Ok, here goes. My gamekeeper rant/application.
So. I asked how does one become a gamekeeper. The answer was seriously surprising.

"Just ask."

This is extremely strange to me. I've never understood where all these gamekeepers were coming from, or exactly how they got there. Now I know, and I still don't get it.

Asking and being active on IRC are the only requirements AFAIK.

This is not good criteria. People should be active game server admins and run their own competitions to prove worth before becoming a gamekeeper. Of course I would think this way, as I have more experience than most gamekeepers anyway...

How, you ask?

During old toribash_server days I successfully ran S1GN4LM4N/Dikarika server (S1GN4LM4N is my old name)

I have held countless competitions, giving away registration keys, toricreds, and items without and help or backing from Nabi studios.

Also, I am the creator of many modes. Most famous being Wudang Swordsmen (swords + wushu, which is now used in most twinswords rooms as a default mode), Tai Chi, and Shaolin Style. Also made the recent Olympic Wrestling on bouncy's server.


So here I was, sitting around waiting to be asked. Only to be told its a silly ask Veb thing...

=P

So, can I continue to make epic as a gamekeeper sometime? Or no? I'd like to think I'm perfectly qualified.

ahhhhhhh, lol.

I should have expected as little.

Also surprising is how few people remember my server anymore. I'm not even sure if MrPopTart remembers it was his mod test server for a short time...

Also, Juntalis, I'm not mean to you, I just don't understand your army of darkness. Frankly it just weirds me out a bit that you have a gang of followers to do your bidding.

And I'm jealous.

Oh, I don't mean "RIGHT NOW". I just want to be considered, ya know? I never even felt like an option. Maybe I'm over analyzing.

Buttered toast?

Youll be better than most of the ass wipes. Most of them just abuse there powers just because they have passes to most of the servers. You hardly see any of them hosting tournaments. Psy-T [Is he a GK?] is the only damn one that is Tidy and hosts tournaments every week. Jees some of them need to get off there asses and stop abusing there powers.

IMO there should be something where a GK has to host a Tournament every 1-2 Weeks if they don't they get fired.
Yea i think your maturity and likeability would make you way better candidate than some people ;)
Most of it is about hosting tourneys, as it seems to me, so maybe you should host some :>
Thanks for all the positive comments.

I'll return to my bunker of seclusion now.

I was unaware there was even a thread about becoming one (I've never seen it...), and was trying to see if maybe I'm just some old school retarf.

Thanks again for all the positivity. =)

2. i didn't exactly ask to be a gamekeeper; i was complaining about the bad performance of the (several months ago) current gamekeepers and was basically told something along the lines of: well, show them and the community how a proper event goes. after 1 completely successful trial (island survival 1) i was 'hired'. stayed around cause i was promised an item i wanted, and i'm still around as a. gratitude for receiving said item, b. it can be fun sometimes, c. the community still needs someone who makes decent events :P

3. it's not an 'ask veb' kinda thing. shogan selects the gamekeepers, not veb (although i'm sure veb has a veto if he cares to exercise it).

Thanks for that, Psy-T.

I don't know why I never thought to ask YOU. lol, duh. xD

May the spirit of Don Quixote thank you for me. With sexy results.

Actually, if you had come to me I would have made you a Gamekeeper on the spot (providing you reminded me you were signalman, I remember you as clear as the beer i'm drinking right now... it's clear-ish)

Shogan is in charge of the GAMEKEEPERS.

I am in charge of ToriAgents (Ingame Moderators).

There's a difference.

If you wish to be an Toriagent, Dikarika, don't hesitate to PM me.
And it seems pretty easy to attain aswell. All you have to do is suck-up a bit, be more famous than Ub3rT0aster1337 and be a below average douchebag.

Oh, and aside from my little rant, I think Dika would make a great gamekeeper, perhaps a better candidate than all the others in Shogan's election thread.

IM ALL THAT [/sarcasm]

You say its hardwork pat? Try hosting 2 tournys and 1 Video comps for 10k 20k 20k and you end up with 50k out of your pocket. GK is a Job to not so much help the community but provide the community with something fun.

Dik for GK. I really recommend booting some of the less active Gks. [Community WILL provide names.
Psy IMO is the only good working active one. And because hes that good I dont mind the 1-2 Week break after each season [If i may call them series/seasons]

If you has problems with Dik you has to eat me first D;.

Ne whos ill be ending it here for now.
