That pretty much sums it for the most I'm afraid. Some of the decent people will apply, just out of the love for APB, but most won't because it's too much of a bother/burden/whatnot. While I'm willing to help people when I have time, I do have the time very rarely and want to spend at least some of it playing the game instead of being a walking FAQ search engine. 1

Nymphi--DoubleDee Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 That would mean Sadira would have to leave Social, though....
iodyne_ Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Hey trinity! I would've included you on my recommended list, but you hadn't joined the forums yet and wasn't sure if you were active anymore. (Trinityrising was assigned by tiggs to helped run/host community contests in the past and has always been helpful and nice.)
Nymphi--DoubleDee Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I would have applied, if there was some form of notice here in the main Forum area, and I wasn't busy.

Westford Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I too, had thought seriously, about submitting my application. I found myself twice, ready to hit the send button. As I pondered this conflict internally, I happened to be watching a re-run of the Jerry Springer Show. Well, that was it for me. Yes, I walked away ... As much as I would like to participate with the progress development of this game (and I do feel this way very strongly), I do not believe that my patience would have lasted more than 2-3 months. I am a fair and tolerant person, but LO needs a GM more than just fair & tolerant. My hats off & Kudos to our community members that did apply, and for those that are chosen.

Kempington Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Here are my picks: Trinity rising AnneArkey WingedArc MonteJr Indianola(maybe, he's a really chill guy when you get to know him) Also, to those select few who are terrified that I'm secretly applying for GM, I'm not. I don't have the time for it at all. 2

Chinook Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 My 2 cents: try to pick people who are fluent in more than just one language. Players who struggle most with the game are often those who also struggle with english. 1
alcholism Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Console GM’s are needed being that almost the entire playerbase is considered “new” to some extent.
Excalibur! Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 *popularity contest intensifies* Oh good memories.

VanilleKeks Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I'd rather the applicants get approved based on competence and not popularity. If you can have both, that's great. As an ex-SPCM I can tell you that this new program has the advantage of less negative stigma in the air. It was hard to get taken seriously as an SPCM by anything other than newer players and in my experience the frustration was taken out on me and most likely other SPCMs, since we had a "connection" to G1. I was either spammed with troll questions to waste my time or just straight up harassed multiple times. The SPCMs I worked with were all very commited but I think over time this sort of stuff really demotivated us. However, this new program is coming from LO which has already done good for the community and keeps hope growing. With this new atmosphere surrounding the game I believe I can reach alot more players more effectively, which is why I applied. 4
