I'd like to suggest you guys try out someone like Autotune or myself as a guide. No offense to the current or past guides, but some of the people who have been guides know fuck all about EQ, raiding, raid tactics, the classes of the game and their full abilities, or general game mechanics.

Now, I realize people like myself and Autotune have been suspended or been at the center of raid scene drama in the past, which I'm sure gives you pause. However, you've got enough people on staff that were brought on because they are bastions of integrity or whatever qualification it is you look for when selecting guides. What you really need is someone who has been around long enough to know how the server and game works.

I mean really, what do you guys have to lose taking a chance on someone who is an actual raider? I think the closest thing to a raider that you've had as a guide has to either be Bisch or Uu, both of whom came from lower tier guilds. Likewise, even the people who have been picked in the past often turned out to be shitheads. I like Uu as a dude, but Cyrius was a god awful guide. Amelinda RMT'd. Alovia stole server code from what I was told. Uthgaard raged out. The list goes on. At least with someone like us you know what you're getting. The devil you know is better than some time bomb of sketchiness like you've had in the past.

And really, what could we do as guides that would really have a lasting and negative impact? I'm assuming there are server logs you can reference and I doubt even with a normal candidate you'd just let them go do CSR stuff without checking in that they're doing everything right. So there is already an oversight apparatus in place.

The track record with guides on this server has to be like 50% - with a number like that you'd be crazy to not at least take a chance on someone whose attributes lay more with their knowledge/time/consistency than with your perception of their integrity (which again, has been a bit off in the past).

Oh also, this server hasn't had a solid GM event in forever. Even just for that you should bring someone on who can actually come up with fun, interesting and regular community events - ones that are more substantial than "oh hey look, we spawned a mob in a zone they aren't normally in, gave them a different name, and buffed their HP - kill it and we'll let you roll for random loot". I won't even mention that one recently where the event basically boiled down to racing all over the world for shit loot (fireworks? seriously?). An event has to either be fun, or rewarding - ideally both... that event was neither.

So yea, officially putting my name in for consideration, and also endorsing Autotune as guide. If you want a positive change on this server, you're gonna have to deviate from the norm - vote Loke for guide!
Guide's are not the same thing as GM's btw. I'm not sure how far the permission tree goes for a guide on Project 1999, but it's not like you have the ability to summon people items or do anything incredibly game changing. I wasn't sure if you knew this or not so I thought I'd let you know the difference.

Guides are allowed to play characters, loke. How do you know if derub or eunom are not in a raiding guild or know nothing about raiding?
