[3:46 AM] Hitman quit IRC ()
[1:39 PM] Sorrowsong joined the channel
[1:39 PM] <Ironhill> Normally I'd have Hitman do it, but he isn't around.
[1:41 PM] <Sorrowsong> Alright
[1:41 PM] <Sorrowsong> Can pay full attention to this now
[1:41 PM] <Ironhill> Mainly, your job in this is to observe the candidate and give me your assessment of him so I have something to compare to.
[1:42 PM] <Sorrowsong> Who is it going to be?
[1:43 PM] <Ironhill> Lemme pull up the app
[1:43 PM] <Ironhill> http://m4a.fate4gaming.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=338
[1:43 PM] <Ironhill> This one.
[1:44 PM] <Sorrowsong> What are your computer skills? I'm a fast typer. I know PHP/C++/HTML/CSS/JS.
[1:44 PM] <Sorrowsong> That line
[1:45 PM] <Ironhill> Mmm?
[1:45 PM] <Ironhill> Well, continents move faster than I can type. So it's something. :p
[1:45 PM] <Sorrowsong> wtb my dorms keyboard
[1:45 PM] <Sorrowsong> I can pull ~100wpm on that one
[1:46 PM] <Ironhill> However, I also tend to choose my wording very carefully. Appearances are everything. 9.9

[1:49 PM] <Sorrowsong> btw. What is portion control?
[1:49 PM] <Ironhill> For food?
[1:49 PM] <Sorrowsong> http://images.4chan.org/b/src/1357995852189.jpg
[1:49 PM] <Sorrowsong> Yes
[1:49 PM] <Ironhill> Oh xD
[1:50 PM] <Ironhill> It's the amount of food used in social engineering to combat obesity.
[1:51 PM] <Sorrowsong> Obama acually introduced something as silly as that?
[1:51 PM] <Ironhill> Nah
[1:51 PM] <Ironhill> Of course not.
[1:51 PM] <Ironhill> It's just burger king being really fucking cheap.
[1:52 PM] Ironhill sighs
[1:52 PM] <Ironhill> The guy messages me but hasn't joined yet.
[1:52 PM] <Sorrowsong> * Jonathan (~webchat@
[1:53 PM] <Ironhill> >_<
[1:53 PM] <Sorrowsong> Maybe webchat is retarded and hides invites
[1:54 PM] <Ironhill> Maybe
[1:54 PM] <Ironhill> Just using webchat in general is a little fail.
[1:54 PM] <Ironhill> Should make that a requirement for applying. -.-
[1:56 PM] <Sorrowsong> http://i50.tinypic.com/2yovgib.jpg
[1:56 PM] <Sorrowsong> Is fine
[1:57 PM] <Ironhill> If he tabbed away from it, he'll probably never know.
[2:16 PM] Jonathan joined the channel
[2:16 PM] <Jonathan> Hello.
[2:16 PM] <Jonathan> Sorry I missed it. I had some stuff to do
[2:17 PM] <Ironhill> Fair enough.
[2:17 PM] <Ironhill> We can begin whenever you're ready.
[2:17 PM] <Jonathan> I'm ready :)
[2:18 PM] <Ironhill> This interview will consist of several short questions which I would like you to answer as truthfully and completely as possible.
[2:19 PM] <Jonathan> Alright.
[2:19 PM] <Ironhill> Another staff member (Sorrowsong) will be sitting in on this interview for documentation purposes and may ask you additional questions of their own design.
[2:20 PM] <Jonathan> Sounds good.
[2:20 PM] <Ironhill> Question 1: How many hours can/will you ACTUALLY spend ingame? Are there any school/work reasons that will determine your activity during certain times?
[2:21 PM] <Jonathan> On weekdays, I can usually play about 7 hours, and on weekends Im wide open. I work at Publix from 8:00AM EST - 3:45 PM. Mon-Fri. School doesn't really interfere with my schedule.
[2:23 PM] <Ironhill> Question 2: Who do you associate with ingame?
[2:23 PM] <Ironhill> A. Which guild do you belong to?
[2:23 PM] <Ironhill> B. Which other players do you play with?
[2:23 PM] <Sorrowsong> Also, if you do have one, what is the name of your main character?
[2:25 PM] <Ironhill> This question is used to determine which groups of players you can represent and be of most use for. Your associating with certain players will have no bearing on our assessment of your aptitude.
[2:25 PM] <Jonathan> Honestly, I haven't played with many players much. I lost my old account I had about 1 year ago, and just started back a few days ago. Not in a guild atm. And my main is Backsurgeon. He's only like level 11 due to work and stuff. I just finished my college exams yesterday, so I have a full schedule to get on and play him, and level him up, and help many others :)
[2:26 PM] <Jonathan> Due to exams, I haven't got much computer time. Been studying for the exams.
[2:26 PM] <Ironhill> What are you studying? If you don't mind my asking.
[2:26 PM] <Jonathan> Taking Game Development classes at the ITT Tech
[2:27 PM] <Ironhill> Aha, I wish they'd had that course when I was going through school.
[2:28 PM] <Jonathan> Yeah- It's pretty interesting.
[2:28 PM] <Jonathan> I get my associates in about 8 months
[2:29 PM] <Ironhill> Well, that response negates the next question. So lets move on.
[2:29 PM] <Ironhill> Question 4: Besides banning hackers, and fixing players (and any reasons outlined in your application.  what two goals would you like to accomplish during your tenure as a staff member? Be as specific as possible.
[2:32 PM] <Jonathan> I think I really, I would like to accomplish making M4A the best it could be. I would like to help it rise once again. M4A should be mature, and don't let kids ruin the fun. I know there is proboablly many kids on this server, and that is fine. But we don't need them begging for gold and other items. Also, like you mentioned avoiding hackers. I want to see M4A be the best it can be. And I think I could help. People come on M4
[2:34 PM] <Jonathan> My goal also would be to help players as much as I can. (Without breaking the GM ToS) I would read and respond to all the tickets I could.
[2:34 PM] <Jonathan> To makesure every player is satisfied with M4A
[2:35 PM] <Sorrowsong> How would you feel about having to give a negative response to someone's ticket (e.g. their quest is not working and it is not in our list of "allowed to complete" quests.)
[2:39 PM] <Jonathan> If I had to, I would. I would just tell him "Hello follow player. We are very sorry about the inconvenience but that quest is not working atm; It is not working due to various reasons. I hope this does not interfere with your gaming experience."
[2:40 PM] <Jonathan> (sorry about the wait, I typed a long thing, and IRC deleted it_
[2:40 PM] <Ironhill> Webchat can be pretty inconvenient.
[2:41 PM] <Jonathan> Indeed.
[2:42 PM] <Ironhill> Question 6: Good communication is very important in being a successful GameMaster. How often will you be on IRC and on the forums?
[2:43 PM] <Jonathan> I will try and have the forums and IRC running in the background incase someone is having issues logging into their character, and cannot contact a GameMaster.
[2:44 PM] <Ironhill> Fair enough.
[2:45 PM] <Jonathan> If it is a problem I personally cannot do; due to my "powers" I will try and foward the message to someone of higher authority to resolve the issue
[2:50 PM] <Ironhill> Frankly, the gm staff we currently have is a bit bloated given the current population size of the server. Right now, what we're looking for are developers so that we can give our sponsors reason to continue hosting us.
[2:51 PM] <Jonathan> I see.
[2:51 PM] <Ironhill> You said in your application that you'd have experience as a developer on previous servers and have experience with C++. How interested would you be in working as a developer?
[2:53 PM] <Jonathan> I would do it if I had to.
[2:54 PM] <Ironhill> I understand.
[2:55 PM] <Jonathan> I was sort of trying to just lay off the coding for a bit, and just help others.
[2:55 PM] <Jonathan> But, I could be a developer if it was necessary for me to do so.
[2:55 PM] <Ironhill> Yeah, it can be something of a thankless job.
[2:56 PM] <Jonathan> Mhm.
[2:56 PM] <Ironhill> You're in -5 GMT, correct?
[2:56 PM] <Jonathan> EST. So, I guess.
[2:56 PM] <Jonathan> its 9:56 AM
[2:56 PM] <Jonathan> here
[3:00 PM] <Ironhill> Alright.
[3:02 PM] <Ironhill> I need to review the information that my staff has given me on your behalf. But I should have an answer for you soon.
[3:03 PM] <Jonathan> Ok.
[3:03 PM] <Jonathan> I just want to say Thank You very much and the staff for taking time out of your day to interview me
[3:10 PM] <Ironhill> I've given the matter some thought, and I'm happy to offer you a job as a GM on our staff.
[3:11 PM] <Jonathan> I would gladly accept it :)
[3:12 PM] <Ironhill> Excelent. I have a small list of things for you to do before we introduce you to the server.
[3:13 PM] <Jonathan> Alright.
[3:13 PM] <Ironhill> You need to create a new ingame and forum accounts that will be tied to your GM persona. You also need to choose a suitable name for yourself.
[3:14 PM] <Jonathan> Alright
[3:14 PM] <Jonathan> So my forum name/charactername has to be the same?
[3:15 PM] <Ironhill> Yessir
[3:15 PM] <Jonathan> Alright. I made a new in-game account
[3:15 PM] <Ironhill> But you've been through this all before. Just choose a name you won't get sick of.
[3:15 PM] <Jonathan> its JCaines
[3:16 PM] <Ironhill> Kind of like a tattoo.
[3:16 PM] <Jonathan> Alright
[3:16 PM] <Jonathan> So do u want me to login and make a new character?
[3:17 PM] <Ironhill> you can, but it's not necessary.
[3:18 PM] <Jonathan> Alright
[3:18 PM] <Jonathan> Let me make a forum account now

[3:51 PM] <Jonathan> whats the difference between between
[3:51 PM] <Jonathan> this client
[3:51 PM] <Jonathan> and mIRC
[3:51 PM] <Ironhill> There's also a guide on the forum.
[3:52 PM] <Jonathan> Alright.
[3:52 PM] <Ironhill> http://m4a.fate4gaming.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7
[3:52 PM] <Jonathan> Are you online? In0game?
[3:52 PM] <Jonathan> In-game
[3:53 PM] <Ironhill> The difference is that irc is incredibly limited and unusable in the webchat and it's only provided for people that lack the intelligence to use a real client.
[3:53 PM] <Ironhill> I'm currently ingame, yes.
[3:53 PM] <Jonathan> oh- lol
[3:53 PM] <Jonathan> Ok, Im online
[3:53 PM] <Jonathan> VoidKnight
[3:54 PM] <Ironhill> I'll have our dev flag your account when he gets online. Until then, I don't really have anything for you to do.
[3:55 PM] <Jonathan> Oh- Ok
[3:55 PM] <Jonathan> Is there restrictions of commands I can or cannot do
[3:55 PM] <Jonathan> like is the .add item available? :\
[3:55 PM] <Jonathan> so I can "customize" lol
[3:56 PM] <Ironhill> You're restricted to runlevel2 commands.
[3:57 PM] <Jonathan> Is there a "list"
[3:57 PM] <Ironhill> Before your forum is flagged, I'll give you the GM rule list. Again, don't share this with anybody. This isn't for the rest of the server to see.
[3:57 PM] <Ironhill> http://pastebin.com/feeDFLnj
[3:58 PM] <Jonathan> says This is a private paste
[3:58 PM] <Ironhill> http://collab.kpsn.org/display/tc/GM+Commands
[3:59 PM] <Jonathan> Can I use them all? Or the ones with "1"
[3:59 PM] <Ironhill> There are some slight modifications to the list regarding runlevels. But you'll be informed of those later.
[3:59 PM] <Ironhill> 0-2
[3:59 PM] <Jonathan> Ah- ok
[4:00 PM] <Ironhill> You have the ability to add items though.
[4:00 PM] <Jonathan> Cool.
[4:00 PM] <Jonathan> Anything else I need todo?
