Back end team restructure

Although all players will not be in anyway affected by this, I believe this post will share some insights on the team maintaining UC for those who are curious.

It has always been in our plans to improve our team coordination, management and transparency which were long overdue. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with our current team and I am thankful for everyone who has dedicated their precious time to improve the game.

I would like to first start by apologizing for any uneventful (any bad planned) migration and implementation of this process.


What is the problem then?

There is no proper operational procedure set in place for our back-end team therefore some players have encountered confusing issues especially when they discuss their problems with multiple Guide/Admin . When discussing player problems I have personally found different Guide/Admin have different sets of procedures and different interpretation of the game-rule.


What is going on then?

We are currently starting our back-end team a fresh, by using operational procedures to ensure all Guide/Admin are on the same page.


How would that affect me?

Hopefully all Guide/Admin that you contact will be able to paint the same and best picture for your question, queries and problems.


Current Guide/Admin

Please be patient if you are a Guide/Admin as the current Admin will personally be in touch with you. Feel free to drop a beep in the event he/she forgets.

OK Tribaltea...or gameadmin or whoever you want to be called, I have a few direct questions for you regarding your latest post, if you wqould answer atleast one of them it would be great because to date you have not given any information out regarding why this is happening and why your hack attemp messed up everyones emails and the removal of the Edmin site that the GMA team have been using for years to police the game, fix bugs and work out haw to make the game fun.

So here we go, these are all direct quotes from your last post:


This is becoming tedious.

----> Indeed it is, care to explain why it is becoming tedious when it isn`t needed in the first place? It`s like you have got a paper cut on your little finger and you cut your arm off at the shoulder because it hurts. Right now this is only `getting tedious` because you are not giving full transparancy, which ironically is one of the things you say in the original post.

Practice what you preach.

You have been given the facts that are relevant but choose to ignore them the only head admin so far is for uc and that`s another staff member

---> I would love to see those facts that are more detailed than 1-2 lines as to why things have been changed. We expect better, we expect information. No offense inteded but this is not a dictatorship, currently you re dictating your terms like Saddam Husain and we all know how that ended. You may think you have stephens ear, thing is, we, the community, do too.

People panicking that should know better and trying to convince others they are right is not constructive.

---> I must say this also cuts both ways. You are not being constructive at all in your replies. One to two line answers does not inspire confidence, it inspires concern that the person has no idea on the subject matter at hand, which you seem to not really have a full grasp of currently.


This was intended to be a temporary measure however the longer this goes on the longer it will take

Thank you GA for uniting GC against a common foe. Usually not even NPCs can do that.

Please climb back into the hole they call uc from where you came.
I Infernal
As someone who has been around since the age of the first admins, I believe my opinion might have some weight for your consideration. And I think, like everyone else here, that you have no idea what you`re doing and that you`re doing this out of spite or something. There`s no reason to rejig a team that is by most accounts doing well enough for the community.
So bugger off back to uc.
G GradualIncline
Nuts to this, I`m out of here until further notice. I will not play while information and explanations that make sense about the recent events are hidden from those it is affecting. GA, you say all relevant information has been given, but you haven`t really told us anything what so ever. Smoke-screening and words that explain nothing don`t work, they just cause people to distrust you and leave the game.

I can only take so much BS, and this goes way over the top. Hope it gets cleared up for the rest of you. Maybe someone will let me know when things are better and the tyrant is no longer in control. Might consider coming back then. Goodbye GC, been a fun 10 years.

First off, this is only becoming tedious because you have taken it upon yourself to be responsible for something you have no business in. Also, all this sh!t your doing or trying to do is completely unwanted and not needed at all. Also, you don`t have a clue what to do, do you?

Second, only giving us facts that YOU feel are relevant is the highest of arrogance. This further proves that your actions are those of a dictator. Nothing good ever comes from absolute authority. History has proven this time and again.

Third, we are not panicking. We are pissed off at you. You`re nothing but a cowardly, vicious little queen who conjured up from the depths of your shallow, tiny little brain the need to prove yourself superior to everyone else around you. Could it be ego? Who knows? WHO F*CKING CARES! No one cares about you. Only that your sh!tting on our game and we dont like it. Stephen sanctioned or not, WE DONT WANT THESE CHANGES.

How indeed can that be made clearer for your stup!d little mind to understand?

Finally, you say this is only temporary... well, again history proves that "temporary" is a relative term. Temporary by your standards could mean an eternity for us.

I suspect that the real intent is to somehow weed out corruption. Well, you`re making a sh!tty job of it because the most corrupt individual around here, now, is you, Trib.

I implore you, let US decide what is relevant. If you reaally want to be the benevolent ruler of gamestotal, we DEMAND COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY. NOW.

Give us what we want or GTFO.

Sincerely,
Wolf359

Well You Can tell the creator (Stephen) that im not paying another dime to this dam game With all the stuff going on He Should Be telling us this NOT YOU

If He wants my $ hes got to work for it End Of Story

You`ve been given the facts as well. You aren`t wanted here, your changes aren`t wanted, and you will never have any power here. So as politely as I can put this, F OFF.

GameAdmin...I mean this with the utmost respect that i could give to another human being in a situation such as this--WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!

Your actions belie your words. No admin should be required to “reapply” for a position that you stole from them, unless of course you can use it as an excuse to deny them. After having conferred that right yourself with highly questionable login activity. And that speaks volumes to the arguments made against your statements and actions. No one has heard from Stephen directly except you. Nothing has been said by Stephen directly, only through you. And no facts have been heard except what you’ve decided is relevant.

No, I’m not at all convinced that this has been sanctioned by Stephen, with his FULL knowledge of ALL facts. At this point, I’m not convinced that you’re even telling the truth at all.

But I am convinced you are not acting in the best interest of players, or the games. This looks like clear attempt at removing staff that you personally wish to remove, as well as an attempt to take control of gamestotal completely as you have intruded upon both gc and uc.

@ GA, I am going to have to ask for some proof to you accusations, because looking at past admins conduct was within guidelines set by previous admins like Treg/Eternus/Pandy.

The other thing that concerns me as an old guide is the screening process of new admins/guides. To what lengths do you think the ones you give admin access will know what to do without insight from previous GC admins. The other thing is practical, you say after you do all of this you would no longer be taking a role in GC. To me that always is a catch-22 if things don`t go the way you like it, what could stop you from doing it again. Anyhow of the 50 or so GC players left, it wouldn`t really surprise me if the people you vetted through your staffing process aren`t GCers, but I guess I will see.
R Renegade Admin
@ Tribal - You have absolutely no say in GC, and no amount of hacking will ever change that. You can takeover and call yourself Head Admin, but this isn`t UC. Please stop trying to pretend otherwise.
B borok
Trib offer up some names, actions and concrete proof. As far as a new team, how many people do you think would care in the slightest about running GC under these conditions? We were beyond lucky to get the admins we had, but with your hostile take over you may have completely sunk the game. Congrats trib, you lit up the one game under gamestotal that was good.
E EvilAbadayos
I do hope your not thinking that my previous comments are reflective on the current staff that where around up until a few days ago.

I was a guide and have thus quit, at last count, 3 times for various reasons, as you will be able to see if you look up my profile admin side. You will also see if you check the log in info that I have stopped playing GC as of 8-12 months ago in totality. So if your goin to go after someone with your vindictive behaviour towards the people that have put in the hard work to keep this game running with events like the raffle (wicca), the occasional NPC UW (EE/BW and others) and other general upkeep of the help center (everyone on the team) then , go right ahead, however please be informed before you go about this. To this end, I am not held to any GMA Guidelines and thus any information I have currently is outside of said guidelines as they terminated at the same time as my staff position.

Some feel we, as a player base, have no actual choice in this action.

I am going to ask again, can we have some real transparency in your actions, why this was done, what the intent is, where it is going and what the final end term goal is for this project of yours Trib? I may seem overly hostile and that is not the intent, it is however, a concerning situation for many people who have invested literally years of their lives into this game and none of them would want to see the game go down the toilet or such.

Cheers

glad i am now a part time player, i hate the way the GC game has changed over the years, and i never play UC anymore because of the heavy handed actions of the GAs
G GameAdminOP
yes.. seen as how staff wish to continue to ignore their own conduct rules

a couple of you seemed intent on abusing your admin controls.. and as your proving in here are less than responsible when your toys are taken away. Hence the adjustment of players email details this was the catalyst for doing it now rather than with time existing schedule. I

After the restructure is complete gc admins will have more control over how gc is run and ability to adjust the game to improve it for player. AT which point i would no longer being taking a role in gc.

however if the current behaviour continues it will be with completely new team.

Its your choice.

If not you are well aware of what happens

GameAdmin is Tribaltea from UC...I`m sure you have heard about him and their actions. If not contact a few of teh old timers around here and they will be more than happy to fill you in. Hell I even have some interested edmin screen shots from a few years ago on an old computer I could possibly dig up in a few hours to show osme interesting tid bits.
