Before today, I had only been listkeeper once at H. It was not much of a deal I figured, all one has to do is to write down some names on a list and call them when needed.
Today I tried listkeeping for Lair during rushhour. It was the most terrible experience of my life. I had somewhat 1 pm / 5 secs. People wanting to get on list, people wanting to know what number they were, people who wanted to play an alt meanwhile etc...
Ye realize I had no time to answer all these messages, and so people got mad and started sending me even more messages, causing every reply to go to the wrong person since the flooding made it impossible to use the replybutton. After a while some people got really hostile and started a debate with me... they felt they were being left out since they had waited for so many hours etc. These debates caused me to lag behind even more in my other replies and so even more people got mad... and I was in a vicious circle.
Finally I gave up and gave the list away.
So what I really wanted to say with this thread is: Respect the listkeeper. It is the roughest job one can have. If ye don't believe me, try it out some day when there is only one group at lair and ye get somewhat 50 people messing you constantly.
Praise the listkeepers of Midgard!
I will never do it again. I do not have what it takes.
