It is obvious there are many better alternative candidates; She has been reported for abuse and bias by members in the past, and it seems none of that was taken into account. The feedback on her app was not worked on in any way, shape, or form, aside from a recent slew of inactivity. Her work as an ED has been underwhelming at most, she has not followed through on any projects (Monk market) she has claimed to be in charge of. She is close friends with Ski, Tahmas, and apparently now Fyaa, and has a very strict clique with Ski which has been around for months now. Because there were better options, and yet she was chosen anyways, it is obvious it was a case of bias, and not a case of choosing the best option for the team. There were other more well-rounded, less disliked, more responsible, more respectable, and more experienced individuals who have open Trial apps; Yet they were ignored, and the individual who was accepted is someone who is a close friend of the above listed. For Ski's part, he is also obsessively defensive of her in ED manager chat, which is further evidence that he is too biased towards her to safely be responsible for judging her trial app or her trial itself in a fair and unbiased manner.
Contrary to popular opinion, in actual business, one does not hire their "friends". No matter how much they claim they are unbiased, it is impossible to prove in the corporate world. If you are friends with someone and they apply to your business, to work on your team, under your management, it is a conflict of interest which is immediately recognized and any good business, manager, and HR team will not allow the hire to happen.

If a PVP team competition was hosted, 6 players per team, what would people prefer the theme to be? Elimination, capture the flag, collecting X amount of something, or something else? Or multiple? It would not be straight PVP but I do

except teltel, you keep saying you're going to 'give it a shot' but you're also severely lacking oversight and are being kinda lazy about it!!!
Why was the fact random people can just walk in and ask to start a new 'Media Branch', as you claimed at the end of Scene21's AMA anyone could do, advertised to the server? Why was an application for said position not created? Why are we giving power to Scene21 to pick and choose his own 'staff' as he claims he'll be able to in his AMA?
A lot of player's worries would be sated if there had actually been an official process in place that he had to go through to gain this new found position, and if the powers, pex, and responsibilities of said position were clearly outlined. An application would have also allowed players to give feedback and express their concerns. You really cannot disregard player feedback in this case because what this individual wants to do has, in the past, been disastrous. I know you and some of the Administration think that your #1 goal is to increase active player base, but you need to understand and respect the fact that 'fantasy minecraft roleplaying servers' are a very niche group, and the audience that youtubers reach is, by and large, not going to be the same type of audience as our playerbase.
Honestly, the worst part about the last time we had a youtuber on board doing 'advertisement' wasn't the power abuse, it was the endless stream of subpar new players, most of whom were only in it for the PvP. They literally formed their own faction and started PvPing everyone else endlessly, along with trolling, hacking, and just...awful. In the end, they had to be banned en masse. Literally people's number 1 worry should be the fallout from that, especially with how lax the application already is.
I could go on for days about the guy himself and how sketchy this entire situation is. I honestly feel just reading what he's said that he's pulling the wool over your eyes and you guys are falling for it hook, line, and sinker. Instincts.
Why is it that the main thing he seems to bring to the table is 'contacts' that he's shady about? Also, I really need to tell you: He's outright lying about having been a member of the server during Aegis. The fact he 'can't remember his username' is insanely ridiculous. That would imply he's literally bought a new minecraft account between then and now. Either he's someone with such a bad rep he doesn't want it to be known, or he never was an Aegis player.
no, it definitely won't be an easy road; But it's going to be a rough road for the players mostly, not yourself. So you should take the time to listen to them and what they're trying to communicate to the Administration, rather than locking every thread that starts digging into the matter.
And honestly, when the fallout hits, you can expect a lot of good people to just go inactive, or their inactivity to drop significantly, until it passes. In addition I'll tell you this; Any self-respecting ET wouldn't be caught dead being the pet builder/actor for Mr. Youtube.

I hate CNN. just playing this video of this 70 yr old deputy accidentally shooting a man when he meant to fire his taser. they've played it 5 times today. its supposedly the only channel I can have on in the lobby but thank god for mute.

I think the real issue with nexus, professions, regions, vapps and mapps, is they're just plain a waste of time that could be spent roleplayin,,which I'm p sure is what this server is for.

Apparently reports against GMs can't be posted on the forums and have to be messaged to Pandan privately? Is there a legitimate reason for that?

It's an old rule of thumb, it was conceived about two years ago after the ban against Serenityonix caused a ****-storm of massive proportions. We could review it once again I suppose, but this is the way its been.
With all due respect, Telanir, you used a perfect example. Without that shitstorm we'd still have aforementioned person with us here today.
I do not think "preventing a shitstorm" is justifiable enough unless you make player reports private too.
The issue is mainly when one person comes out with something, others may feel more confident in coming out with their issues as well, knowing that others have suffered too. It would be more acceptable to me if the report was first discussed with Pandann, and then after discussion if no agreement is reached (settling out of court), then the report is posted.
