Before I was upset with them replacing the statue with a sign up NPC that could have been placed in a multitude of places other than the exact spot where EC's statue was, but now that I realize it's funny (squirt with an afro lol)...I feel like such a fool.

We're all sad about EC, but the statue has been up for what, two months now? Did you think it was going to be permanent?

if I remember correctly, you weren't even on the staff team when his statue was put up, yet you're going on about how it was never supposed to be permanent. big bad dev admin Chris Vimes after 2 weeks of being staff on Era decides EC only deserves a statue for 2 months. I totally forgot who I was dealing with here!

point being, the statue wasn't harming anybody. was there really a reason to remove it? you honestly think that the statue was there too long and needed to be deleted? it wasn't in the way, didn't really bother anyone (if it did I don't see why..) it was a nice little memorial for EC who was a great person and a great player/staff member. you went out of your way to remove it to replace it with Squirt with an afro when you could of placed that BotB NPC anywhere else at unstick me. quite sad honestly.

ontopic: I think Monty's band seems promising. I hope he wins.

I agree with Chris.

Of course it doesnt hurt anybody Frankie, but the fact that you have the statue of a player in the game looks unproffesional.

I really dont want Era to become a mausoleum

EC had a huge impact on Era.

Remembering the life of a person who meant a great deal to a large majority of the servers is unprofessional? First of all, you can have a soul and be professional.
Secondly, let me get this straight:
A statue/sculpture (a form of fine arts that's been recognized and included in many professional works throughout history) memorial of a deceased player isn't professional.

But a ridiculous, afro-wearing bloke playing a triangle is professional?

And for the record, since when the hell has Graal ever been professional?

Do you think staff teams built entirely from the PLAYER-base is professional?
Graphics of all styles, levels of quality, and perspectives is professional?

Using archaic methods such as staff blocks instead of automated server messages (if it was important, just ping it everytime someone logs in?) is professional?

Staff players wandering around unstick me showing off a variety of spawned/unavailable/in progress weapons/instruments/etc. is professional?

Useless mass messages from staff members pertaining to inside jokes that happen on RC chat is professional? (That's not happening so much anymore, thank god. I've only seen it once or twice in quite some time)


The list could go on and on. Bottom line: Even if you disagree with my view of professional, don't try to undermine the value of a lost life by acting as if a memorial is some kind of petty eyesore or annoyance.

What, do you want to get rid of graveyards in real life, too? They're wasting prime real estate space. How unprofessional.


I'm really excited to play the piano at battle of the bands. werty werty ytr ytr werty

[Frankie]

a statue placed in front of a building is unprofessional? there are plenty of statues of people in cities all around this world. how is that unprofessional?

have you been in the ET house? they have statues of past ET admins FFS. they don't even have statues for past managers. ET admins clearly are more important though.

also, I'm not sure what instrument I should play in BotB

My God, its a game. not real life.

then don't propose an argument based on being unprofessional on a game if you're just going to counter it with "it's just a game."

this just in, I might be playing the drums in the event. my friends helped me decide

First it's "GUYS ACT PROFESSIONAL"

now it's

"LIGHTEN UP ITS JUST A GAME"


Which is it?

I wish everyone the greatest amount of luck in the virtual instrument contest dubbed "Battle of the 'Bands'". :]

You remember incorrectly, I'd been on the staff team for at least a month at that point.

point being, the statue wasn't harming anybody. was there really a reason to remove it? you honestly think that the statue was there too long and needed to be deleted? it wasn't in the way, didn't really bother anyone (if it did I don't see why..) it was a nice little memorial for EC who was a great person and a great player/staff member.

No, it wasn't harming anybody, but why leave it there?

you went out of your way to remove it to replace it with Squirt with an afro when you could of placed that BotB NPC anywhere else at unstick me. quite sad honestly.

I did not remove it so I'd have a place to put the Battle of the Bands signup. It had already been removed; it wasn't even myself who removed it to be honest. It simply disappeared when I updated the GMAP as it should have, and I happened to place the Battle of the Bands NPC there.

I didn't say it wasn't professional, so I guess you're talking to Nataxo, but the statue still exists elsewhere. I don't see any reason to leave it at unstick for eternity.

But a ridiculous, afro-wearing bloke playing a triangle is professional?

Again, I didn't say that, but it's somewhat of a fun joke. The only reason people don't like it, in my opinion, is because it "replaced" the EC memorial.

Now you're just being ridiculous.

there's really no justification for this. he just feels like being a douche bag.

The current staff team does not spawn items that are used to my knowledge, no.

I've explained my reasoning to you. Enough about the statue though, this thread is about the contest.

I have a few questions I'd like to ask about that, but not here.

I've gone off topic enough times now.

ON TOPIC: Who wants to bet 50[percent] of the songs will be from Zelda or Mario?

Nothing wrong with that. You can't really expect people to write their own music for this, though I guess that would be a bonus. Keep in mind a lot of the judges will probably vote high for music they like/know though, so Mario is a good way to go (and Zelda).
