You sure are mad about the volunteer staff putting in their personal time on a work night to do something for the 400 people who were participating. Maybe you should rethink your position on this server.
Don't like the event? Don't participate. You're confusing poor organization with a desyncing problem we had no way of anticipating (when was the last time 400 people showed up to an event on p99?). Once we realized the issue, we adjusted, and things ran much more smoothly. I'd love to see your 400 person event on p99. I'm sure you'd do much better.
Done with this thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] qq more about your free, volunteer run server, please. Your tears feed Cazic Thule. |
As someone who started in the servers conception, I will always say I appreciate everything Nilbog and the staff do to keep this running.
However, this arguement of "We spend our free time to do this for you!" gets old. You, as a GM, know what you should be getting into at the time you volunteer. You know the amount of work that comes with it. You know the population expects a certain level of quality out of you. You should understand that anything you do (be it GMing, running events, posting on forums) should be done with a level of professionalism. The whole "I do this stuff in my free time just for you!" is a shitty arguement. If that's your stance, then you should re-think your ability as a GM and step down.
It's like going into a soup kitchen, serving a homeless guy raw turkey on Christmas because you didn't cook it properly, then when the homeless guy gets upset you get pissed off because "Hey, I'm spending my own time doing this for you!". If you can't handle the volunteer job and the level of quality that should come with it, then you don't do the volunteer job.
I won't say much about the event, wasn't there, but it sounds like it was handled poorly. Instead of this giant RnF circle jerk thread, a simple "Hey, things didn't go as we expected and we apologize for that. But we did our best and we hope some people had some fun" would of gone a lot further than the shit GMs and players have been shitting back and forth.
