Data, Johbson is not our leader. Stop insulting him. He is a host for the servers, and he keeps track of various builds and suggestions and what not.
If he's a host, then I don't see how he should have the ability to yell "Data, this is no longer the Bay12 official server", pack his bags, and leave. I'm willing to talk things out like a responsible adult, but all he wants to do is go back to the old version because I did something wrong once.
As for admins, I'm willing to admin your server, when I am available, but you just can't do things on it without telling your admins.
Which is why the last time I went in as Sylar, I actually used adminsay to inform the admins that I was going in. See? I am capable of adapting. But Johbson isn't willing to adapt to
me; all he talks about is wanting a perfect server. Except a perfect BYOND world is just like the imperfect real world: you can't change it that much.
You've already got your admins, your motd, and pretty much all of your settings. There are only two issues: me and Nameless. We both suddenly popped up in the midst of that. I was running about as Gabriel Gray although trying to restrain myself, and Nameless was, well, Nameless.
You may want to take note that there has been
one complaint toward me about joining as Gabriel. No other complaint was made, because I started watching my every move after that and didn't grief or kill anyone. Although I did kill Johbson once. Is that the thing pissing him off? I thought he would be able to handle it.
Unless there were indications to the contrary, I assume all rounds are serious, in the sense that admins don't give themselves what they want, and griefing by anyone gets dealt with.
Despite every time I joined in as Sylar, I always maintained proper RP as not to break the illusion for others. I also made sure I didn't overuse my powers, and I made damn well sure that if I was going to kill someone for their powers to get attention to my character that I'd picked someone who could handle it emotionally (i.e. not raging over OOC afterward) and I prefer picking targets I can revive afterward without weird looks.
You would make an excellent addition to the team. Note I said addition. We have at least one coder of our own, and maybe instead of just doing things, you should talk a bit about them.
Maybe instead of having some kind of leader-type person called Johbson, we should've worked together. As I said to Johbson, I don't see the reason working
for someone when I'm doing volunteer work. My work is for SS13; not for Johbson and may not even for Bay12, although I do get a positive feeling when you guys like my work and Bay12 certainly is bigger than the SS13 community.
You, Johbson, need to stop going crazy. You do not speak for all of us.
In that case, I'm putting my server back up and I'll just see what happens then. byond://ss13.net:8006 of course.
However, this is a team effort, and while you are team captain, we still have a say.
He's "team captain"? I never envisioned this. I saw Johbson as a guy I was working together with, not ruling over some team. This is exactly the same problem that happened between me and AZA a while ago: he wanted to hog the project for himself and we were just his slaves. Which is why I left.
Everyone else, I apologize for any problems that have occurred in the past few days. New arrivals always rock the boat a bit, and the old guard doesn't always want to make room for them. Hopefully we will figure this out and move on together.
Apparently Johbson can't. I already told him that the whole "I code in exchange for my ability to mess about" was a figure of speech of sort (in reality I code because I wanna see people like my features, but that's too lame and doesn't give me much leeway or benefits, nor does it explain why I should be allowed to mess about moreso than others
) and I told him to sleep over it.
Except the next day he was just as fierce as ever, claiming how it would never work out. Well, that's perhaps between me and Johbson, but I think it may work out with the rest of the Bay12 community, provided they're not
all about having a "perfect server" all the time (plus: how is Johbson's server perfect? What standards do you have to meet?
).
Yes, I occasionally mess about and give myself some kind of edge above others.
Yes, qwerty has already claimed that he does the same sometimes.
Yes, I use the knowledge I gain to improve the game even more (i.e. if an interface stinks I improve it, if I find a bug I fix it, if people yell at me I tone stuff down, ...).
No, I don't understand why Johbson has everything against me but nothing against qwerty if he does the same thing. If the only thing in the way is the whole "please inform other admins" thing then that's not even an issue since
I already do that!
