I'm tired of you.

Name: josh.
Age: seventeen. [17 for those who can't read.]
Gender: Male
Type of Complaint: Misunderstanding
Insident Link: I'm not pulling anyone out; you know who you are.
Complaint:

For those attacking me, I would like you to know I pushed for 7 people to get into that event I created. You were the ones begging me to join that event, and I thought I was doing you a favor by giving you those positions. I probably could have lost my yellow color if I had done so without permission and you’re attacking Me? Of all people? This is my first complaint on your inactiveness and you really have the audacity to tell me I’m not doing my job right by questioning the activity of my event? I would just like to say in all respect, I respect you for taking up your villagers [insert sound ninja here], but you were one of the few people who actually asked me to join the event and what you said to me in the OOC thread was just the biggest smack in the face.

You know, I really just wish one of the people who had attacked me to really….think about what it takes to make an event and be a Game master, or hell, on staff. Game Masters have a hard ass job; we have to bust our ass to keep the members happy and we don’t even get compliments or recognition that people even liked the event or posts that we have made. Sure, I know you can’t get on everyday which is why I’m not “bitching” about it every day and following after you like a mother or father, asking you to give reason to your inactiveness or to post. Is it really so wrong for me to do that? Am I the f**k**g sith lord of all Game Masters because I care about how people perceive my events and why people aren’t being as active in them?

Well damn, what must be wrong with me? I want feedback on what members think of my event. I care about my threads activity? Well damn, I must be a psycho for wanting so much from my members. So, I apologize to all those ninja I confronted about my event because YOU ARE RIGHT. I should NOT care about the activity of my event; and I should just be run over and not confront others about the activity of my thread. It takes a lot to not complain to you all; My history perceives me as hot headed and naturally an asshole but I have been NOTHING but NICE and RESPECTIVE towards you all and what do I receive? Comments about me being too strict on the IIC time after I complain once, and only once; Attitudes from the people I gave spots in the event, even though I was only allowing [x] amount of people in the first place.

Pft..I can’t believe I am actually DRAWING; for the love of god, drawing, my worst skill; just so I can make this event more “home-made” and “original,” but I guess people are just not thinking that Game Masters are doing so much work. I guess you think it takes two minutes to make an event, right? It doesn’t. For quality in your work, you put time into it, you don’t just write it up and expect it to be all “ooh’s and ah’s” because it doesn’t happen that way. Just whatever, I can’t believe I am even caring what you all think about my events, it’s a job and I do what I can for all of you so don’t act like I haven’t been a good waiter at your favorite restaurant and haven't been breaking my back for you.

But whatever, I GM to serve.

Solution:

There is in no way, a solution for hard working GM's who deserve respect.

Nirashi. I love your event, keep them coming and I love your originality.

Ikki; Your event is better than mine and I can admit that. You worked VERY hard on it and I hope to see you in it soon.

Raikou; Going to take a while for that event, but people... It's going to blow everyone's f'ing socks off.

To myself; Josh, your event is cool. You show humor and illusion as well as alliteration to entertain not you, but the members in your event. Good job.

Hopefully this wasn't in any way directed towards me simply because I said not to base the village's overall activity on one event. I wasn't trying to attack you with that comment, if it came off that way. I definitely felt your pain when I was a GM because I had a pretty fail event where nobody posted, or people would come into the event, and then leave, and then come back in. I've had to deal with pretty idiotic people, but I definitely enjoyed doing it and as long as you enjoy doing it, don't let it bother you. Just shake it off, don't yell at anybody, and continue doing what you love to do.

Just don't let people get to you.

Josh, this is totally inappropriate for this sort of situation and I am a little disappointed that you took this route. What ϞeϞϞδn said was the truth, and I don't know how to put it any other way. Just because people may not be able to meet your IIC, doesn't mean that they don't care about the village or the event -- it just means that they don't have time to make a post within the time limit, and as the GM, you can proceed with or without them.

You didn't need to call anyone out within this complaint, even if you were keeping their names disclosed, it looks bad. You're the Game Master, and events, unlike missions, require a lot of time and patience, something that you need to show a little more. The activity of your event is important, as you want things to move at a steady pace, but guess what -- not everyone can keep up on those same paces, so it is your job to try and work with them throughout the event and make it fun, regardless if some don't post.

Anytime you need to discuss things with someone, send them a PM. No, you aren't their father, or mother, but you're their GM, you signed up for this job, not them. If someone goes inactive, you have to learn to cope with them instead of just blowing out complaints like this. It comes with the job, that is exactly how it goes with GMs on big forums like NFRP, which is why we did not have any for a long time.

People are entitled to their own opinion, and if they don't think you are doing a fantastic job, try to find out why and what you can do to improve those weaker areas, instead of getting offended. You'll learn more in the end. It doesn't matter how hard you work, it matters how smart you do your job. You can break your back trying to do five events at once, and just because you worked hard, doesn't mean you people will just praise you.

It's how smart you do your job, even if you only do one event, if people want to come back because they enjoyed RP'ing with you and liked the experience, then that is something to be proud of. You're complaining for no reason, and I hope you will take the time to reflect back on this and learn a little something. Keep working on your event, and if it takes a little longer, no biggie. Send PMs to your participants to keep them updated, and RP on your alts.
