I have to tell you that this post makes you my hero. I've bounced around pservers for a while, since the economy crash in OS, and every one I go to seems full of self-serving, grasping morons who want to be a GS just because they want the popularity and prestige of the tag, and the circle of slavering lackey "friends" to fawn over them... I believe a GS should be completely fair and impartial, level-headed and kind, and above all love the game. So many times I've pointed out a staff member's flaws (elsewhere, not here) and had almost every one of them tell me "It's just a game, I have RL that is more important than your petty needs, you know". I have no reply to these kind of people except, give up your tag, if you want the server to live.
My long-winded point is, kudos to you for having elevated standards for your staff. I appreciate an admin who sees the need to build the server from the ground up, starting with happy players and reliable GS. I've only been playing for a few days, but you are beginning to win my loyalty. =)
