Well he should, and Since the Administrator isn't around, he should hire a secretary

no, he shouldn't have to. he has a million other PMs to attend to, your's is probably as important as the person below you who pmed him.

Funny I don't remember ever seeing him on Era, before or after he became manager.

He has been manager for a while now, nothing has changed. Us stating that nothing has changed is not ignorant, nor is disagreeing with the direction he wants to take Era in. Just because someone doesn't support your idea doesn't make them ignorant it just means they don't like your idea.

When a manager resigns or gets fired that means they let a server fall so far into decay that either they or their superiors know that it cannot be salvaged, I really would like to avoid that happening with Era.

Deo from your post it seems you want whats best for Era. I have nothing against you and as far as I can tell nor does anyone else, your even admired because of your determination to make Era a better server. But simply we just doubt your lack of experience with a server as unique as Era and we believe the direction your taking the server in would ruin Era by transforming it into something completely different. Era and its players are very different from any server on Graal, meaning Era has to be managed differently then any server on Graal. Anyway sadly so far it seems like your just repeating the mistakes of past managers because you were not present to learn from their errors like other qualified members of the community were.

You make it sound like he doesn't take anyone's suggestions. If you believe something should be done why don't you just PM him your ideas, or a development person your ideas and then they will be regarded. I believe the Dev Server is also going to be open to the public, therefore, if you have anything to contribute you can.

Funny, I saw him on Era all the time when I was his boss. Maybe you just weren't paying attention.

That isn't necessarily true, especially in the case of a manager's resignation.
People have lives outside of Graal, y'know.

I've always wondered if Deo even wanted the manager position. It seems to me that Houdini just gave it to him because nobody else at the time was qualified for manager especially after Sales quit. The only reason why Deo has anything to do with Era is because his spot as the GP Chief was supposed to be some sort of evaluation before they made him a PWA. I'm pretty sure the last thing he expected when trying to get PWA was winding up as Era's manager.

Quite frankly (Haha I said frankly.. how ironic) I don't think Deo is a very suitable Manager. Not because of who he is or where he plays most. But for the simple fact that it doesn't seem like he enjoys doing what he's doing, nor does it seem as if he is very "cozy" to the community with which he lies. In my opinion a Manager should be very "open-ended" and by that meaning that they should be open and more than willing to do what is necessary to improve the server, and they should also be open to what the players want. By what i've seen, Deo doesn't very much seem like he cares much as to what the players of the server think. I know if I was Manager, if a player had a good opinion on something, it would matter more than mine tbh. But I don't know, there isn't much you can do about him being Manager so might as well leave it as is.

You have no idea what its like being a manager, so many pm's and the work you do if you are one of those that likes to develop, i dount Deo ignores anyone it's just hard to do alot at once.

I was never manager but I was still really close and I probably had just as many messages as the manager did. In all honesty, it's way over rated.

Deo will probobly kill era. and i want wait till he does to laugh in every ones face for being so ignorant.

I answer 8/10 PM's I get. The ones I don't answer right away are usually because I am preoccupied. Often times the person I answer doesn't like my answer and continually pm's me about the same subject. This is when I start to ignore them because at that point talking to them is a waste of my time. There is a difference in this and flat out ignoring someone.

You aren't one to complain Ace. What other Manager would have given you the chance I did with the history that you have? It's unfortunate that you once again blew it and are back where you started. This is obviously the root of your sudden hostility towards me.

Your right. The Manager position was thrown into my lap. I didn't ask for it nor did I expect to get it. However, I acknowledged Era had a problem and needed help so I accepted the job in order to steer things in the right direction. I am trying my best to keep all the staff active and in line while making sure Dev continues at a steady pace.

I have a bitter sweet relationship with Era. I probably play on client there less then any other staff but I still have fun sometimes. It's more about business for me though which can be mundane at times. I am open minded and I listen to the players. Although, I like give each Department Chief a bit of sovereignty in their respective divisions. I don't intervene unless I feel it is absolutely necessary. It is also easier for me to evaluate them this way.

I am all for some constructive criticism, but were you not the one who wanted to try and become Manager when Houdini was around and you were a LAT? Then you ended up being fired for trying to wreck the server forcing us to do a rollback. So, forgive me if I do not except your criticism as well as the others.

Actually no, I didn't "Try" to become Manager at all to be honest. I simply told Tigarius that I would have liked to have held the position, than after seeing how much of the staff team consisted of idiots, I decided to "wreck" the server if that's what you want to call it. Although I never even tried to wreck the server, I simply spawned myself money for personal use. But either way, I see in no way at all how your statement has any relevance to what I was saying about accepting players opinions.. please explain?

I remember you warping into peoples houses and taking their items. I think you even even traded the items from which you took from peoples houses to get some other items. You say you weren't wrecking anything on the server, however, ruining isn't ruining the economy and stealing peoples items considered as wrecking the server
