<3 But that will never happen I'm afraid.

BUT SRSLY,

Promoting more Staff = more potential candidates for Advisor. With more choices, you will inevitably be promoting better Advisor's. If one of your Orange boys leaves now, you only have two potential candidates to step up. Unless of course, you promote Wartheft back to that old position. I think it's slim pickings.

There's also a lot to say about having an ambitious, proactive approach to managing the community. You could move rightful candidates to Staff, give them servers to manage and let them commit energy to growth instead of responsibility.

While I agree with what you are saying, but i also believe that quantity doesn't always mean quality. When people are given servers to manage, or moderation on the forums, they all fall just like higher ups do. We've both been through this cycle so many times and know how it goes. We have always had periods of good, and periods of bad, we just need to try to cycle and find the right ones. I feel that we (meaning the staff who were considered decent) were all always ambitious prior to our promotions. I also feel that nobody has that drive now, and all of these posts are cool in thought, but we're not seeing the potential in anyone with actual potential.

Hi.

So some of you probably don't know me but a lot of you do. I've taken a pretty prolonged LOA from EgN and Counter Strike for a while. I've come back to play/participate in community (great, right). I play JB mostly and minigames occasionally, I'm an admin on JB and been in EgN since Summer 2014, so like 2 years. I know I have't been around as long as a most of you, but I just like to throw the 2 years out there to show I've been here long enough to see a few of the ups and downs. In the 3 days I've "rejoined" (even though I never "left" - never removed my tags or resigned) I must say I've been pretty satisfied. I've put in maybe 5 hours a day in these 3 days, so probably around 15 hours. I've already seen and talked to almost all of the advisors and staff. I've made maybe 5 bans in this time, and each time, within no joke 5 minutes after I made the report, they were all extended, with a reply. Sinister even added me on steam to sort out a conflict with one of my bans. So I've seen some activity and thats a good positive. Again, I haven't been around these past few months and the forums can only update you so much, so I can't vouche for what has or hasn't happened. But my 2 cents is that it doesn't seem as entirely horrible as everyone is making it out to be. From my naive 3 day viewpoint.

On the Con side of what I've observed, there are very little admins and aside from the few times I've seen the advisors and staff come on, I don't think I have seen a single person higher than member come online for more than 5 minutes except for Phillip. So, thats probably not good idk.

Just thought I'd throw this stuff out there to stir the pot a little so not everyone is all against the higher ups. This community is still pretty cool in my opinion, and I'd like to stay a part of it and help when I can.

Thanks.

Matt your sample size of 3 days is not valid enough to be a considerable contribution.

Targets for EgN:

1. Join EgN [x]
2. Become Supreme Leader []

Lol?

Phillip worded it nicely, and im in agreement with him

There was only One reason why people left around that time... You guys had nothing to do with anything that happened.. Either you/they didn't have their higher up positions, or just recently got it. Just look at SilverHybrid, who was staff like just a week or less.. (I don't remember if he got demoted or left) because he straight up spoke out about what we were all thinking and what the problem was.

666th post, I'm going to hell.

I've said that we needed more EU higher ups, as Staff+ are never on for my time. (GMT/EU time)

The current Staff+ seem to be doing a good job, Sinister could be a little more involved on the forums, but i don't have any major dramas.

If anything was going to happen to the current higher ups, then i'd say a European (or close to) staff member or two.

That's all :D

I nominate Mr. Habibi as our European representative.

#MakeEgNGoatsAgain

Fuck that. If habibi gets Staff, i might consider death. Just no. Please, no. Staff+ i fucking beg, don't make Habibi Staff+.
