The reasons he has to suck up to you are so you will do exactly what you are doing. Supporting him! He is nice to enough people so that they will say great things about him and make him look good. It doesnt really matter WHO... just so long as its a big number. Nemesis did the same thing, so did Mr. Bear. Mogwai is 100% right.
We treat him this way because we have reasons. We have seen him trying to steal Konidias' account to steal Oasis, we have seen him abuse his global RC, we have seen the way he gives special (and unfair) treatment to his friends and his "wife" You don't see this.. why? Because Stefan and Unixmad want to keep it secret, they want to continue having a suck up staff like Malinko making some players happy so they dont have to. It's sad but its true. I have no big gripes with Malinko continuing to do what he does now, but I know what the natural progression is after this.. go higher and higher and thats wrong. Mark my word, Malinko will show his corruption sooner rather than later (even though he already has, several times)
And saying that Stefan hired you back even though Ibonic fired you isnt much to brag about. Not only are you pointing out horrible managment skills on Stefan's part, but you are pointing out that someone like Ibonic.. someone we all trust and know.. does not think you should be staff. I would take Ibonic's word over anyone elses on this forums in a heartbeat because I know he would not lie to me. In fact a lot of times he may be TOO honest with me. Yes Malinko, tell us WHY you were fired. Stefan is happy having you where you are because you have no power. I told him my concerns about you gaining power, and the first and only thing he said back was, "malnko has no power
