  • Executives shouldn't be appointed by the owner

    @wild1145#3830 But it hasn't... We've got a shitely low player base where we max 20 players in a 24 hour window, and the exec's are scared to do their fucking jobs because they don't want to lose the next popularity contest and get voted out... It's just not sustainable to have the entire senior staff team re-hired every 3 months because they lose a popular vote which has absolutely fuck all to do with their actual skill set.

    Have you considered the fact that we are a server from a game that is declining, and that the advertisement team while doing their job (as evidenced in their activity log) it's much more difficult given a lack of budget (Seth refused to give assistance from what I could gather), as well as this they have real lives. If you're unable to see this then the community should be making the decision as the community is much more likely to know personal circumstance with each executive, no?

    @wild1145#3830 It's about getting documents signed to grant individuals access to ATLAS resources where they can work with our team, things like introductions and getting them up to speed with how things work and how things have been ran, and getting them pointed in the direction we want to be going in. It's a MASSIVE amount of admin and wasted effort just because people want to go on a little power trip every 3 months and potentially re-hire the entire servers senior staff.

    I'm sorry, why does the executive in charge of designing shit need access to all of ATLAS' things? Why does any of the execs need access to all of ATLAS' things to be completely honest? Just give a panel or some shit and let them do with that - none of the execs aside from the security officer at most should need access to anything more than that?

    @wild1145#3830 Then either take it up with me, vote me off, or find somewhere else to play...

    Brilliant mentality. Not childlike at all.

    @wild1145#3830 I've observed the server during most of Seth's leadership, and the community bullied him into doing what they wanted him to, despite much of it being to the overall detriment of the server.

    Yes but that's not relevant to what I'm saying. Afaik Seth didn't even get involved with the decision. The EAO at the time proposed a system to hold executives accountable and everyone else agreed. That's got nothing to do with 'bullying'

    @wild1145#3830 We went from AVERAGING 20-30 players constantly when he took over to now peaking at 15-20 players in the holidays..

    You're forgetting that people grow up and, as said before, Minecraft is declining as a game. In typing this I'm not even sure if your point here as it's got nothing to do with the fact that the community decided to make this a policy, not Seth?

    @wild1145#3830 I've at no point said I was going to remove applications or anything like that, but I've said I'm no longer going to be doing blind voting for people to hold one of the most senior ranks on this server and the responsibilities that come with it.

    Well, we know you have friends in the admin team. I've actually seen a few reinstate conveniently in recent weeks. How do we know you're not just going to appoint them in random places and, when we confront you, you just spout this 'Don't like it? Leave.' bullshit?

    @wild1145#3827 A server cannot function if the senior staff are fucked around with every 3 months

    Seems to have worked well so far. No exec has been voted out aside from the ESL named Wize, who was inactive anyway. They've only resigned.

    @wild1145#3827 It causes massive amounts of administrative overhead for me and the team at ATLAS to re-jig peoples access around and means you lose any semblance of stability.

    Get a proper panel and make it easier for yourself then?

    @wild1145#3827 If you don't like who is being appointed to the role, then you can bring it up with me

    So what if you just appoint a good buddy of yours to the role? Then what?

    Quote

    @wild1145#3827 what I feel is the more sane way to be managing it.

    Sane to you because you weren't around nor active enough to see the consequences of having things done your way. This wasn't a system that was just introduced by Seth on a whim. We all voted this in and thought it was a better idea than having random ass appointments.

    @wild1145#3825 so you're just going to undermime everything we've done in the last year just because you can? Pretty disgusting imo.


    The purpose of an exec is to do specific tasks. Nowhere does it say the owner should appoint them, and it's something you've just completely made up to justify your own shitty decision.

    wild1145, this isn't good enough


    You can't just make such a substantial change without prompt. You can't just lock the thread announcing it, either. We deserve a say on who does what. That's how it's been for the past year. It's utterly fucking ridiculous that such a change has been made.


    I propose it gets changed back, and the community votes in execs. The owner shouldn't handpick who does what. We're literally just reverting to the pile of shit we were in at the end of Windows' time


    If this could be moved to suggestions I'd appreciate it.

    @Nathaniel_428#3617 I bypass bans because I want attention from people

    ok

    @Nathaniel_428#3617 I have decided to hate bowie because she is more popular and outgoing than me. For that very reason, that's why I want bowie to leave the server and to never come back.

    the fact you can control who you hate so easily is concerning

    Quote

    @Nathaniel_428#3617 The reason why I went for bowie and not lyicx is because she is more forgiving than him.

    you're sick

    @Nathaniel_428#3617 All I just wanted for Christmas is to be loved by everyone

    @Nathaniel_428#3617 Is a little company too much to ask?

    yes
