I did make a lot of promises without following through, but to be totally honest being manager sucks all of the fun out of developing for this server. Please cut Chris, and future managers, some serious slack because it's you and your ****ty attitude that makes us want to just say **** it and let the server rot. You're not doing Era any good by treating the people who spend countless hours of their time on trying to improve your server like total ****ing ****. Chris is truly your last hope, so don't scare him off.

Congrats Squirt on your newly found freedom, and good luck to Chris...I hope all of the fun isn't totally sucked out of it for you as it was for me.

I actually thought you did pretty well.
It seems like people are determining whether a manager is successful or not based on visibility and playercount.
If you're doing most of your development on Era Dev then your visibility is going to be low.
And because Graal in general is dying server playercounts are down across the board.
Era now has an average playercount of about 40.
Unholy Nation's average is about the same.
Zodiac's average is about 45 (likely due to the removal of trial limitations i.e. no observer mode on Zodiac).
Any manager from now on is going to have a hard time keeping the server above water. Graal isn't attracting new players, so they need to start trying to poach players from the other servers. First thing I'd be doing is getting in contact with Stefan and trying to make a deal to remove observer mode from Era as well.
