I thank the Gms and Devs for implementing all these things in OJaveda .....

  The Gm's don't impliment anything we just police the game and make sure everything is how it should be, etc. Only the dev's have that authority.

I think Harnquist is probably running off to have a drink with the potion lady above the tavern. (Forgot her name)  They were a little cozy at Zorbels birthday party, and I have since seen them attend events in the tavern and sneak into the corner to hang out with one and other.

You could try typing   /redraw labels 

I thought it was /repaintlabels or do both commands work?

The only GM I saw online so far today was Noxide, and my petitions still haven't been picked up. They're bug reports, so I could report them on the bugtracker, but before I do I want to make sure with a GM that it hasn't already been reported.

  Sometimes the bugs you report have already been reported. As I said in my last post, it is better to report your bugs on the forums in the technical section. This is what I have been told by some Gm's, and Dev's.

But still, moderaters should stay on the forums, GM's should stay ingame. I've seen times when there have been 4 GM's on the forums, and none ingame, which by the way the servers WERE up at that time. It's disgusting to me, and I hope you, Ayake, can make a difference like everyone says.

I am not allowed to voice my opinion on the forums because I am a gm now? That seems silly, a Gm is only another player but with experience with the game. Plus we represent planeshift. I think it is a great idea that Gm's are active on the forums. It helps new comers understand and see how this community is. If Gm's didn't answer on the forums then people would start to get upset about Gm's "not caring" as they have done with the dev's in the past.

But at the same time, three GM's are on the forums, none ingame.

Maybe they are all busy. I know I am.   I am sitting here having my morning coffee, trying to stay caught up with planeshift before I have to go for a nine hour shift in a half hour.

To me, being a GM is a job, not in ANY WAY an award

PLease by all means stick with Zorbels. I am ok with that, people have become used to calling me that. The two characters just have different responsiblities.
 
*hugs* Easton my friend you are mixing up my example. In no way did I say that Gming is a reward. No way!!! It is alot of work, and that is what I was trying to get at. People seem to be expecting miracles from the Gms. What they are not understanding is we have lives, and we move on. We have other things that interest us and it isn't fair to strip them of their title because they seek out new things to do in life. Also we are a small team, we can only do so much. I think once we have a bigger team these issues won't be there as much. I do agree though, if a Gm is in IRC and they have the time to help a player but don't (or at least doesn't have a good reason on why they can't help if they are active in IRC), then maybe they should reconsider being a Gm. After all that shows they are not commented as they once were and that is just being plan out lazy. Idling in IRC is not a tell tale that the gm doesn't want to help though if they haven't been entering text. They could just simply not be there.

Instead of picking roleplayers, you should pick people who will actually test, and help others.

I do all of those things. 

So let me get this straight ....... because you can't find anyrhing on the forums about my testing the game, means I don't test the game? Well if someone asked me instead of just taking it upon themselves to assume I don't, I would tell that person that I test the game everytime I am logged on. I have always reported through petitions and IRC. I just recently found out that posting my findings in the forums was the proper way to go about it. Most of what I find has been reported by another player already.

Now as a Gm I have responsiblities. I accepted that I was to help people in game. For example if they were stuck and needed moving or a name change because the name didn't fit into the planeshift settings. I am there to take petitions, and help resolve any conflicts that may arise between players. I am here to answer any questions with answers that are not considered spoilers for newbies. I am here to help make more roleplay events for the players of planeshift to enjoy.  I am to report any bugs that I may find, or give ideas about the game that I think Talad and the devs may find helpful. I am here for many more things I am sure I don't know yet because I just started not even three days ago with being a GM ...... between my new full time job and a Gm guide presented to me by Talad I still have a ton to learn.

I think a few posts back someone mentioned only favorites becoming GM's, and I think that person was right, because I digged in Zorbels' history and found her in a lot of stories and RP events, along with a few others such as Rilar, and Keyaz.

Where in all of this do you see roleplayer? Gm characters are OOC, and Zorbels the charcter has nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with my Gm character. It is the face behind the player that got the Gm job, not the character Zorbels. Otherwise I would be using Zorbels for my Gm character.

I am insulted just a tiny bit that you think I recieved this title as a gm only because I roleplay or favortisim. Though in a silly way that can also be taken as a compliment. I recieved this job as a gm because I like to help people, I am a fair person, I am smart, I have been dedicated to this game for a year and two months, I have developed good relationships in planeshift with many of the players, I listen, I pay attention to detail, and because I passed the interview which has nothing to do with anyone but Talad. I have never meet Talad in my life, so I am pretty sure I didn't get the title Gm because I am favored. Also roleplay is a big part of the game, so it is an added bonus if the Gm has such a skill set. When Noxide (Another Gm) came in to game, I had not seen him once roleplay. He was more for the technical side of the game. People complianed to my own ears that he didn't roleplay enough to be a gm. Now I am being told I roleplay to much and thats the only reason I got the job .... well that and favortisim. I think Mirashi you should perhaps research a little more, because not everything I have said and done revolves around roleplay.

@ everyone: This thread started out being Proglins thread about his tournaments, and how a certain "TWO" people had been causing him headaches with his tournaments. I don't think it was his intention to have people gang up on the Gm team and begin to point out faults or have the public make up a system for the Gm team. IF you all take a look at the bigger picture you will see that the team is to small to meet the publics demands right now and the rules we follow aren't set by us, we just follow them.

Look at the list, some of these people are full time students and getting ready to go back to school after a summer of visiting family and their vactions. They may even on top of that have part time jobs. Some of them have full time jobs. Some of them have other activities besides sitting at the computer all day serving PS players. Some of them are devs and have other responsiblities to the game. Some of them have families they need to spend time with because that is important. One Gm I know of likes to travel alot and doesn't always have access to a computer. Oh and lets not forget that some where in all of this we need to eat, sleep, and meet our basic daily needs. Please keep in mind that Gm's try to do their best and will continue too. We follow the rules that have been given to us and put in time when we are avalible.

Now to address the inactive issue: If a Gm becomes unable to preform tasks in planeshift due to a busy schedule, I don't think that is fair to say that they should be stripped of their title. That is like giving someone an award because they are a great artist. Then taking the award away because they stopped drawing. How is that fair?  They are still a good artist but they have found other responsiblities and activities in their life and can't just focus on the one. So they should be punished for expanding their knowledge? Give me a break!

Try /die ... this command should have you respawn in the death relam. If that doesn't work then please contact a Gm that is active at this time in planeshift.  I would help but I have to go to work .....
