New Manager Recommendations
 

Well, people have been saying that theres a new manager, some are saying there still is'nt.

So just incase there is'nt, post here who you would recommend should be manager of graal2001.

I personally feel that konidias would be fit for such a job.

Why?

I recommend Stefan. That's the only way it will ever happen.

Makes little difference.

The point of it making a differance is'nt really the aim. I just want to know who players want as the graal2001 manager. And whoever is making the decision, this may help them make the decision.

No one. Let it go.

Script an advanced AI DSS NPC to be manager.

Nerd!

Dude.. thats an amazing idea!

My Npc Server will be running my server now ;D

There are few people left who have the skill, or dedication to try to bring back a server which failed revival twice.

That means the server has been visible, and been able to be played by Gold/VIP and/or Classic accounts three times.

It was amazing to start with
It was fairly average on the second time around
now its just quite sad.

You cant draw blood from a turnip, or quit beating a dead horse.

I dunno which saying fits here.

How optimistic you are! :P Just because two people failed to revive it for obvious reasons, doesn't mean we should bury it and let all that work go to waste. It's not like both times it was re-released, the server was fresh and new and awesome and just nobody wanted to play it. It was the same old crap, with more bugs and less things working than the original.

It's been taken in the wrong direction. That doesn't mean it can't be taken in the right one. :)

Yeah but then you missed the other 10 thousand threads where ive said the same thing as you just said there.

Then you counter with an amazing "but I forum pmed stefan and he wont respond" or something like that.

Then everyone else steps in with the "Hey lets not try again because all the other times have failed"

I suppose you know a lot more about GO then most people because of your former positions, but I would venture to say there isnt that much to figure out about how they operate.

Well, he responded.

I also am probably not in the wrong nor too far off base due to your short answer and lack of explaining in saying that the answer was most likely in your favor?

revival is about dedication and resources. dedication is something you have to have and keep hold of, and resources come to those who dedicate time and work on building firm connections.

i reckon pretty much anyone can revive 2k1. you just need someone who is committed to having a strong team that communicate to each other, share out a fair workload, have plenty of strengths that assist in each other's weaknesses and has a vision and set of goals that are reachable - i.e: that don't need constant backup or support from Stefan, etc.

the greatest of all graal downfalls is the abuse of power. everyone's been a victim of it, in one way or another. the only way to prevent it is to make power disinteresting to the team.

the key thing is to never 'release' a playerworld to the public unless you have either:

a: prepared with a team of people to constantly think of new, interesting and fun events to entertain players until there are more things to do themselves

b: finished a large portion of things for players to do. what's been the biggest problem in like, EVERY graal playerworld? unfinished things. oh yes, you can be a fisherman, or a miner, or a blacksmither, or a flippin' poopsmith. but heaven forbid the NPCs, the skills, and the quests to give you these abilities are ever actually completed before the server hits 100 players in the list, then bombs in a kamikazee mixture of flailing staff egos, abuse, neglect and social life interruptions.

i could guarantee that 2k1 could even be a fun server to play on within this week if i had a team of 5 other dedicated like-minded people to help. maybe even less than 5. but i don't, and i don't have the time, dedication or reason to do it. :]

so, let's wait patiently for the same old same old. new tiles, new fishing, new this, new that. what i look forward to is the direction these new things are led in.

"I could colonize mars in a week if I had a team of enough dedicated people."

Talk is cheap.

I'm making sure my release is anything but "same old same old". I can guarantee that nobody will be able to do everything on the server in one week. Possibly even one month. Possibly even longer.

My plan is that when people sign on the server for the first time, they won't want to leave. They also won't run out of things to do. I want it to grab you and hold on to you for as long as it possibly can. Like the strongest drug you can get. :P

now now, don't take it out of context. my point is anyone can be a manager, it's whoever does what they say that seperates themself as a black sheep.

i'm glad you're planning to revolutionise the norm a bit. i totally look forward to it and i'm certain you can do it.

The failure of Graal 2001 lies with the word "revive". People really just want a server with a above-average community that holds to Graal 2001's main principles -- we don't need a revival.

Those who cannot conceptualize my meaning will probably go to dictionary.com and provide me with the definition. The connotation of "revive" is the problem.

It needs a new body. Everyone can discuss what is needed for a revival, but it needs new. Konidias knows that.

Lyndzey should be manager.

Why?

Meh, I personally liked the GraalOnline community more before Graal2001 was made.

Why not?

Word.

I was just curious as to why he thought that is all.

Lyndzey should be manager, and I should be co manager.

Well, Lyndzey has been there for a lonnnngggg time.

As I understand, Lyndzey was the one that offered it to Koni after it was offered to her.

Id be a better manager then most of you clowns. You guys get the job and you dont do jack squat.

Dude, just shut it already, seriously. If you want to complain about who is running what, and how they're running it, get yourself a team together, get $100, and buy yourself a playerworld. Nothing's stopping you from going out and managing your own server besides the financial investment.

You're sitting here and griping before Koni has even had a chance to release what he's done, which isn't productive at all.

I certainly hope you manage a server better then you claimed to be able to lead a Kingdom.

Those previous comments just came from a "RP fanatic" and a so called "Kingdoms Admin" which by the way, you shouldnt even have a RC for that job you run guilds for the server not the server itself. Gryffon go stick your head up your ass you should honestly quit this game altogether.

Agreed. :cool:

An RP fanatic in-charge of roleplaying on a server? Sounds good.

I'll just reply to the only not-horribly-bias statement you made, namely the RC issue. I -didn't- have RC on the server. Thank you for assuming, though it would have been an easment if I had RC.

I thought you were present for Vermain's reign? Surely you remember how essential RC was to a great many of his sudden, RP-spurring events and happenings.

How very mature. And such proof that you can run a server better than all of those clowns.

Don't forget your unicycle!

The matter of who makes the comments, does not make them any less valid.

Haha. Right, so you're who again?
Oh, wait. You're that egocentric from earlier in the thread. Right, I remember you now.
