Consultant Admin

 

How will this position be filled? What are the requirements you are looking at in terms of people, and what is the process you will take in deciding upon the person?

Holy magic is being voted on at the moment my dude, necromancy is due soon so we’ll be reviewing that soon, dunno what you mean by “magic” and “crafting” though as that’s rather vague. If you mean the magic overhaul, that’s still being worked on but due to people having midterms the voidal one is taking longer than expected. fwitches/azdrazi/soul trees are being reviewed within the next few days (if they aren’t already). Alchemy has been voted on and I think is going to be implemented soon while some of the more niche things are worked on (e.g. homunculi). Lore signing I think I’ve figured out, just need to do a review amongst the team to see if they are fine with the idea (going to try reaching out to the devs to see if they have time to make some edits to the /edit function, should be cool if they do). I’ll likely be making a lore update thread soon to talk about this stuff more in-depth, so stay tuned for that. Though I’m going to be scheduling a community meeting first (expect a thread up in the next few days) as that’s something we haven’t done in a while and is something I would like to see.

 

If you have specifics you want to go over, feel free to hmu over discord my dude.

 

Okay so that was some very charismatic talk. Now it’s 4 days passed and I ask if there’s been anything done. Since I can’t see the promised communication, pages or anything other than your “community meeting”.

what was a guest application and how was it different from getting your buddy to just write the app for you

Ring-a-ding-ding, baby. Almost two weeks passed and all you had on the table was the community meeting. Once again, where’s all the “tomorrow”, “almost done”, “finalising right now” and “pushing it out soon”?

The community meeting went rather well, you should have joined us! I think I’ll make an LT update in a few weeks to give you the progress update you’re looking for, maybe.

Do you ever look at what you type and wonder, “why do I try to sound cool towards mean ol’ Flambo?”

Hahaha. I have an incompetent team with seven months of workload backlog xDDD Dab!

We’re getting to three weeks with absolutely no tangible effort / results, @FlamboyantRage

What makes role-playing on the server give them a more upper-hand in doing their work? Either they are competent at management and leadership in their important positions, or they are not competent, if they were to role-play (taking time away from focusing on bettering the server for the community) you would only be able to say that they are more knowledgeable of the state of role-play in the area they are involved in. Then we would fall into an awkward predicament of people claiming the Admin is biased due to where they choose to role-play (history has shown us this when it comes to unbiased Admins role-playing in areas), or we get people demanding they role-play in as many places as possible which only stretch them thin. I would make the argument that, if the Administration had a PR Admin, then that one would be the one you would want to see role-playing all over the place but not the Administration as a whole.

Getting close to “at the moment”, “soon”, “still”, “longer than expected”, “within the next few days”, “voted on”, “worked on”, “just need a review” and “stay tuned” to mean over a month, Flambo.

 

It’s been 7 months since you posted a “being made right now” on my magic database update suggestion too. You remind me of the government here.

do you think I have myself get online and write feedback in mc books or something? When the staff needs feedback regarding something I conduct a C2A or get people in a chat with me to talk with me. There isn't anyone on my team at the moment who is inactive enough to not have a grasp on how the server works, and you can reach me over discord in my staff chat ez pz. If I wouldn’t be responding and wouldn’t be on an official hiatus then it becomes an issue.

How awkward. You just passed the five weeks mark. Five weeks and no announcement, no threads, no update. And you shot down my critique with some gibberish about “right around the corner” and “about to be released”.

 

What say you, Flambo? Busy RL? Had other projects? Admin responsibilities drained your efforts? 

 

Or will you just blame Telanir?

 

How about community update? Your new “community manager” made two threads in total, didn’t he? And like, one additional 2-paragraph announcement in a thread he locked right away.

 

Tick-tock-tick-tock. I wonder if we’ll have the “soon”, “tomorrow” and “just need a review” stuff two months after your promise.
