I remember Amelinda...

Then I remember Sirken is in charge now.

And then I just stop thinking about the staff.

Pras.

I don't really give enough shit to needlessly brownnose, but as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't be here if I didn't respect the staff. Each and every one of yous guys has my complete respect. If that ever changes, I'll just delete my stuff and be on my way.

Hey Sirken, so when people who follow the rules log in at the zone in and run to go pull a dragon, and then a few seconds later see that someone get FTE who seemingly didn't log in at the zone in, what the fuck do you really expect to happen? Do you even think this shit through? Or are you attempting to design a new system ( like autofire ) where gathering evidence against cheaters is pretty much impossible? Maybe you plan on having a staff member show up for every spawn and make sure everyone logged in at the right spot?

Thanks for getting rid of cheating one way to allow blatant cheating in another way that the players really can't police themselves. Stupid.

Ok, since I read 5-6 pages in and saw nothing but people collectively stroking off Sirken, I'll actually chime in with something critical.

As Rogean and Nilbog have gotten less and less hand on in terms of enforcing rules and passing judgement on infractions, Sirken has become the de facto senior official who deals with player complaints. Sirken is also a former member of TMO, a guild central to many of those complaints. Sirken's play character was also banned in the SEQ purge.

Essentially I see Sirken being a GM as no different than someone like myself of Jeremy being made GMs, which I'm sure people would be up in arms about. Hell, let's get Modus and Abacab back here to run the show while we're at it.

We've got a box where the identities of GMs is kept secret from the player base, and simply questioning the GMs can result in punitive action. However, those same GMs who we're expected to hold above reproach have also included people like Amelinda who we very blatantly corrupt. Or Cyrius who very blatantly favored certain guilds. Their rackets were able to continue for months because anyone who was even remotely critical of them was punished. There seems to be zero oversight, especially for someone at Sirken's level.

When information like this has been posted in the past it has been deleted and the players who posted it banned.

As far as I'm concerned, the only person on this box who seems to be consistently fair is Nilbog, and that is because he doesn't get involved in all the player drama. Its too bad he doesn't care enough to be bothered with player questions/concerns anymore, because the people he's entrusted with the keys to the castle in the past few years have been suspect at best.

All that said, this is without a doubt the best box out there and even with the shady history of GMs I'd rather play here than any where else. I just think it is ridiculous that someone with a history not so different than my own is basically judge, jury and executioner with minimal, if any oversight.

Yea, can I get my 2009 forum account unbanned? Sorry I told everyone you gave TMO spawn times in the past.

Ah, makes a lot more sense why a nobody like me with a ton of free time every week and a lot of experience as a CSR gets looked over when applying to guide then. I guess if you're a nobody to them then it doesn't really matter how qualified you are to help out.

It was probably because you are fucking retarded.
