Hello everyone!

I am Sarge, your new community coordinator and board tyrant. I'm taking over for Ash as of today. I'd like to ask everyone to please review the posted rules here (http://boards.lineage2.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=796&page=0&view=collapsed &sb=5&o=&fpart=1#796 ) and here (http://boards.lineage2.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=95231&page=0&view=collaps ed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#95231) , just so we're all starting on the same page. I'll be taking those rules fairly literally - consider yourselves forewarned.

Y'all will no doubt want to know far more about me than I can tell you, so I'll throw you a few crumbs. I decided I wanted to work for a video game company when I was a little kid - the storyboard for my first game is probably still hiding in my parents' basement. I proceeded to play every Nintendo and PC game I could get my hands on, until I picked up Ultima Online - that consumed several years of my life. Recently I've been playing City of Heroes, Guild Wars, the Sims 2, and of course L2.

My community background is actually in the music business - I've been the online community manager as well as the head roadie for a local musician for the past several years. I'm looking forward to working in an industry where I don't have to physically beat the rabid fans off with a stick. Not as often, anyway.

I won't be able to post too much today - lots of orientation to do. I should be hanging out over the weekend, and in full swing by Monday.

As for my gender, I think I'll let y'all stew over that for a while longer.

Sarge

Wonderful.... Sarge,
A name that commands respect, and fear,

yet, oddly humorous,
I'm almost tempted to make a new account and name myself Griff

I wonder how many Red vs Blue jokes you will be the target of in the comming weeks....
--

Ultima Online you say?
we are on the same page already...... :) :p

Sir! Welcome Sir!

(Yes, I say "Sir" to a "Sarge" cuz I'm still in Boot)

07-29-2005, 02:16 PM
Just so ya'll know, this was the end of a very long day for Sarge. :)

So, I wouldn't expect a lot of back and forth just yet. I just didn't want anyone to think that they were being ignored. I know you will all give Sarge a very warm welcome.

Good to see you're around and up and running. As I posted in another thread I have a few questions, some of which you already answered so I'll just throw the others up here ^_^

[ QUOTE ]
1. Any experience playing Lineage 2 prior to applying for this position, if so, what level is your highest character?
2. What are the key areas you plan on focusing your attention to?
3. Favorite video game of all time.
4. How you plan on fulfilling the first responsibility listed in the job posting, "act as a liaison between game players and development staff."

Glad to see you made it through Tisirin's boot camp and g'luck getting yourself situated with everything over the weekend.

Greetings new slave of mine... err, CC!

Welcome soldier. At ease, I know it's been a long week for you.

Be weary of 3 star generals. And this ain't the friggin stock exchange. (http://boards.lineage2.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=general&Number=1876)

I see a thread as soon as it appears, but I enter one only when I am fully prepared to speak, backup questions, and fend off exploiters.

I suggest you do the same, soldier. And you're a man.

Hmmm... first thread and it already has enuff quotes to look like a dart-board.

Welcome Sarge!

I shall pretend you're male because that's wyzest for gamerz. We'll have only your words to guide us. Fortunately in words there's a lot of data to mine.

But here's a hint -- you're using far too many hedge-words, mkay?

We know you're the new kid, but don't get all sissy or people will start thinking Sarge wears a bra, and after that SirE, Tokara, a the devil will never leave ya be.

The real mystery is which musician? It's Austin, right? A town that even other music towns envy. I caught Eric Johnson a couple weeks ago. :D

Hello and Welcome!! :)

I'm sure you will find this community to be interesting and diverse, with many ideas brought to the table. Glad to have you here to keep us in line. :p

btw, I think I found some info as to your true identity here (http://www.free-definition.com/Sarge.html ) . :) A more common reference your name is found here (http://www.factmonster.com/ipd/A0637380.html) . However, I remember the first time I used this term I was a Private in the Army. The sergeant I addressed as "Sarge" yelled at me "You see these stripes? I'm a Sergeant. A sarge is a wart on a hog's ***! Now drop and give me 20!" True story. :)

I was thinking about writing something cool.

A joke of sorts, but funny and non degrading.
Or some devilish daring stuff but not to overdone.
A brilliant piece of prose to dazzle the plebs.
Perhaps a shining beacon of wisdom to enlighten you on your new job.
Something so special that you would consider me a person to pay attention to.

But I couldn't think of anything good.

So let me just say: Welcome.

OK, feeling much better after 14 hours sleep... Let's see if I can answer some of your questions. First, the nice, organized list from Choch:

1. Any experience playing Lineage 2 prior to applying for this position, if so, what level is your highest character?

My experience with L2 is limited but growing - as a matter of fact, I'll probably be playing most of the day today. I can't talk about who I play or where - y'all know that. I will say, though, that I'm an alt-fiend so it'll take a while before I get to my second class change with anyone.

2. What are the key areas you plan on focusing your attention to?

The forums are actually near the top of my list, as is coordinating with our affiliate sites. I'll also be working with the event team, just as Ash did.

3. Favorite video game of all time.

Oh, I don't know if I can answer this. Best puzzle game is Tetris - not only do I have it on my cell phone, but I still play the 8 bit NES version from time to time. Fallout 2 is probably my favorite RPG, though I could make a strong argument for Ultima VII - Serpent Isle. Best MMO - well, that one's up in the air, although UO definitely wins for longevity at the moment. System Shock 2 wins for best horror game, the Sims and the Sims 2 deserve a mention for best toilet-scrubbing recreation, I' m a huge fan of the whole SimCity series (although I tend to cheat), I'm eagerly awaiting Civ IV... I could go on for days.

4. How you plan on fulfilling the first responsibility listed in the job posting, "act as a liaison between game players and development staff."

I know this is a loaded question, so I'll be sneaky. I'll fulfill that role pretty much the same way that Ash did. We have specific channels available to us, and I will use them to the best of my ability. I really can't go in to any more detail.

Kiranya - I haven't played with any wolves yet, but I intend to - in no small part because of your passionate endorsement of them.

As for some of the more random questions - I live in Texas, obviously. I do like rootbeer. I am not the Black Isle Sarge, although I'd like to be. Nor am I the red vs blue Sarge. ChuckHoboDUH - I haven't seen your medication but everybody, start looking!

[/ QUOTE ]

Where the Hell is your avatar ?

And before giving yourself a title such as Tyrant, do you even know what a tyrant is, Tyrannos ?

You are an usurper of rightful power. You're a cruel despot who places his own interests or the interests of a small oligarchy over the best interests of the population.

Enjoy your short lived welcome, soldier.

Just so ya'll know, this was the end of a very long day for Sarge. :)

So, I wouldn't expect a lot of back and forth just yet. I just didn't want anyone to think that they were being ignored. I know you will all give Sarge a very warm welcome.

You bet safely. With warm is in hot and steamy ? Or you don't want us to "Apply some pressure" ;-p

Hello everyone!

I am Sarge, your new community coordinator and board tyrant. I'm taking over for Ash as of today.

[/ QUOTE ]

You poor, poor soul. I hope they're paying you well, and I hope you have a direct line to your favorite counsellor.

These folks'll drive you crazy in no time. Unless you're crazy already, of course, in which case you'll fit right in.

Good luck!

You're gonna need it. :D

Welcome,

Finally someone that will get all of my "do you remember UO" analogies.
I was a closed bete player for UO back in the day.
Anyhow, hope you get all out of this job that you expect.

G'day

we should form a community for UO veterans :p

[/ QUOTE ]

That'd be interesting. I'm an old school Lake Superior veteran myself. But it would be off-topic. :)

[/ QUOTE ]

Those of us from early UO days share special memories. It may be off-topic, but there is a lot of UO type feel in L2, which is the part of L2 I love.

I remember that day in September 97' when I drove very fast to my local store to pick up my copy that just arrived that morning. Started on Lake Superior too, but went to Catskills when it came up; eventually to Napa, Siege, so on.

Welcome Sarge. :)

I think St. T is right. I mentioned this elsewhere, but I feel Sarge is a woman.

As far as the skills to be a community coordinator, though a thorough knowledge of the game would be helpful, the real skills for the job transcend the game.

This game isn't so complex as to warrant someone to be playing a year hardcore in order to be the Community Coordinator.

Not everyone is cut out to be a Community Coordintor and I bet more people are cut out to play video games.

Therefore the rare skills that one must have (being able to deal with us in a professional manner for one) should take top priority.

Again... Welcome Sarge (Quake 3 did come to mind when I first saw your name).

Welcome to the boards Sarge. I hope you will fit in, you have some very large shoes to fill and I wish you the best of luck at it.

One thread of advise, pay attention to those like the "Devil" while their words at times may be a bit befuddling there is wisdom there.

Enjoy

actually... that was one of the Tip Offs... sims...

However... there seems something in the sentences that belies a type of ineffable refinement.

Not to say men can't be refined... or play the Sims..

But my first reaction was woman. And since women are way cool anyways then so much the better.

There's actually a science to it. But it's not what you say so much as how you say it. The secrets are in the close-classed words. Words (and numbers about words) is a hobby of mine, except when I'm on a job. Then it's -_-_- work.

Huh? I copied that from whom? :confused:

Well I found that others made better jokes, were more daring then I ever dared to be, and I can never beat some peoples wordcrafting and the Woodsman is by far not the wisest person in this world. So that left me with a humble Word of Welcome. Which is not stolen from anybody.

You'Re on StT. I mean, 1000 adena from StT is a sweet deal. Then again, I've been known to lose a few bets.

I've run a few behavioral tests, it (he/she) answered them all, even if it never addressed me directly. It was probably instructed not to engage the Devil too fast...

Preliminary results point to a woman.

But I won't speculate more on this until we get a clear answer from it. Until then, I'll just call it "it".

I'll admit to playing the Sims, Honey. Oh no wait, I'll admit to nothing ! HAhahahahahahaha ! Played once, made a nice couple, but then the stove burned and my two chars caught fire. :eek:

Behavior tests? Game play? Writing Style?

Hmmm, wouldnt be so sure about those. The reliability of those can be deceiving. A person who wants to decieve you can make a 'mistake' in 'admitting' to play a game as Sim. And lets face it, the handle can also be used to confuse. Sarge and Woodsman for example shout out that they are male.

Welcome Sarge, your job conserning the board moderation will be fairly easy, these boards are heavily self moderated, so don't be to trigger happy locking threads.

as for your gaming history, well im an UO player myself, played from the very start and still paying for my UO accounts buying expansions etc etc, Learned the world in Atlantic, and ruled Drachenfels and Europa when they came out.

Sims eh? well i tried that once, and made a couple, bought myself a PC to enjoy, left him to eat sleep and piss all he liked, but then the friendly neighborhood girl started showing up very frequently, so i waited and at the right time....

....i just build walls around them and let them starve to death or drown in their own pee whatever came first...

PK'ng in Sims is very fun...

And we all know that girls don't like PvP games now don't we ;)

I have to take some exception to this. Ash was extremely knowledgeable regarding Lineage II before he was even considered for his post and either actual game knowledge or interest in Lineage II was a very strong influence on who got the job this time around.

My professional opinion is that it is vital for the community team to not only understand Lineage II, but to be enthusiastic advocates of the game and the players.

Whether it is Community or CS or QA, there is a strong tendency at NCsoft to get people for the various Lineage II teams that understand and, yes, play the game.

07-31-2005, 04:33 PM
Yes, devs/QA/w.e actually playing the game is a pretty good thing. Seems to work well with the Eve-online devs... especially when they come on your TS and talk about how drunk they got last night at the pub.
