The funny thing is that the average player doesn't even know Graalians.com exists.  

Lol, Just respect their dicision and go with the flow who know's you could be a reconmedation

But one of the things I don't understand is, how? How do the staff judge? Personally, no-one chats to me, but my pm history couldn't be busier with people randomly pming me. It's a little unfair if you're been a nice person, but the staff can't see that because you don't chat. What I said is a little un-clear, but I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from.  

Evilxhunter will make a good pr. I think this system worked out nicely.

this part made me lmao

It seemed like a dumbass idea to me so I figured maybe iEra staff made some plan to make players be nice to each other.

Trust me, this way is far better than Applications.
We still use them as some sort of basis when checking out the candidates however. So it's not like we made them entirely redundant.

Probably a little more bias, but more likely to find good PR's rather than children.

I think top 9 players with most hours should take a vote on who should be hired.
that might be a good picture

yes so the people who are afk 27/7 will get hired?  

But, what if no-one talks to you? That could be un-fair

Your probably the ninth most houred person

nope

its not top nine get hired bud,
admins select the possible admins,
the 9 players vote on who is hired.
i picked nine because you can only split up nine 9 times without decimals.
so if there is 2 people selected they can not both get equal scores.

i bolded so i wouldnt start a flamewar.  

I too didn't recommend anyone, but I did leave my opinions for those that were recommended.

I will say, if you are a mature and good player, you will get noticed eventually...especially if you are always respectful/well liked within the community.

Trust me, we notice rude/impatient players instantly..first impressions count.

I will also say the following will pretty much not help you at all:
1) Having a bad reputation/broken severe rules in the past
2) Having players vote for you to be staff
3) Answering Graal related questions at start
4) Spamming staff or constantly asking staff how much you want to be staff
5) Sucking up to staff, having poor grammar/professionalism, having poor knowledge of the game/computer IT

Yes, because being afk 27 hours a day is clearly possible.

Guess I'm on the right track then.

- Isn't taking part in recommendations aside from counter arguments-

I don't approve of the annoucement that was made to players in regards to the hiring, it should have all been done without their knowledge.

To be honest, people with the most reputation with staff are the people who are mature. So saying people that will be staff are recommended from a friend(admin), is simply true.
A staff member wouldn't be friends with a guy with low grammar, immature and has done several problems in the past.
Besides the people that are known' are the people who are known for there gratitude.
