Here's my opinion. I'll start from the very top of the staff list.

As a manager of a server, the possibilities are endless. When you're in such position there are a lot of things that you can do to further better the server. What I've noticed is that Deo does not use his position to it's full potential. He takes the easy route. Technically, he's doing his job as a manager, but in the most minimal way possible. From my judgment, he hires other people to do the work for him while sitting back just being there to approve and deny certain development proposals made by other admins. You can say that's what a manager is supposed to do, but in my opinion, good managers are a lot more involved with the server.

I'm open to be proven wrong, and I'm sure Squirt and Chris are going to rip this post apart to do so. Deo is obviously setting off a horrible impression as the manager if what I'm saying is false.

Next.

When Squirt was first hired to the staff team, I couldn't help but laugh at him. I had no idea who this guy was yet he was handed GP Chief. As time went by I've come to respect him more. I was told that he did a lot of work to release instruments so he seems dedicated to me. I just don't think he should be anything more than a GP. What worries me is that if Deo for some reason gets fired or steps down, Squirt would be next in line for manager. It's a logical assumption. I do hope that if Deo is put in a situation where he is no longer manager, Bell can be convinced to put someone more qualified into the position.

Next!

I lost a lot of respect for Chris when I saw his corruption at first hand. After explaining to Deo what happened, nothing was done. After submitting a support ticket, Chris lied to Tig. Cool! Apart from that, he's a great developer. I just don't think he should be in the position to control Era's future. His post about wanting to focus on non-pk related ideas really made me lose all hope for Era's future.

I like Graal, and I like Era. It makes me pretty mad knowing that the wrong people are in charge of this server. The direction it's going in is going to make Era a whole different place than what it really should be. I guess nothing can be done except wait and hope that either sense is knocked into the administration, or that they are replaced.
