Brad's proposal

Brad · #1 07-05-2005, 11:27 PM

Dear Graal Online Players/Administrators/Haters

My name is Brad and I am proud to be an American. What I am not proud to be right now is part of the graal online community. When I need assistance from a staff member they cannot understand me because they are from another country. My proposal is that we hire someone who speaks the English language as their #1 language. Not 2, not 3. Bjorn, Sam, and any other foreigners please don't respond to this since I don't care what you have to say. Anyhow, this is not a hate-thread, not making fun of anyone, and not breaking any rules so for the love of god don't close this. I don't care who the American staff member is, just hire one. Now.

Love, BRAD

So why did you say it?

Anyway, Fry is right; we only need somebody that can speak English fluently. We don't need an American.

I'm going to talk to Bjorn in German and totally impress him with my German skills and then he'll definitely get rid of Bel'la Olplyn.

Damix2 · #9 07-05-2005, 11:34 PM

I try to help out players who need helping. Though I'm just a lowly EM, I have no problems communicating with Sam, so if you feel you need an intepreter...

Gambet · #10 07-05-2005, 11:49 PM

Stefan already knows of this. This thread was not needed. This thread will just turn into a "Look at all of my accomplishments....PICK ME" thread.

I hate arguing on these forums and I don't even try to start arguments.

Gambet · #14 07-05-2005, 11:57 PM

Burnt? Wow, you really are a child, arn't you, "ace"? (to Curt)

Anyways, Brad, something is being done. Things DO happen behind the scenes/things ARE discussed behind the scenes (out of public), you just need to wait til Stefan chooses someone (he's looking for someone).

Now, with that said, this should be closed, before this turns to a "pick me" thread (as I stated above).

You know this how? Have you wiretapped Stefan's RC client?

You know absolutely nothing - don't make assumptions.

Heaven forbid we allow this thread to continue and evolve into a productive discussion!

Fry · #16 07-06-2005, 12:00 AM

Hello Brad,

although I know what problem you have there, I do not agree with the "just hire any American" part, hiring anyone is generally not a very good idea as some "gangster" who will confront me with their "english", as you call it (considering that you said you don't care what American), will help me as much as a monkey, although these nice little animals are pretty helpful, actually.
What you want is probably a person who can speak fluent English and has a general knowledge of what he's doing, which is where we get to the problem we have right now.

Sincerly,
Fry

Intelligent? It's not much about intelligence. An English-speaking admin would just have to be experienced on the field/know what's been going on/how things are ran on GK. Of course, they would have to be able to speak/read/type/understand proper english.

Really? Or maybe I was just there when it was being discussed with Stefan?

Yeah, exactly, stop your childish comments.

he wants someone on when he is on there is more chance of someone who is a american who gets the job to be on when he is becuse of timezone diffrences and such.

and Draenin it just shows how stupid you are to steriotipe all americans sure there are hicks but thats like me saying every person where you come from is a nazi that hates jewish people or a french person who eats from legs although the nazi thing is over and frog legs still tast good those are person attacks on a persons nation whitch i find offinsive now that i just waisted my post for the day!!!!

Googi · #20 07-06-2005, 07:33 PM

It's not like there aren't any American staff. Brad just wants to have the most powerful staff on the server (Bjorn) to speak English.

Bingo.

Having an American events master doesn't do jack for us.

Draenin · #24 07-06-2005, 03:23 PM

Getting rid of all people outside the U.S. on Graal is basically suicide for the game. So you have to spend a minute or two thinking about what they were trying to say. Big deal. Live with it. Not everyone fluently speaks English.

Sam · #25 07-06-2005, 04:55 PM

Graal was developed by Stefan a german guy.
He is the Technical Director. The Managing Director is unixmad a french guy.

The carrier of Graal is in Europe > French > Paris
GK staff: dNeonb, Schlurfy, SmallLars form Europe > Germany
Lance, Malinko, Zero Hour Damix2, MasterNuke, Raziel, REW_darklink200 from USA and Canada.

I think its a good intermixture.

People would like an American Admin. Not just an American EM or Police who really have no power. That is not helpful. Im not talking about replacing anyone either im saying add an extra admin who is american with equal powers. Also Malinko may be american and at one point he may have had power on GK. But he wasn't familiar with much on GK so it was hard for him. We need someone who has played and knows the concept of items and everything else on GK. A non developer who mainly helps with players issues since Stefan does not have the time.

Personally, I don't care if the Staff member is American, Canadian, or whatever, but I think that there needs to be at least a member of the Graal Police on past 6:00 PM EST, considering that this is the peak time for players, and also most scamming/illegal activity happens during these hours too.

At last we have the support center. Golbal staff check the SC and they act if its important (a hacking e.g.). Scams can be reported to the SC and we act after investigations. Fact is that we do not restore scammed items. Check the thread "Rules" in the info section of GK for more infos.

Malinko is a PWA and have as all PWA's global RC, that doesn't means he have the power to ban someone on GK for scamming.
Graal Police have all the power they need to check accounts and to ban players. There is no Admin right that you need to help in the case of scamming.

I understand that i was scammed, but I am not referring to just scams. If anything GK related goes wrong after these times, there is no GK staff/admins on that can deal with a problem, and it's a bit disconcerting.

Gambet · #29 07-06-2005, 05:10 PM

Malinko = Doesn't bother getting on GK
Zero Hour = Police
Damix2 = Doesn't do anything on GK (inactive EM)
SmallLars = No clue what he does...I'm guessing he does work on debug
MasterNuke = Another inactive EM
REW_darklink200 = Another inactive EM
Raziel = A bit inactive (not as much as the other EM's)
Lance = Inactive (he hosted one event the other day after like months of being inactive and after the event he's still inactive)

GK needs a staff member that can speak/type/understand english fluently.

REW_darklink200 = Readded yesterday after a longer break on his request.

All of them except SmallLars can speak/type/understand english fluently. I hope it at last, because its their native language, but if you say they can't I have to trust you.

Are you kidding me? I hold plenty of events, just because I don't see you at my events doesn't mean I don't hold them. Do your research first.

I don't need to join events to know when they are going on. If you say you host events, then I'll take your word for it, but I just havn't seen you host. You must host when I'm not on.

Damix hosts more events than the other EMs. Sam obviously holds more because he's on more. I don't think you should be coming to a conclusion so soon Sky when you're pretty inactive now. You used to be on a lot, but not anymore.

The staff is fine.

Gambet · #38 07-06-2005, 05:25 PM

Sam, they are all inactive and have no power to do anything. Heck, even if they could speak/understand/type english perfectly, then that still wouldn't help.

Draenin · #39 07-06-2005, 05:36 PM

Quit being ignorant American hicks that just like to say, "We don't want no damn foreighners" and be nice, for a change.
