... Is this "Form" some kind of joke?
No, it's all pretty serious. There are three purposes for this form:
1) To determine how the Bay12 administrators think and to adapt to that a little.
2) To determine who would be suitable as an administrator.
3) To give those that apply some tips and tricks on administrating.
Data, seriously, I and many others tried to give you a chance and all, but this is plain stupid.
Yeah, must be just as stupid as Johbson's actions. I must be adapting to your self-proclaimed leader already.
You come here to propose to us to let us have a B12 server with your code without any strings attached,
I'm sorry, but I was under the assumption here that we'd all be working
together, not that one person would try to be a leader or something.
and then you start alienating the B12 people, you declare Dr. Johbson, our agreed-upon representative and leader and hoster, who we all trust waaaaay more than we will ever trust you, to be going against you wrongly,
Correct; he left all of the sudden without even talking things out with me. The only person Johbson bothered to speak to is Nameless, except he's so untrustworthy that nobody wanted him to be an admin.
you riddle the
server with bugs and features we never wanted/asked for,
Is this still about the pull-to-grab? Cause' that was supposed to happen ages ago. So far I'm all about fixing what's already there.
you abuse (yes, ABUSE) your admin powers to give yourself an advantage ingame,
And? Once I did this, I didn't abuse this advantage to the slightest. But let me ask you: are
you playtesting? No? Then that sets us apart, now doesn't it?
and now, you REMOVE ALL B12 ADMINS AND DEMAND THAT THEY FILL OUT A FORM THAT BASICALLY ASKS THEM 'DO YOU LUV DATA AND WILL YOU ALWAYS FOLLOW HIS SUPER-INFLATED EGO NO MATTER WHAT'?
I have no idea which one of you Bay12 admins wants to join and which ones don't. I have no idea how you guys respond to actual situations because only Johbson knows you lot.
Although the form does say "whose authority would you listen to on the server?" it is perfectly acceptable to choose "solo" out of that list. The only reason I put that there is because
you might have a better way of running the server than me. It also helps me to catch the ass-kissers.
All I can say now is: GTFHO. Yours isnt a B12 server. You are just exploiting the name. There arent even any B12 admins left for it, and even if there were, you would treat them as your slaves instead of being our 'benefactor'.
Actually, at the very least there's tp, and there's a couple of others too, I believe. And they're not slaves, although I do expect them to abide by rules I set up I'm more than willing to sit at the table and let them decide on a set of rules.
A B12 server should be ruled by B12 people, not an ego-tripping shithead like you.
It's so funny to call me "ego-tripping" even though the only thing I wanted out of this was to be treated as an equal. Instead, both parties involved (Nameless, Bay12) didn't treat me as equals: Nameless just dicked around on the server, and your guy leaves the moment he disagrees instead of talking about it.
Either accept that and give the B12 representative (Johbson, or whoever else is currently considered to be our main administrator) FULL power (Developer admin rank) With NO strings attached and full power to declare whoever they want as admins and to decide any other thing related to the server, or remove the name of B12 from your server.
I might just remove the Bay12 bit from my server. Initially I thought that this was a community which would be similar to the goons in the "working together" aspect, but your leader shares the same madness AZA does: bailing out whenever things don't work out immediately.
EDIT: Just to make it extra clear, I'm in no way ever filling out that form or any other similar thing, on the bases of following my principles.
Okay? Yeah? And? It's obvious that even if you did fill it out for the heck of it, and I accepted you, that you wouldn't bother to come to my server anyway.
I do NOT have to apply for a position I already RIGHTLY have, and a position that can only be given or removed by the people of B12, not some random guy that comes here and claims to want to help us just to rip us off.
Your position is not a position you have by right. If me and Johbson were actually working together I'd be able to say this just fine. The thing is, Johbson ain't around anymore and somebody has to fill those shoes.
The admin list is filled with Bay12 admins, and I don't even know who is who. Perhaps this is the first step to separating the server from Bay12, but it could just as well be the first step to a new beginning.
But one thing is for sure: This would've never happened if Johbson didn't bail out on you guys.
