GM June Update Log

Monthly GM Log

Introduction

Hello everyone. To get straight into it, it’s been a very eventful month for the GM Team and we are very happy to be getting back on track and right back into the groove of our busy schedules. Quite a few of our dear friends and fellow Game Team members have left us this month, though our new trials and newly crowned GM’s are picking up the slack at an excelling rate, keeping us on track as much as possible.

 

Z3m0s

First month as Manager and everything hasn’t caught fire yet so I am doing well. . . In all seriousness I lack much to report but it’s been a good month despite our loses and I look forward to doing some great work with the great people of the GM Team for months to come.

 

Xarkly

Alrighty so it’s been an interesting and trying month. If there’s one thing I wanna do with this though, it’s to pay tribute to the amazing work of Cablam, Rebecca, Hexe and Ang and the hours they poured into the Team. You guys will be missed, and have left some big shoes to fill. We’re managing pretty well so far, with the Team back to full strength and powering forward with the intention to grow stronger. With the prospect of a new Lead, a new Manager and a promising batch of trials later this month, things are looking up.

 

New Managers

A few Managers stepping in to fill the shoes of those who have left us this month, you’ll find them sporting lovely Manager tags below. Please give a warm welcome to them all.

 

New Game Team Members

A big congratulations to those of our recent trials who have ascended to fully fledged members of our time, nothing but great work from all of them despite the ruckus and distractions they’ve dealt with.

Trials

Lot’s of excellent applications up for Trials at the present time, thankfully we have been able to take quite a few as an upside to the recent lose of some valuable members.

 

Exodus

Alright so most of you have probably heard about the staff exodus that occurred earlier in June, which the Game Team suffered hugely from. We lost nearly the entirety of Game Management, which included Cablam, LadyRebecca and SexeHexe. So first and foremost, we’d like to take this chance just to pay tribute to the massive amount of incredible work they poured into the Game Team, which would not be nearly as successful without them.

   However, while their loss is certainly being felt, the Game Team’s successfully recovered from this hit and we’re back on track with modreqs and project work. New Managers have been appointed, which you can read about below, along with new Moderators and a strong selection of Trials, all of whom served as Game Moderators in the past, bringing further strength and experience to the Team.

 

 

Team Roster

We had a lot of turnaround in June with GMs coming and going, so here’s a full roster of the GM Team as of the end of June.

 

Removals & Resignations

Again, this was a bit of a chaotic month for the Team and its members and we said goodbye to more GMs than usual. We wish all the people listed below luck in their future endeavours, and thank them for their work on the Team.

 

Sub-Team Updates

 

Villain Team - Wrynn:

Villain Team lead here! Recently as you may have saw, we made a post about lockpick updates that were made based off of your feedback. We intent to continue this for many other systems that we have on the server and hopefully we'll be putting out a few more posts to collect your opinion on things. Currently the Villain Team is beginning to process of constructing and implementing the 'Villain Rehab' system that was proposed a while back. Hopefully we'll be able to show you some changes within the upcoming weeks and get you some more information on how the system will work. After we've finished that I've planned to begin reconstructing Heists to try and bring them back into the fold which hopefully shouldn't take long either however before we do so we'll be implementing a your view on heists just to see how the community currently feels about their state and perhaps what could be added to them to improve them, other than that have a good day!

 

Economy Team - Hiebe

Economy team added back in voting with rewards. At this time a player can make up to 420 minas a week voting on all the sites. We have turned our eyes to 6.0 and brainstorming ideas for the economy there in terms of items and money for the players. At this time we see the economy on 5.0 stable and will keep our eyes on inflation.

 

War Team - Nazdus

Over the course of the last several weeks The War team has been working around the clock in order to get this overhaul kick-started. A new draft of the War Rules is currently pending approval from the Administration at the time of this post being written, as well as newly introduced Coup rules which are currently live on the server. In addition to this, a new roster has been formed with both experienced & new faces alike, who share a common goal to make this team run more smoothly than previous iterations.

 

Appeal for new Trials

The Game Team is now back up and running at full strength once more, and we intend to grow even stronger. As such, we’re going to be cleaning out the GM Application forum and encourage anyone and everyone to submit applications to join the GM Team.

 

New Applications

Speaking of New Applications, we would like to mention also that we have a new GM Trial

application and also a new Player Report, they speak for themselves and can be found here:

The Culling of the Contributors

Last but certainly not least it has been decided on behalf of the Admins and GM Managers that we will be at very least shelving the Contributor Team for the foreseeable future, as of right now it isn’t serving its intended purpose and instead we will be continuing to focus our efforts on the entirety of the GM Team. Having said this, we would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have Contributed, (pun intended) and we encourage those remaining contributors to apply for the Game Team.

Are you not worried about causing inflation by providing us with this comedy gold?

Nothing against you, but the idea that the server has an economy, and that you should be coming up with 'ideas' for the economy and managing inflation is comedy gold.

I believe you're missing a certain Brit on that resignation list who stepped down from Lead this month.
