Our July Plans

I have to call BS on this. If 40% of the server didn't have fun on LotC, why would they still be on LotC? If you don't enjoy LotC, then don't come around here, use your free time for something you enjoy. You bring negativity to the community that isn't needed. A lot of us try to act positively and ignore or constructively criticize the things we dislike, but the people who dislike this server but actively engage in our community in a negative manner anyways only serve to undo the good many people work towards.

 

Also, can we stop bringing up Viper and Rhia? If you have criticisms directly pertaining to either of them, doing so publicly isn't in any way acceptable. Rather than attacking these players, make constructive feedback threads advocating for changes you'd like to see made to the standards that govern the GM's and/or Admins, or PM their team leads (Viper for Rhia, and I guess other Admins for Viper) regarding your issues.

 

Sorry if I'm getting a bit heated, but seriously, I encourage all of you to read this thread and try to abide by what it outlines. Our community would be a lot better off if we lacked all the negativity that has plagued it lately.

I will paraphrase what I stated in the GM chat yesterday night. Anyone could have easily removed me for inactivity during the time I was gone. I stated that I would be inactive for a few months, so the staff knew I would be gone. It's not like I disappeared and they were waiting for me to randomly pop up just in case. Nonetheless, I was not demoted. Would you prefer I wait until someone else steps up to the plate and fixes things? I can do that if you want, but I guarantee things won't get better. I would rather take the initiative myself and ensure that something happens, but it seems that some would disagree. Shiftnative has been working tirelessly on 4.0 and Rittsy has been managing many aspects of LotC in my absence, so I would not expect either of them to take the reigns and I would not want them to be forced to either.

It's true I was sick for a few weeks, but that's not the entire reason as to why I was gone (though it was a contributing factor). I was working towards wrapping up my studies and working over 30 hours per week while doing so, and thus I had barely any spare time on my hands for LotC or even video games.

 

 

Thank you for the response. I understand how it is to have little time on your hands, and greatly appreciate that you're back and that you mean business.

 

Next time a little warning could be nice though, you dig? ;)

Alright, this has been fun, but I think this thread (with so many GMs actually reading it) is the perfect place for us to sit down and have a little chat. A primary part of running a business based in entertainment is to remain both likable and entertaining. I like a lot of you, as judged by your posts, whereas I hardly even know Rhia but dislike her from what I've seen so far.

 

Rhia you literally asked for constructive criticism, someone gave it to you, and you snapped at them. That's foolish. Don't be foolish.

 

In all too brutal honesty, we as a player-base don't care what you as the moderation and administration want for this entertainment business, we want to be entertained. (Areyounotentertained.gif) The thing that makes leading hard is that everyone wants different things; a lot of people love pvp and crashing settlements, whereas I think those people are scummy plebs who deserve nothing less than crucifixion.

 

I don't care what you want. I want to be happy and entertained. I came here to be happy and entertained.

 

I'm not entertained right now, I am growing slowly more bored as I hold out a dying light that things might turn around and I'll be entertained again, like a crummy patch in well... any other game... being fixed. If people aren't happy, especially if this many people aren't happy, and being this vocal about it; there is something terribly wrong with this server.

 

GMs, stop telling us to calm down or shut up about it. If you can't handle discontent among a couple of people, you are not fit to lead. Give us descriptions of what your jargon means, don't be hypocritical, and shape up. I am willing to donate money to this server once it starts doing things I like, even if your rewards are silly. If you want money, do what people want you to do. Dance, monkey, dance.

I have to call bullshit on this. If 40% of the server didn't have fun on LotC, why the hell would they still be on LotC? If you don't enjoy LotC, then don't come around here, use your free time for something you enjoy.

Friends, simple as that. It's a lot like checking the fridge, you open it expect something delicious to be there, but to your disappointment nothing has changed. Unfortunately, we're too lazy to go shopping.

Perhaps this is a strange euphemism, maybe it's time to get our shit together.

Perhaps you could try to lead by example and follow the points outlined in that thread. You certainly aren't doing it now.

woah, people, check your zipper, your entitlement is showing..

The timing was bad, that was all. My personal life is my own; I don't need to go on the forums to advertise that I am ill and ask that the community feel sorry for me. I do not need to be transparent with my personal life; the staff (myself included) needs to be transparent with their intentions for this server and community and how we intend to move forward and improve it.

 

Brandnewkitten was referring to my previous situation, not my current one.

In summary, I plan on making a difference. If you would prefer to request that I step back due to my previous defined inactivity and wait until someone else steps up then be my guest.

Well, I would never want to denounce you, to me you seem quite competent for your position, I just hope that you fix the current mess thats going on right now. 

[Aengoth 2890]

Viper, I hope you actually evict the terrible GM's Instead of the ones you like. I've seen this happen every time somone says they are fixing it, and GM's Always get evicted because some other GM doesn't like them.

I hope you get rid of the GM's Who don't do anything but play league, of course.

League is the only worthwhile filter between players and GM's you pleb.

Viper, can we kick Cappy off the GM team? Pretty please?
