Complaint:

I have been trying to get my first mission GMed for 2 months, I have asked every connected GM or moderator I have seen and have never been able to get someone to help me, the site needs more people to GM or organize events, we train our characters but rarely actually use them. So I tried to join the staff as a GM, I wanted to do my share in helping the site by fixing this probleme my self (at least to some extent). But I was held back by some stupid rule that said that I couldn't pm someone to check it out.

Solution:

The site needs more staff but people like me are discouraged by these types of rules, try to either take these rules out or explain them more clearly, why can't I pm someone?

It's not a 'stupid rule'. The reason it's there is to stop exactly what you did, PM someone asking them to check the staff app out. You clearly did not read the application rules, and that shows us that maybe you're not fit to be staff. If you had read the rules properly, you would also have known to post up an event.

[Minamoto Kaguya]

Seriously?
Of course, I realise that's the rule, pretty much exactly as you stated it. But my question is: why is that rule present in the first place? I can see PMing someone about a staff app being wrong in the event where there would be some unfair negotiating, bribing, etc, but here I simply missed the rule and treated the application as I would any other post in the forum by sending it to a moderator. I don't see anything conceptually unfair, compromising, or illegitimate in what I did. The least I could therefore ask is for my thread to be reopened and my application reconcidered! If you would not accept me as a staff, that's up to you to decide, you can even add a negative comment, but don't all out cancel my submission! I missed a rule! I'm human! And the reason I didn't post any events is simply because there was noone to GM me... Precisely my point.

Again, if you read the rules of the staff applications, you'd see that you can re-apply after a certain amount of time. In your case, I believe a week. Applying for staff of any kind means you know the rules and you dont 'miss' them because you're 'human'. No. That sounds like a pathetic excuse you came up with. If you had read the rules again, you'd see that when you post your GM application, you are to post an event to go with it so that they can judge how well you can organize events.

In short.

Dont sit there and bash staff on a 'stupid rule'.
It doesn't help when you can't spell for crap on my your application.
READ THE RULES and know them before applying~

Well sorry to rain on you're parade but I have other things going on in my life than this game and I know most of the rules there are to know it's perfectly normal to miss a few, heck half the time when I ask a staff about a rule in the C-box they don't know what the heck I'm talking about, I can always check the rules if I'm not sure. And it's not like the staff is perfect either, I knew a guy who got away with getting C rank techniques for 20 TP and B rank techniques for 30 until I pointed it out to one of the staff after he had had several staff fall for it.

Pointing out the flaws of assistants and moderators wont help you, silly.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I have other things going on in my life and it doesn't take that long to read over a simple rule, darling. Dont make a complaint thread and try to bitch at everyone for your mistake, y'know. GM's have their own lives, as does everyone else on this site. This site does not revolve around you so dont act like it. If you have 'other things going on' then waiting a while for GM's to respond should be perfect for you.

1-My point was to say if these guys made it to be a part of the staff what's wrong with me doing so, I didn't put that because I didn't think I would really need to.

2-There's a difference between waiting a little while and asking two dozen people without success, come on why after two months of looking can I not get GMed?

[★ KING K0NG]

Bro, I got you with a GM. Just wait one more day alright? I'm having some issues at home right now so posting would be almost improssibru today.

[KARKAT]

"These guys" they knew the rules when applying for staff, obviously. You didn't. That's the difference.

They didn't pm a moderator to check their application.
They knew the site rules really well.
They could at least spell correctly.

Also, spelling is a biggie when applying for GM.

And two, yes, that is waiting a long time, but i'm sure others have waited longer. its not like you couldn't RP on the side while waiting for your GM. Yes, we have a lack of GM's but there are only a select few who can actually do the job correctly. Not only is it time consuming, you lack the time to RP yourself, you lose muse faster and you have to put up with impatient people. NOT TO MENTION, they have lives.

I'd hate to see you in the chuunin's.

[👺 Usiel]

I'm sorry that you had to wait such a long time. When did you make a post in the GM Thread? And who did you PM? Send me the names of who you PMed and I'll talk to them. I also want to see the PMs too for verification.

The Rule however is going to stay because it's to see who has patience for the bio to be checked. 1. You sent a PM on the same day showing you have none, and 2. You didn't even show us some event ideas. Sorry you'll have to wait.

Everyone else please stay out of this thread. Thank you.

[Minamoto Kaguya]

I posted in the GM thread July 1st

And I'll pm you with the people I've asked and the request messages

[N A T S U M I]

Shall this be locked since this has gone to PMs now?

[Minamoto Kaguya]

Yeah go ahead
