You wanted the tileset up RIGHT AWAY, and I was busy with other things at the time. Thus, due to your need for haste, it fell upon you.

But I did add a good deal of the content to the server as it was being remade, or did you forget that?

Well duh Zerxus did it, he had the levels, I did not. It is rather hard to add to the server what you are not in possession of.

Incorrect. Plus, I was a Manager, not a LAT. It seemed to me we had about 5 LATs at the time, why would I be required to take a bulk of the level work upon myself?

And the only thing you did to help it was look over PrinceDark and Zerxus while they did their jobs. We're even, then?

40 is quite an incorrect number. The amount of work was done by a team, at
the rate in which a team should work. I made over 120 unique levels BY MYSELF, and edited over 20 with Zerxus. This is during the time while I was practically running the place, including all of the staff, almost by myself.

I was quite clear. I am upset that Wan used Graal News as a means to spread his biased propaganda.

So turn Graal News into a means for battling eachother over a topic that does not exactly belong there in the first place? It is because things like this would be allowed to happen that the publication already earns little respect.

And I've made scripts, levels, graphics, managed the staff, ect. Just because his work was more localized to a single thing does not mean he has done more of it. Besides, I was talking about over the last 8-10 months. for a good 4-5 of them, Zerxus was not present.

What, you mean like the Glory you tried to take for EoA's content that he mostly made?
Sorry, I'm not attempting to take the credit for anyones work, I'm just quite upset that everything I've done may be overlooked when convenient.

Complete fallacy.

If the words "A few" cover substantially higher numbers than it did the last time I checked, sure.
You're also seeming to forget that I was RUNNING THE SERVER. Is it fair that I should be expected to not only manage the staff, but do an equal amount of work level wise as a member of the LAT?

When they can not possibly do their jobs without contacting you first after you've empowered them to do so, yes. And according to you, more work got done, so it looks like I was right, huh?

Well, maybe there was a reason why things were getting done better when you were gone, than when you were staff.
Because everyone was doing their job without waiting for me to give them permission, like I had been telling them to all along. It took the drastic act of my leaving for it to happen.

Cool, show me where I said I want credit for everything you've done.
