Get rid of someone.

I`m on the roll right now, my [PLAN] will start to kick off after April.

So that I won`t forget, I`m going to write here what happened.

I`ve started learning XNA.
Managed to gather some personnel,
Most of them are artists from different fields, so I got the visual department covered.
2 of them agreed to work with me under oral-contract before I properly set things up.
The ones that I wanted right now are Programmers and Sound Creators.

I talked with friends with expertise from marketing and other fields.
So I got some insight on how to approach things.


During the recruit process, some unprecedented event happened.

A guy, whose name I won`t mentioned, got kicked out of my plan.
I know the guy from sometime via the internet, but never met him in person before.
Although he lacks alot in things that I hoped for, I got some trust in him,
so I did some test on him without him realizing it.

The guy is a generalist, he can do most works, but doesn`t stand out in any of them.
His visual skill didn`t improve much since I 1st met him, so I scrapped him out of the category.
However, he has some pretty good writing skill, amongst people I know personally at least.
He has a habit of commenting and reviewing on pretty much everything that I posted.
So, by utilizing this, I gave him 2 tests.

1. I posted a story that I wrote and know that it needs a lot of fixing.
- He managed to point things out, and the criticism are fair, so he passed on this.

2. I posted another story that doesn`t really make much sense, but needed Symbolical Analysis skill in order to be appreciated.
The kind of things that people who understand simply do, and those who don`t just don`t.
- ...........................He`s the latter.

After some talk and arguments, I found out some ugly sides about him, and things just went down the hill.
1. He can stand criticism on his works, but not backfire on something that he said.
2. He didn`t proof read. He misinterpreted everything because he skipped the 1st line.
3. I tried to stop the conversation before it spiral any worse, but he insist on going with it.
4. He`s too much of a conservative to work with me.
5. ไม่มีครีเอทีฟกับขาดความสามารถในการพัฒนาตนเอง

Afterward, there was an attempt for reconcililation.
But since I`ve lost my trust in him, it`s not a relationship that I wanted to keep.
So, I intentionally angered him by sending something that would anger myself if I read it.
Got a final reply that I never opened, Never heard from him again.
End of story.
