I quit due to my computer going to shit and mental health issues.
sure it was a routine that you followed but you had so much freedom you can't believe it. Everyday was different and if you really think GM was a job (job=chore to me in this context) you really should reconsider why you were a GM in the first place. Sure, we all had days where he didn't want to host anything and I get that. But I stayed this long because I did enjoy hosting and planning events. I treated 99.9% of the players in my room with respect and a "non-inferior" being. Hosting and being a part of the group was a blast and probably the most fun I've had here in the Toribash community.
I feel like this is turning to a "rant about the GMs" thread, so I will leave my post at this.
alright, look i used to be gm 2 times, was gm of month for once aswell and what i describe is what i got on my personal experience and listed factors which were downfalls for me personally. You may agree or disagree since experience may be different for each person, afterall i'm not used to do routine job in long runs and prefer short but productive bursts, thats just my approach.

I've been trying so long to become a gm, my dream would be gm of the month. At this years thanksgiving I told everyone what I was thankful for. God, Family, Love, and I also said most importantly I am thankful that I am a loved part of the incredible toribash community. My grandmama took quite an interest to what I said. I showed her toribash and gave her my own personal toribash tour. We went in irc and I said hi to all of my friends. My grandmama said it is good that I am making friends and that maybe I can start making friends in real life to. I am homeschooled by my mom so I usually don't leave the house. I've never had a girlfriend, but it's ok because me and my mom always go to the movies on friday nights to show all the other kids that you don't need to be having s-e-x to have fun. Sometimes they laugh at me but I always laugh back because I know I'm having more fun than they are. I mean, I get to spend time with my mom, what's better than that? I have such a close relationship with her and she is always going out of her way to help me with my goals. When I sent in my gm application last month she wrote me a personal letter of recommendation. When I told her I didn't get in she was very mad. I even showed her some mean pm's I got from the gamemasters. They are lucky she didn't know who they were because if she did she would have called their parents like she did when I got beat up at rite aid.
I'm really scared for christmas because I made a promise to my entire family, even my grandmama and grandpapa that I would be a gm. I am so afraid to tell them i didn't become gm. I know they will love me no matter what happens but i don't want to dissapoint them. It makes me sad to think I can't be a gm and make new friends with Powas, Hxcbbqimo, Jalis, Uric, and all the rest of "the boys". Even if i just become a trainee gm I will be more happy then when I won the science fair. I couldn't even imagine how content i would be if I was gm of the month, that would be INCREDIBLE!!!.

Same goes for implications about usage of my own tc to host.
Oh, that. Yes, like I said, I have no way of proving whether or not these items were sent as tourney prizes or trivia prizes, blah blah blah. The point was that if these were tournament prizes, they are pretty poor.
In some cases it is easy to distinguish whether or not the prizes were tournament prizes are not (e.g. when only two items are sent).

If that's bothering you so bad, I can prepare analysis of my all logs to estimate average worth of items used as prizes - I'm certain it'd be more than 5k/2k, possible near 7k/3k (reminder - fast tourneys on fun mods gets cheaper prizes).
Argh, I don't understand why I have to repeat myself so many times.
It is extremely obvious that people are complaining, regardless of whether or not it is about you or a different member. For the third time, I am not solely targeting you, in fact I may not be targeting you at all, however I used you (and your funds) as an example since I am talking to you.

You should stop taking offense to so many things. Isn't this thread for opinions and ideas? The general opinion is that the quality of prizes are poor. This is almost undebatable (that this is the general opinion, not that prizes are poor).

Absolutely not! If we're going to discuss it, it will be in this thread, since this is the thread for voicing our opinions and ideas.
