Mint Berry Crunch Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Do you easily find reliable players who volunteer to admin your game? What about technical stuff - let's say you're on holiday and your site is screwed up, what mitigation or back up plan do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G7470 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I wouldn't say "easy", especially if you're somebody who has trouble with trusting other people to run your game. However, before your game even gets going, you should always have a couple of reliable people to back you up just in case. It's just like going on vacation and you want someone to watch your house for you. You don't want a random stranger watching your house, do you? Heck no! You get someone you can trust to keep an eye on things - which is basically what you would want as well to keep an eye on things as an admin while you're away. As for technical stuff, the same rules apply - have some people to back you up technically so that the game just doesn't die while you're gone. ~G7470 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mint Berry Crunch Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm presuming we are talking about friends helping you out here? Is there a possibly you could hire a contractor to look after it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G7470 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 In the cases I mentioned, yes. I guess a possibility for that could be opened up, but personally, I would pick a friend to look after it over a contractor any day if I had the choice. ~G7470 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mint Berry Crunch Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah in my case I don't think I have friends who are free on demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veramys Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I had a few friends that I met on a game I played and we've been friends for years. When I coded my first game they are the ones that helped me release it. So we ran it together but I did all the coding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
