eA developer? TMW contributor?
Posted: 20 May 2010, 10:16
Hi there,
Just to annoy you all bit more
I wondered why the dev group is called eA developers, and why content makers are called contributors.
I may be wrong, and feel free to correct my thought in that case, but:
As for myself, I'm not feeling like developing the eA server,
content upload apart.
My main preoccupation is to get the client the more stable possible and bring a usable ManaServ application suite for the plain joy of anyone.
So a name like TMW coder, TMW developer, or simply 'Developer' would better fit the actual function.
As for the term contributor, I wondered whether it would be possible to get some specialisation (like 'Pixel artist', 'Music and sounds maker', 'Content maker').
Technically, they would be the same as being contributor, but it would help getting the contributor's speciality. For someone with more than one skill area, a cool name reflecting this fact could be: 'Polyvalent content maker'.
I really think that way, people will feel happier with their status, as a more specialized reward for their contributions.
Last but not least, and I'm sure Jaxad will appreciate , I don't think the DemiGod rank is good joke on the long term. There are other superlatives at least as good as this one without potentially referring to the ego of the assignee. No offence intended but I personally obtained pejorative comments from my relatives, after they have been looking at this rank for the first time without knowing the person behind.
Hope I'll get constructive comment upon this.
Best regards.
