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.

holy s**t... Im sure I speak for everyone in GC when I say that if there`s anything you need EE, BW, just let us know. Not much we can actually DO but if it helps to spread the word beyond the forum....like designate a number of players per person to PM or something....

we`ll stay on top of things as best we can. I apologize for the confusion and inconvenience this causes anyone.. unfortunately what EE says is correct we at present are unable to do any server maintenance or update the banner.

As for "GameAdmin" and this whole current set of events i do not condone or approve of his actions. Especially from someone who acts of their on without so much as a word to anyone to begin with and to even go a far to claim you spoke with staff about the things you saw as `wrong` you didn`t even try at least if you did you didn`t do it with all of us like you should have.. you speak of proper procedure and pull a stunt like this it`s both insulting and sickening.

Now i`m going to provide the truth of fact as i see it Tribaltea had resigned from staff after stating he told Stephen to remove his admin access. After giving things some time and also going over the facts of him giving out private information to players (I`ve already confirmed this with ThePlague and several others Gary don`t even try to deny it).. His admin access was then revoked both for the reasons stated above and more..

At this point it should`ve been the end of it but it far from was.. he followed up by logging into Stephen`s admin account (It`s nice a random ex admin can log into the owners account right?)

Either way, sucks staff is corrupt, and ste doesn`t care.

sadly that is a possibility GM hopefully a remote possibility, but if you get hacked hopefully we`ll still be able to find out who did it and fix anything they may have done. I`m sorry i really hate having my hands tied like this i want to start working on the problem now but i can`t.

Though i also want it to be known also that despite all this an no matter what happens in the future as long as i have an account here as a member of staff or not, you can a feel free to PM me any questions and i will try to answer them or help you to the best of my abilities. I`m sure many of the other current/Former staff feel the same way.

Hey But if our email is changed then our account can get hacked
E EphemeralEternity
Yeah it just means he never took the Physical A off my account and that my help center access is limited to that of a basic Guide and they have no powers, just the ability to have their name on a list so people can find them easier and the ability to see some of the threads posted in the HC.
E ear614
Ok I was wondering since it still says you are a admin. :P
E EphemeralEternity
atm i have no more powers than any of you, i can`t even edit forum post aside from pming players, the Email issues shouldn`t be to big of a deal unless you need to recover your password. But when and if i ever regain powers that will be a top priority for me contacting everyone to fix emails.
E ear614
EE is it possible to tell everyone about the email issue through something, since some players don`t check the boards?
E EphemeralEternity
One way or the other we`ll try our best to get to the bottom of this for you guys, and i`ll try to make sure you guys are affected as little as possible in the process even if this does cost me my position as staff

Thanks fror trying to clear things up EE!!
Hope things get worked out :P
D dreamer
Uh holy dung.. well whoever you are GA.. if what EE said below is true and by looking at the current staff roster.. wtf?

no really.. wtf
E EphemeralEternity
By the way if you if there is even the slightest truth to this in regards to stephen being in on this or OKing this (which i doubt there is, especially in your methods) then you picked the worst possible way to do this. This is something that should have been told to all staff by stephen way prior. Not hijacking the game and "firing all staff" with only you having sole Administrative access.

What if someone needs an admin to do something, you are certainly hindering our ability to help players. Also UC may have a tone of issues, but you know nothing of GC or how things are in GC unless you`ve been playing for a few years in disguise so your intrusion here is unwarranted.
E EphemeralEternity
Sorry i don`t like having my post edit, you talk about transparency and yet you edit me. so i will post again

I don`t want to talk to you TribalTea, as far as i`m concern you`ve hacked the game yet again but this time instead of limiting your manipulations to UC, where at one time you did have some authority, you`ve now move in on GC where you have never had any authority at all with the exception of where chat issues are concerned. So it begins with giving yourself paid staff privileges, to which stephen turns a blind eye as he usually does. then turn your UC accounts into "test accounts" and give yourself paid projects artifacts and the like that you then take and give to your friends in side of UC. and we watch again as stephen turns a blind eye to your cheating.

but now you`ve removed all staff without consent of stephen your pettiness knows no bounds, and your hacking into the Admin panel was brilliant yesterday did you realize that through your hacking that you change the email of all GC players to the exact same thing, so now that will have to be rectified by hand.

You quit staff some months ago due to do being upset that while hacking UC to fix the DM there you made things worse and then blamed your own short comings on J and Arago so that UC players would still hold you up as there holy savior and not blame you for issues on the DM.

Until i hear other wise from stephen himself you are nothing more than a rogue ex admin abusing your abilities and past knowledge for what ever childish reasons you can dream up.

To the GC population i am sorry you have to endure all of this i really am, hopefully this "Issue" will be resolved quickly and things can be put back into order soon, again i am truthfully sorry.
W wolf359
Wow... actual operating procedures.. Does this apply to GC as well or does GC already have such procedures in place?
E EphemeralEternity
Sorry but its incorrect stephen will tell you himself tomorrow
