Popular Post PeanutButterNJelly May 8, 2017 Popular Post Share PeanutButterNJelly May 8, 2017 I was asked to be a board member because the GC members and the non-members and admins were causing so much drama all the time. No one could deal with it. When I was asked to do this, I was told it was not a reward. I was being asked to do something that was not easy. Well it wasnt easy, actually most of the time it was horrible. Initially I had to deal with problems every single night, when I would get home from work. It was ridiculous. I own and run a business and after working 10 hours minimum a day, I spent 4+ hours a night dealing with L4D2 problems. All on a volunteer basis. However, after a very long time, and taking a lot of abuse and being in the middle of many arguments (and most importantly, ridding ourselves of some people who always seemed to be involved in issues), things changed around and I was rarely involved in any issue. I have always tried to be unbiased and help everyone, regardless of past issues. I did not try to take sides based on whether the person is an admin, member or non member or someone I liked or disliked. I tried to make sure our rules and protocols covered as many situations as possible and that they were uniformly administered. I realize the game is old and may not attract as many new people now and I realize people want to add spice to the game. However there are ways to do this, without purposely skirting the rules to tinkle off admins or annoy other players. I put way too much time in this and I am not going to let a tiny number of people get back to the old ways of drama and issues. If you ever pm'd me about an issue, whether it was a problem with an admin or another player or to check on your membership or buying other people memberships or setting up new admins... you know that I always responded and always did the work with no complaints. I will not put up a couple of people purposely trying to be jerks, but saying they are within the rules. I am not going to spend my time arguing technicalities of the rules. Just stop being jerks. Play the game the right way. Have fun. If you are bored leave, but dont pull this crap about "i am not techinically breaking a rule" If you are actually serious about adding something to a game that you are bored with, then get up off your butt and organize something. I did things before even becoming an admin and before becoming a board member. I organized fun things for all to do (or I tried). Anyone can help set up custom nights, vip times, pathing times. Come up with your own ideas (everyone playing specific classes or using certain weapons, or whatever). Dont be the problem, be the solution. Send me a message if you have an idea or want to run something new (or old). Dont purposely be a jerk in the server. I have no patience for it anymore. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny May 8, 2017 Share Johnny May 8, 2017 You can never get rid of me! Also if you have some fun ideas for customs night, post here: http://gamrs.co/forums/index.php?/topic/46896-saturday-night-customs-with-johnny/ Be quick though! The first one is this Saturday. I was thinking something like ... jockeys only with baseball bats and 1 pistol lol. I wonder if JC can make it happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneypumpkin May 8, 2017 Share looneypumpkin May 8, 2017 (edited) Well said Peanut. You have done a good job, done well to stay neutral and hold up the rules. You are very much appreciated for all the time and effort you have put into the server, so please don't ever think no one appreciates what you do. I think we all want to see the server around for a long time and eventually see L4D3 up on 10v10 (or heck maybe they'll allow for 20v20 by then!) I'm not bored with the game by far (even 2200hrs into it) probably because I'm extremely lucky to get an hour in a day these days and it is my escape from everything. Death charging someone (ie, peanut) never gets old. I'm trying to become a better hunter so that has given me lots of joy lately. If anyone wants to do a set time for VIP/pathing I can try to be available most nights 8pm CST - 10ish pm CST. During daytime hours if I'm lucky and my son takes a nap and I'm not covered up with work, I could have a few hours then, if only to be AFK and make sure everything is set up correctly, peek in every so often. I can even come in to change maps for folks if they're stuck with something they don't want (like the Passing.)

ctrlfrk May 8, 2017 Share ctrlfrk May 8, 2017 You appear to have the perfect disposition for this job Peanut, so I'm glad you're doing it. Please allow a little bit of drama though because it makes for good reading while I'm at work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
