Daz has been given leniency for his inactivity due to irl issues. His duties are being handled until he returns full time. It’s obvious that you think that when we do not submit to every demand you or anyone else have regarding gangs or businesses then nothing is being done at all. Things do get done and decisions are made, but only when they call for it. Not just because Wil Soul or anyone else demands it.

Who can say this is any better than Icarus' or TSAdmin's Era? lol.

A step backwards? I don’t see how Era is any worse than it was when there was a staff change. It’s true there have been some setbacks ever since our Dev Team came into existence. However, it took some time but we are currently back on track and working on things we should have been from the start. As for maturity, ill be honest. I am probably the most mature staff member on Era simply because I am older than everyone else. That is not to say that I have a bunch of immature kids working under me because that isn’t the case. For the most part most of the staff are mature and rarely goof off.

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 resent this. First of all, you are implying I hire people to do work for me when I could do it myself. It’s no secret to anyone that I am not a Developer. I don’t script and I am not especially skilled at level making so obviously I would Hire LAT’s, NAT’s etc. But I have personally only hired a few dev members here and there. I let the Dev Admin decide who to hire unless I feel strongly about a specific person.

Also the fact that I do not develop is bitter sweet in my opinion. On one hand I could contribute more to the addition of all the new content and speed up the process. On the other hand I do not have that holding me back from focusing on my other duties. Because of this all of my focus goes into managing the staff team as a whole, making sure the server continues to move forward and that everyone is doing the job they were hired to do. Making sure everyone gets along and that my RC stays drama free. As a past Admin you should know that this isn’t always as easy as it sounds. It isn’t always as simple as asking someone to do something and getting results or a yes or no answer. Sometimes I have to bring out a side of me that I don't like to show. But it's required sometimes in order to make sure things go according to plan.

What else am I having all these people do for me? Even though there are other departments given these specific jobs, I still handle any issues regarding scams, items, biz & gangs if people come directly to me and I am not busy or no one else is on. You don’t work with me and you hardly ever speak to me so I think your opinion of me is flawed.

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.

You are not giving him enough credit. Squirt is a capable person, and has learned a whole lot ever since I brought him on as a GP. He learns more and more with each day and is deserving of his current position.

His post about wanting to focus on non-pk related ideas really made me lose all hope for Era's future.

I loathe corruption, and I do not stand for it. I am very strict when handling any situation regarding it. This is a major difference between myself and some of the past Admins. I’m not really sure what you are talking about with the Chris situation and me ignoring you. If it has to do with a robot then I took care of it as soon as I got a pm from you. As for him being in charge of “Era’s future”, that isn’t totally accurate. While he does have most of the control on new content, it is not a dictatorship. He gets feedback from Me, Squirt and lots of other staff about any new ideas or any concepts regarding the “New” Era and takes all of it into account. I think you should appreciate someone like Chris a little more. He has done TONS of work for Era in the amount of time he has been staff, and not a lot of people give him credit for this. And despite what others may think he is probably one of the most mature kids I have ever seen in his age group.
