About admins (my personal concern).
 
If Tl;dr, skip to the bold section

I'm seeing some of the new admins not taking their job seriously or taking their job too seriously. From what i saw today, an admin named Julius has cancelled an upload of a head because he claims its inappropriate, when its not.

However, the guy said something like " so the admin warned him due to "Harrassment".

Another thing i find kind of BS in general is the traditional "Friends-Only" statement
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...02085034_n.jpg
Basically, its where admins ignore major things and questions or problems by going to their friends first and hanging out with them... Even giving them Admin Powers temporarily... A perfect example is none other than Magic. Im not directly attacking them. Im just saying that they give admin powers to their guild members temporarily and have been hanging out or hosting events (Kudos to them).

Im sure some other admin guilds are going to do this but the biggest question is this: Is being friends with admins are going to be any danger in Graal due to this system?

Now let me explain before you flame me:

If i go up to a male member of an admin (Lets say, Ghandi from Magic guild) and go "Ghandi, You're stupid!" as an assault and non-sarcastic comment. Now what if Ghandi goes to NYN, reports me because of that one immature sentence and NYN bans me for a very long time, because he'd do anything for his friends more than the players (Especially in Graal)?

What if i had a long time rivalry with, say Andy for example, and when NYN gives Andy the Admin power for fun, Andy uses it to ban me permanently because he hates me?

What if someone gets admin power for fun and whoever asks her for something will get banned for 100 hours with a reason of "Harassment" because she only wants to use it for fun?

Im only using these examples to show what i mean. Im ok with admins and their friends but i don't want their friends having a huge advantage just because they're friends with an admin. Its unfair if they can ban anybody they want, get any hat/body/head they like for free, or get admin powers and do anything they like because they have been friends with an admin. Magic is the only guild i see whos been giving admin powers to their friends temporarily but they don't abuse it so thats good. However, im afraid if they're going to manipulate that kind of power and start claiming themselves as "Official Admins"

If this does happen, then its going to be an official direct attack against players in general and this will cause a huge rampage

What do you think Graalians? Give me your honest thoughts, comments, and or critique regarding this

I don't think it's possible to give staff powers to a regular player on their iDevice.

I don't know but every time i log in, i see a different guild member from Magic as an admin (Not NYN or Lady Gaga) hosting an event or doing something around town. Again, im not directly attacking them on this but thats just my honest opinion on this point.

You can have powers on idevices. but you need special permission...

Your idea of "staff powers" is 100 AP and some weapons. Could be added to an iPhone, but RC can't be accessed via iPhone.

Zero02 03-01-2012 03:54 AM

ah...interesting, you know a documetary can be made out of this

You accidentally bolder everything at the end! ^^

MrSimons 03-01-2012 04:24 AM

You see a lot of magic members as staff because a lot of them are staff... Hate to point fingers but A certain uploaded is pretty bad at his job because he seems to disapprove almost every upload he gets

Spoiler
Julius

Ace 03-01-2012 05:19 AM

Don't even get started with the staff complains...it never ends.

Sungwonc01 03-01-2012 05:44 AM

YES! Because I just didin't have ENOUGH of these damn threads! We discussed this time and time again. Everything happens for a reason, if there isn't a reason then me myself and I would be swamped with bans for raiding and taking a Magic tower. Now don't be a downer. Accept the fact. Get me to stop talking in fragment sentences to prove my point.

There's never been a Magic member who was given "powers" temporarily. All the people you see hosting events are hired. Like stated above, they would need to be on the PC client to do this.

I remember when Julius said to stop role playing as a broadcast message and then later that night they added the ability to propose.

Gambit Drakul 03-01-2012 06:47 AM

I just agree with Julius sucking at his uploading job.
