View Full Version : Hiring one scripter. Info Inside.


Raelyn

I am not hiring alot of staff, very few and only out of necessity. In this case, I cannot script much more than simple things. I am a graphics, gani and creative design man, not well suited for scripting and don't have the time in a day to pump out new spritesheets and ganis for them as well as struggle through my scripting ineptitude.

Obviously I don't know enough about scripting to judge how well a scripter is suited for this position, so I would be taking your word for it. Scripter needs to be dedicated to the project, freeloaders who do minimal work to maintain RC on multiple servers need not apply, again, the reason why I am not hiring alot of staff.

There will be benefits, when I say hire, I don't mean you will do work for the server and gain nothing in return, I use hire literally. For information about these "benefits" and about the project before you choose wether it is the project you would like to dedicate your valuable time and effort to, contact me here;

Maybe by giving them need to contact me, it's a way to filter out the ones that are lazy, too lazy to contact me.

If you're too lazy to simply send me a message and ask a few questions, you're probably not someone who needs to know anything anyways.

Well, how about the fact that I am competant enough not to make my ideas directly public on a forum grazed by people also making servers whom may or may not be creative enough to get their own?

Raelyn

I could very well be, as long as the scripter is competant enough for the tasks at hand and produces work of a quality worth being paid for, and dedicated enough to get the job done, not that the server die off after 3 months of developing like so many others whom staff simply lose interest.

Kai, the above description is the scripter that I require, wether the tasks at hand will require the higher quality scripters or not is debatable, but I only intend to hire someone that is capable, or near enough that they can figure it out.

This is not a hire and fire project, I want the people working on it to stay working on it, so no one is picking up where someone left off, or starting over on things that are already halfway done.

This is not a project where people will idle on RC or chat about the weather, or the red sox or "whatever". Not that it's a strict number, or that messing around is frowned upon entirely, but time is valuable, and I don't want to waste mine, just as much as I am sure dedicated scripters don't like to waste theirs. I've worked for a server or two that hired me, gave me a project, and I did it and asked for another one, continued on for about 3-4 weeks before I realised, everyone else in the staff list was "Manager" "Co-Manager" or "Asst. Manager" and did little or nothing to counter my work. It's not a good feeling. I don't consider myself as "Managing" this project, as a matter of fact Kaimetsu, I consider myself to be the local graphics guy of the server. Paying for a server doesn't mean I get to sit on my ass while other people are making progress. I don't intend to hire anyone else for graphics, and my project will require alot of graphics work, more than enough to keep me busy, as I stated in one of the reasons to hire a scripter.

Kai, I welcome you to apply, or to contact me privately for information, but if you were so disapointed by my "less than informative" thread that all you can give is negative input, I wouldn't blame you for not doing so.

Kaimetsu

So how are we expected to distinguish between a talentless hack and a competent-but-secretive manager? Because the truly talented scripters ain't gonna go asking you for information unless they're already interested in the project.

I guess I'll have to settle for one of the less talented, but more outgoing scripters in the community.

I'm surprised to see Kaimetsu is the voice of every "truly talented scripter" in graal, is he the leader, the charismatic voice of talented graal scripters around the world? Come on, how can you say that 'ALL' talented scripters would show no interest, you are not all talented scripters, you are 'A' talented scripter.

Nitkizi
11-29-2004, 04:36 PM
I think what they are trying to get at is to describe the project that you are working on, like the theme of the server, what's it about, etc. etc. I'm sure money may tempt some, but as you can see with Kai, money or no money, they don't want to work unless the project interests them as well.

I think it is in the rules of this forum that you need to explain something about your server, is it not? I don't really care myself, I'm just saying, so don't jump down my throat.

As a scripter, I look for a manager that seems responcible and mature. One example of this is the fact that they spend time on making sure they have proper grammer and spelling when talk to you. Ideas arn't the only insentive to work for a server...

Kaimetsu
11-29-2004, 07:46 PM
To be fair, Raelyn, the screenshots you posted are exactly the kind of thing I was asking for. They show that you're a manager who'll innovate and provide interesting challenges for his staff members, plus they illustrate a concept that Joe Uncreative couldn't easily steal. I hope you get the help you need.

Don't go argueing to me about spelling and grammer errors when you your self capitalized aren't and responsible. Besides, I am not a manager. I don't look for my self. :whatever:

I don't ignore the insight, and I am sure you know the scripters better than myself, but the evidence in my inbox tells a different story from that which you are telling.

Kai, I have nothing against you, I respect you as a scripter, but even you have to admit, some of your comments go above and beyond in the negativity department.

Well Kai, all my ideals are fairly, if not entirely original, and even if they are inspired by other things, my own method of implentation is definately original.

I think the fact that the whole server staff is going to consist of me and a scripter shows that I am a responsible and mature "manager" (if you must continue to call me that). Most immature and irresponsible managers would hire 10 staff, make them all co-manager, and sit around shooting the **** on RC all day, while I, on the other hand, am hiring ONE person, who is a scripter, alongside myself, providing graphics and concepts to work our asses off and finish the majority of the server before I even put my $99 into the hat. Even then, I don't intend to stop serving up more and more content, at the very least, monthly.

I strive to be superior to Joe Uncreative, my whole life is a fight against mediocrity and to announce my individuality to the world. Also, as biased as it may be, I think out of the people I've known to have poor grammar, ~85% of them were immature and irresponsible.

Kai, I will add more posts displaying various concepts and screenshots, I hope that pleases you, no offense, but don't mistake that for concern of your opinion.

To be honest with you i think your replies are dull and pointless (nothing but a rant wannabe), if you're feeling smart on a forum then please say so, if you give out ranks on the internet on how superior you are to others then say so...

If you have a problem with such discussions, I suggest you stop reading the forums, instead of trying to make people look bad with lame attacks.

You know, it would, subjectively, be really nice if you stopped being annoying. But it is not going to happen, so I deal with it.
Also, it is not like only scripters attack non-scripters.

Certainly there is no danger in posting here. Neither of us yields a banhammer, or anything like that.

... which gains your information quite some reliability.

Will you please leave the religious remarks out of this?

leave him alone unless you have something constructive to say that might be of some help to him.
This thread does not belong to the OP. We do not have to refrain from doing anything he does not appreciate, or anything that does not directly help him personally. This is a community's forum.

I am sick of seeing members attacked by other members who think they are "superior"
I suggest that you get some healthy sleep and avoid the forums until your sickness if cured.

I mean honestly now,
Are you implying that you were not honest before?

kai is "attacking" everyone
But is he not merely attacking those who display extraordinary hostility or immunity to reasonable arguments?
Otherwise, he only seems to criticise actions.

but you must be hes friend since you didn't mention that.
And you must be his mortal enemy, since you did mention it!!1

Absolutely, and that's a policy I wholeheartedly enforced when I was running the show here.

But in addition, maybe we should dethrone the supermods who can't distinguish between different levels of negativity, and treat every disagreement as though it's a sign of the impending apocalypse. For ease of identification, they also tend to be the ones that alienate new users by closing threads without proper explanation and berating them for deciding not to follow stupid rules.

Negativity can be constructive, it's when somebody deems the sake is God's, we all go crazy and flame you.


The guy is looking for a scripter, if you are interested, contact him...if not, leave him alone unless you have something constructive to say that might be of some help to him.

But all Kaimetsu has done was say constructive things. He meerly said that Raelyn should provide information about his project if he wants to help the scripters decide if they are intrested, past the USD payment possibility. Where, but in your post (or somebody quoting your post), is there anything that is not constructive?


I am sick of seeing members attacked by other members who think they are "superior"
Because on these forums, no one is superior over anyone....

And that's why you're a supermod, right? That's why you seemingly get off on deleting posts without notice/cause, and closing threads while confused newbies wonder why they cannot post anymore?

you are ALL members.

As are you.

Diehard christians should not be playing graal, because through GK it promotes worship of false deities.

I'm worshipping Balor now, IRL, because he is going to "put the smack down" on god.

Thank you Kai, yes, I am aware that christians are not the only ones that worship god or a godlike figure, however, christians are generally the most pushy when it comes to converting the rest of the world and in my experience are the first to say "You're going to hell." if you mention any other god-like figures even just for the sake of open-mindedness.

Which is why I related to them in that statement.

He was not vague in the slightest, and the very source of your disagreement was that he was (in your opinion) not broad enough.

Look, the root of the matter is this: He could have said "devout members of any religion that forbids worship of false idols", or he could have said "diehard Christians". Given that the latter is much more concise and covers the majority of the former anyway (within this particular audience), I think he made the right choice.

Imagine if a particular person returned every day to post statistics about the weather in his area, a new thread every time. Would we call this spam, perhaps? It is a fuzzy line, but it would be boring and annoying in any case. Now imagine that there are several sites dedicated to facilitating such weather-blogging, and that he has eschewed them in preference of Graal's NGRT forum. Would this person not, in your opinion, be in the wrong?

If he was a graal player, he would not be in the wrong, he would be an idiot, but not in the wrong.

However, I posted a single boring topic, I don't intend to do it daily, and I think being sick is relevant to the community, at least my friends, who would read it, and know why I've been down lately.

It's only relevant to you, it has no great effect on the community. The only people who might care are the people who might know you as a person (plus Moon Goddess, who pretends to care about everything).

And the same is true, of course, of our imaginary weather-posting friend. But he should go to weatherblog.com and you should go to livejournal.com.

Actually, if someone wanted to know the weather in his area, they could look it up, as there are already sites that document the weapon up to the minute around the world. There are so sites for my friends to reference up to date to tell them when I am sick, and definately not up to the minute. Anyone who would post the weather in his area daily is simply an idiot.

Not nessesarily how sick, but the fact that was indeed sick. Would you find it natural to open your inbox every day to 50 people asking, "Are you sick today?". That seems like a stupid and peculiar waste of time, when on the rare occasion I get sick, I could simply announce it to the surrounding community.

Do you really think fifty people would care?

Or you could put it in a Livejournal!

What if every Graal user created a thread whenever he/she were sick? Would you not get tired of it, eventually? What if we expand it to all vaguely-significant events in their lives and essentially turn NGRT into a big shared journal? Would you not have a problem with it?

What the hell do you think NGRT is? Take a look at the posts in there, that's what it's for.

NGRT == Information that is irrelevant to graal and equally useless to most other players, tada, my thread fits perfectly.

No, it's for discussing matters that could potentially be interesting to other users.

Good Examples: Politics, religion, computer games, popular media.
Bad Examples: Your life, weather.

Well, since I could give a flying ass**** about pop media, religion and politics, I'd rather go with games, and rare happenings. My being sick is quite rare, so I thought I'd announce it, and you know what, my being sick could very well be potentially interesting to other users, and who are you to say that it isn't? Are you the ****ing judge by which all things relevant must pass. You're not, and because you don't find something ****ing interesting, doesn't mean there aren't others who do, or that I don't have the right to post it anyways. However, you have the right to state that you don't find it interesting, and state your opinion as such, I never told you not to, or that you should take your opinion elsewhere, I only said that it seems to me like if it wasn't interesting, you wouldn't bother wasting your time responding to it. Which also, ironically, is my opinion.

This thread should be closed, because this is extremely off topic, besides, I've already found a scripter, yet it still continues to go on endlessly on subjects that dont matter, as a matter of fact, we are in one thread, talking about another thread that we are also posting in, is that not a little disturbing to you?

Yeah, only the imaginary ones. Something doesn't become interesting just because it's rare.

and who are you to say that it isn't?

I'm a person with a brain. Let me now use it to highlight the hypocrisy in your position.

You yourself argued against the weather guy's daily updates. Who are you to say that his threads aren't interesting?

No, it's for dicussing things that anyone finds interesting, and I felt that the events of that night were particularly interesting, so guess what, they are getting ****ing discussed.

Yeah, only the imaginary ones. Something doesn't become interesting just because it's rare.

Play GK for a week and try that statement again, don't get me wrong, it's a dumb theory, I agree, but you are wrong. Not just GK, there are a whole lot of boring and uninteresting things that are rare and people suddenly find them worth talking about.

I'm a person with a brain. Let me now use it to highlight the hypocrisy in your position.

Guess what, so am I, let me help you highlight it, who am I to say that it IS interesting, but wether or not it IS interesting is not the question.


...it's for discussing matters that could potentially be interesting...

I am having trouble thinking of something that cannot potentially be interesting to someone, somwhere, help me, please.

You yourself argued against the weather guy's daily updates. Who are you to say that his threads aren't interesting?

I didn't say they weren't interesting, I said they were already documented, there are websites, if someone needs weather info, they can go there.

That's not against the rules.

Of course it's not, I didn't say that it was, but it's already in discussion elsewhere, and weren't you the very same person *****ing about large numbers of pointless threads? Where was that hypocrisy again? I'd like another helping.

If they don't matter, why are you still posting?

Because I am home sick from work and bored out of my ****ing mind, you?

I am pretty sure GK doesn't disprove the statement. Here, I will prove it true:

I just used a random generator to produce the number 5317496468. This is exceedingly rare. Is it interesting?

who am I to say that it IS interesting, but wether or not it IS interesting is not the question

Then what is?

I am having trouble thinking of something that cannot potentially be interesting to someone, somwhere

You have a great deal to learn about interpreting language.

I didn't say they weren't interesting, I said they were already documented

The exact conditions in the square mile in which he lives? I doubt it.

weren't you the very same person *****ing about large numbers of pointless threads?

No, probably not.

This isn't a pointless thread. It doesn't become pointless just because you don't like something that was later posted in it. Again, this whole thing stems from a misunderstanding of language. The purpose of the thread is immutable; it is not dependent on subsequent events.

Because I am home sick from work and bored out of my ****ing mind

Then clearly it is hypocritical for you to decry the act of discussing things that "dont matter".

Yes, I mentioned it in another statement, what's your point?

I am merely ensuring that blame is properly attributed.
