For quite a few months (if not longer), my activity has been rather unideal. With my focus on work, classes (though those should be over with in the first few months of the new year), and studying for my NCLE, I really haven't had the inclination to be too active on the server. The release of patch 5.4 really didn't help my activity, either. Therefore, I think it's time that I shut dow-
Haha! Just kidding!
No, but seriously. For the past couple months, I've been thinking of assigning a few people to act as interim 'managers' or 'secretaries' for Grak and I, so that certain tasks can still be completed. With neither Grak nor myself really active, GMs can only do so much. Therefore, effective immediately, @Loxmardin and @Reigen will be the acting managers for the server.
Some of their tasks and responsibilities include the following (this may change in the future):
- Possessing the authority to make or approve changes to rules and policies
- Acting as a point of communication for any staff-related disputes (internally and externally)
- Facilitating the recruitment and promotion of new forum helpers and GMs
- Possessing the authority to grant an approval or denial for proposed events (by staff and players)
- Granting permission on the use of lore figures for events
- Forum management (such as guild subforums)
- Ability to make a final call regarding disciplinary action
- Granting forum awards (this is a system we're using for the mentor program, but other awards will probably be created as well)
They will also have a few extra permissions that will likely be detailed later (particularly after I get around to setting them up). Note that they will be acting as a team, and any decisions they make will have to be agreed upon by the both of them. Furthermore, I'll be attempting to keep a close eye on them to ensure they don't destroy everything (and even if they do manage to somehow hit the Big Red Button, I've made backups of everything so the disaster should be kept to a minimum!
).
I suppose we'll see how they do, eh?

Try to never just say, "My character isn't interested in that adventure." A lot of people mistake this for good roleplaying, because you are asserting your character's personality. Wrong. Good roleplaying should never bring the game to a screeching halt. One of your jobs as a player is to come up with a reason why your character would be interested in a plot. After all, your personality is entirely in your hands, not the DM's. Come up with a reason why the adventure (or the reward) might appeal to you, no matter how esoteric or roundabout the reasoning. -(Source)
