Sanction

[Laowai]

Allright, im not going to argue the fors and againts for all the arguments made here.

Im going to keep what i say pretty simple and Rules-lawyer proof.

As the newest of the admin team, i will say this - To blindly say that a member of that the admin team makes decisions without thought of the consequences is just pure ignorance, and dead-set wrong. Everyone is is entitled to their opinion, and Tenacity, you're entitled to yours, but let me say that the statements you made concerning Del and Xoria were ignorant, and they were wrong.

I will add this, things are discussed, things are assessed, decisions are made. Those decisions are looked again, and again and again... no member of the admin team here is infallible, are any of you infallible? If so, please step up....I consider myself one of the most fallible of creations' creatures, i know i'm going to make mistakes - i know im going to make some tough decisions.
If a decision is found to be wrong, do you think an admin member wont admit it? If a decision is made that is considered necessary, but is unpopular, you will see us defend it, if things are said to be a work in progress - do you not think that the state of that progress will be as considered as it can be? Do you honestly think that an admin goes - "oh Blah do that" - without giving it a second thought? I mean.. seriously? are you kidding?

Player sentiment is considered in admin thinking, as is the good of the server, and a million other teeny little factors that players who are thinking in linear terms with the blinkers on have the luxury of not having to think about. It's so easy to be an armchair general, a hell of a lot tougher when suddenly you are responsible.
And im saying this now after three weeks on the job.

In my short time i have seen decisions looked at over and again, old decisions revisited, questions asked, ramifications considered, multiple points of view tossed about, fors and against parried, sleep not had, caffeine abused, game time missed out on.... and they volunteer for it?!

Take a deep breath people, step back, remember you are playing a game, and there are a lot of people, Players and yes, admins who have shown a lot of time and dedication to this place - Del is one of them, Xoria is another, As are so many other people who frequent this place.
Put things in perspective, step back and think about things before shooting one's mouth off or... hitting "Send" on an inflammatory post - and if you really, REALLY feel the need to vent at someone, do them the courtesy of taking it to them personally via a Pm.
