Suggestion: Make a seer for consistent events.

[GuardianKnight]

I want the ability to spawn monsters on a preset character on an extra account. I would like to set something up daily to keep the shard hopping. I would plan to do something daily at most and weekly at least.

Things I need:
1. Broadcast ability
2. monster spawn
3. Guard zone off switch

Things I want limited on character.
1. I do not want the ability to spawn trophies or items of any sort.
2. I do not want any specified GM powers other than Invasion ability.
3. I do not ask for teleportation of any sort.

I agree we neeed GK to have these things.

I was not paid for this message. (you can pay me later tho)

I'm not opposed to a limited Seer program similar to what OSI had. We don't however currently have the capability to do this.

Basically I am asking for certain powers without the threat of abuse infused into them. Not that I would abuse power, though don't want accused of such in any way.

This isn't a GK bash post, but I feel obligated to express my concern about such a request by such a person.

I believe that GK has good intentions with most things they do on UOSA, however, based on his often immature persona in IRC, I would not feel he would make a good candidate to represent the shard as anything other than a player. Though opinions may slightly vary on this, it's safe to say that our current Staff members are well respected because they know the game inside and out, are impartial and fair when enforcing rules, and one of my personal favorites, they are mature and speak with intelligence when they choose to communicate. This isn't a kiss ass post either, but we seriously do not give enough credit to the Staff for being the caring, non-cheating people they are. I can't stress enough about the intelligent and mature Staff members we have here. Derrick did an outstanding job finding competent Staff. I hope we keep it that way. With all that said, most of which is just my opinion and may or may not be factual, I think someone like GK having any type of ability other than riding his purple horse would not be a positive step forward for UOSA.

For a Seer type position in general, I think that our current player base has enough options available to them through NRA events and the occasional EA Staff hosted event(s). If we had, say double, more players I could definitely see a limited role being created for holding EA type events more often, but not much more often, than we do now. Additionally, if such a role is eventually created, I would hope they would be held to the same policy that current Staff members have about not having a player account. This goes well with keeping an honest man honest.

Based on the way you have worded your post, it seems pretty clear to me that you have no idea how the administrative properties of being staff work, let alone how to use them properly. Things you are asking for have different access level requirements, such as toggling guards on/off. The access level to do such, is much higher than petty things such as being able to globally broadcast text across the world. Being able to spawn monsters means you're able to add any item you want, unless they manually go out of their way to put restrictions on everything that they don't want you accessing.

I think you should do a little research on how the command functions of UO work before making such requests, especially ones that make demands in the title..

PS: I gave away all my stuff here over a week ago, make me a developer..

Come on now..

Monster spawns aren't that hard to do...

A while back there was an event with undead monster.

On the loot of the two main bad guys I found two spawn-tiles that spawned undead spawn (liches, skeletons, etc) wherever they were. I had a lot of fun spawning undead at random places for about a week...

UNTIL SOME DASTARDLY GM DELETED THEM!!!

[GuardianKnight]

So I should be excluded because I don't know the commands or the access levels?

My personality in the forums/IRC is to fit in with the rest of the people. If I limited myself to acting like staff when I'm not staff....I might as well have stopped playing long long ago.

I only even respond to this because sandro/ivy is calling my character into question. The only people that usually do that are in cA or 1 + 1. They tend to usually be just trying to get a rise out of me. So I wonder.

[Sandro]

Nowhere did I bring you character into question.

My point is that there are much more qualified people here that would fit this position, instead of the one guy who takes it upon himself to demand he be made the next new "Companion".

Your character, whether you are a scammer, a trusted broker, or anything of that sort has absolutely no bearing here. All that matters is your ability to get the job done. Lacking the proper qualifications doesn't get overlooked just because you say you are dedicated to said cause. I could care less whether or not you actually make the cut, I am simply stating facts that most every server admin takes into consideration before hiring any new crew.

If you know what you're doing, then sure, have at it. I think it's a wonderful idea. But if you don't, how many shard crashes do you think it's going to take before the entire server comes at you?

Shard crashes = reverts.
Reverts = angry players.
Angry players = forum drama.
Forum drama = cA winning.

Do we really want that now?

[GuardianKnight]

Obviously I should go volunteer on IPY to blow their server up. You know what the companion program on osi did when someone didn't know what they were doing? They got us on irc and told us what to do. Sure i don't remember any of that crap other than I spent 2 hours in IRC and wasted my time to have the ability taken away when they canceled the whole thing.

Btw...who is ivy?

Yeah, well OSI also had problems with corrupt staff walking into the carpenters shop and buying all the deeds off the Architect, because, you know, NPC's don't charge staff members gold to buy items.. Hand out your deeds to friends like its Halloween Candy. Take that and dupe it a couple times.. $5000 USD..

Also, if I am not mistaken, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Lady Ivy is also effyou on forums. Notorious scammer

Smash him Sandro

Sandro is in the Cult of GK. Don't be fooled.
