This happens in a lot of games. But I find it most happen in the iGraal games. You guys are like "wtf are you talking about?!"
or "WTF is Favoritism?!" Well my dear Graalian Favoritism is:
fa·vor·it·ism
/ˈfāv(ə)riˌtizəm/
Noun
The practice of giving unfair preferential treatment to one person or group at the expense of another.

Now how is Favoritism in Graal? It can range from a lot of things. From Gangs choosing members and such. To people choosing admins for the server. I am sure a lot of people could beg-to-differ though. So I'll just have little statements. I don't have to much motivation to give to many examples.

The Layered Hammer. The only thing I could think of when I think of this is Favoritism. Why make a hammer that only a select players can have? I heard the reason was to "Give it to trusting player" if that's the case I know quite a few trusting players. But not one has this Hammer. So that just leads me to think, he gives it to players he really adores/his favorites. That's only an assumption, correct me if I am wrong.

When it comes to classic admins(or at least when I use to play classic HARDCORE) they can be the ones who "use" favoritism a lot.(Yes, I know there are still decent admins on this server) Especially when hiring. When I use to play you either had to be "famous" on this server or had to know a couple of admins to become an admin.

That's about it for this post. You guys can correct me if I am wrong on anything.

It's safer to hire someone who can be vouched for or has a known reputation/history than some completely random unknown player.

But it's quite unfair to most players, because if you do want to be friends with an admin, and you weren't friends with them before the adminship. They'll totally blow you off.Or at least most admins will.  

Again, wat?

Yeah not like that so much anymore. I am actually much less inclined to hire you if you are Graal famous.  

there might be favoritism in iEra but in iClassic we moved on from that having Albus as Graal police admin  

I'm confused

Yes, yes it is.  

I'm kind of conflicted on this subject, people shouldn't be excluded if they're 'graal famous' but it shouldn't be exclusive to well known Graalians either... That's why I think the new application is fair, it's not based in who you are, but more so about what you're capable of, and how you handle situations.
