Game Master Apprenticeship - Java

1. Name: John
2. Age: 22
3. Country: North America



4. GMT: -6
5. In-game Name: Java
6. Mu Experience: I started out playing GMO 11 years ago and have played several different private servers since then taking time off every now and then when my real life needed me more then the relaxing playing of mu did.
7. Mu GM Experience: I never have been a GM.
8. Reasons you feel that would qualify you as a good Game Master Apprentice: I am on for several hours of the day so i can keep an active presence on the server, which will deter people from using hacks. I know that a GM needs to be unbiased when making decisions that regard someone in their normal characters guild or in the opposing guild. I went to school to be an Accountant and with this type of profession i have a high level of professionality and know that cheating is not something that will help you to prosper.

Please feel free to say your thoughts about me from in game.

 

Y U NO CATCH MADOFF?

In all seriousness, he is online quite a bit and would help if there was someone to report to ingame who could take videos/other proofs when someone is hacking/being suspicious. And if he's happy to do the work, have at it

How good are you at recording video and uploading it? Would be a handy skill at the moment.

 

i know my way around the computer and know how to take videos and upload to youtube/other video hosting sites

 

I had multiple accounts because i wasn't sure who my main was going to be in game...to me it doesn't really matter in having multiple accounts and becoming a GM...since GM should be kept seperate from normal character and therefore should have separate lives on forum/in-game without people knowing who you are.

@Gix...is there a reason you brought up the multiple accounts?

@Gix...Although i like the idea of GM applications being public, it makes it a lot harder for someone to keep their life separate in game since people will be trying anything and everything to piss you off on your normal char (even though you should be able to handle this being a GM) trying to get you to abuse the GM privileges

 

It's just that we have had some problems with hacking this past week and it is the most pressing issue, that people want to see fixed and are motivated to do something about. It's not a bad way to start as a GM, catching baddies, getting the community to know you by reporting hackers. Catching people's bots and kicking them from guild isn't positive for the people whose bots they were.

And really got to start somewhere, Java is a pretty good pick if you ask me, haven't seen him boil over yet. Would be great to have an active GM to run some events or just witchhunts in the game. Once you learn it, there isn't too much randomness left. Nothing left to discover, no mystery, a good GM can bring that back, even for 15 minutes.

I need a slight break from the game, so I won't be online too much coming few weeks. And to be honest, not too motivated either, it's a great game with some great people, but I'm not motivated to put the work in, atleast not at the moment. Maybe someday.

Well I don't think this thread will be closed so nobody will know that you got the gig, unless you tell someone

 

I don't know you, but from what I have saw in the forums, you are a very mature person who has the right mind set. I would recommend you. Not because of the reasons I said, because, well, I don't know you, but the players are crying for a GM.

If you are going to give anyone a trial Gix, it would be him. My 2 cents.

 

You didn't have to bring that up, and for your information, I left due to job reasons. I liked to think that I helped out a little while my time as GM, whether it be appreciated or not. It didn't seem appreciated at all actually. I also believe that I have helped out many of people on the forums, and given you tips too.

Further information, I believe that giving an opinion on a player didn't have anything to do with my own past experience to give judgement whether or not he would fit the part.

 

Just bumping so any other opinions on myself can be said...if you have something against me please post it, also if you are for me please post it...

 

I think java could be a good ingame GM , he is respectfull with other players and have service vocation.
