Hiring - realize how players act
 

Please remember that this is not a complaining thread, it's a thread to realize how players act (if you haven't already).

Today when I logged on, I could see this crowded area around start with players saying "answering any graal related questions!", "dropping items randomly!". And the people that had hope "give me rares and i vote for you!".
After checking the news, I realized they were hiring for player relations, and that this time; no applications is involved.

I quote Kane (aka Herb_P2P);
This is something that can be tough for the staffs/admins. To see how they interact with others, and how they act.

"Answering any graal related questions!"
Are you one of the players that want to get hired? May I ask you, did you answer peoples questions kindly, before they released the news about they were hiring? I believe I could say 90% didn't, because when I've asked some players where I could get their hat, or how I could get the facebook axe/gun, they all turned there back to me, or acting "fu\cking idiot find it out yourself". But now? Now they answer peoples questions kindly, like they have always done it.

"Dropping items randomly!"
Some people see being admin is to give away free items, and make players happy. But it isn't. When dropping away stuff in the start area they can only hope that people will "vote" for them. Because I don't think any admin will hire a person who drops stuff all around the place.

"Give me rares and I vote for you!"
Dear newb, there is no voting system. The only way you can "vote" on someone is to put there name in your status like "Wester for PR". No admins (hopefully??) will go around and look through peoples status to see who they "voted" for.

RC (Remote Control)
If I would go out there asking a random person what the RC is, they would go like "that isn't graal related??". But it is, RC is one of the most important things when it comes to handle an admin work, or taking care of a whole server. If you can't handle a RC, you aren't hired as much as I get it.

Let's go back
Let's go back to that admins choose how they feel this time, and how they see people act. This ends up more people want to become friends with the admins. I can really see how Kane, LavaClaw, and maybe even Peter sitting there "chilling" at start area getting spammed with 10pms per second.

And to just let all of you see how low a player can go to get hired, I will quote a guy I found earlier today. No name mentioned.
If you think this is some thread I've created to show you that I'm not one of them, and that will get me hired; you're wrong. I'm not really interested in ending up like those people have. If an admin choose me, of course I will give it a try. But I won't change the way I act to become admin. In fact; all the people that have had to change themself to become an admin will some day get tired of it and resign themself/getting fired.

THIS. WHOLE. THING.

Just trust the admins bro

Yea lol, they will pick the right people, the funny thing is you can get all the info from here

I can only say that the quote
is wrong. I havn't been famous on iEra and I think I have been just known by Layerd and snk a little bit since he helped me once on a previous server were I had problems with a script or something like that.

But I really like this thread since I always thought the same thing, doesn't matter if on iClassic or iEra. I don't know how they will choose the new PRs but I think this time it could be interesting

Agreed. It's what the player is actually like, not just they're application.

I believe you have been to big help around this forum, and that is probably why you was going to be a good PR.

Was going to submit an app the second round time they announced them, but just read Herb's post. Guess its all down to whether I am noticed now.

I don't think all players will be noticed by them.

What is also funny is the way people starts making threads here for being hired ;)

pls gibe admin

There actually was a point where I wanted to script for iEra and iClassic when they first came out, but then the hope I had for the servers devolved into the really crap stuff they have today.

Well Wester, nice thread, but i'm pretty sure everyone on the forums knows what to do, this thread would really be helpful if they somehow put it on iEra so everyone can see it. But the really weird thing is, since they said they have been hiring for PRs, it seems like everyone is acting so nice, almost like they have always been nice. For example, this morning (I won't say his name) A guy apologized to me, because he used to be mean. Really though, if they weren't hiring PRs, he would have never apologized.

I really like how people are acting now, but soon it might get out of hand.

And also, I saw someone in the Events House saying exactly this: "VOTE ME BECAUSE I GIVE FREE STUF AND LOVE HOSTIN EVENTS MOSTLY LAZER TAG"

and this:

"I love answering questions! Any Era related questions If you don't speak Engilsh, I speak 7 langs.!"

and this:

"I JUST WON RUSH YAY! VOTE FOR ME CUZ I WIN EVENT LAST ROND!"

I don't see how managing 1000's of applications is harder than picking through a boatload of people acting all perky and "helpful" people to find legitiment PRA material...

It's because about 1500 players play iEra. Lets say 500 of them are newbies, and barely know how to play, or they are just players that don't want to apply, or they are kind of new to Graal, but not so much a newbie. So there is 1000 left. All the 1000 players send in that application, all to 1 email. iEra only has a few people reading the applications, probably 3-4 people, reading 1000 applications. On iEra, the 3-4 Staff members can just look around, or watch people they think are fit to be a PR, and they just have to watch their actions, instead of reading 1000 applications.

i love your quote
