TRAITS OF A GOOD GM

Post by iceslice »

* having good judgement
* applying rules without fear or favor
* honest/trustworthy
* enjoy & help others to enjoy
* having clean record
* typing fast & accurate
* prevent anything that's harmful for the community
* staying online frequently
* played the game for a long time (i.e. experienced & know many players)
* ?


Consider these while voting. A GM should have as many of these traits as possible.
(dont get affected by my vote since I dont know all the nominees)

This is me, although most of you won't believe it. I may act silly but I can act perfectly sensible if need be.

* having good judgement ✓
* applying rules without fear or favour ✓
* honest/trustworthy ✓
* enjoy & help others to enjoy ✓
* having clean record ✓ (in-game, not on forums)
* typing fast & accurate ✓
* prevent anything that's harmful for the community ✓
* staying online frequently ✓

May be. I can hope so.

Anyway, I give preference to JUDGEMENT i.e. having a good ability in decision making.

I am considering the election so seriously ? :lol:

Bullshit. Game masters don't need anything like that to do their jobs.
* enjoy & help others to enjoy
Be careful of people who are too generous. They will also be equally generous with their GM powers and use them to give their buddies advantages. That's the reason Delasia was removed from the GM team.
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

@crush
you are right lvl,gp,items not important. Actually this trait wasnt there at the first time. I added it on request & now removed.

I give my priority on judgement & honesty. Rest others are bonus.

btw, another trait of a good GM is, s/he gives iceslice free items :lol:
