Making this post to clear up a few points that people don't seem to
understand about being a GM. Hopefully this will help new applicants in
the future and they won't get shocked when this happens.
Yes we
are here to help people but no this is not a main role. We are here to
advise and assist. We are also here to enforce rules and by doing so we
are hated for it. If someone wants something and we can not provide it,
expect them to be angry about it. It happens but this is something we
have to do. We aren't here to be nice, if we have to tell something they
don't want to hear then we have to be professional and tell them the
truth. There are circumstances when we might be able to go the extra
mile but it depends on the person we are dealing with or the situation
and the proof they can provide if it's lost items etc.
A lot
of the GMs in the past have failed due to not fully understanding this
point, they have crumbled under the pressure of an angry player, given
them what they wanted and suffered the consequences of doing so.
And on another note, the GMs are hire from here on (until told
otherwise) are temporary GMs so you guys MUST follow every rule exactly
as it is, if there is something that is not fully understood then ask
first before acting. We want the best so the time you spend as a temp GM
is the time to prove you can do the job and follow the rules.
Teamwork is a MUST ! =]]]
