For example, randomly teleporting people around the game world. When designing stuff for games, you need to consider how it impacts all of the players (putting in something that teleports you across the world OBVIOUSLY favors teleporters or those with gate...).

Nightmare to work with because I don't find customer service babysitting to be that hard? Lol what world am I in?! This is the twilight zone lol. They even said themselves it was like being a school teacher watching children.

I'm really curious what you people do if you think being a guide is that difficult...if you think hanging out in a virtual chatroom answering petitions is hard work....then....yea, wtf do you do for a living?!

Or does everyone work at mcdonalds and is super insulted I equated putting fries in the fryer to a low skill / low effort job? Though, actually mcdonalds is probably more work :P Since you don't get to decide your hours and need to stay standing the entire time and it comes with more responsibilities / regulations on sanitation and whatnot?

Gain some perspective, we are talking about being a guide and teleporting around to help people with petitions. For fucks sake this is ridiculous LOL.

((Oh, and notice how I said low effort...not no effort. Being a guide and helping out is really awesome stuff, and definitely more work than a person has to take on. But save the martyr stuff for someone else :P))

It's pretty hilarious that you STILL don't get that being a guide has nothing to do with 'how hard it is' and everything to do with 'having a likable personality'. You still keep pointing out how EASY it is to be a guide... you clearly still don't get it. You were never rejected because of lack of technical ability. It is because of your attitude.

Yup, I'm cocky because I said I could be a guide and it isn't hard (which you agree with).

And I'm cocky because I likened a guide sitting there trying to tell me how I had it all wrong and how really difficult it is to a person working a low skill restaurant job to telling a chef that cutting onions is super difficult. ((which, again, we all agree it really isn't))

SO, we all agree it isn't difficult (since it isn't about that, right?). Then the "ick, cocky" comes from me just saying it is easy to me (even though, yea, we all agree it probably is).

Does your head hurt from all of the cognitive dissonance going on? Do you hate any capable person saying they can handle jobs easily? Do you hate accountants saying they can figure out the 13 percent tip pretty easily?

Now that I point this out, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess to you it makes me even MORE cocky. But, as your brain tried to sort through the simple stuff I wrote....did you feel your head hurting a little more? :3 Like, seriously, I'm curious what level of discomfort your cognitive dissonance gives you :3

Like I said, get some perspective. We are talking about answering some petitions on a virtual chatroom. LOL

Irony.


It's OK if you don't get it. Not everyone is cut out for public relations type positions.

It's irrelevant that you feel you'd be good for the job if they don't want you for said job. The attitude in your posts clearly shows they made the right decision.

By all means though, continue to make posts about how awesome you are. I'm interested to see how deep the hole will get.

If you think saying you are able to handle virtual chat petitions is bragging about being super awesome....you have a very low bar for someone being awesome lol.

And that was almost a year and half ago I made the offer to help hah.

Rest has been a simple explanation of why there aren't more GM events and whatnot. Explaining how it apparently works (such as them treating event creation as a fun diversion for GMs who are bored).

But, like I said before, it doesn't really matter :P Obviously everything is working out as people like (some people at least). There is no problem, everything is working as intended.

I'm happy just being a gnome to mess around when not working. You guys can enjoy the circle jerk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
