Remember the 6th of december, Crayon is like inspector Gadget screwing up every single thing he's inspecting! i only miss Penny or Brains who manage to clean up the mess afterwards rofl

I wanna go Doctor Claw on his ass... i mean a dozen server inspection after the regular tuesday server inspection for "smooth patching experience" and still not get it right...

Why blame the GMs? They aren't the programmers, just the PR people that take the blame.

And on Rome it was Hanpuh (whatever) and Pizza who did the announcements (atleast two of 'em), so.. stfu and stop blaming the GMs!

ooh poor baby..throwing tantrum is litttle weeny kaaru....there there you'll get your cookie...and your beloved Inspector Gadget cartoon after you learn to be able to distinguish reality from your weird fantasy.

Fantasy: GM's are responsible for everything in a game
Reality: there are development teams; covering different systems.

and now kids History lesson:

GM stands for Game Master. It actually originated from the use of DM's or Dungeon Masters who were the essential judge/narrator/referee/hand of fate in table top Role Playing Games like Dungeons and Dragons. As the games extended beyond Tolkeinistic magical fantasy and into other genres.. the term Dungeon no longer fit. So DM's became GM's...

This was extended into the online arena..where MMORPG's are massive extensions of this. Essentially GM's have become the operations personnel from testing, server administration, payment administration. This is a long way from the original role of referee that the DM role used to represent.

I remember in Meridian69 and Ultima Online....there was a slow shift from calling these people DM's to GM's even then. Hell I remember in the old MOO's I used to play we had MM's or as I liked to call them M&M's

The terminology has coalesced since then into a sadly more unified usage...of which no one has any idea about the actual meaning but just simply use the acronyms.

Its kinda silly ain't it? Using something when you have no idea what it really means or where it came from.

wait. that's most people. *sigh* I really sometimes wish we were back in Usenet sometimes...but hell there were those kinda of idiots probably then too...just my selective memory erasing them.

It does not say that does it?
I only ment that 99% of the people use words in an incorrect way or without knowing it's full understanding. Use of some words is even based on assumptions of what they possibly mean. This is very common.

I intended to say that his possible miscomprehension of the abbreviation 'GM' is not something to get all 'omg here's the correct historical base and responsibility list of that abbrev. you ignorant twit' about.
