Your meaning isn't the problem. You've repeated your little mantra enough times to ensure that. No, the problem is that you're throwing insults and assertions without any backing whatsoever. You're making accusations and then yelling that I don't understand whenever I challenge you to support them.

Quote:

Unfair = Not just
And now you're just hiding one definition behind another.

The word 'just', as a synonym of 'fair', means unbiased, even-handed, in accordance with rules. Does this conflict with the reasons behind VT's ban?

You really shouldn't argue semantics with me, Donald. It's one of my strongest suits and one of your weakest.

Velox Cruentus 05-24-2005 06:38 AM

Donald, you're at loss here. Give it up before you lose too much.

Kaimetsu... You have a special skill to direct whatever the thread subject is to something completely different.

Myself... I should stop dictating to other people.

And VT... :) Bring us news from time to time what happens to you. I wouldn't want to hear that you got in a car acciedent when you should have been busy playing a relitively safe game (in comparision to other life activities)!

Hrm... Let's see... Anything else? I don't believe so.

Who was the nerd that kept saying I lost my relationships because of Graal? Girls come and go. I'm with the right one now though. Ya'll act like you've never dated before. That or you just aren't on my level of game-spitting. GET ON MY LEVEL!
Good riddance to the thread owner.

That's fine. I have no problem with being banned. The fact is, it is a combination of paying for an account, spending my "graal time" working, and then not even being able to get any sort of moneys worth from it.

It's a shame stupid people inhabit the earth. Because then they have children, who I have to talk to.
Once again, it is not solely being banned from the forums. It is being banned and paying for Graal, which everyone does, but everyone does not work for Graal. I should have had a free account, in other words, like several global staff members do.

Debug is just a replica of GK, where GK work is done. Why would you need debug access, other then to talk to the other staff? For that you use email.

Have you tried emailing Stefan? He's a busy man. If I need something done that is urgent, it is far easier to go talk to Stefan on debug than trying to email him. Once again, you are shortsighted.

I believe they invented things such as email, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, etc. Why would you need to post things on the forums? If you needed anything posted on the forums, then you could've spoken to the higher staff for permission for someone else to post something for you.

1) Posting on the forums for someone else is illegal. If you suggest that it isn't for higher staff, then I guess I really would be getting special treatment.
2) Email, AIM, MSN and Yahoo are great, except people don't use those all of the time and email is regularly spammed. Since you aren't a global, you wouldn't know that 99% of the email I used to get was spam, and AIM/MSN/Yahoo are not great when you need to leave someone a message.

Based on his[Rabid's] own admissions, I must be doing something right which he doesn't know about, so who is he to criticize my reasons? For the last year, I've done Graal too. The fact is, Graal hasn't really treated me well enough to keep it up when I could be putting that time toward someone who actually cares about me.

Don't worry, when my account runs out, I'm not re-upgrading.

I realized that I'm actually cheating myself out of what I payed for if I don't make use of what time I have left, so I might as well counterbash.

If you want free gold time, then you should earn it. I know of many people that have earned free gold, and even some have earned a life time of gold, but the thing is that they earned it. You dont just get special priviledges when you are hired. A lot of people that have earned free gold are not even global, but they have earned it. You can't expect them to give give give, when you don't earn it.

If email is the only way of contacting Stefan, well, then that's a pretty big problem, especially for globals.

1) Did you read what I said at all? I said GET PERMISSION FROM HIGHER STAFF FIRST. If you get permission, then by all means it would be very legal. You wouldn't be getting special treatment, you would just be having someone post up your work since you wouldn't be able to at the time. Also, you are not the only PWA member. If you needed something done that you couldn't do due to lack of rights or lack of being able to post on the forums or lack of being able to contact someone, then you should've spoken to the rest of your team about it. You really dont seem like a "team player", and from what you've said, you just joined the team to get special priviledges and rights, which I find sad.

Congratulations, and most of us oldbies have worked hard for over 4 years. So, what will you tell me, that we havn't worked for Graal Online? Well, if you think about it, we very much have. If it wern't for the servers that the players made, then Graal Online would not be very successful. Do we have the "title" of working with Graal Online? No, we don't, but each and every developer does work for the company in some way or another.

There should be other means of contacting Stefan then just debug. Either way, it's still a problem.

What's your job? PWA. I don't need to work with/for you to have to know how you work. Your job is with the players, not with your teammates. You should be showing the players how well you are, not your own teammates. If most graalians are clueless as to who you are or let alone what you have done to contribute to the game, well, then that's a major problem. If you can't show me how well you can do your job, then I guess that means you are not very good at it.

If only I knew what work this was. I've seen about one or two reviews from you. I don't think you've worked enough to go rambling that you've been in the team for nearly two years, because you've contributed enough work to bloat for only a good month or two.

Heck, I've worked harder then he has, and I don't expect anything in return. I've been doing "PWA" work most of my time on Graal, but I don't do it to get something in return, I do it for the players. It seems VT just wants special priviledges, which is why he joined the team.

Yea, FAQ positions are really tough. Try managing two servers, and financing a third. At the same time, where the financed one has yet to be fixed, even though I lodged a complaint the day I purchased it, over a month ago

Haha. Us oldbies?
How about this:
Picture yourself a global admin. People message you all the time. You give out your only personal instant messenger screen name so that you can address issues ASAP. You are pretty much on-duty every second you're on the computer. That's me.
It takes a great deal of patience to listen to some of these people and solve their problems, especially when they can be so silly.

Uh, you said I wasn't a team player. If you want to know the extent of my teamliness, ask my team mates. Otherwise, shut up.

You don't see what happens behind closed doors and you make these assumptions. You're pathetic. Go outside, the short bus is waiting.

Yea, but you knew you were going to pay when you volunteered, right? I mean Stefan didn't give away gold to every volunteer, it wasn't a surprise to you when you didn't get free gold right?

Besides, if you did get free gold for being staff every Tom, ****, and Joe would want to be a staffer!

It didn't surprise me at first, no. But more and more people are getting "global staff accounts", meaning they get free access. I think that should be extended to me as well.

Most of them do want to be staffers, simply because they get recognition and power.
