Ok, here goes. My gamekeeper rant/application.
So. I asked how does one become a gamekeeper. The answer was seriously surprising.
"Just ask."
This is extremely strange to me. I've never understood where all these gamekeepers were coming from, or exactly how they got there. Now I know, and I still don't get it.
Asking and being active on IRC are the only requirements AFAIK.
This is not good criteria. People should be active game server admins and run their own competitions to prove worth before becoming a gamekeeper. Of course I would think this way, as I have more experience than most gamekeepers anyway...
How, you ask?
During old toribash_server days I successfully ran S1GN4LM4N/Dikarika server (S1GN4LM4N is my old name)
I have held countless competitions, giving away registration keys, toricreds, and items without and help or backing from Nabi studios.
Also, I am the creator of many modes. Most famous being Wudang Swordsmen (swords + wushu, which is now used in most twinswords rooms as a default mode), Tai Chi, and Shaolin Style. Also made the recent Olympic Wrestling on bouncy's server.
So here I was, sitting around waiting to be asked. Only to be told its a silly ask Veb thing...
=P
So, can I continue to make epic as a gamekeeper sometime? Or no? I'd like to think I'm perfectly qualified.
