hopefully can repair some of the damage done to the team, rules, and wider server because of overreach by other admins on the team using emergency protocol. Good luck and remember they shot Josh they can shoot you too.

Is this ragebait?

Who needs a mod team anyway the tech team are just going to make you guys another sub team that handles tickets. If you don't fight back and protest then who is to blame?

As a fellow old head from Aegis who fought the hordes of mobs thrown against us in Snowyfields and Alstion, with absolute relish - I wish you the very best of luck in whatever you decide to do next...but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I feel a genuine pang of anger and embarrassment, at a lot of what you wrote. It is a shame that you felt ignored on what I would suggest are unique and good ideas, and its a shame you were promised compensation and then not given any...but being entirely honest I think the culmination of all of these things meaning you losing your interest in the typing simulator is probably the most and biggest shame of it all. Losing talented and gifted people like yourself, or throwing them to one side once they've done what was needed or asked of them (helping to form and create our newest map), should never be the goal. I am so, so sorry.

This Admin team is working, of that I'm entirely sure. You may not see it, you may not be able to point to it, but they're still working. Admins can get sleepy from time to time, but that's why we have the Admin protocol. With Josh leaving, and a new Admin added to the team, it'll be all hands on deck. I can guarantee you that, as the Mod Admin packet is being prepared, and candidates are being interviewed, etc. Its definitely busy behind the scenes. Me and Daisy have had our own very public spats and issues in the past, but I would never say that @Daisywasn't working towards a better LoTC. I would never put someone down for putting time and effort into something we all enjoy. That's counter productive: but I think everyone understands your frustration, even the people/person you're frustrated with. Apathy is a real thing and we need to combat it. I'm glad you managed to speak to Daisy. It sounds like you got a much better understanding than you had previously. We only get a better server through more communication which goes both ways, and better transparency around decision making from the staff backed up by opinion and feedback. Love Harold x

You had a lot of dealings with a close friend of mine and he had nothing but nice things to say about you in your position on staff. I wish you all the very best with whatever you choose to do going forward. H x

Another massive loss. Godspeed Fimlin.

You were always a solid dude when I knew you, and I respect the non crashout post. Done a lot of good for the server my guy, I can only wish you the best whatever you choose to do going forward.

The harder you make it for people to feel comfortable on the server (gear, food, home), the less dynamic and frankly 'new' RP you will get. That makes the map feel alive. Thats the very ethos LoTC was founded on. Thats why voting gives you Minas. When you make it too difficult, it leads to less generic wildcard new people sticking around and more phoned in friends from elsewhere for the usual clique groups, and then the cycle continues. New ideas feel less common, 'the same old same old' becomes the norm and it generally feels stale. When you couple this with no war, a sleepy Admin team, you get a general feeling of ill will from the player base, and toxicity increases. Its a balancing act that I dont think LoTC has ever really gotten right, but understandably its worse now than its been in a fairly long while and you're not even six months into a new map - thats a problem, and a big one that I dont think the Admins really know how to fix.

I just can't believe how many times you tried to make it sound like this staff team is competent, while also suggesting nothing has happened. You've made a post about not being able to post about a post you said you would have done, what is effectively a good long while ago. AND YOU get the praise, because this is what is classed as transparency nowadays - that's utterly diabolical.
