I have (and still do) oversee servers for CS:S and TF2, our website, forums, vent and sometimes FTP servers, along with other senior members. You're given a lot of leeway after being with the same people gaming and dicking around on the internet, so you don't really go power crazy once you're used to it. In some areas (such as the FTP server) I follow strict rules to ensure things are not fucked up, however if there's someone being a douche on our servers I'm allowed to handle it however I want within reason.
CS:S admins who've ever used the ma_cexec command know that it feels pretty good to rebind all the keys on a hackers keyboard and mouse, fuck with their config (ie. massive blue crosshairs, 0 mouse sensitivity, audio fucked up), and then crash their client. This "special" treatment is reserved for faggotry of the highest order, everything else is pretty mellow verbal warnings or bans.
Other than that, the only "official" thing was being a GM on a private server for WoW. As much as people say they suck, if you can get a medium sized one with a few hundred people, it's more fun than the real game. The GM thing mostly involved answering tickers, fixing things the emulator had fucked up, banning faggots, telling faggot that they could not work on the staff, and answering more tickets. Then answering more tickets. If I got bored I'd post an event on the forums for the next day, and spawn huge stone walls to make a maze I'd fill with monsters, or hundreds of chairs and table to make a "staircase" that was hundreds of feet tall. Other fun stuff is turning yourself into a boss monster and fighting off raids of players with spells, or Mass Polymorphing a city into rabbits/brooms/chair/etc. Oh, and deleting a lot of stuff on the forums, and having your dick sucked over IRC and ingame mail. Felt good man. Except for the tickets. Holy fuck people were retarded. Also BR? |
