If there's one thing I despise about a few of the comments in the expert noms section, it's the lack of thought and observation.
Some players are good some players are bad. Some players have a double personality, lets say an angel with a halo in the morning and a rebellious rot-weiler let off its leash at night.
I'm on maybe 18 hours a day talking and lurking. There are some great people I know on s28, who I thought were expert worthy, but when I was lurking I did come accross a few problems. These consist of:
1. A lack of maturity
2. A short temper
3. Un-able to 'stop' (lighting a fire when water has been poured on it)
Now, the main problem that some s28 players who want to be an expert come accross is drama. I cannot stress this point enough. You know who you are, and i'm not pin-pointing one specific player, there are quiet a few I could name but do not wish to do so (also it's against forum rules)
When you state something about your life or any other issue or get into an arguement with another player, you can't expect sympathy, if you can't handle other players comment DON'T START OR CAUSE ANY DRAMA. Keep it off world chat.
If an expert tells you to stop arguing with him/her or stop arguing with another player, you stop, you don't continue, you make yourself look like a complete fool, and this gets to my head, the fact that some players will goto the absoloute limit to try and prove that they are correct and the expert/player is wrong is ridiculous, and this goes to alot of players who have been nominated.
Now, another thing i'd like to point out about a few players is the 'Devil expert' theory. We're not here to put you off trying to become an expert, i'd love new experts to come to the new server, but with the lack of maturity, I can't say i'm in the greatest of moods. A few players try to protray me as a 'mean' person, and I have several SS's that I may be using in future if this continues, since a few people are just trying to start a fight, for no reason at all.
Yes they are on regulary but some abuse there powers, and some use favoritism
A good example.... don't announce this on WC, I have seen you do this several times, even if I answer you, I.e "Urrgg tats your so mean" when you were persistantly bugging me to answer your question but you were expecting a "specific reply". Think about what sort of impression that gives.
This goes to players argueing with players, if you see a comment about you, IGNORE IT, let the expert/s do their job, don't bite back! If you get called a name, who cares?! Just play along if there's no expert online, even I do it sometimes, honestly, most of the time, trolls get bored if you play along. Don't through timber into the fire.
So what's the moral of this post?
Don't try and 'earn' the expert title, let it come to you.
