Joe,
You accused Pete of changing maps "because he wasn't winning" and then asked for an apology from him without knowing all the facts. Had that comment been directed at me, insulted would be a very mild way of describing what my mood would be like. BUT, we're adults here and need to act accordingly. I'm not mad at you and anybody that is upset will get over it quickly. As admins our job is to help keep the servers fun for as many people as possible. It's been said thousands of times, nobody will be happy all of the time. In this case Rugger did a major overhaul to what some perceive as changes that were requested by a very small minority of players, so yeah, some people resent it a little bit. In his infinite wisdom, Rugger made the changes and now it's up to us to sort through them and hopefully wind up with something that most of us are happy with. In the meantime I strongly suggest that everybody who wants to be heard pays attention to the message boards and offer very specific input with what they would like to see.
It's like voting in an election. If you don't vote you have no right to complain. If anybody sees people in-game complaining about the servers tell them to get in here and post their suggestions or shut the fuck up (in a nice way of course). We've been discussing this for almost a month and there's only been about 6 people that have been involved in the discussion. Let's make this a group effort and get the job done.
LOM,
My comments have been taken as a personal attack towards an administrator, when in fact I was asking for some ``consistency`` between this particular administrators actions and statements. Nothing else. I did not question this persons integrity, good name or reputation, I was demanding and explanation, because for many of us playing here is a privilege.
We make time to play, we don`t play to kill time. Finding the COD2 server full of players is a treat, but having, at the same time, an administrator around, who is changing not one, but two maps in a row, and is in the process of changing a third one, without letting anyone know, or saying why, with XI members playing and asking the maps not to be changed is to say the least...``disconcerting``.
And it gets even more ``disconcerting: when you go to the web site and find a post from the exact same administrator, a few hours later, telling the members that if they don`t like a map there`s no need to worry because a new map is only 20 minutes away.. I don`t know if I am getting my point across, and to be honest I think is irrelevant at this point, because this whole issue is, excuse my language, fucked up.
I apologize if I used the wrong means to voice my concerns, but can`t apologize for having these concerns in the first place.
Cheers
Joe
