Player Services Admin vs. Developmental Admin (Reopened)

[cbk1994]

You sure speak a lot for someone who has absolutely no idea how Era is run right now.

I cannot say whether you are right or wrong. No one knows. There is no clear-cut "job description" for a development admin. After being promoted, I was never given a list of duties. My job, the way I see it, is to ensure that development happens on Era. Development, in other words, means content. This includes guns and gangs.

The reason your guns were "nerfed" was to prevent you from selling them for a huge profit before Masa had a chance to tamper with them. I've already told you that Masa will take a second look and change them as he sees fit.

This is honestly not the most demanding job I've ever held, though I do feel like I am responsible for many things. I've made mistakes, especially after being first hired; I openly acknowledge that. Anyone would. I don't think there's a person on the high staff team who can claim never having messed up on Era. However, I do not feel I am making a mistake by what I am doing now for Era. Both Masa and Daz are extremely busy in real life right now, especially Daz (with his child coming). There is nothing wrong, in my views, with stepping up to fill certain parts of their positions while they are away. You certainly would have no problem with me updating one of the gang leader "clones" in the gang bases, would you, regardless of the fact that this would normally be handled by someone else?

Player services, from my understanding, means dealing with players. Jailings, bannings, events, non-dev staff. That's all Squirt's area. Even certain things with gangs or businesses can be placed there, but I do not place the actual development of these gangs or businesses in this category.

As I just said, jailings/bannings are player services. Does this mean I'm going outside of my "duties" when I punish someone for breaking the rules? I don't think so. Aside from being the development administrator, I'm also an administrator. Many of your arguments are like saying that it is not the duty of the manager to ban or jail someone, it should only be the PSA doing this. The manager should manage the staff (or whatever you think a manager should do). This simply isn't true, so stop saying it.

To recap what I already said, I have no job description. I have no clean-cut duties, only some that I have set for myself. There's no point in trying to say what my duties are when I really have none. You need to stop comparing me to former Development Administrators. The staff setup was extremely different then that it is now.

On that note, I will not be making any other posts in this thread.

I doubt that...

Anyways, my opinion on the PSA position is pretty much the same as Guns Admin. They were both created for political reasons instead of as a way to help the server. Personally, I think that on any server, the GP Admin, LAT Admin, GFX Admin, etc should be reporting directly to the Manager and his/her Asst. Manager.

First of all, in my initial statement, I stated that the Manager is second to none and both Admins are second to him.

You keep claiming this Administration is setup sooooooo much differently, yet everything looks the exact same to me, everytime I spoke with Deophite or Squirt about the team, same terminologies and understanding was used between me and them, therefore I highly doubt your claim to be "different".

Second of all, if your job was Server Administrator,you'd have been najed Server Administrator, instead its Developmental Administrator. The definition of that was as I stated, stop trying to use wordplay to tweak meanings into your benefit.

All this time you've been arguing what jobs were developmental and what wasn't, and now all the sudden it changes?
Squirt is your equal opposite, he manages half, you manage the other half. He is not less than you, if you say you have the right to do everything, that means he has the rights to the same meaning he can mess with Development and Developmental Staff as he pleases.

We all know thats not the case because both your jobs were specifically named and given boundaries, you're trying justify the stepping over of your boundaries by saying its unlimited.


Also, your nerfing of the guns did nothing, an UMP is worth a million or more. FN Mark is worth over 4 million and Angels are 350,000$ each.

Gun Prices are done due to their rarity and X-Factor, regardless of their stats. Basically, you just handed me a means of scamming if I cared much about money or items.
I was offered Shipka once FN Mark.
Even today, a DR.

The price will never drop because a player who buys it will never sell it for less than he paid because thay costs.

All the more reason to give it stats to match its cost, rarity and price. Due to the fact that you didn't foresee this, just adds one more reason for you NOT to touch guns.

Also, Vulcan apparently he says setting gun stats, taglocking and untaglocking is so developmental. rofl, Squirt didn't even contest it, ha.

Poor fella loses so much power and does nothing.

Thats how it used to be if I remember correctly.
