What makes you think we were "good friends"?

Oh, okay. So what was my version?

You're completely fabricating this stuff. You're taking advantage of the fact that nobody remembers what happened in those days and weaving a fiction to paint your predecessors as incompetent tyrants. It's even better if the people you're attacking haven't posted on the forums in a while, right? Neither Birdbird nor I have been active here for years - you could invent some close-knit friendship to explain my appointment to manager and nobody would know the difference. Right?

The reality:

I managed 2K1 for a very short period of time, and I quit because it seemed like the only way I could prevent staff corruption was by firing all of my staff. How long do you think I would've remained manager if I'd done that?

During my time, I worked on two things:
First, I improved the interface. I added the 'minimessage' system to replace the awful method of informing the player of something by changing his chat text. I also added a system to allow players to report bugs, because I saw too many old issues that had been ignored because the development team had continually been distracted by new projects. I was eventually going to replace the inventory system, but I wasn't around long enough.
Second, I worked with kingdoms to add features relevant to them and to enact RP events.

I didn't change any levels. I didn't change any gameplay dynamics. You say that I harmed 2K1? Fine. If you're saying it because you think it's true then I'm willing to listen. But I think we both know that you're just playing politics.
