Ulrich Jailed; CTT Gone Sour

-Sigh.- The one thing to break my focus going into leveling. A speeding, ksing ass.

Even worse, a good guild going bad.

CTT is quickly turning into KOL, only worse. KOL has always been packed with speeders, ksers, scammers, and whatever else, but Tone's been trying hard to keep them out, and for that, KOL has a reviving feature. But when Whoops and Steeldimond downloaded their speeders a month or so ago, Medusa said nothing, though she had once commented to me to tell her if any of her guildies are speeding, cheating or whatever else.

Both, thankfully, quit on their own, and continued down the path of a decent guild.

Only recently, a week ago or so, Whoops has that speeder back. Medusa was immediately notified, by myself, Berdy, and reportedly Tonedeff, and well, nothing has been done. He's even taken to ksing now.

But one person can't turn a guild sour. Members like Terriegirl, Silentscorpi, and Ragenevy are this guilds saviors right now. Medusa, you need to turn this guild around. I earlier saw a member trying to play drop wars. I've sent all the pms I could, and you said you'd report me for harassment. So now I have to head public.

CTT's going down the drain in the popularity section, and I've even heard member complaints, and gotten occasional hints at as many as 5 key members growing weary, and preparing to possibly leave.

Please Medusa, listen. We're not out to hurt you or your guild. We're not trying to tell you how to run your guild. We're asking that you stop a good guild from becoming a bad one.


Ulrich jailed.

The first pm I recieved when I came home from vacation was from Ulrich, then another from Amy. Apparently, Ulrich has been jailed unjustly by Arvid.

Here's the story, from what facts I've gathered:

A religous debate developed on global, developing from small religous comments. As in any other global debate, Tunkz and Ulrich were present. Mtcrowly made a comment about how the Virgin Mary had a child if she didn't have sex.

I believe it was Arvid who hinted at technology.

B;ah, who cares. A bunch of stupid comments go on, Arvid and the rest against Ulrich. It seems like Arvid wasn't being serious enough, and Ulrich a bit too much. Ulrich turned to, I believe,m bashing Tunkz and Arvid, and was eventually jailed.

Which brings something into question. Are the admins corrupt?

I'm tired of it.

THE ADMINS ARE TEENAGERS GOD YES THEY ARE CORRUPT. What people want is a boring, word for word admin who lives by the ToS, though they constantly complain when Vult does this. Arvid is a great admin, and moderator. He is a necessary part of the... mostly nonexistant EO moderation team. He seems to be the only real moderator, though I'm glad to see when other admins get online. His tactis are slightly biased towards himself, but this allows people that normally wouldn't be looked at to be jailed. The other moderators, if they existed, could easily go back, investigate, and release innocents. But the admins are too busy for that. WE NEED MODERATORS. MODERATORS DAMMIT.

Vult, screw new maps, and cheat protections, new items and bosses, new features. Focus 5 new version on it if you have to. MODERATION. I have alot of people who would do great as admins, They are trustable, and have most, if not all of the traits to be a great moderator, fair and just, as well as loyal, listed in the order best candidate to worse.

Ephy - GOD MAKE EPHY A FREAKING ADMIN THIS GUY WOULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE COMBINED!!!!!!

Nehalem - He's a very kindhearted guy, but can get tough if necessary. He's very intelligent and reminds me ALOT of Ephy.

Mansun - Mansun has all the things the above two have, only a lack of time. He always seems to be busy, and I don't know if he'd like a job like that.

Espii - Yea, myself. I'd be a very strict, tough ass admin, alot like a second Arvid. I'd always be fair, probably UNLIKE Arvid, and have more time than anyone else I know.

I feel like I'll recieve alot of bashing for this one... And I'll even say, I question myself for it...

Berdy - Berdy has used cheats, and isn't all that kind hearted to anyone not his friend. But his knowledge of the cheating community could be a VERY valuable tool for moderation. The biggest problem: I could definitely see Berdy being biased. A very questionable condidate that should be CLOSELY watched if chosen. Sorry if I've offended you Berdy. xD

I've heard alot about Rashaln. Never met him once, and have no idea who he is. Everyone's told me he'd make a great admin.

Nezlo - Nezlo would be a very fair, and pretty strict admin. The biggest problem with Nezlo: Would he even want to be an admin? And could he do so without growing weary of the job?


These candidates are right off the top of my head. With Arvid, the other admins with light participation, and maybe 4 Moderators, Vult and the others would be able to relax and take their time. Vult could focus on programming ways to stop the current cheats, while the moderators not only keep the peace in EO, but serve as eyes and ears for Vult.

I've heard Vult's reasons for not recruiting admins. And I'm here to present my arguments to that.

He wishes to solve the problems of the game via programming.

ANY and EVERY game, no matter how great the programming, needs moderators. Glitches happen, people need help, harassment is not blockable via programming. I can go on and on. We need to get these moderators in action, and they need experience before Beta comes. You need to know they can do the job, do it right, and know they're GOOD at doing the job.


We need cheaters to find and exploit these glitches, so they'll be fixed.

True. Very true, as well as logical thinking. You need those cheaters in this game, but you also don't need to let those cheaters drive the good people away. Many of the most respected players are getting tired of all the cheating. And many are leaving the game because of that. As far as keeping cheaters to find bugs: No programming, and no moderation will stop every hacker, harasser, bug exploiter, and cheater in this game. It will take a combination of both, and until we have both at 100%, we won't stop them all. Besides, go to Test. Test lacks any rules, and is filled with cheaters. Using the Test Server for such a thing would put the point back into it.


Vult doesn't trust anyone enough.

Very simple. Ephy is definitely, indisputably trustable. Mansun and Nehalem, I know them both well, but I will not stake a 100% loyalty on them, though I believe they'd be great. So Vult has to take risks. If any admins cause problems, delete and rollback. Simple and done. Give the admins a test session, to make saure they're capable of what they're doing. Moderators are best hired in Alpha than Beta or after.

I can tell by the lag this has been a long post, so I'll stop now. Any arguments, suggestions, support, or whatever should be left as comments.

Any close friends of Vult, if you think it's worth it, refer him to this post. Also, beat him with a stick and make him comment. All admins are more than welcome to comment, and I'd appreciate it if you did. You don't need a blogger account to comment. It let's you post anonimously. Just use your name. =]
