Now on to a small derail: shunting all the good players on to Arm's (giant) staff is a great way to suck those good players out of important IC leadership roles. It's also a great way to turn those players jaded and to burn them out. I expect this has had more impact than most people realize. It's never the same after you've been on staff and the veil of mystery has been ripped away. The game is not as fun to play after that and some motivating illusions are lost. For me it was seeing that the game was in a downward spiral and that much of the staff was totally disconnected. I'm honestly surprised how slow the death spiral has been.

Euronymous: Nyr 2.0, filling the hole with dick: gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,50106.50.html literally nobody in the thread was doing anything other than talking about ways to encourage conflict in the game. and, to be crystal fucking clear: we don't trust you to have creative vision.

It's an attempt to marginalize and mitigate any criticism, which is just par for the course from this staff team.
If I'd had faith for the past year and still ain't got any results, there's that. It's inappropriate to tell people to have hope for the future when the past has been mostly hopeless.

Meanwhile there is so much untapped potential that continues to rot instead. Npc tuluk could be kept alive through animations and RPTs, true giants just sit in red storm east doing who knows what, borsail was supposed to return with a new estate, the tan muark exist but don't exist, and plenty more.
But who needs storylines and political turmoil when you can have spiders? The backdrop used to be so much more mature than it is now.

Euronymous: Nyr 2.0, filling the hole with dick: I was pretty neutral on Eury, even though I knew he was a snarky asshole. He was at least someone who even though he thought he was being funny, went back and owned up to an error and apologized for it. However, he's clearly been breathing in too much of the staff's own fumes. There's no one, who isn't entirely delusional, who at this point, in 2015, should honestly expect anyone to have a reservoir of faith in Armageddon's staff culture. I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but this 'Chillax, have a brew-dog' is stupid shit that is only worthy of calming the most ardent GDBites. For anyone that's even remotely on the fence about the direction of Armageddon (and that's the majority of Armageddon's playerbase), this statement should serve as a big giant red flag. Just like his idiotic statement about them being unpaid volunteers in the player retention thread. Eury has to recognize that he's not coming in at the top with a bunch've goodwill. He's starting from the bottom. This can't be turned around and blamed on the playerbase, like say, Lizzie. It has to be accepted that Armageddon's staff has so little goodwill because of past mismanagement by Armageddon's staff. Although, it always amuses me when staffers like Eury or Nergal refer to the 'bad old days', when the game had the same producers then, as they do now (Nyr, Adhira, and Nessalin). And no, I'm not even going to waste typing the name of the guy who replaced Nyr, because just like the guy who briefly replaced Nessalin, he'll probably be gone when Nyr returns after the holidays.

It's inappropriate to tell people to have hope for the future when the past has been mostly hopeless. Eury, Mord, and a couple of the other new staffers are probably the same GDB white knights that have been defending the game, even at its worst, for years now. I bet they even post in the same threads sometimes.

people never want to listen to me in the moment. the spiders bullshit wasn't a huge thing although it'd been starting to trend into a string of rpts, when I left staff... nyr wanted to put in code to make spider nests auto spawn, and I wanted to add code for custom 'piercing' tattoos...
the spiders won. and took a hell of a lot of my hope with them, because my argument against it was that they wanted to turn 'easier to set up monster spawns' into a thing, when monsters/npcs already do spawn on their own... and had 0 desire to give the player any hint more ability to customize their pc.
ps: it was the exact same script the custom tattooist currently uses, so it didn't even need more code. it was literally copy/paste mad libs, and since I wasn't admin+ I had no access to the test port, and nyr wouldn't test it. so he tells me to find an admin who will, and I find rathustra, present him, and next thing you know, rath pulls his support, too.
it's why I quit 2 weeks before I lost internet instead of the day before.

Just a reminder: this is a thread for posting positive examples of players on the GDB proving they're not all brainwashed vegetables and whipped dogs. It's not an ironic name.
