that eventually became red99, had 0 previous incidents. He just laughed at me by flagging my thread 5 stars as my posts became gradually steamier as i realized this asshole was gonna keep me banned, an account that took 6 months of solid leveling to get it to where it was, over some stupid respect my authority shit.

[Mac Drettj]

Ya it shouldn't take 3 months to close people's petitions/queries.

And training/pnp violations should be dealt with on the spot by first hand observation. If players know the timers then staff also know the timers.

[Instagib]

I vote for Heartbrand

[heartbrand]

I don't know why GMs even need to be seen tbh. Can observe rule breaking behavior and just issue ruling via mouth piece.

[Agatha]

i wouldnt mind literally any of u being GM's. I think anyone who is willing to be a GM has it in them to care enough to do the right thing.

Whats really fucked is that the current staff is so caught up in the BS that they dont realize being staff isnt really a big deal, they want the new GM's/guides to "mesh" with the other staff. none of that is important. at all.

[Gnomegrown]

someone of agathas caliber, or ecoli's caliber

yall are fucking children, this shit is great.

Server is a gigantic joke , I cant imagine who they would even pick here that would remain on staff for more then 5 seconds.
