So, I've been noticing a lot of players have been missing events. Some of which are suggesting I run for event staff, since Gaz left. So there it is. I'm active enough to run all the original events, and more than willing to work with other staff and players on new and exciting games. I remember when Trev started CTF people were mad with anticipation to play, I realize the player base is a bit small to run the original CTF, but with some tweaking it can be made suitable for less players. I show no bias, I believe that for the game to progress people need to work together a little better. All I need right now is support, so if you want to have something to look forward to on Nightmist other than chatting, randomly getting a pk, or clicking monsters, support this, and I'll do my best to maintain entertainment.

nope...you guys just got jase as staff on 1alt... so why do u need another staff to do events?

and if this is for main event staff, deffy not since you dont even play main... if we want events, we got a staff member to do it all we need to do is ask, and none of us really want events so its pointless

Let me clarify it for you then. Event Staff for 1a, since we rarely have events on that server. So if you play main, this isn't something you should be involved in.

[Gnarkill]

I play both.. and no thanks Ray... I'd rather have someone whos been around a while be staff then someone who just bumped back into 1a not that long ago..

You do know you have 0% chance if you come on here and recommend yourself

I think it's multi-alt that needs a new staff member more than 1-alt. Scripto appears from time to time, but everyone else is more or less inactive and there is virtually no development on that server at all, including little things like fixing a spelling mistake.

[Gaddy]

I do not really see how or why single server staff members are related to the other server. If he wants to be 1-Alt staff, the Multi server's needs have nothing to do with it. So it really does not matter. The servers are not the same game.

Expanding while the playerbase is so limited can make the game seem more daunting than fun. Though new things are always nice, it takes quite a bit of effort and knowledge to actually develop areas. I do not know anyone on either server who I would feel confident in to create a balanced addition to the game, except those few who already have.

However, running events is rather simple. It is a matter of putting in the time and dealing with the players. It really does not take much experience of knowledge of the game since you do not have to create monsters, areas, or items. It is also safer for the server because JLH does not have to give such a member of the staff team all of the commands, such as "Create Item", "Create Gold", etc.

Either way, I have not heard that JLH wants new staff.

I suggest starting a New Topic for either or both servers talking about needs and capabilities, rather than each person pointing out the failings of individuals who make topics about wanting to be staff.
The forum is not a good place to try polling for the position. JLH will take care of the public-approval side, if he so chooses or even wants to add staff at all.

[Crane]

A few of us raise random points and suggestions, but what can we do but talk? One reason or another means it won't get implemented, due to poor design, requiring source code changes or another miscellaneous reason. I don't know what players or staff want any more. In my experience people don't flock to events like moths to a flame.

[Apocalypto]

Gaddy ftw. Mostly. I think people could easily create area's if they didnt try to take it too far. By that i mean basically using the areas that are in game already and tweaking them to have slightly different levels of intensity, ect. And in addition to that, obviously keep the gold balanced and the drops in the same ways.

[Pureza]

/t Gaddy Doesn't the staff team work together on development, with some input from former staff members? Wouldn't that make the possiblity of a new person being able to create a perfectly acceptable area with input from people like yourself and the assistance of existing staff such as Elf and Trevayne.

/t Crane Yes, the multi-alt server could stand to have an active staff member doing some item development for grandmasters and to run the odd event when we get 15-16 people online. But, it's been stated by at least Trevayne that no new staff will be added unless the playerbase picks up in a consistent manner. So until we consistently have around 20 people playing, I doubt we'll see any kind of staff addition. As far as grandmaster items go, well Trev surprised us all with the platinum coin addition so you never know.

And

/t all haters Yes, main does still get quite a few people to log on so don't start with the, main server is dead bullnuts.

Well i currently only staff 1alt, but i see no reason why i wouldnt be willing to move into main purely for events. If theres 15+ people online. If i was to do this, i wouldnt be involved in any way with development, balancing or area construction. That is Trevaynes bag, and he does an extremely good job.

As far as 1alt is concerned, i do run events and moshes sporadically, but i am not here to run regular events. I do so for your enjoyment.

But i do have a few ideas concerning this, but with the playerbase so low its not currently worth implementing any further than it already is.

[Thaddeus]

Well, to be honest I wouldn't really mind who got the position. Was just a suggestion, I guess it's just the nostalgia of seeing events that are scheduled actually being hosted. I do appreciate what Jase does for everyone, and I appreciate the input. Just like to have more fun is all.

[tehbirr]

well gaddy, you can try to talk down at people for simply stating thier opinions on the matter, but i really dont care what you say to me ill still post what i want... im simply saying theres no need for more staff in the game...didnt need you to point me out outta everyone that posted after me, but lately you been giving me hard time on every char for sale post i make so i could see it happening here like it did, if you got something against me, take it to the game, cuz the forums isnt a place for any kind of grudge or differences of views to get other ppl joining in and starting a whole big deal over something so little... dont take shots at me everytime you got a chance to on forums...

but as i was gonna say, nominating yourself on forums thinkin jlh or simon will make you staff cause all your friends nominate you for it, is really not the way to go, your best bet is to make a ticket and wait for a response, if you dont get one, then you see they arent makin anyone new staff... and i really dont see anyone becoming new staff for either server after all the crap jlh got after he appointed the last person to staff... not talkin crap bout jase in anyway here, me and jase been friends on this game for longer then most been playing... just saying jlh got alot of crap from the pb over it...

and lastly, as for us on main gettin new staff if the pb picks up, since ive returned to main...slowly... ppl came back and new players begin thier experience with nightmist, but i really dont see us having a constant 20ish players on at any given time on a constant basis, so i dont think we'll get a new staff and i really dont think we really need it, im sure mark wouldnt mind throwing us a mosh, or starting events for us if we asked him to when he is on, yeh he might not be on all the time like certain staff, but hes on a good amount on any given day... so do we really want the 1alt staff over on our server doin events? i kno i dont no offense, but if that happens, i can see the bs that comes wit it on 1alt joinin him on our server and we have no bs whats so ever on there, so i for one dont agree or approve of that happening... like i said no offense to u jase, its nothing against u, i just dont want to see any of the followers coming here starting thier bs over some corny events... but as for the 1alt stuff goes, what ever floats yall boats as i wont care much anyways since i dont play... but have a nice day i think i said what i needed to

and i agree wit rj, i dont see how main is dead period, from the looks of it and seeing things when i log on 1alt from time to time, were more active then 1alt now a days but haters will hate

Mr. Birr, I really think you misinterpret Gaddy (here and on your for sale post).

Anyways I run events on 1a on a daily basis, I invite almost all of the people that are on my friend list and the prizes range from 100k to 3mill per event, I really don't see the need for any more. My friends always seem happy when I run them, I'm sure they would request new ones if they weren't.

[tehbirr]

well if i did, then i apologize... but i think i took it just fine

[Gaddy]

You are incorrect Bill.
1. Several people said main should get staff instead. Not just you.
2. I already explained the for sale characters post. And none of that was mean either.


So, I don't know what you are talking about with a grudge or anything of the sort. It's a figment of your imagination. We have gotten along fine for years now. Chill.
