What does "GM" really mean to you?

[Mewi]

Over time I've questioned the acronym of "GM" and I am wanting to change its meaning all together.

I feel that "Game Master" is an inaccurate acronym for the actual position in question.  The term "Game Master" sounds more like someone who has mastered the game and knows more about it than anyone else.  Which we all know is not the case for pretty much every GM.  We can't know it all ;3  Also in terms of authority the word 'master' sounds more like a slavery term in my opinion.  All the terms for master just do not seem to accurately describe what an actual GM is.  Giving the ability to enforce rules, converse with the community.. I feel a better term is needed.

Personally in order to avoid changing the two letters...

I believe  'Game Monitor'  is the most accurate acronym for a GM o.O

I believe Guild Member is the best.

Guild member? o_o t I only use GM for referring to a Guild Master of Game Master. I rarely use it for referring to a guildie.

And I personally like the acronym Game Monitor myself for a position of power(?). Unless you're the server owner or something then Game Master. :/

imo GM doesn't stand for any words at all to me....
GM to me stands for a person that is there to help ppl, enforce the rules, and make the game more enjoyable

so GM doesn't mean game master or game mod to me, cause to me its just a term used to describe someone's job in the server

Maybe the corrupt ones lol. XD

literally it's game master (which is widely used in all online gaming) but it's more of a game moderator... so game mod is just as appropriate
