how to become a GM
« on: June 17, 2006, 09:16:15 am »
how would i submit an application towards becoming a GM.

*edit*

i'm asking this because i think that i have the ability to stop any spamming going on in the game and keep things in order.

Take a look at this thread, and feel free to post any more specific questions you may have.

Keeping things in order requires having a cool head - but there is a lot more to being a GM than stopping spam.

You know, when I was new to this community there was a saying. "The best way NOT to become a GM is to ask to become a GM."

What if you've THOUGHT about being a [troll] GM *rub chin*

(No Baldur's were, hopefully, injured in this troll.)

Well haven't seen many new GMs who didn't show some innitiative of their own so the saying isn't completely true, but as far as it goes for posting in the forum like this...... ;)

Ask GM Tarel: you have to grown in slowly...

And by the way, you can keep order without being a GM too. Be creative...

In many ways, it is easier to do it without being a GM.

Very true.  Most players listen to reason, and respond to strong leadership.

The second post in this very thread answered that question. If you have any questions on something more specific, feel free to ask. Otherwise, read the entire thread first please, links included.

The real question is "Why would someone become a GM?" If someone has the answer (or a link to it)...
