Microbes welcome all :)
Microbes consider this like Cyberacademy....
Microbes please hold comments and questions till the end
Microbes this meeting will be two-part
Microbes first part is open to all
Microbes the second part will be closed to CT and staff
Microbes let me cover the first section now....
Microbes what is a CT?
Microbes CyberTrainer
Microbes a person who basically assists both staff and players
Microbes btw, protos if you could copy this....
Microbes what we are developing with the increased CT staff is a push to retain miore players that are new to the game
Microbes as players come into volcano hub, they dont have alot of direction
Microbes if some of you have wondered why I sit in vocano for all these years, and NOT level 3 speed,
Microbes is to serve a a welcomne person of sorts
Microbes we want to keep, train, and eventually get the new players to stick around
Microbes of course there are many many games out there thinning out the pool of players..
Microbes but if we give the CT programm a concentrated effort, the game will continue to exist and hopefuilly grow
Microbes As you know, we recently hired three CT's
Microbes I am looking to hire more
Microbes promotions will hopefully occur
Microbes thus leaving a void at the CT level
Microbes please do not talk
Microbes please hld questions to the end
Microbes so...
Microbes after promotions take place
Microbes there will be slots available
Microbes we want to hire a few more CT's then
Microbes what I expect from a ct...........
Microbes help the new guys
Microbes help currect staff
Microbes help with events
Microbes the more you help, the greater yoyur chance to move up the staff ladder here
Microbes staff ladder = CA, CT, Host, Sen Host, Asst. Op, Op, Sen Op
Microbes I will get to "CA" in minute
Microbes as a CT, you get goodies
Microbes you get a medal, special CT EM
Microbes a free sub
Microbes a SW pod (CT)
Microbes and a clan
Microbes so there ARE incentives
Microbes in return, you help train new players
Microbes I created a special map (arena) for that exact purpose
Microbes in order for the CT to help and train the new guy
Microbes in fact, it was nice to see volcani alsnmot full the other nite
Microbes here's the deal:
Microbes the more players we keep, the more FUN the game is
Microbes also, think a bit further
Microbes if we retain these players, some wil subscribe......'and guess what?
Microbes we have more clan members
Microbes becauase we have a greater pool of players to choose from
Microbes so it really comes full circle
Microbes that is why this program is VITAL to the existance of Cyberstrike
Microbes also....know this.......
Microbes as a CT, you are in a "weeding-'out position
Microbes we want reliable, mature, thinking folks
Microbes that are sensitive to the game
Microbes I would like to give you ALL a quick example of what happened to me the other day...
Microbes since Myke and I have been here since 1991 and the beta-test of this game...
Microbes (warrior too)
Microbes there was always a "spirit" to this game
Microbes the game is rated "E"
Microbes for a reason
Microbes to kep the game fun
Microbes FUN
Microbes as in "enjoyable"
Microbes as a CT, you will reoport abusive behaviour
Microbes as I logged into a city,
Microbes I asked a player not to kill me as I was laying twrs and had absolurtely no power
Microbes after presenting my position, this player came over and blatantly killed me
Microbes after consulting with player, the player continued to insist he did nothing wrong
Microbes I ended up having to lock this player for a day
Microbes because he violated what we call the "spirit" if the game
Microbes that was NOT a frinedly envrinment
Microbes hold your questions to the end please
Microbes that type of environment is exactly what kills this game
Microbes and please note:
Microbes it is NOT covered by TAC
Microbes as a Ct, host, Op whatever, you are asked to make judgement calls
Microbes this is why we pick our folks very carefull
Microbes and wil not promote abusive or power-hungry people
Microbes so as a CT, it is very important to show good judgement
Microbes because it COULD be the beginning of your assent into the staff levels
Microbes the CT position is VERY VERY important
Microbes allow me to cover the "CA"
Microbes I created this title
Microbes CA = Computer assistant
Microbes I created a special room for these guys
Microbes too many times I have seen players have problems with their computers
Microbes we ARE a computer game
Microbes I would like to have several of the CA's help new players, or players in general
Microbes with their computers
Microbes help them with technical questions i.e. defraggind, debugging
Microbes run scan disk etc etc
Microbes the CA is a step below the CT, BUT candidates to be CT's
Microbes c/p this to him
Microbes can u?
Microbes copy/paste
Microbes protos may
Microbes can u protos?
Microbes ther ya go
Microbes back to the mneeting
Microbes so we have a layered staff here
Microbes thank you
Microbes the layering is important because...
Microbes it allows a CHAIN OF COMMAND
Microbes ALWAYS FOLLOW THAT CHAIN
Microbes regarding the CA, if you have any computer skills at all, please let me know
Microbes because I want these rooms staffed
Microbes just 30-60 mintes / day by each CA
Microbes during heavy times
Microbes and the CT have their schedules roughly in place
Microbes we will cover that in the second part of the meeting (staff only)
Microbes Myke said he would receive your applications
Microbes that is all on my end for part I of the meeting

Microbes from what I have personally seen, these guys have done a wonderful job
Myke For Hosts that was our rule. I think we made it the same for the CTs.
Microbes as far as the the 6 mos rule?
Microbes is there a way to get around that with rekindled?
Myke Yes, but that rule might be flexable.
Microbes ok

[{S}]oLd-Sk0oL Alright Microbes. I've been playing this game for 8 years.. I stopped subscription because.. my clan died and the game was going with it.. so I gave it up. I would LOVE to help on the revival of this game.. but i'm shaerware.. any exceptions?
