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.

Its not a club, its a job. Nothing to do with being fair. You'll find that's how it works in real life with real businesses, too.  

 

Kitty's rule  

Its not what you know its who you know.  

I beg to differ, I was hired on iEra and I knew literally no one on the staff team on a personal level. You can still make it in without connections, it's just harder. That's how it works in real life when you start looking for jobs or promotions too, so get over it and get used to it.

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

I have quite the history and reputation! Dayum, I must be gold!

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.

Just join them? It's kinda easy to but kiss admins, just ask jeni she'll teach you:

Lel, I've never played iZone before, and only knew one person on iZone (Because they were an ET with me on Era) yet I was hired.. So... Yeah, I can vouch for what this guy is saying.


*Having experience in doing a particular job helps a fair bit too.

What is it that you do anyways babe? Does your position require any skill?  

Why would someone unknown person with no proven skills or repsonsibility be chosen?
Also Albus is a jerk sometimes.  

iera that is all

lol what

This is an unofficial forum, why would my position here affect my hiring? Era isn't affiliated with Graalians, and Era as a whole doesn't support this site anymore. They haven't for a while.

Right, let's all make assumptions about people and that everyone that can ever be hired in any Graal community must have attained the job by kissing ass or connections. Mind you, again, I had not spoken to any of the staff on this site on a personal level before I was hired via application. It's called making a reputation for yourself. You should already know all about that though, seeing as you've made a terrible one here.

You just said it yourself, your reputation for you hired, and your reputation is only because of your status here (mod).
