Hey o , is 4th round a best off 3 or best off 5

Passing the buck? Take responsibility. Look how many people are ticked off by your actions? You think Leah is responsible for that? She was reletively helpfull in the matter.

Ezio when u played 4th round did u do best off 3 or best off 5

I agree. The role of a Graal Police is loosely defined and given way too many tasks. The application should help determine what sector an applicant would fall under based on their interests, hobbies, and reasons for applying. Social players should obviously be the ones answering questions and hosting events. There's really no harm in having someone unsheathed on top of a building as long as they're mature. People who love to tower and spar should be... monitoring towers and spar. Generally the least talkative players; they should know how to tackle any issues objectively and unbiased decisions without making too much of a scene (If he's lagging, he's lagging, no ifs, no buts).

I don't want to get too carried away here, I had a wall of text typed up earlier but I deleted it because I realize this isn't the thread for discussion. Regarding the GST, I wasn't actually there, but I'd like to congratulations to those who won! The best thing to do from this point is to move on. The whole purpose of mistakes is to learn from them, so we'll do exactly that next time ^^

I didn't say that, which again brings up my suggestion about the graal police team being divided into sectors. Three to four years ago, admins were very social with players. We had NYN saying "Merry Chirstmas" to everyone in Graal City while riding a sled, admins giving hugs in Graal city, and even hosting guild events. I remember when I was in Magic, and Arichi hosted a guild event on her admin account. Paintball, I believe. It was loads of fun and she was actually able to socialize and play with us while she was on her admin account. I really miss this. I wish admins were more social with players like they used to be. I was watching Diz's and Arty's Graal wedding on YouTube (courtesy of Lia) and we had Flo as the priest on his admin account, a giant party, admins dragging people around, it was awesome. I'm not saying they should abuse their powers, but they should at least reply to a question.

Bringing up Poppy, what if she didn't see you? Did she have you blocked? This could be why she walked away from you. Also sometimes admins (such as Xor) are bombarded with PMs and at times have to clear their chat.

I do think they should do that too, honestly since I don't do anything in classic I would go as a "monitor" for towering but I guess that I could also go help with questions since anyway I kinda like answering question :3 Makes me happy to know that I helped someone out there :3

Admin's job is not to answer questions but to monitor the game itself. And it's because of them that the server his more playable mainly. Give them so respect.

I understand people being mad about errors, but everyone should know that every GST has bad calls. No point in wasting energy raging, post your displeasure with whoever hosted and hopefully they will have the sense to learn from it.

note: im with mike, spiritu vs unknown had like 3 re-starts which probably added to the confusion.



another note: how the f did unknown make it that far? never seen so many noobs going beast mode.

you missed an opportunity for more conspiracy theories mike

Hey eevee, its been a long time!

Graphics Team/uploaders= Accepting/denying custom upload, creating graphics in PNG or GIF format for the game.

Levels Administration Team (LAT)= Creating Graal levels with utmost creativity, flowing smoothly, and foreseeing and preventing any over-world errors.

Player Relations Team (PR's)= More are found in era than classic, although the idea of Player Relations is to be the middle man between staff and players. (Sort of like the avatar, the bridge between the spirit world and the real world.)
They are the ones who are supposed to treat all players fairly and listen to complaints and answer questions and respond to feedback- and then take appropriate action.

Graal Police (GP's)= GP's come and go faster than any other position. They are supposed to respond to reports and player PM's, although this doesn't exactly pertain to their job, they shouldn't ignore players unless they are really busy. Graal police are also supposed to keep an eye on areas looking out for boosters, hackers, nude senders, the list goes on and on....

Coders/Developers= They don't need to listen to your problems. Only expect to talk to them if you are their friend, if you have supplied helpful information/criticism on something, or if you catch them when they are taking a break. They don't owe anyone.

Manager= Xor. Only try to contact him if you have very important evidence of staff abusing powers.

Heck i think there is a event team now, but thats self-explanatory. Haven't really been too active for awhile.

All in all, only a percentage of staff really signed up to deal with your problems, while only a percentage signed up to monitor the game, and while i'm at it- a percentage signed up to not help with player issues at all and they just wanted to create stuff for the game.

While all staff should do what it takes to make Graal a better game, we need to respect many of them did not sign up for a position in dealing with little kids whining about gst matches, (of course- these people should definitely not be reffing them ^_^)

i agree with u
if a core is laggy. warn their team and summon subs, remove the lagger.

what I personality want every GST hosts to do is to record ONLY gs arena. they r all on pc, they can do other important/private works outside of the recording box. I used screnflick to record 2hours straight in the viewing room and got a only 1gb file. the quality of the vid isn't great, but u can tell who's lagging.

Stop posting about what the role of an admin is, this post is for GST complaints.

I was very satisfied. I entered the GST just to get a gift shop item and I succeeded. Plus my guild got a tiny bit of exposure for facing (and quickly losing to) Alumni in the first match of the first round of iDevice. So it's win/win for me.

Funniest post on here

Agreed. I mean really, how difficult is it?
And they shouldnt even need a text document to record scores. Or is Xor really hiring incompetent children who cant count to 3?

Idea: why not add script to GSTs for the game to automatically record match scores? And the moderators are able to manually change score if a match is restarted due to lag etc. (only problem is, admins are still required to watch).

It's best of 3 unless if you're in the Finals.

My team (Rasie) iDevice team lost to a team with all their members offline (PulseWings or something like that)
