I am not at all attacking Daz for his inactivity nor stampeding you because you gave him "leniency". My main point is, while he is gone, his duties are unfulfilled. Events are no longer regularly hosted, Gangs are not at all monitored, and if anything gang-related is not functioning correctly, the leaders have to wait for DAZ to appear and rectify the problem. Hence my quarrel, which leads to another mal-quality in our PSA. Squirt taking over for Daz would be a counter-productive rectification, seeing as he isn't qualified nor prepared to have control Gangs/Businesses. Which also leads to a conclusion of the fact he isn't "fit" to do more than be a "GP". I always pictured a PSA as being qualified to handle EVERY job individually under his/her jurisdiction. Meaning a PSA must be a qualified: ETA, GPC, Gang Admin, Business Admin and etc. Which is why you were unfit for the job as well, Deophite. Squirt attends to the GPs because that is the only thing he knows how to do, which signifies Frankie's point, he's fit for nothing more than a GP. We don't need someone to be wasting the potential of the job by "learning", when there are others who initially could've done the job to its fullest potential. Ex. "Daz". Your favour of Squirt has given more than the benefit of the doubt to acquire that position. Who else would've given it to him?

A step backwards? I don’t see how Era is any worse than it was when there was a staff change. It’s true there have been some setbacks ever since our Dev Team came into existence. However, it took some time but we are currently back on track and working on things we should have been from the start. As for maturity, ill be honest. I am probably the most mature staff member on Era simply because I am older than everyone else. That is not to say that I have a bunch of immature kids working under me because that isn’t the case. For the most part most of the staff are mature and rarely goof off.
[/QUOTE]
Why is it not? Chris Vimes isn't exactly the pinnacle of maturity, neither is Squirt and I can go down the line naming them. So yes, the maturity level is LOW.
[/QUOTE]
But I have personally only hired a few dev members here and there. I let the Dev Admin decide who to hire unless I feel strongly about a specific person.

You just made Frankie's point for him. You don't hire others to do your job for you, in retrospet... the Management should be MUCH more deeply involved with the Developmental-Aspect of the server than any other. Seeing as that is the back-bone, you're more of an Advisor, than a Manager. You are supposed to thoroughly review and go over every Developmental Addition to your team. Hiring of Developers should be a tag-team procedure. Meaning having a strong central idea of what a "good" developer is. Chris Vimes himself isn't even a "developer", so to speak. He is an NAT. Angel was a "Developer", Daz is a "Developer", Sales is a "Developer".
Yes, a Manager doesn't need to KNOW how to Develope, but he does in-deed need a central idea of every job on the server. Meaning to know whats a "good" job and whats a "bad" job. Not relying on those hired to tell you.
You should be the one telling them whats right or wrong. You aren't PWA, you don't just sit back and affiliate when necessary, your affiliation with the workings should be full-time. You're not on a at-need basis, you're supposed to always be there. Take "Streety" for example, UN's Manager. Always on the scene, and he isn't much of a Developer either. Not in the scripting department atleast. But yet, he always on the developmental scene as well as the player-related. Watching and stepping in when necessary. HE runs server, not Administration, they are what they should be, "assistance".

Also the fact that I do not develop is bitter sweet in my opinion. On one hand I could contribute more to the addition of all the new content and speed up the process. On the other hand I do not have that holding me back from focusing on my other duties. Because of this all of my focus goes into managing the staff team as a whole, making sure the server continues to move forward and that everyone is doing the job they were hired to do. Making sure everyone gets along and that my RC stays drama free. As a past Admin you should know that this isn’t always as easy as it sounds. It isn’t always as simple as asking someone to do something and getting results or a yes or no answer. Sometimes I have to bring out a side of me that I don't like to show. But it's required sometimes in order to make sure things go according to plan.[/QUOTE]
According to who's plan? Is the question.

You are not giving him enough credit. Squirt is a capable person, and has learned a whole lot ever since I brought him on as a GP. He learns more and more with each day and is deserving of his current position.[/QUOTE]
You are giving him too much credit because he in your eyes is a version of you. Squirt knows nothing of every job under his jurisdiction besides GP.
Sounds deserving, doesn't it? Shouldn't he have learned before he got the job? PSA isn't a "training" job, if I may say so.
I loathe corruption, and I do not stand for it. I am very strict when handling any situation regarding it. This is a major difference between myself and some of the past Admins. I’m not really sure what you are talking about with the Chris situation and me ignoring you. If it has to do with a robot then I took care of it as soon as I got a pm from you. As for him being in charge of “Era’s future”, that isn’t totally accurate. While he does have most of the control on new content, it is not a dictatorship. He gets feedback from Me, Squirt and lots of other staff about any new ideas or any concepts regarding the “New” Era and takes all of it into account. I think you should appreciate someone like Chris a little more. He has done TONS of work for Era in the amount of time he has been staff, and not a lot of people give him credit for this. And despite what others may think he is probably one of the most mature kids I have ever seen in his age group.[/QUOTE]
Corrupion exists as rambunctiously as it did in the previous 3-2 Eras.
You're not around enough.
