Any time you're implying that the mud is poorly run (specifically in relation to other muds) only because it's run in a way with which you disagree' date=' that's a flame, of the MUD and the IMMs. It really can be that simple.[/quote']
Hrm. I suppose I disagree pretty strongly on htat. Implying you believe there is something wrong with the mud or the way its run isn't necessarily a flame if presented in the right way.
I am going to say, without trying to be mean, rude angry or emotional that I think FL needs consideribly more staff. FL in its prime had between two and three times the current staff. There is a reason there are imm levels. Give people chances, but watch them. I know there are -alot- of untrustworthy people out there. Bring imms on slowly, but do it. Give people chances. Have the other imms watch them. Its not a waste of your current imm task force because its a slow process which does require dedication and work but in the end makes the mud better.
And as for coders, there is a reason Genesismuds allows multiple logins to the server, with the ability to lock folders. You can give a snippet writer the ability to write code, but not port it over. Once its done and bug free, the head coder moves it over and puts it into the game. Its a process the vast majority of good muds use.
Locked Phases of Nercuros
Doesn't FL have 3 imps and 11 immortals right now? All of which are fairly active? That's pretty close to FL's 'PRIME' if you ask me. They COULD of had more staff back then, but certainly not more active.
FL NEVER had 3 times the current staff.
That would be 30 Immortals.
*Izlimak - Staff Liaison - 59
*Anithraril - Immortal - 55
@Eshaine - Immortal - 55
Kaauld- Demigod - 53
*Khaede - DemiGod - 54
Raargant - DemiGod - 54
@Wathok - DemiGod - 54
Prax - Demigod - ??
- = I haven't seen them all month. Some of them I am not even sure hold imm spots anymore. I understand Izlimak not. Higher level imms have a lot more to do.
@ = very limited sightings.
Maybe we have a decent sized imm staff, but when they stay wizinvis all the time its kinda hard to notice them. I am -not- trying to offend. Its a basic fact that most of the imms don't leave wizinvis alot, when IMHO they should be out there helping RP.
EDIT: There are currently only 3 immortals who actually leave wizinvis a good amount of the time, so here go my props to Raarg, Prax and Kaauld.
Are you kidding? Eshaine is one of THE most active IMM's.
I have heard she summons people up alot. Maybe its my timezone, but I never see her.
Eshaine is on most of the time, just invis.
Wathok is gone. Izlimak... heh, guess.
But yea, props to Raar, Prax, Kaauld, Eshaine as well.
The current IMM staff (again) is:
Behrens
Malchaeius
Chayesh
Alofus
Eshaine
Anithraril
Khaede
Athara
Raargant
Prax
Kaauld
Alofus is still here? Coding?
Hes just a bit alof.
So corny...I'd shoot myself but it had to be done...
Talking to people, I append my list to include Eshaine.
Raarg, Eshaine, Prax, Kaauld are the imms who do the majority of rping.
Fl had three times THAT number doing the rping.
Warpnow, I'm going to have to be the one to say something which a good deal of both IMMbase and pbase wants to say to you.
Stop fing b*ing.
Because, quite frankly, that's what nearly ALL your posts are about, from people who don't RP the way you want them to, to people who full loot, to IMM's not doing what you want them to do, and so on and so forth.
Seriously. Please shut up if you don't have anything nice to say, to IMM or mort alike.
If in the next 5 days I see a single negative complaint/bitch/whine posts from you, I'm slapping a 5 day ban. That's a promise.
This thread has been derailed, and I'm locking it. However, Fiv, I do like the idea. If you have any updates, please feel free to create a new thread at a later point in time, but don't be pushy with Iru.
