Staff block madness!
 

couldn't find the old thread so I made a new one.

this is pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

I agree, especially with the upload times. That's way excessive.

chris u r so quick on everything <3

Deja vu.

Doesn't the news window pop up when you login anyways?

Don't you worry, those two event related ones will disappear tomorrow.

Only if the news has been updated since your last viewing of it.

Yes, I finally have backup. :]

Why is there a certain day for each gp to upload? Why not do it whenever x_x? Also I sent in my head but it never got uploaded :(.

I agree, I don't think staff follow the whole schedule very well.
I also think that's its disrespectful to the other Gps that upload to not upload on your day cause that leaves all the heads sent in for the other gp to upload.
It all depends on how many heads are sent in and how much time it takes to upload imo.

I agree completely.

instead of ****ing around with tools and being completely unproductive, they should make an effort to upload more. if a player PMs a GP asking to upload a head that they just sent to the e-mail, should the GP really try to toss the responsibility upon someone else by saying "oh it's not my upload day." how unprofessional is that?

but then again, you'd be lucky to even receive a PM from the GP regardless if he fulfills your request or not since they will most likely ignore you.

Far far too many staff blocks used there, i totally agree it's not needed at all.

They just need to use the n thing its a lot easier,and for some buildings why do they need staffblocks to block them off just remove the link like the speedy pizza garage. Its very easy to do and it doesnt take that long.

staff blocks look so much uglier with huge font like that :eek:

No way, that's the font cool people use :fro:

impossible
i don't use it

;)

Owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol at them putting blocks down like ''Chris read AIM''

As I stated in the last post, I was trying to get Chris's attention (Which I also resorted to PM/RC) to discuss a few potential ideas/issues with the Newbie Course. I don't see the severe infringement on gameplay and its removal in less than three minutes isn't causing even enough of a problem. If there is truly a problem with this staff block, you can speak to me personally because out of all the people who went through that mall, you're the only one to have problems with it at 2:00 AM at night.

back in my days we disconnected people to get their attention. it works wonders.

10 points if you d/c them while they're doing something important.

Lol, I took a different approach. I'd understand if I truly block peoples entrances, but there is a stair case around to the other side if you HAD to be on the other side of the staff block. Compared to your reason of beginning the post, I think the staff team has done a good job controlling their urge of using staff blocks. I used it this once to get someone's attention (without disconnecting them.)

I think my approach to getting his attention was reasonable and shouldn't be criticized for destroying Era's gameplay.

I thought you'd be able to hint my sarcasm especially with my second sentence. I wasn't trying to say that what you did was bad.

Squirt used blocks to block me once :(.

:(

but anyone who has worked on a server knows excessive use of staff blocks is fun

Just because it's fun doesn't mean it's a good idea.

It's also fun to spawn unfair weapons and destroy the player population with it. Would you call that a good idea?

Try not to take everything deadly serious python.

pythons are pretty deadly serious

Staff blocks should be scripted to position themselves at int(x/y). It would save the hassle of having to place 1000 to cover a door(which shouldn't be done in the first place), just to cover all the cracks.

Era's are scripted that way.

lmao even though this is a pointless post i thought that comment deserved some kind of congratulations

bumpp

Ya. Get a ****ing bulletin board already. I mean, don't you have a news thing pop up when you log on?

1 year old thread is old.

But sadly still relevant.

I actually like that its on staffblocks. I mean unless its spammed like the first page. but its better for some people.

Stuff like that really doesn't need to be advertised as fixed anyway, lol.

We fixed bug that shouldn't have existed, we put block on mall for praise. kthnx.

I giggled in excitement when I saw that a thread of mine from the past has been bumped.
