Unique Staff-Made Items for Player-Run Events

[Nevermore]

I'd just like the point out that even from the very first post of this thread luca has been editing chat logs and using them out of context to make the other person look bad.



Also he's got a grudge against me for circumventing our one holiday item per account limit we had on Christmas gifts, and getting the extra ones he got illegally away. (Even though I had stated many times that doing so could result in a ban).

But he's only making a stink for 'the good of the shard'

Excuse me, Nevermore? What is with the personal attack and blatant lie from a staff member on me? You must have me confused with someone else, because I was the one in IRC calling out people who were using multiple accounts to get extra holiday gifts. Infact, i traded 1 of my 3 holiday tickets with YOU. I have not taken ANY IRC conversations out of context whatsoever, please show me where this has happaned. I have not insulted anyone in this thread, I am discussing an issue and you are being straight up rude and literally making up lies about me now? To be honest you were never a major person involved in this whole item thing to begin with, you just happened to be the mod in the chatroom at the time, and instead of any useful discussion, you called people obnoxious and literally started harassing them. Is this really proper for a staff member?

So you're saying I didn't take the pile of snow and potted plant that you obtained illegally from you? And that you weren't banned from IRC for constantly directly insulting me, which I ignored until you did it when I was in the middle of promoting shard events and answering questions for new characters? You'd STILL be banned from IRC to his day if I had any idea how to use it, when I was discussing your issues in IRC with Derrick he agreed that you should not be allowed back in the channel. The only reason you are was because apparently the ban I gave you was only temporary.

Yes, I am saying EXACTLY that. You never took anything from me. I did not 'abuse' any holiday system. I'm not sure whom you are thinking of. The only thing I've ever said about you in IRC was that you wrongly removed me from a Last Man Standing game. I called you out on an abuse of power (which derrick himself agreed you did), and you banned me for a day in IRC because of it. And now you're falsely harassing me yet again for discussing an issue? This is truly ridiculous staff behavior...

Are you seriously asking a player where some items in your backpack came from...?

And I'd appreciate this thread to stay on topic. Did you read Maahes post on page 2 about this whole situation (The GM who created Blackfoot's items)?

Even though I was the one who conjured up the items for today's events, i was not fully aware of the frequency these events were being held. I believe these "special" rewards should only be offered for "special" occasions.

Although i think all events are special in their own way, now that I think about it, the rewards given today were too valuable for the size of the event. I apologize for my lack of judgment and will make sure to be more informed in the future.

So basically Luca and krypto are retards (this was previously established) and nevermore is an asshole (also previosly established), and you're arguing about events you have no involvement with (out of choice), the prizes and how they should be run...


ye ur all bad at uo

100% serious.

[Pat]

I would say that the issue has nothing to do with how the event was ran and hes not trying to control how the event was ran.

The issue is about the valuable rares that are being handed out so easily.

Wow, all kinds of accusations from nevermore but he actually has no idea about the items in his pack.

[Nevermore]

They're actually in my bank box, if we're being specific.

LOL, right on the money mark

This thread is now locked due to the inability to maintain civil conversation on topic of whether or not special items should be given out at staff assisted player run events or staff events.


I have provided rewards for the majority of Blackfoots events. I have done the same for other players who have approached me for assistance in running events.

I think as staff that we make good judgment calls on how and when we give special rewards.

The amount of unique items that have been given out has been blown out of proportion in this thread, however I can not give an exact number.

ANY PLAYER can request an event. You hear about Blackfoots the most because he constantly is running an event, staff assisted and non staff assisted. If there were several more request, I know that his staff assisted events would be less due to the work load that would put on me, and he would have to wait in line.

I rarely have request for help in events from players.

I do agree that there needs to be some discussion on how they impact the shard. I encourage a civil conversation to move over into the accuracy and suggestion forum, without any pointing fingers or name calling.

I can assure you that there is no staff corruption or favoritism. I know that Derrick would not stand for this, nor any of the other staff members as we work extremely hard here to have a successful and fun T2A shard , and no single staff member would ever risk having any blemish on that dream.

Again, if Blackfoot enjoys running museums and events so much, then why not make him staff? Why not hold him to the same standards as all other GMs here (which is no GM can have a player character). He's just circumventing the system by being a 'proxy'. And as far as the frequency of the items go, even the GM who made them now thinks that it's been too much. There is without a doubt people who never go to player run events (felix), that is only going to these particular events because of the items. I was also told that a lot of these events had a very low turnout (in some cases 2 or 3 people), and Blackfoot STILL ran the event, which 'guaranteed' the prizes to the players there (usually a UoH member or one of BFs friends).

Because if he became staff he would not be allowed to play the game. Staff members are not allowed to play. Period.
