What I've been Up To...
Man, it's been a long time since the last update hasn't it?
I think I owe it to everyone to explain just what's been keeping me busy these past few months.
1. Work: Since I last posted here, my department, the Game Operations department has been busy implementing some changes... and busy supporting the other units of Level Up.
Hmm... have I lost you? Maybe I should explain what it is I DO exactly in Level Up.
All of Level Up's online games have GMs. They're the ones you see in the games and on the forums. The GMs are organized into teams called Game Teams. Each game team is headed by a Game Manager. The "Head GM" for each game. The Head GMs in turn, report to me.
Wait, I know what you're thinking. "Holy crap, The G is the uber powerful head GM!" Actually, that's not the case. My job is more regulatory. I make sure the game policies and the promotions are implemented within budget, and the time of the game teams is adequately managed.
Okay to make it simple, it's like this. The company makes a plan for the game team. For example RO. They go "Hey Ragnarok Game team, we want you to summon monsters in Prontera and Lighthaltzen all week!" My job is to make sure that the Game Team summons the correct monsters and executes the summoning plan exactly as what is written down on the plan.
If you've been following the activites of Level Up's games, you know we've been really busy these past few months.
The second thing I've been up to is my tabletop roleplaying game. I play Exalted a high powered fantasy roleplaying game where you take the role of a reincarnated God King to remake the world. I am the GM (that is, I function as a meat server) of one game and I play in another. I have 8 players and we play once a month at my house. Things have gotten really intense, with demons invading the players' home cities and everyone getting ready to fend off the demonic hordes... most of my free time away from work has been spent getting ready for my tabletop sessions!
Anyway that's what I've been upto these past few days. I plan to put up some interesting articles regularly for those who visit. (Now that I have an audience, hehehe, thanks Carlo.) So check back soon!
