New CoA DM?
-
I can relate to some of Zavirons points. The purpose of this thread isn't to say the DM is inadequate in any way, as most people are saying the DM team is fine as it is. I'm not trying to point out a flaw in their hard work and dedication to Arabel, only suggesting that it would be nice to see another new DM be made for even more IG awesome.

We're always on the lookout for new DMs. It's not something that's forgotten about.
As for picking one, we consider candidates who've demonstrated the qualities we require, which go beyond proactiveness and creativity in game (though naturally, those are important too).
Making new DMs often results in the dude burning out, losing both a player and DM. As a result, picking one who doesn't demonstrate everything we need tends to be high risk. We've learned what to lookout for in 12+ years of CoA existence, and rest assured, a DM will be made when a suitable candidate exists.

There is also the 50% curse to consider, 50% of all people whom become DM never return to the server without a sound or explanation!

Forgot about that. What she said. <3 princess, come with me to the dance.
-
Sorry, can't I have to reset the server.
-
Fine, I can take a hint.

I do have some time off, so I'll be on to tell a 2-3 week story. As for a new DM, it is difficult to sacrifice a good player so that they can DM. If we feel that the activity of the DMs is slowing down, then we usually make the call. As of now, the team hasn't shown any signs of not being active. Feel free to send Puffy all your complaints. That's where I always send mine.
On a serious note, feel free to send me PMs on what you want accomplished. As little time I have, I do have a window of DMing to tell a cool story I've been thinking of.

I, personally, think that the DMs in general are doing a stellar job of being active right now. I think the first step here is for us as players to be alittle more active in seeking them out, rather than sit around IG and wait for them to show up and make things happen for us, wich isn't really something that adding more DMs will fix.

The trick is to get a person who isn't a good player. That way no one cares if they're missing or won't come back!

Knew someone was gonna suggest me sooner or later! I accept!

This thread is moving into frightening territory.

As much as I'd like to joke with bad players burning out quick, I'd like to express my opinion that after 10 years, every player is a huge value to the community.

Yeah, I'm personally uncomfortable about it.
-
I personally think we should just make everyone a DM, and like, see what happens.
-
I think this is a good plan.
-
Doing it now. Just need all you guys to PM me your favourite colour as we keep a list in the DM forums.
-
I don't have a favourite colour, can I be a player?
-
Also, all new recruits need to wear a dress as part of the initiation.
