Successful businessperson have time/want to volunteer 20 hours a week for free. LOL

Pats are fine. Fuck your girl Tom Brady tho

For a guide who simply summons corpses, changes surnames, "observes", I can't imagine it is too difficult to put EQ on a third monitor and type /surname or /summoncorpse or w/e it is, while on the phone.

I hear the guides here don't even have to fill out DSRs, so lucky.

Last server I guided on was Bertox

Yes, I am clearly clueless from being a Senior Guide on live where you had to fill out a DSR essay if you simply logged on to hand a cookie to a player for three and a half minutes, where I had to submit weekly & monthly reports on everything guides did on the server, where even requesting an event be ran was an administrative PITA. Thanks for your input.

Yup even with the DSR tool they eventually provided (automated alot of the report using your logs) you still had to write at least a paragraph or so. LOL at "if you simply logged on to hand a cookie to a player for three and a half minutes" because it so true. God forbid you wanted to "split" your guiding time up in hour intervals for one day. You would have to fill out a report for each time you logged in. It was biggest turn off of the entire guide program honestly but I guess it was a necessary evil.

The reaction of GG to this situation should tell you a lot about his mental state and seems to only reaffirm the decision to remove him, despite his 'fun' personality. This appears to be a difference of opinion. I found his reaction very immature. If you don't see a problem with spamming thread after thread on account after account, then you might really consider stepping away from the game for a month or so.

Whatever the internal struggles of the system might be, there has to be a system. As someone who does professional hiring, and subsequently firing, I know it's difficult to find quality employees. I can only imagine it is exacerbated on the internet for a volunteer position to an emulated video game where the minimum requirement to apply is having a pulse.

While guiding sounds fun to some people, they may forget that there is a large responsibility associated with it and they are entering into a system that has already been well established. Like most jobs it's most likely not that glamorous. It's okay to have opinions, but one should have the presence of mind to realize that changes will most likely be small and made over a long time period, and at the end of the day, you as the individual do not have control. I agree with HB and Sam that getting away from basement dwellers is ideal, but as it has been stated, with the time requirements for the guide position, hiring competent, successful, level-headed persons has to be difficult.

At the end of the day, a lot of people forget that this is just a hobby. While the devs and admin are passionate about P99, it's still just a game.

I'm not sure what this is in reference to, but I enjoyed GG's stories and antics until recently and have had extremely limited interaction with him.

It doesn't take a salary to get a competent volunteer, it takes not choosing unemployed pot heads / PTSD sufferers / people who have never made it past level 10 / 50 year old single females with 11 cats / people desperate for money. I spent years in the guide program on Live in an administrative position, and I can't even count fully on one hand "bad apples", through hundreds of people who came and went through the program that were under me. Something is wrong with the process here obviously when you have this many people leave on terrible terms either through their own misconduct or other action.

Has there even once been a normal "leaving the guide program thanks guys" moment around here?
