Warning, this quick document is based off a true story of my down time antics and I'm not responsible for what you may do in response of reading this, as you have been warned.
I was recently role playing in a game which was about mostly role playing, but, not entirely. In the game, there was a bureaucratic system that was created in order to keep accountability of everybody and everything. The issue with the bureaucratic system which I immediately noticed was that it was merely made for the purpose of merely mocking a bureaucratic system and not necessarily for taking into account all of the components and reasoning of a bureaucratic system. At this moment, I had a great idea. Because of developer of the games had left a loop hole in the system of the game through the ability to keep information between rounds while losing information between rounds about specific characters, a round lasting about two to three hours, I could easily create a system of credit which carried over to the new round so long as an account holder had a password, which was stored in MD5 encrypted format for me to reference without anybody losing their password. Let me explain how I did this and what happened in the end.
First I created a hierarchy, which consisted of different ranks in a system in order to manage the accounts of players who wished to have their credits carry over to a new round, thus being owed some leverage for past round behavior. By making this system, I knew I could get people to first have to "earn credits" by doing my bidding to some degree, allowing me to create a "contract" system as well and an "application system" just so people can get started in taking part in the contract system. Even though this is just a game, I do want to say that if you sign something or agree to something in a role playing game, it CAN still be considered legal in real life, thus comes the part where I also created a "waiver and consent" system. So the hierarchy consisted of these roles from highest rank to lowest.
- Inner Circle
- Operator
- Auditor
- Editor
- Manager
- Account Holders
So the entire system required me to make a guide for every system, a reference book which was the main "catalog" of sorts for every book in the system, a document which was dynamic and stored account information, being updated every so often, an account document that was updated much less often and was organized by alphabetical order, a guide for every rank in the system in terms of operating, a guide for every contract or thing that can be traded for credits and how credits can be used, ect. Let me explain the reasoning for the alphabetical order documents being updated much slower than the dynamic documents being updated or created at the moment. These dynamic documents are extremely easy to organize by date, thus, being able to reference any of it can all boil down to just looking at an account based on date. If an account is over the age of how often the alphabetical document is updated, then that means the alphabetical document must be referenced. There was also an update que system. So you might be asking yourself why the hell I made all these systems for a childs role playing game. The answer is simple. BECAUSE IT MADE ME FEEL POWERFUL!!!
Here is how my system worked. If someone wanted to be in the inner circle, which is where I started my rank at when I invented the system, they had to first go through the ranks of manager, editor, auditor, and operator. They also have to start off as an account holder, something I don't do because I'm not a peasant in my own system. So when someone gained enough credits, if they desired, they could get the privilege of being a manager. Managers basically learn the rules of operating that I created, which handles the account holders for me so I don't have to, but, only when they're around. Yes, I put the hardest working person at the bottom of the ladder so that I don't have to work as hard. Next is the editor. I'm so lazy that even though I made ALL those documents and things of that nature, I made the editor role for the excuse of "proof reading", but, in reality had the job of "adding whatever I wanted and making new documents I wanted". Of course, managers get credits doing their job, editors get credits doing their job, auditors, operators, ect. The auditor had the job of almost doing what the editor was suppose to do, but, making sure they didn't change anything and actually proof reading. Operators give the commands from the inner circle and I made operators for the purpose of never having to directly deal with my own staff, while I remained in the inner circle with anybody I desired. This is how the system works.
So I began practicing the system for a while and got a few account holders until I made a grave mistake. I did something myself instead of getting an account holder to do it for me. I swapped out some of the bureaucracy from the system that was already in the game, with sexual consent forms and was permanently banned for it.
The last thing I will leave you all with is a testimony about the methods I used when creating the guides to all of these different factors in the system I created and managed for a short time. Before every paragraph in the rough draft, I would leave an extra space, thus two spaces, just so that I could write what the paragraph was about. The first paragraph would always be introductory and either held a quick summary of the subjects I would be going over, or I would put the summary in the paragraph after the introduction, which the introduction would thus be full of myself ranting and raving. I would then make every other paragraph in the documentation be about breaking down everything. Four paragraphs wouldn't all be completely unique, but, one paragraph would go over the specific subject while the other three would go over the subjects metaphysical components. These methods allowed me to not only find what I wrote much faster, but, I'd always keep a "draft copy" which had these extra notes just for me. The final draft would have none of the "pre paragraph sentences" or "pre paragraph notes". Doing this practice, and I can't stress this enough, is EXTREMELY USEFUL. It helps you if you procrastinate and in a lot of other ways as well.
Thank you for the time.
