Former ST

They do. I was simply saying that I think they should increase scan. It makes as much sense than direction sense.

did you really get banned anaiah ?

it lists you for finding bugs in weekly reports so i asked a friend who has played for many years and he said you still play a magic char in nak with a lezbo player and are here for the staff benefit

it looks bad you are still on the bug list after ban but you posted a lot of info that lul said is legit so i wanted to ask if its true

i want to be fair but we have to be safe too

btw i have no care if people are gays or lez please do not take offend anyone

I've been banned since the day I posted here the first time. I -had- a magicker character with a lesbian lover in Allanak. Ages ago. It was the gemmed vivaduan that Harle was banging.

And then, after I posted about the HRPT and lirathans, they even banned my alt 'yoursinsintome'.

The bug list has no time on it as to how long something has been in the queue before it was resolved. As to how long I've been off staff, see the post here: gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,31255.msg645349.html#msg645349

It was October of 2011. When I moved to Iowa to take care of my father. I applied twice to try and come back onto staff, and was rejected both times.

Anaiah,

Played the mud for nearly 20 years myself. Almost all of that was independent so I didn't have to put up with as much staff bullshit. Very rare was it I ever played in a clan. I played Dargan, who at one point spent a fair amount of time in the Sun Legions. Which, sadly, meant I had to be filing regular reports and dealing with being babysat by staff. Just thought I'd say...you were one of the only staffers it was actually a pleasure to deal with during that time. Just read over all our interactions upon discovering you're the real Anaiah. Thanks for that.

A question regarding Dargan: I had this character for FOUR real life years. Over the course of those four years, he was involved in an INSANE amount of shit. And when I finally stored him and moved on...I got my account notes and Dargan had...count them now...TWO...notes. Over four years. And both were potentially negative things relating to my playing from the same IP address as my wife, and another where my behavior was suspect in that I logged in and went to an area my wife's character was at, without using the way. When I mailed in my perfectly reasonable explanation, it went entirely ignored. That note was never removed from my account, nor edited to reflect my explanation. Did you see a lot of this? It's been my perception that staff was fantastic at immediately yelling at people, but didn't do a damn thing about praising them or altering any negative notes once given a reasonable explanation.

What?

I didn't tend to note anything on pinfo unless it was something that I wanted -any- staff member to know and see. Most of what I input went onto the IDB so that other clan staff could see it, or as staff notes/replies on character reports so that, again, clan staff could see it. In my experience, it was easier to do things that way so that if, say, I played with you and wasn't on your staff, but wanted to know if there was any information for your pc I should know immediately, I wouldn't find out a bunch of random stuff about your character, as in, it helped to create a better IC/OOC barrier for staff who aren't supposed to be knowing certain things about those their avatars interact with.

Your account in general is lacking in notes, as are a lot of them, which is odd to me, compared to the high volume that some other accounts have. That said, yes, in general, staff have a bad habit of seeing things that are out of context and jumping to the worst conclusion at times. I myself have been guilty of this once or twice, and had a really bad interaction at one point with one of the Jihaens who was on, and apologized for it later.

I would have loved to have had the liberty to promote Dar, but with him being a dwarf, it would've been almost unheard of without him being a slave member of the legions as so many of the half-giant npcs and other npcs are. He was the only thing keeping the legions alive at times, and I couldn't respect you more for all the times you hung in there when no one else was active in your clan.

There wasn't any note to indicate there was an email sent/received about the trucking it to where your wife's pc was, but I can assure you that on both my own part, and Senga's, that never even came up in discussion. As to the IP sharing, that's actually a fairly common note, and while the wording or circumstance could cause it to read negatively, it is not something which reflects negatively on your account.

I'm really sorry for the negative interactions you've had with other members of staff, I've had a large share of them myself, and I always tried to go out of my way to be polite and reasonable (and when possible give explanations) when things weren't going well or needed discussing, because that is how I wished others would have been with me (I got a negative account note for hooking up with the same long lived pc with 2 of my characters who were alive during their lifespan, and then another note where someone assumed I'd been speaking with Decameron OOC because of the course of action my gypsy Suki took after being impregnated by his pc).

For most people who -are- open about who they are on here, I was around after they left, you're about the only one I can recognize immediately having worked with while I was a ST, and I'd just like to say: If you're no longer playing, Armageddon lost a really, really good player.
