For the purposes of this story, GM names have been faked, mainly coz its a fictional story....
3.30am Monday Night
[GM]Lightbulb: Blah blah blah blah blah smooth gaming experience
[GM]WorkExperience: Lightbulb, may I push the button to make the server go down?
L: Sure buddy, just wait till 4am, and press this one here.
W: Awesome
L: ^_^
W: So, I guess we got 3 hours to get all the stuff done, I suppose for this reason Monday nights are the hardest time for this job?
L: Oh yeah, during inspections we do loads!
W: What sort of thing? *gets out his notebook to make notes*
L: Well, we break out the xBox, and some of the lads have a Halo3 tourny, [GM]VauxhallAstra and [GM]Trampoline go for a swim down the local pool, [GM]Paris has her own website, so she uploads new videos of her ping pong ball tr..
W interrupts: This just sounds likeyou all have a laugh, what about the maintanence and helpin the game?
L: ...
W: So you feel the game is already as good as it is? And that nothing really needs to be done to improve it? So you dont ban bots or take ages to help players in need now? :|
L: Go make me some tea. And photocopy that copy of the Bible.
W: Hows that helping SRO?
L: Im in charge of yo WorkExperience, you doing that makes me happy, so SRO is helped
W: *grumbles and turns to Genesis*
Lunchtime
L: Ok WorkE, its time to bring out the uniques, you want to come see?
W: One sec, this bit is awesome, Jesus has just 2 loaves of bread and some fish but theres like LOADS of hungry people
L: Dammit, i said photocopy, not read -_-
W: sorry
L: Anyway, put it down, youwouldnt like the ending. Come watch how we do uniques.
W: *wanders over*
L: Ok, first thing, is that they come 3-4-5-6 hours after it died last time, generally 3-4 to keep some consistency
W: Ok
L: Ok, each GM takes a server and does the spawning.
W: Oh, i thought you just spawn simultaneously on all servers, like that time of the multiple spawns
L: We dont talk of that. VauxhallAstra's pet monkey got loose...
W: I see...
L: So you and I are in charge of Sparta today.
W: Madness.
L: Shut up.
W: Sorry
L: Ok, so we look at party matching, we can see theres parties for Yarkan, Isy and Uru. So if you push this button here, with the T on it.
W pushes it
Tiger Girl has appeared on Tiger Mountain
W: aww, givin the low lvls a chance?
L: Pfff, sod that, I just wanted to annoy the ones witin for uru
TG dies.
L pushes 2 buttons causing Uru and Isy to spawn simultanously
40mins later all uniques have gone apart from Cerberus
W: what about Cerb?
L: Wel what we do here, is we look in Cons. Just out of interest, have you ever noticed that we dont have a name for that whole area, so its just Cerberus has appeared, rather than Cerberus has appeared in... like all the others?
W: Yes.
L: Oh.
W: So anyway, you were saying?
L: Yeah, we look at cons, and you see theres someone at this spot who seems to hav been here since TG, this one for about 1.5 hours.
W: So we spawn by the one that waited longest?
L: No, we wait 45mins then spawn him next to this well known **** that everyone hates because hes arrogant and abuses people over notices.
W: You really are a ****** arent you?
L: Here's the Korran. You know what to do.
A week later
L: Ok, time to announce an event
W: Awesome ^___^
L: First up, time to add some new silk features. That is bound to make
everyone happy.
W: What about the non silkers?
L: Tightfisted gits. This'll just make them more jealous and want to get silk
W: Genius.
L: Thanks, i thought of it last night on my black swivel chair, while stroking a white cat and waiting for a gentleman by the name of Bond.
W: Right.
L: Ok, silk items added. Event notice made. Time to implement!
W: WAIT!
L: O_o
W: Give them something.
L: No.
W: Why not?
L: Last time we gave them masks and shitloads of really quite useful scrolls, all they did was whine that the masks didnt do anything. It was meant to make them buy Wizard things, as they did do things. Why cant they all be more like Ice_Cube?
W: who?
L: NAO!!!!!
W: oh him yeah. he really embraced the potter suits didnt he?
L: Yes. *implements event*
L points to a feedback screen
L: Now you see, already thres all these complaints from non-silkers
W: Want meto reply to them all?
L: Nah, just select all, and click this button.
W: That says delete.
L: Yes it does. Can you guess what it does?
W: If I say what I'm thinking, are you gonna give me that copy of the Torah?
L: Yes.
W: Just before I say im gonna quit, how much do you guys get paid for pretty much doing bugger all?
L: *writes down a figure*
W: O_O
W: I'd like to be known as [GM]Faust please.
