An Open Application to the Planeshift GM Team
« on: June 17, 2011, 07:33:58 am »
I recently applied to the Planeshift GM team, and I did it in the form of a >1500 word open letter. You can view it here, and post in this thread and express your interests in me being a GM to the GM team.

EBON 4 GM!

P.S. Remember: When everyone agrees, it makes the jobs of those in positions of power that much easier. So if everyone on the forums sends the GMs a private message expressing their desire for me to be on the team, their job is so much easier. ... Right?

I'm sorry, I can't take this seriously. Did you even TRY to use proper grammar? Seriously man, that's horrid. Just one small example (I could list more of course, but there's no point listing them all, it would take ages only to set up the list):

Quote from: Application
I’m a resident of Sherwood Park, Alberta - which despite it’s size [...]

It's "its"! What's so hard about that? Seriously...

Also, you consider yourself an oldbie when you're just around since mid CB? ... Quite a stretch. Almost insulting, even. Midbie, maybe.

I seriously hope they won't pick you. While you would greatly enrich the GM team and do a better job than all of them combined, there would always be the bitter taste that PS has a GM who confused "its" for "it's". Seriously, that's not okay.

Of course it is. It's an attempt of trolling the GM team.

Of course it's satire. It's otr, what did you expect from everyone's favourite troll? You guys have no sense of humor.  :P

I'm disappointed in you all. I left a post script specifically to discredit such rumours of facetiousness in this text. I'm an nothing if not wholly serious about this application.

EBON 4 GM!

Also, derula, I wrote an Open Letter of Apology to you. I hope this rectifies the previous mishaps and missteps taken in my application to become GM.

Indeed so. I am pleased you reacted so quickly and correctly to my critique. Please excuse my initial negative reaction to your application; now I see that you're indeed worthy to become a GM.

P.S.: You got the link wrong.

Nicely done! Keep on the good work, and all the best luck with that GM position! You truly deserve it, bro.
